Autocallable Market-Linked Notes Linked to the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER Due October 31, 2030

Overview

§ The notes offered by this pricing supplement are unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not pay interest. Instead, the notes offer the potential to receive a premium upon automatic early redemption or at maturity depending on the performance of the underlying specified below.
§ The notes offer the potential for automatic early redemption at a premium following the first valuation date (other than the final valuation date) on which the closing value of the underlying is greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to that valuation date. If the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, the notes will provide for repayment of the stated principal amount plus a premium at maturity if the final underlying value is greater than or equal to the applicable premium threshold value. However, if the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlying value is less than the applicable premium threshold value, you will be repaid the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity but will not receive any return on your investment. You will not receive dividends with respect to the underlying or participate in any appreciation of the underlying.
§ The notes are designed for investors who are willing to forgo interest on the notes and accept the risk of not receiving any return on the notes in exchange for the possibility of automatic early redemption at a premium or, if the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, a premium at maturity, based in each case on the performance of the underlying. Investors should understand that there is no guarantee that they will receive a positive return on their investment in the notes and that even if they do receive a positive return, there is no assurance that their total return at maturity on the notes will compensate them for the effects of inflation or be as great as the yield you could have achieved on a conventional debt security of ours of comparable maturity.
§ The underlying tracks exposure to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index on a volatility-targeted, trend-adjusted basis, less certain notional costs and less a decrement of 6% per annum. The underlying is highly risky because it may reflect highly leveraged exposure to any decline in the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index. The S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index tracks futures contracts on the S&P 500® Index and is likely to underperform the S&P 500® Index because of an implicit financing cost. In addition, notional costs and a decrement of 6% per annum will be a significant drag on the underlying's performance. You should carefully review the section "Summary Risk Factors-Risks relating to the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER" in this pricing supplement.
§ Investors in the notes must be willing to accept (i) an investment that may have limited or no liquidity and (ii) the risk of not receiving any payments due under the notes if we and Citigroup Inc. default on our obligations. All payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.

(1) Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. currently expects that the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be at least $850.00 per note, which will be less than the issue price. The estimated value of the notes is based on CGMI's proprietary pricing models and our internal funding rate. It is not an indication of actual profit to CGMI or other of our affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the notes from you at any time after issuance. See "Valuation of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.

(2) CGMI will receive an underwriting fee of up to $45.00 for each note sold in this offering. The total underwriting fee and proceeds to issuer in the table above give effect to the actual total underwriting fee. For more information on the distribution of the notes, see "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" in this pricing supplement. In addition to the underwriting fee, CGMI and its affiliates may profit from expected hedging activity related to this offering, even if the value of the notes declines. See "Use of Proceeds and Hedging" in the accompanying prospectus.

(3) The per note proceeds to issuer indicated above represent the minimum per note proceeds to issuer for any note, assuming the maximum per note underwriting fee. As noted above, the underwriting fee is variable.

Concurrent with this offering of the notes, the issuer is offering other notes that are similar to the notes but that have economic terms that differ from those provided by the notes. The differences in the economic terms reflect differences in costs to the issuer in connection with the distribution of the notes and such other notes.

Investing in the notes involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See "Summary Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-8.

Summary Index Description

All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER (the "underlying" or the "Index") has been derived from information provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, the Index sponsor, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the Index sponsor. The Index sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish the Index and may discontinue publication of the Index at any time. The Index launched on August 14, 2025 and, therefore, has a limited performance history.

The Index tracks exposure to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index (which we refer to as the "Underlying Futures Index") on a volatility-targeted, trend-adjusted basis, less certain notional costs and less a decrement of 6% per annum. The Index has a volatility target of 35%, which it attempts to achieve by applying leverage to its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index (up to a maximum of 500%) when the underlying volatility is less than the volatility target, and by reducing its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index below 100% when the underlying volatility is greater than the volatility target. The Index may reset its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at each of four intraday windows during each index business day based on a measure of the underlying volatility at the related intraday fixing time, subject to scaling up or down depending on a measure of the intraday trend of the Underlying Futures Index at that time (and, for the fourth intraday window only, subject to adjustment up or down based on the overnight mean-reversion trend), and may reset its exposure again at the closing of trading, all as described in more detail in the accompanying Index Supplement.

The Underlying Futures Index tracks the performance of a hypothetical investment, rolled quarterly, in futures contracts on the S&P 500® Index, and accordingly is expected to reflect the performance of the S&P 500® Index less an implicit financing cost. The S&P 500® Index consists of the common stocks of 500 issuers selected to provide a performance benchmark for the large capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

The methodology of the Index is premised on the following key assumptions: (1) that there will be an inverse relationship between performance and volatility, so that the Underlying Futures Index will tend to increase in times of lower volatility and decline in times of higher volatility; (2) that short-term intraday trends in the value of the Underlying Futures Index will tend to continue; (3) that the Index rules can effectively identify when conditions are favorable for an overnight mean-reversion in the Underlying Futures Index and effectively adjust its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index up or down in response; (4) that the applicable measures of underlying volatility used by the Index will be effective predictors of future volatility of the Underlying Futures Index from one intraday window to the next; and (5) that the volatility target for the Index will be an effective level of volatility at which to draw the line between leveraged exposure and deleveraged exposure to the Underlying Futures Index. If these assumptions prove to be consistently correct, then the Index has the potential to outperform the Underlying Futures Index by participating in increases on a leveraged basis and declines on a deleveraged basis. There is no guarantee, however, that these assumptions will be proven correct over any given time period. If any of these assumptions does not prove to be consistently correct, then the Index may perform poorly as a result of having highly leveraged exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of declines and/or having reduced exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of increases.

If the Index is not consistently successful in increasing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of increases in the Underlying Futures Index and reducing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of declines, then the Index is also expected to be subject to a "decay" effect, which will exacerbate the decline in the Index that results from having highly leveraged exposure to declines in the Underlying Futures Index. The decay effect would result from the fact that the Index resets its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index multiple times each index business day, and would manifest any time the Underlying Futures Index moves in one direction from one intraday window to the next and another direction from that subsequent intraday window to the next after that. The decay effect would result because resetting exposure after an increase but in advance of a decline would cause the Index to have increased exposure to that decline, and resetting exposure following a decline but in advance of an increase would cause the Index to have decreased exposure to that increase. The more this fact pattern repeats, the lower the performance of the Index would be relative to the performance of the Underlying Futures Index.

