CITIGROUP INC.

0.776% Fixed Rate / Floating Rate Callable Senior Notes due October 30, 2024

CITIGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $             on October 30, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from and including October 30, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. The Company shall pay interest (i) from October 30, 2020 to, but excluding, October 30, 2023 (the “Fixed Rate Period”) at a fixed rate of 0.776% per annum semi-annually, on April 30th and October 30th of each year (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date”), commencing April 30, 2021 and (ii) from, and including, October 30, 2023 (the “Floating Rate Period”), at an annual rate equal to SOFR (and defined on the reverse hereof and compounding daily over each Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period as described below) plus 0.686% quarterly, on the second business day following each Interest Period End Date (each such business day, a “Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date” and together with any Fixed Rate Period Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 1, 2024, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and provided that the Interest Payment Date with respect to the final Interest Period will be a redemption date or the Maturity Date. An Interest Period End Date is the 30th of each January,

April, July and October, beginning on January 30, 2024 and ending on a redemption date or the Maturity Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date, such subsequent Record Date to be not less than ten days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to holders of Notes of this series not less than ten days prior to such subsequent Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

During the Fixed Rate Period, interest hereon will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, and an Interest Period shall be the period from and including an Interest Payment Date (or October 30, 2020 in the case of the first Interest Period) to and including the day immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date. During the Fixed Rate Period, if an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement. For these purposes, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general business in The City of New York.

During the Floating Rate Period, interest hereon will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in an interest period and a 360-day year, and an Interest Period shall be the period from and including an Interest Period End Date (or October 30, 2023 in the case of the first Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period) to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Period End Date; provided that the Interest Period following an election by the Company to redeem the Notes and the final Interest Period will be the period from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Period End Date to, but excluding, the redemption date or the Maturity Date; and provided further that SOFR for each calendar day from, and including, the Rate Cut-Off Date (as defined on the reverse hereof) to, but excluding, the redemption date or the Maturity Date will equal SOFR in respect of the Rate Cut-Off Date. In the event that any Interest Period End Date (other than a redemption date or the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, then such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the interest period end date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. For these purposes, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general business in The City of New York and a U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined on the reverse hereof)

Dollar amounts resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. In the event that the Maturity Date or a redemption date is not a Business Day, then such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue with respect to such postponement. No interest will accrue on any amounts payable for the period from and after the due date for payment of such principal or interest.

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The City of New York.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or by an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

Dated: October 30, 2020

This is one of the Notes of the series issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

Dated: October 30, 2020

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the senior debt indenture, dated as of November 13, 2013 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal to $2,500,000,000.

During the Floating Rate Period, this Note will bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate determined by Citibank, N.A., London Branch, acting as Calculation Agent. The interest rate on this Note for a particular Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period will be a per annum rate equal to SOFR (compounding daily over each Interest Period as described below) plus 0.686%. Interest during the Floating Rate Period will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the Notes by an accrued interest factor equal to the sum of the interest factors calculated for each day during the applicable Interest Period; provided that in no event will the interest payable on the Notes be less than zero. The interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day by 360. The interest rate applicable to such day will be the sum of the Accrued Interest Compounding Factor plus 0.686%. Promptly upon determination, the Calculation Agent will inform the Trustee and the Company of the interest rate for the next Interest Period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rate by the Calculation Agent shall be binding and conclusive on the holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Company.

For the purposes of calculating interest with respect to any Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period:

“Accrued Interest Compounding Factor” means the result of the following formula:

where

“do”, for any Interest Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to do, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Period.

“SOFRi”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“ni”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Period, is the number of calendar days from, and including, such U.S. Government Securities Business Day “i” to, but excluding, the following U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Period.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

“SOFR” means, with respect to any day, the rate determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for trades made on such day that appears at approximately 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the NY Federal Reserve’s Website on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the rate specified in (1) above does not so appear, unless a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred as described in (3) below, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published on the NY Federal Reserve’s Website for the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which the Secured Overnight Financing Rate was published on the NY Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the relevant interest period end date, the Calculation Agent will use the Benchmark Replacement to determine the rate and for all other purposes relating to the Notes.

In connection with the SOFR definition above, the following definitions apply:

“Benchmark” means, initially, SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

(2) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company (or one of its affiliates) as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company (or one of its affiliates) as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company (or one of its affiliates) giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes that the Company (or one of its affiliates) decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company (or such affiliate) decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company (or such affiliate) determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company (or such affiliate) determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

“Business Day” means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York City and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed and is a U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

This Note is a Global Security registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository. This Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Notes in certificated form, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository.

The Notes represented by this Global Security are exchangeable for definitive Notes in certificated form of like tenor as such Notes in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in

excess thereof only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Notes and the Company is unable to appoint a successor depository or (ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion decides to allow the Notes to be exchanged for definitive Notes in registered form. Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated Notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of definitive Notes in certificated form is registrable in the register maintained by the Company in The City of New York for such purpose, upon surrender of the definitive Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the registrar duly executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the foregoing, this Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security or Global Securities of this issue of the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Company will pay additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the beneficial owner of any Note that is a non-United States person in order to ensure that every net payment on such Note will not be less, due to payment of U.S. withholding tax, than the amount then due and payable. For this purpose, a “net payment” on a Note means a payment by the Company or a paying agent, including payment of principal and interest, after deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge of the United States. These Additional Amounts will constitute additional interest on the Note.

The Company will not be required to pay Additional Amounts, however, in any of the circumstances described in items (1) through (13) below.

(1) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner:

(2) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner:

(3) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld in whole or in part by reason of the beneficial owner being or having been any of the following (as such terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended):

(4) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner owning or having owned, actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote or by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank that has invested in a Note as an extension of credit in the ordinary course of its trade or business.

For purposes of items (1) through (4) above, “beneficial owner” means a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder.

(5) Additional Amounts will not be payable to any beneficial owner of a Note that is a:

or that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, or any portion of the Note. However, this exception to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts will only apply to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor in relation to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment.

(6) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the failure of the beneficial owner or any other person to comply with applicable certification, identification, documentation or other information reporting requirements. This exception to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts will only apply if compliance with such reporting requirements is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge.

(7) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is collected or imposed by any method other than by withholding from a payment on a Note by the Company or a paying agent.

(8) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later.

(9) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the presentation by the beneficial owner of a Note for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later.

(10) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any:

(11) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from a payment of principal or interest on a Note if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent.

(12) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any withholding, deduction, tax, duty assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or any financial institution through which the holder or beneficial owner holds the Note or through which payment on the Note is made) to take any action (including entering into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, or a governmental authority of another jurisdiction if the holder is entitled to the benefits of an intergovernmental agreement between that jurisdiction and the United States) or to comply with any applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement or agreement concerning accounts maintained by the holder or beneficial owner (or any such financial institution), or concerning ownership of the holder or beneficial owner, or any substantially similar requirement or agreement.

(13) Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any combination of items (1) through (12) above.

Except as specifically provided herein, the Company will not be required to make any payment of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of such government.

Any redemption of the Notes as set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above shall be in whole, and not in part, and will be made at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.

Holders shall be given not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by the Trustee of the date fixed for such redemption described in (1) and (2) above. Holders shall be given not less than 5 days’ nor more than 30 days’ prior notice by the Trustee of the date fixed for such redemption described in (3) and (4) above.
