5 Year Autocallable Contingent Coupon Securities Linked to SPXI4EV6

Preliminary Terms

This summary of terms is not complete and should be read with the preliminary pricing supplement below

Issuer:

Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.

Guarantor:

Citigroup Inc.

Underlying:

The S&P 500 Futures 40% Intraday Edge Volatility TCA 6% Decrement Index (USD) ER (ticker: "SPXI4EV6")

Pricing date:

September 15, 2026

Valuation dates:

Monthly

Maturity date:

September 18, 2031

Contingent coupon:

At least 12.00% per annum*, paid monthly only if the closing value of the underlying is greater than or equal to the coupon barrier value on the related valuation date. You are not assured of receiving any contingent coupon. If the closing value on one or more valuation dates is less than its coupon barrier value and, on a subsequent valuation date, the closing value of the underlying on that subsequent valuation date is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier value, your contingent coupon payment for that subsequent valuation date will include all previously unpaid contingent coupon payments

Coupon barrier value:

70.00% of the initial underlying value

Final buffer value:

85.00% of the initial underlying value

Buffer percentage:

15.00%

Automatic early redemption:

If on any autocall date the closing value of the underlying is greater than or equal to the initial underlying value, the securities will be automatically called for an amount equal to the principal plus the related contingent coupon

Autocall dates:

Monthly on valuation dates beginning after one year

CUSIP / ISIN:

17334CVH4 / US17334CVH41

Initial underlying value:

The closing value on the pricing date

Final underlying value:

The closing value on the final valuation date

Underlying return:

(Current closing value - initial underlying value) / initial underlying value

Payment at maturity (if not autocalled):

•If the final underlying value is greater than or equal to the final buffer value: $1,000

•If the final underlying value is less than the final buffer value: $1,000 + [$1,000 × (the underlying return + the buffer percentage)]

If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlying value is less than the final buffer value, which means that the underlying has depreciated from the initial underlying value by more than the buffer percentage, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of your securities at maturity for every 1% by which that depreciation exceeds the buffer percentage.

All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.

Stated principal amount:

$1,000 per security

Preliminary pricing supplement:

Preliminary Pricing Supplement dated August 31, 2026

* The actual contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date.

** The hypotheticals assume that the contingent coupon will be set at the lowest value indicated in this offering summary.

*** Assumes the interim valuation date is also an autocall date.

**** Plus any previously paid contingent coupon payments.

Selected Risk Considerations

•You may lose a significant portion of your investment. Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not provide for the repayment of the stated principal amount at maturity in all circumstances. If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, your payment at maturity will depend on the final underlying value. If the final underlying value is less than the final buffer value, which means that the underlying has depreciated from the initial underlying value by more than the buffer percentage, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of your securities for every 1% by which that depreciation exceeds the buffer percentage.

•You will not receive any contingent coupon following any valuation date on which the closing value of the underlying on that valuation date is less than the coupon barrier value. You will only receive a contingent coupon payment that has not been paid on a subsequent contingent coupon payment date if and only if the closing value of the underlying on the related valuation date is greater than or equal to the coupon barrier value.

•The securities may be automatically redeemed prior to maturity, limiting your opportunity to receive contingent coupons if the underlying performs in a way that would otherwise be favorable.

•The securities offer downside exposure, but no upside exposure, to the underlying.

•The securities are particularly sensitive to the volatility of the closing value of the underlying on or near the valuation dates.

•The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. defaults on its obligations under the securities and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive anything owed to you under the securities.

•The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.

•The estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than the issue price. For more information about the estimated value of the securities, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.

•The value of the securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors.

•Sale of the securities prior to maturity may result in a loss of principal.

•The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of the issuer, will make important determinations with respect to the securities.

•If a material modification event occurs during the term of the securities, the issuer may redeem the securities early for an amount that may result in a significant loss on your investment.

•The calculation agent may make determinations in connection with a material modification event and the early redemption amount that could adversely affect your return upon early redemption.

•The issuer and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest with you.

•The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are unclear.

•The underlying 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 underlying 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.

•A significant portion of the underlying may be hypothetically uninvested, dampening returns.

•The underlying may significantly underperform the S&P 500® Index.

•The underlying may experience significantly greater volatility than its volatility target.

•The underlying's intraday trend-following mechanism may not be effective.

•The underlying's overnight mean-reversion mechanism may not be effective.

•The underlying may perform poorly in temporary market downturns.

•The underlying may be adversely affected by a "decay" effect.

•The Underlying Futures Index is expected to underperform the S&P 500® Index because of an implicit financing cost.

•The performance of the underlying will be reduced by notional costs and by a decrement of 6% per annum.

•The decrement of 6% per annum may reduce the annual return of the underlying by more (and possibly significantly more) than 6%.

•The negative impact of notional costs on the annual return of the underlying may be greater than the absolute amount by which notional costs reduce the level of the underlying.

•The manner in which the underlying measures underlying volatility may not be effective.

•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.

•The underlying has limited actual performance information.

•An affiliate of ours participated in the development of the underlying.