It is important to understand that the Index provides exposure to the S&P 500® Index that:

1. may be leveraged up to 500%, or alternatively may reflect less than 100% participation;
2. is reduced by an implicit financing cost;
3. may be subject to a decay effect;
4. is reduced by notional costs that will be greater with more frequent and larger adjustments of the exposure of the Index to the Underlying Futures Index; and
5. is reduced by a decrement of 6% per annum.

As a result of these features, the Index may significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index. The Index is likely to significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index if it is not consistently successful in increasing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of increases in the Underlying Futures Index and reducing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of declines in the Underlying Futures Index. The Index may significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index even if it is consistently successful in these respects because of the implicit financing cost, the notional costs and the decrement, or because the reduced exposure of the Index to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of a decline may nevertheless reflect significantly greater than 100% participation in the decline of the Underlying Futures Index.

PS-5
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.

Certain features of the Index - including the fact that it references the Underlying Futures Index, and not the S&P 500® Index directly, the deduction of notional costs and the decrement of 6% per annum - are designed to reduce and/or offset the cost to us and our affiliates of hedging transactions that we intend to enter into in connection with the notes as compared to an otherwise comparable index without these features. These features will reduce the performance of the Index as compared to an otherwise comparable index without these features. The reduced and/or offset cost of hedging may make it possible for certain terms of the notes to be more favorable to you than would otherwise be the case. However, there can be no assurance that these more favorable terms will offset the negative effects of these features on the performance of the Index, and your return on the notes may ultimately be less favorable than it would have been without these more favorable terms but with an index that does not contain these features.

This section contains only a summary description of the Index and does not describe all of its important features in detail. Before investing in the notes, you should carefully review the more detailed description of the Index in the accompanying Index Supplement.

Hypothetical Payment Upon Automatic Early Redemption

The following table illustrates how the amount payable per note upon automatic early redemption will be calculated if the closing value of the underlying on any valuation date prior to the final valuation date is greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to that valuation date. The table assumes that the premium applicable to each valuation date prior to the final valuation date will be set at the lowest value set forth under "Key Terms" above. The actual premium applicable to each valuation date prior to the final valuation date will be determined on the pricing date.

If the closing value of the underlying on the following valuation date... ...is greater than or equal to the following premium threshold value... ...then you will receive the following payment per note upon automatic early redemption:
October 28, 2026 125.00% of the initial underlying value $1,000.00 + applicable premium = $1,000.00 + $85.00 = $1,085.00
October 28, 2027 120.00% of the initial underlying value $1,000.00 + applicable premium = $1,000.00 + $170.00 = $1,170.00
October 30, 2028 115.00% of the initial underlying value $1,000.00 + applicable premium = $1,000.00 + $255.00 = $1,255.00
October 29, 2029 110.00% of the initial underlying value $1,000.00 + applicable premium = $1,000.00 + $340.00 = $1,340.00

If, on any valuation date prior to the final valuation date, the closing value of the underlying is less than the applicable premium threshold value, you will not receive the premium indicated above following that valuation date. In order to receive the premium indicated above, the closing value of the underlying on the applicable valuation date must be greater than or equal to the applicable premium threshold value.

Hypothetical Examples of the Payment at Maturity

The examples below are intended to illustrate how, if the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, your payment at maturity will depend on the final underlying value. Your actual payment at maturity per note, if the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, will depend on the actual final underlying value. The examples are solely for illustrative purposes, do not show all possible outcomes and are not a prediction of any payment that may be made on the notes.

The examples below are based on the following hypothetical values and do not reflect the actual initial underlying value or premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date. For the actual initial underlying value and premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date, see the cover page of this pricing supplement. We have used these hypothetical values, rather than the actual values, to simplify the calculations and aid understanding of how the notes work. However, you should understand that the actual payment at maturity on the notes will be calculated based on the actual initial underlying value and premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date, and not the hypothetical values indicated below. For ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded. The examples below assume that the premium applicable to the final valuation date will be set at the lowest value set forth under "Key Terms" above. The actual premium applicable to the final valuation date will be determined on the pricing date.

Hypothetical initial underlying value: 100.00
Hypothetical premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date: 105.00 (105.00% of the hypothetical initial underlying value)

Example 1-Upside Scenario. The final underlying value is 110.00 (a 10% increase from the initial underlying value). In this example, the final underlying value is greater than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date.

Payment at maturity per note = $1,000 + the premium applicable to the final valuation date

= $1,000 + $425

= $1,425

In this scenario, because the final underlying value is greater than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date, you would be repaid the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity plus the premium applicable to the final valuation date.

Example 2-Par Scenario A. The final underlying value is 101.00 (a 1% increase from the initial underlying value), which is less than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date.

Payment at maturity per note = $1,000

In this scenario, the underlying has appreciated from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value but the final underlying value is less than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date. As a result, you would be repaid the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity but would not receive any positive return on your investment.

Example 3-Par Scenario B. The final underlying value is 90.00 (a 10% decrease from the initial underlying value). In this example, the final underlying value is less than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date.

Payment at maturity per note = $1,000

In this scenario, because the underlying has depreciated from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value and the final underlying value is less than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date, you would be repaid the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity but you would not receive any positive return on your investment.

Summary Risk Factors

An investment in the notes is significantly riskier than an investment in conventional debt securities. The notes are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in our conventional debt securities (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.), including the risk that we and Citigroup Inc. may default on our obligations under the notes, and are also subject to risks associated with the underlying. Accordingly, the notes are suitable only for investors who are capable of understanding the complexities and risks of the notes. You should consult your own financial, tax and legal advisors as to the risks of an investment in the notes and the suitability of the notes in light of your particular circumstances.

The following is a summary of certain key risk factors for investors in the notes. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of risks relating to an investment in the notes contained in the section "Risk Factors Relating to the Notes" beginning on page EA-6 in the accompanying product supplement. You should also carefully read the risk factors included in the accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, including Citigroup Inc.'s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which describe risks relating to the business of Citigroup Inc. more generally.

Citigroup Inc. will release quarterly earnings on October 14, 2025, which is during the marketing period and prior to the pricing date of these notes.

Risks relating to the notes

§ You may not receive any return on your investment in the notes. If, on each valuation date prior to the final valuation date, the closing value of the underlying is not greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to that valuation date, then the notes will not be automatically redeemed at a premium. In that event, you will receive a positive return on your investment in the notes only if the final underlying value is greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date. If the final underlying value is less than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date, you will receive only the stated principal amount of $1,000 for each note you hold at maturity. As the notes do not pay any interest, even if the underlying appreciates from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, there is no assurance that your total return at maturity on the notes will be as great as could have been achieved on conventional debt securities of ours of comparable maturity.
§ The notes do not pay interest. Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not pay interest prior to maturity. You should not invest in the notes if you seek current income during the term of the notes.
§ The premium threshold value is greater than the initial underlying value. You will receive a premium only if the closing value of the underlying on the applicable valuation date is greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to that valuation date. Even if the closing value of the underlying increases over the term of the notes, it may not increase sufficiently for the notes to be automatically redeemed. Additionally, if the final underlying value is greater than the initial underlying value but less than the premium threshold value applicable to the final valuation date, you will receive no positive return on the notes and the notes will underperform an alternative investment providing 1-to-1 exposure to the performance of the underlying on the final valuation date.
§ Your potential return on the notes is limited. Your potential return on the notes is limited to the applicable premium payable upon automatic early redemption or at maturity, as described on the cover page of this pricing supplement. If the closing value of the underlying on one of the valuation dates is greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to that valuation date, you will be repaid the stated principal amount of your notes and will receive the fixed premium applicable to that valuation date, regardless of how significantly the closing value of the underlying on that valuation date may exceed the initial underlying value. Accordingly, any premium may result in a return on the notes that is significantly less than the return you could have achieved on a direct investment in the underlying.
§ The notes may be automatically redeemed prior to maturity, limiting the term of the notes. If the closing value of the underlying on any valuation date prior to the final valuation date is greater than or equal to the premium threshold value applicable to that valuation date, the notes will be automatically redeemed. If the notes are automatically redeemed following any valuation date prior to the final valuation date, they will cease to be outstanding and you will not receive the premium applicable to any later valuation date. Moreover, you may not be able to reinvest your funds in another investment that provides a similar yield with a similar level of risk.
§ Although the notes provide for the repayment of the stated principal amount at maturity, you may nevertheless suffer a loss on your investment in real value terms. This is because inflation may cause the real value of the stated principal amount to be less at maturity than it is at the time you invest, and because an investment in the notes represents a forgone opportunity to invest in an alternative asset that does generate a positive real return. This potential loss in real value terms is significant given the term of the notes. You should carefully consider whether an investment that may not provide for any return on your investment, or may provide a return that is lower than the return on alternative investments, is appropriate for you.
§ The performance of the notes will depend on the closing values of the underlying solely on the valuation dates, which makes the notes particularly sensitive to volatility in the closing values of the underlying on or near the valuation dates. Whether the notes will be automatically redeemed prior to maturity will depend on the closing values of the underlying solely on the valuation dates (other than the final valuation date), regardless of the closing values of the underlying on other days during
PS-10
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.

the term of the notes. If the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, what you receive at maturity will depend solely on the closing value of the underlying on the final valuation date, and not on any other day during the term of the notes. Because the performance of the notes depends on the closing values of the underlying on a limited number of dates, the notes will be particularly sensitive to volatility in the closing values of the underlying on or near the valuation dates. You should understand that the closing value of the underlying has historically been highly volatile.

§ The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If we default on our obligations under the notes and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive anything owed to you under the notes.
§ The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. CGMI currently intends to make a secondary market in relation to the notes and to provide an indicative bid price for the notes on a daily basis. Any indicative bid price for the notes provided by CGMI will be determined in CGMI's sole discretion, taking into account prevailing market conditions and other relevant factors, and will not be a representation by CGMI that the notes can be sold at that price, or at all. CGMI may suspend or terminate making a market and providing indicative bid prices without notice, at any time and for any reason. If CGMI suspends or terminates making a market, there may be no secondary market at all for the notes because it is likely that CGMI will be the only broker-dealer that is willing to buy your notes prior to maturity. Accordingly, an investor must be prepared to hold the notes until maturity.
§ Sale of the notes prior to maturity may result in a loss of principal. You will be entitled to receive at least the full stated principal amount of your notes, subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc., only if you hold the notes to maturity. The value of the notes may fluctuate during the term of the notes, and if you are able to sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the full stated principal amount of your notes.
§ The estimated value of the notes on the pricing date, based on CGMI's proprietary pricing models and our internal funding rate, is less than the issue price. The difference is attributable to certain costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes that are included in the issue price. These costs include (i) any selling concessions or other fees paid in connection with the offering of the notes, (ii) hedging and other costs incurred by us and our affiliates in connection with the offering of the notes and (iii) the expected profit (which may be more or less than actual profit) to CGMI or other of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes. These costs adversely affect the economic terms of the notes because, if they were lower, the economic terms of the notes would be more favorable to you. The economic terms of the notes are also likely to be adversely affected by the use of our internal funding rate, rather than our secondary market rate, to price the notes. See "The estimated value of the notes would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary market rate" below.
§ The estimated value of the notes was determined for us by our affiliate using proprietary pricing models. CGMI derived the estimated value disclosed on the cover page of this pricing supplement from its proprietary pricing models. In doing so, it may have made discretionary judgments about the inputs to its models, such as the volatility of the closing value of the underlying, the dividend yield on the assets underlying the futures contracts included in the underlying and interest rates. CGMI's views on these inputs may differ from your or others' views, and as an underwriter in this offering, CGMI's interests may conflict with yours. Both the models and the inputs to the models may prove to be wrong and therefore not an accurate reflection of the value of the notes. Moreover, the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement may differ from the value that we or our affiliates may determine for the notes for other purposes, including for accounting purposes. You should not invest in the notes because of the estimated value of the notes. Instead, you should be willing to hold the notes to maturity irrespective of the initial estimated value.
§ The estimated value of the notes would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary market rate. The estimated value of the notes included in this pricing supplement is calculated based on our internal funding rate, which is the rate at which we are willing to borrow funds through the issuance of the notes. Our internal funding rate is generally lower than our secondary market rate, which is the rate that CGMI will use in determining the value of the notes for purposes of any purchases of the notes from you in the secondary market. If the estimated value included in this pricing supplement were based on our secondary market rate, rather than our internal funding rate, it would likely be lower. We determine our internal funding rate based on factors such as the costs associated with the notes, which are generally higher than the costs associated with conventional debt securities, and our liquidity needs and preferences. Our internal funding rate is not an interest rate that we will pay to investors in the notes, which do not bear interest.

Because there is not an active market for traded instruments referencing our outstanding debt obligations, CGMI determines our secondary market rate based on the market price of traded instruments referencing the debt obligations of Citigroup Inc., our parent company and the guarantor of all payments due on the notes, but subject to adjustments that CGMI makes in its sole discretion. As a result, our secondary market rate is not a market-determined measure of our creditworthiness, but rather reflects the market's perception of our parent company's creditworthiness as adjusted for discretionary factors such as CGMI's preferences with respect to purchasing the notes prior to maturity.

§ The estimated value of the notes is not an indication of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the notes from you in the secondary market. Any such secondary market price will fluctuate over the term of the notes based on the market and other factors described in the next risk factor. Moreover, unlike the estimated value included
PS-11
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.

in this pricing supplement, any value of the notes determined for purposes of a secondary market transaction will be based on our secondary market rate, which will likely result in a lower value for the notes than if our internal funding rate were used. In addition, any secondary market price for the notes will be reduced by a bid-ask spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate stated principal amount of the notes to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding related hedging transactions. As a result, it is likely that any secondary market price for the notes will be less than the issue price.

§ The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors. The value of your notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on the closing value of the underlying, the volatility of the closing value of the underlying, dividend yield on the assets underlying the futures contracts included in the underlying, interest rates generally, the time remaining to maturity and our and Citigroup Inc.'s creditworthiness, as reflected in our secondary market rate, among other factors described under "Risk Factors Relating to the Notes-Risk Factors Relating to All Notes-The value of your notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors" in the accompanying product supplement. Changes in the closing value of the underlying may not result in a comparable change in the value of your notes. You should understand that the value of your notes at any time prior to maturity may be significantly less than the issue price.
§ Immediately following issuance, any secondary market bid price provided by CGMI, and the value that will be indicated on any brokerage account statements prepared by CGMI or its affiliates, will reflect a temporary upward adjustment. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will steadily decline to zero over the temporary adjustment period. See "Valuation of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
§ Our offering of the notes is not a recommendation of the underlying. The fact that we are offering the notes does not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument linked to the underlying is likely to achieve favorable returns. In fact, as we are part of a global financial institution, our affiliates may have positions (including short positions) in the underlying or in instruments related to the underlying, and may publish research or express opinions, that in each case are inconsistent with an investment linked to the underlying. These and other activities of our affiliates may affect the closing value of the underlying in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the notes.
§ The closing value of the underlying may be adversely affected by our or our affiliates' hedging and other trading activities. We expect to hedge our obligations under the notes through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who may take positions in the underlying or in financial instruments related to the underlying and may adjust such positions during the term of the notes. Our affiliates also take positions in the underlying or in financial instruments related to the underlying on a regular basis (taking long or short positions or both), for their accounts, for other accounts under their management or to facilitate transactions on behalf of customers. These activities could affect the closing value of the underlying in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the notes. They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines.
§ We and our affiliates may have economic interests that are adverse to yours as a result of our affiliates' business activities. Our affiliates engage in business activities with a wide range of companies. These activities include extending loans, making and facilitating investments, underwriting securities offerings and providing advisory services. These activities could involve or affect the underlying in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the notes. They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. In addition, in the course of this business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information, which will not be disclosed to you.
§ The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the notes. If certain events occur during the term of the notes, such as market disruption events and other events with respect to the underlying, CGMI, as calculation agent, will be required to make discretionary judgments that could significantly affect your return on the notes. In making these judgments, the calculation agent's interests as an affiliate of ours could be adverse to your interests as a holder of the notes. See "Risk Factors Relating to the Notes-Risk Factors Relating to All Notes-The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the notes" in the accompanying product supplement.

Risks relating to the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER

The following is a description of risks relating to the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER, which we refer to in this section as the "Index". The following discussion of risks should be read together with the section "Description of the S&P 500 Futures Intraday Edge Volatility Indices" in the accompanying index supplement, which defines and further describes a number of the terms and concepts referred to below.

§ The Index is highly risky because it may reflect highly leveraged exposure to the Underlying Futures Index and may therefore experience a decline that is many multiples of any decline in the Underlying Futures Index. The Index tracks exposure to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index (which we refer to as the "Underlying Futures Index") on a volatility-targeted, trend-adjusted basis, less certain notional costs and less a decrement of 6% per annum. The Index has a volatility target of 35%, which it attempts to achieve by applying leverage to its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index (up to a maximum of 500%) when the underlying volatility is less than the volatility target, and by reducing its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index below 100% when the underlying volatility is greater than the volatility target. It is expected that the underlying volatility will frequently be less than the volatility target, and therefore it is expected that the Index will frequently have leveraged
PS-12
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.

(more than 100%) exposure to the Underlying Futures Index. If the Underlying Futures Index declines at a time when the Index has leveraged exposure to it, the decline in the Index will be equal to the decline in the Underlying Futures Index multiplied by the leveraged exposure (subject to further reduction as a result of the notional costs and the decrement). For example, if the Underlying Futures Index declines by 5% at a time when the Index has 500% leveraged exposure to the Underlying Futures Index, the Index will decline by 25% over that time (subject to further reduction as a result of the notional costs and the decrement). This potential for losses on a highly leveraged basis makes the Index highly risky.

§ The Index may realize significant losses if it is not consistently successful in increasing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of increases in the Underlying Futures Index and reducing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of declines. The Index methodology is premised on the following key assumptions: (1) that there will be an inverse relationship between performance and volatility, so that the Underlying Futures Index will tend to increase in times of lower volatility and decline in times of higher volatility; (2) that short-term intraday trends in the value of the Underlying Futures Index will tend to continue; (3) that the Index rules can effectively identify when conditions are favorable for an overnight mean-reversion in the Underlying Futures Index and effectively adjust its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index up or down in response; (4) that the measures of underlying volatility used by the Index will be effective predictors of future volatility of the Underlying Futures Index from one intraday window to the next; and (5) that 35% will be an effective level of volatility at which to draw the line between leveraged exposure and deleveraged exposure to the Underlying Futures Index. There is no guarantee that these assumptions will be proven correct over any given time period. If any of these assumptions does not prove to be consistently correct, then the Index may perform poorly as a result of having highly leveraged exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of declines and/or having reduced exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of increases.
§ A significant portion of the Index may be hypothetically uninvested, dampening returns. If at any time the realized volatility of the Interim Index over the preceding 40 index business days exceeds the Index's volatility target, the Index will have less than 100% exposure to the Interim Index, and the difference will be hypothetically uninvested. As a result, even at a time when the Interim Index reflects significantly more than 100% exposure to the Underlying Futures Index, the Index may reflect significantly less than 100% exposure to the Interim Index, lessening the impact on the Index of the leveraged exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index. Moreover, at any time when the underlying volatility is greater than the volatility target, the volatility-targeted exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index will be less than 100%. Even at a time when the volatility-targeted exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index would be greater than 100%, the actual exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index may be reduced below 100% by the intraday trend and/or overnight mean-reversion trend adjustments. Taken together, these mechanisms may result in the Index participating in less than 100% of the performance of the Underlying Futures Index, with the difference deemed to be hypothetically uninvested. No interest or other return will accrue on any portion of the Index (including the Interim Index) that is hypothetically uninvested, which will dampen Index returns, but the decrement will be deducted in an amount calculated on the full Index value. If at any time the Index has less than 100% effective exposure to the Underlying Futures Index, the Index will not fully participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Futures Index. For example, if the Index has 50% exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time when the Underlying Futures Index appreciates by 5%, the Index would appreciate by only 2.5% (before giving effect to the notional costs and the decrement).
§ The Index may significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index. It is important to understand that the Index provides exposure to the S&P 500® Index that: (1) may be leveraged up to 500%, or alternatively may reflect less than 100% participation; (2) is reduced by an implicit financing cost; (3) may be subject to a decay effect; (4) is reduced by notional costs; and (5) is reduced by a decrement of 6% per annum. As a result of these features, the Index may significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index. The Index is likely to significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index if it is not consistently successful in increasing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of increases in the Underlying Futures Index and reducing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of declines in the Underlying Futures Index. The Index may significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index even if it is consistently successful in these respects because of the implicit financing cost, the notional costs and the decrement, or because the reduced exposure the Index has to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of a decline may nevertheless reflect significantly greater than 100% participation in the decline of the Underlying Futures Index.
§ The Index may experience significantly greater volatility than its volatility target. The Index seeks to implement its volatility target in two steps. First, the Interim Index determines a volatility-targeted exposure to the Underlying Futures Index for each intraday window in a manner that seeks to align the volatility of the Interim Index with the volatility target. Second, the Index adjusts its exposure to the Interim Index daily pursuant to an end-of-day volatility target adjustment. Despite these steps, the Index may experience significantly greater volatility than its volatility target for a number of reasons. The Interim Index determines its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index based not only on the volatility-targeted exposure, but also on intraday trend and overnight mean-reversion trend inputs. Those inputs may result in the exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index being increased to a level that is significantly higher than the volatility-targeted exposure, and the Interim Index may experience significantly more volatility than the volatility target as a result. Moreover, although the end-of-day volatility target adjustment is intended to reduce the exposure of the Index to the Interim Index to counteract this, the end-of-day volatility target adjustment is based on the realized volatility of the Interim Index over a look-back period of 40 index business days. If there is a significant increase in the volatility of the Interim Index, it may be a significant period of time before that increased volatility is meaningfully reflected in the 40-day lookback period. If the Index experiences significantly great volatility than its
PS-13

volatility target, it may be riskier than expected and may experience a significantly greater decline than it would have if it had maintained its volatility target.

§ The Index's intraday trend-following mechanism may not be effective. The Index incorporates a trend-following mechanism, in which it will scale the volatility-targeted exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index up or down depending on a measure of the intraday trend of the Underlying Futures Index. Trend-following methodologies such as the one followed by the Index are premised on the notion that equity markets exhibit momentum, whereby recent performance is predictive of future performance. Trend-following methodologies perform poorly, however, when this turns out not to be the case. There can be no guarantee that recent performance will be predictive of future performance. Trend-following methodologies perform particularly poorly in choppy markets, where they can be subject to whipsaws - increasing exposure following a recent increase and just in time to participate on a higher-exposure basis in a decline that follows the increase, at which point they decrease exposure following the decline and just when the underlying market begins to increase again. Moreover, even if the Underlying Futures Index does exhibit trend-following behavior, there can be no assurance that the particular methodology followed by the Index will effectively identify the trend or capitalize on it. If the Underlying Futures Index does not exhibit momentum, or if the Index's intraday trend-following methodology is not effective in identifying trends and capitalizing on them, the Index's trend-following mechanism may result in scaling up the exposure to the Underlying Futures Index ahead of declines, and scaling down exposure ahead of increases, which would result in poor performance.
§ The Index's overnight mean-reversion mechanism may not be effective. The Index incorporates an overnight mean-reversion mechanism, in which it will adjust the trend-adjusted, volatility-targeted exposure to the Underlying Futures Index upward at the fourth intraday window at any time when it determines that conditions are favorable for a positive overnight mean-reversion, and will adjust that exposure downward at any time when it determines that conditions are favorable for a negative overnight mean-reversion. The Index's overnight mean-reversion mechanism is premised on the assumption that equity markets may at times exhibit a tendency to revert to a longer term mean (on an overnight basis) after a short-term dip, and the Index seeks to capitalize on that tendency by identifying a time when a short-term dip has occurred and when the equity markets are due for a positive mean-reversion and increasing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index accordingly at the fourth intraday window. There can be no assurance, however, that the Underlying Futures Index will exhibit mean-reversion behavior when the Index expects it to do so, or at all. Even if the Underlying Futures Index does exhibit mean-reversion behavior, the particular methodology of the Index may fail to accurately identify when it will do so or may fail to capitalize on that. If the Underlying Futures Index does not exhibit mean-reversion behavior when the Index expects it to do so, the Index may increase its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in a falling market that may continue to fall long after the Index has increased exposure, worsening Index returns as a result. Conversely, if the Underlying Futures Index does exhibit mean-reversion behavior when the Index does not expect it to, the Index will have reduced its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time when the Underlying Futures Index has rebounded from the short-term dip, which will cause Index performance to be less favorable than it would have been if it had not tried to time the mean-reversion.
§ The Index may perform poorly in temporary market downturns. There is a time lag inherent in the Index's volatility targeting mechanisms. Unless the VIX signal is 1, the Interim Index will determine its volatility-targeted exposure to the Underlying Futures Index based on a backward-looking measure of realized volatility of the Underlying Futures Index. Similarly, the Index will apply its end-of-day volatility target adjustment to its exposure to the Interim Index based on a backward-looking measure of realized volatility of the Interim Index. If there is a sudden spike in volatility and a corresponding sharp decline in the Underlying Futures Index, the Index may have a relatively high degree of exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at the time of the decline and may therefore have a high degree of exposure to that decline. The Index may subsequently reduce its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index once the increased volatility has been sufficiently reflected in the Index's realized volatility measures, but by then the Underlying Futures Index may have already stopped its decline and started to recover. Given the time lag, the Index may not increase its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index until well after the recovery has already taken place. Taken together, these factors may cause the Index to perform particularly poorly in a temporary market downturn - a sudden significant decline that is quickly reversed. In that scenario, the Index would participate on a highly leveraged basis in the decline and then fail to participate fully in the recovery.
§ The Index may be adversely affected by a "decay" effect. If the Index is not consistently successful in increasing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of increases in the Underlying Futures Index and reducing exposure to the Underlying Futures Index in advance of declines in the Underlying Futures Index, then the Index is also expected to be subject to a "decay" effect, which will exacerbate the decline that results from having highly leveraged exposure to declines in the Underlying Futures Index. The decay effect would result from the fact that the Index resets its exposure to the Underlying Futures Index multiple times each index business day, and would manifest any time the Underlying Futures Index moves in one direction from one intraday window to the next and another direction from that subsequent intraday window to the next after that. The decay effect would result because resetting exposure after an increase but in advance of a decline would cause the Index to have increased exposure to that decline, and resetting exposure following a decline but in advance of an increase would cause the Index to have decreased exposure to that increase. The more this fact pattern repeats, the lower the performance of the Index would be relative to the performance of the Underlying Futures Index.
§ The Underlying Futures Index is expected to underperform the S&P 500® Index because of an implicit financing cost. The Underlying Futures Index is a futures-based index. As a futures-based index, it is expected to reflect not only the performance of its reference index (the S&P 500® Index), but also the implicit cost of a financed position in that reference index.
PS-14
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.

The cost of this financed position will adversely affect the value of the Underlying Futures Index. Any increase in market interest rates will be expected to further increase this implicit financing cost and will increase the negative effect on the performance of the Underlying Futures Index. Because of this implicit financing cost, the Underlying Futures Index is expected to underperform the total return performance of the S&P 500® Index.

§ The performance of the Index will be reduced by notional costs and by a decrement of 6% per annum. Two types of notional costs are deducted from the performance of the Index. Notional transaction costs are deducted each time there is a change in the exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index or in the exposure of the Index to the Interim Index. Changes in the exposure may occur as often as five times a day - during each of the four intraday windows, and again pursuant to the end-of-day volatility target adjustment. The more frequent the changes in exposure and the larger the changes are in size, the greater the amount of the notional transaction costs. In addition to the notional transaction costs, notional replication costs are deducted on a daily basis from the level of the Interim Index. The greater the exposure of the Interim Index to the Underlying Futures Index, the greater the size of the notional replication costs. Moreover, the performance of the Index will be reduced by a decrement of 6% per annum, which will be calculated on the full value of the Index, including any portion that is hypothetically uninvested. The notional costs and the decrement will be a significant drag on the performance of the Index, potentially offsetting positive returns that would otherwise result from the Index methodology, exacerbating negative returns of the Index methodology and causing the level of the Index to decline steadily if the return of the Index methodology would otherwise be relatively flat. The Index will not appreciate unless the return of the Index methodology is sufficient to offset the negative effects of the notional costs and the decrement, and then only to the extent that the return of the Index methodology is greater than the notional costs and the decrement. As a result of the notional costs and the decrement, the level of the Index may decline even if the return of the Index methodology would otherwise have been positive.
§ The manner in which the Index measures underlying volatility may not be effective. The Index will measure the underlying volatility on a given index business day based on implied volatility if the VIX signal on the preceding index business day was 1, and based on realized volatility if the VIX signal on the preceding index business day was 0. The VIX signal will be 1 when the level of the Cboe Volatility Index (the "VIX") has exceeded its 200-day moving average for more than 6 consecutive index business days, and will be 0 when the level of the VIX has been less than or equal to its 200-day moving average for more than 3 consecutive index business days (and otherwise will be the same as on the preceding index business day). The VIX is a measure of implied volatility of large-cap U.S. stocks over the next 30 days, calculated based on the prices of certain put and call options on the S&P 500® Index. As a result, the Index is designed to use the forward-looking implied volatility measurement at a time when implied volatility (as reflected in the VIX) is relatively elevated, and to use the backward-looking realized volatility measurement at a time of relatively lower implied volatility.
§ This approach to determining the underlying volatility is premised on the notion that forward-looking implied volatility tends to be higher than backward-looking realized volatility because of a risk premium embedded in the options used to calculate forward-looking implied volatility. Therefore, the use of forward-looking implied volatility at a time of relatively elevated implied volatility (as reflected in the VIX) is intended to use the volatility measure that is expected to be the higher of the two, with the result that the exposure to the Underlying Futures Index will be lower than if the other measure were used at a time of relatively elevated implied volatility. This is premised on the assumption that there is an inverse relationship between performance and volatility, so that the Index will benefit from reduced exposure to the Underlying Futures Index at a time of higher volatility. As described elsewhere, however, there can be no assurance that this relationship will hold over any particular time period, and the Index might have performed better if it did not adjust its measure of underlying volatility in this manner.
§ The Index has limited actual performance information. The Index launched on August 14, 2025. Accordingly, the Index has limited actual performance data. Because the Index is of recent origin with limited performance history, an investment linked to the Index may involve a greater risk than an investment linked to one or more indices with an established record of performance. A longer history of actual performance may have provided more reliable information on which to assess the validity of the Index's methodology. However, any historical performance of the Index is not an indication of how the Index will perform in the future.
§ Hypothetical back-tested Index performance information is subject to significant limitations. All information regarding the performance of the Index prior to August 14, 2025 is hypothetical and back-tested, as the Index did not exist prior to that time. It is important to understand that hypothetical back-tested Index performance information is subject to significant limitations, in addition to the fact that past performance is never a guarantee of future performance. In particular:
o The sponsor of the Index developed the rules of the Index with the benefit of hindsight-that is, with the benefit of being able to evaluate how the Index rules would have caused the Index to perform had it existed during the hypothetical back-tested period. The fact that the Index generally appreciated over any portion of the hypothetical back-tested period may not therefore be an accurate or reliable indication of any fundamental aspect of the Index methodology.
o The hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index might look different if it covered a different historical period. The market conditions that existed during the historical period covered by the hypothetical back-tested Index performance information are not necessarily representative of the market conditions that will exist in the future.
o SPXW options were not published as frequently prior to May 11, 2022 as they are now, and as a result the calculation of the hypothetical back-tested values of the Index prior to that date differs from the calculation of the Index today. The hypothetical
PS-15

back-tested performance of the Index prior to May 11, 2022 may therefore differ from how the Index would have performed if SPXW options had been available with expirations on every weekday, as they are now.

o It is impossible to predict whether the Index will rise or fall. The actual future performance of the Index may bear no relation to the historical or hypothetical back-tested levels of the Index.
§ An affiliate of ours participated in the development of the Index. CGMI worked with the sponsor of the Index in developing the guidelines and policies governing the composition and calculation of the Index, and in that role made judgments and determinations about the Index methodology. Although CGMI no longer has a role in making any judgments and determinations relating to the Index, the judgments and determinations previously made by CGMI could continue to have an impact, positive or negative, on the level of the Index and the value of your notes. CGMI was under no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes in its role in developing the guidelines and policies governing the Index.
§ Changes that affect the Index may affect the value of your notes. The sponsor of the Index may at any time make methodological changes or other changes in the manner in which it operates that could affect the value of the Index. We are not affiliated with the Index sponsor and, accordingly, we have no control over any changes such sponsor may make. Such changes could adversely affect the performance of the Index and the value of and your return on the notes.

Market disruption events. For purposes of determining whether a market disruption event occurs with respect to the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER, each reference to the "Underlying Index" in the section "Description of the Notes-Certain Additional Terms for Notes Linked to an Underlying Index-Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Valuation Date" in the accompanying product supplement in the definition of Market Disruption Event (and defined terms used in the definition of Market Disruption Event) shall be deemed replaced with a reference to the "Underlying Index, the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index or the S&P 500® Index". References in the section "Description of the Notes-Certain Additional Terms for Notes Linked to an Underlying Index-Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Valuation Date" in the accompanying product supplement to the securities comprising an Underlying Index (or any other index) shall be deemed to include futures contracts comprising an Underlying Index (or any other index), and each reference to "at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Closing Time" shall be deemed to be replaced by a reference to "at any time during the trading day".

Hypothetical Back-Tested and Historical Performance Information

This section contains hypothetical back-tested performance information for the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. All S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER performance information prior to August 14, 2025 is hypothetical and back-tested, as the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER did not exist prior to that date. Hypothetical back-tested performance information is subject to significant limitations. The sponsor of the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER developed the rules of the index with the benefit of hindsight-that is, with the benefit of being able to evaluate how the rules would have caused the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER to perform had it existed during the hypothetical back-tested period. The fact that the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER appreciated at any time during the hypothetical back-tested period may not therefore be an accurate or reliable indication of any fundamental aspect of the index methodology. Furthermore, the hypothetical back-tested performance of the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER might look different if it covered a different historical period. The market conditions that existed during the hypothetical back-tested period may not be representative of market conditions that will exist in the future.

In addition, the SPXW options used by the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER to determine the implied volatility of the S&P 500® Index have traded with expirations on every weekday only since May 11, 2022. When SPXW options were first launched in 2005, only Friday expirations were available. Wednesday expirations were added on February 23, 2016; Monday expirations were added on August 15, 2016; Tuesday expirations were added on April 18, 2022; and Thursday expirations were added on May 11, 2022. For purposes of calculating the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index, the implied volatility for the one-week period ending on a weekday for which no SPXW option was then traded was calculated by interpolating between the SPXW options expiring immediately before and immediately after that weekday. For these reasons, the hypothetical back-tested performance of the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER prior to May 11, 2022 may differ from how the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER would have performed if SPXW options had been available with expirations on every weekday, as they are now.

It is impossible to predict whether the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER will rise or fall. By providing the hypothetical back-tested and historical performance information below, we are not representing that the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER is likely to achieve gains or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular investment. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance information is that it did not involve financial risk and cannot account for all factors that would affect actual performance. The actual future performance of the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER may bear no relation to its hypothetical back-tested or historical performance.

Comparison of Hypothetical Back-Tested and Historical S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER Performance Against Historical S&P 500® Index Performance

The following graphs set forth a comparison of the hypothetical back-tested and historical performance of the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER against the historical performance of the S&P 500® Index. The first graph shows comparative performance data for the period from January 2, 2015 through September 24, 2025, each normalized to have a closing value of 100.00 on January 2, 2015 to facilitate a comparison. The second graph shows comparative performance data for the period from January 3, 2022 through September 24, 2025, each normalized to have a closing value of 100.00 on January 3, 2022 to facilitate a comparison. The performance of the S&P 500® Index shown below is its price return performance - i.e., its performance without reflecting dividends. The total return performance of the S&P 500® Index (i.e., its performance reflecting dividends) would be greater than the price return performance shown below.

All S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER performance information prior to August 14, 2025 is hypothetical and back-tested, as the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER did not exist prior to that date. Hypothetical back-tested performance information is subject to the significant limitations described above under "Information About the S&P 500 Futures 35% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER".

United States Federal Tax Considerations

In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, which is based on current market conditions, the notes should be treated as "contingent payment debt instruments" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of the accompanying product supplement called "United States Federal Tax Considerations-Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders-Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments," and the remaining discussion is based on this treatment.

If you are a U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement), you will be required to recognize interest income during the term of the notes at the "comparable yield," which generally is the yield at which we could issue a fixed-rate debt instrument with terms similar to those of the notes, including the level of subordination, term, timing of payments and general market conditions, but excluding any adjustments for the riskiness of the contingencies or the liquidity of the notes. Although it is not clear how the comparable yield should be determined for notes that may be automatically redeemed before maturity, our determination of the comparable yield is based on the maturity date. We are required to construct a "projected payment schedule" in respect of the notes representing a payment the amount and timing of which would produce a yield to maturity on the notes equal to the comparable yield. Assuming you hold the notes until their maturity, the amount of interest you include in income based on the comparable yield in the taxable year in which the notes mature will be adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected payment on the notes at maturity as determined under the projected payment schedule.

Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of the notes prior to maturity, you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds received and your adjusted tax basis in the notes. Your adjusted tax basis will equal your purchase price for the notes, increased by interest previously included in income on the notes. Any gain generally will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss generally will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of prior interest inclusions on the note and as capital loss thereafter.

We have determined that the comparable yield for a note is a rate of %, compounded semi-annually, and that the projected payment schedule with respect to a note consists of a single payment of $ at maturity.

Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual amount that we will pay on the notes.

Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to the discussions below regarding Section 871(m) and in "United States Federal Tax Considerations-Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" and "-FATCA" in the accompanying product supplement, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the notes, under current law you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any payment on or any amount received on the sale, exchange or retirement of the notes, provided that (i) income in respect of the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements. See "United States Federal Tax Considerations-Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" in the accompanying product supplement for a more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to Non-U.S. Holders of the notes.

As discussed under "United States Federal Tax Considerations-Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders-Dividend Equivalents Under Section 871(m) of the Code" in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ("Section 871(m)") generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities ("Underlying Securities") or indices that include Underlying Securities. Section 871(m) generally applies to instruments that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. However, the regulations, as modified by an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a "delta" of one. Based on the terms of the notes and representations provided by us as of the date of this preliminary pricing supplement, our counsel is of the opinion that the notes should not be treated as transactions that have a "delta" of one within the meaning of the regulations with respect to any Underlying Security and, therefore, should not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m). However, the final determination regarding the treatment of the notes under Section 871(m) will be made as of the pricing date for the notes, and it is possible that the notes will be subject to withholding under Section 871(m) based on the circumstances as of that date.

A determination that the notes are not subject to Section 871(m) is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this treatment. Moreover, Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including your other transactions. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.

If withholding tax applies to the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.

You should read the section entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement. The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the notes.

You should also consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and the underwriter of the sale of the notes, is acting as principal and will receive an underwriting fee of up to $45.00 for each note sold in this offering. The actual underwriting fee will be equal to the selling concession provided to selected dealers, as described in this paragraph. From this underwriting fee, CGMI will pay selected dealers not affiliated with CGMI a variable selling concession of up to $45.00 for each note they sell. For the avoidance of doubt, any fees or selling concessions described in this pricing supplement will not be rebated if the notes are automatically redeemed prior to maturity.

See "Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest" in the accompanying product supplement and "Plan of Distribution" in each of the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for additional information.

Valuation of the Notes

CGMI calculated the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on proprietary pricing models. CGMI's proprietary pricing models generated an estimated value for the notes by estimating the value of a hypothetical package of financial instruments that would replicate the payout on the notes, which consists of a fixed-income bond (the "bond component") and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the notes (the "derivative component"). CGMI calculated the estimated value of the bond component using a discount rate based on our internal funding rate. CGMI calculated the estimated value of the derivative component based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model, which generated a theoretical price for the instruments that constitute the derivative component based on various inputs, including the factors described under "Summary Risk Factors-The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors" in this pricing supplement, but not including our or Citigroup Inc.'s creditworthiness. These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by CGMI in its discretionary judgment.

The estimated value of the notes is a function of the terms of the notes and the inputs to CGMI's proprietary pricing models. As of the date of this preliminary pricing supplement, it is uncertain what the estimated value of the notes will be on the pricing date because certain terms of the notes have not yet been fixed and because it is uncertain what the values of the inputs to CGMI's proprietary pricing models will be on the pricing date.

For a period of approximately four months following issuance of the notes, the price, if any, at which CGMI would be willing to buy the notes from investors, and the value that will be indicated for the notes on any brokerage account statements prepared by CGMI or its affiliates (which value CGMI may also publish through one or more financial information vendors), will reflect a temporary upward adjustment from the price or value that would otherwise be determined. This temporary upward adjustment represents a portion of the hedging profit expected to be realized by CGMI or its affiliates over the term of the notes. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero on a straight-line basis over the four-month temporary adjustment period. However, CGMI is not obligated to buy the notes from investors at any time. See "Summary Risk Factors-The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity."
