The notes will pay a coupon per coupon period at a variable rate which will not be less than 2% per coupon period and will
depend upon the return of the Russell 2000

Index (which we refer to as the underlying index) during each coupon period. A coupon period will begin on the last index business day of the preceding coupon period, except for the first
coupon period which will begin on the date the notes are priced for initial sale to the public (which we refer to as the pricing date), and end approximately one year later. A coupon amount is payable five business days after the end of each coupon
period on March , 2010; March , 2011; March , 2012; March , 2013; and on the maturity date (each of which we refer to
as a coupon payment date).

The coupon amount payable on each coupon payment date will depend upon the closing value of the underlying index on each index business day during the related coupon period,
will be based on the percentage change in the closing value of the underlying index during such coupon period and will not be less than $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) per note nor be greater than approximately $2.50 to $3.00 (25% to 30%
of $10 principal amount per note) per note (to be determined on the pricing date). Thus, for each $10 principal amount note held, you will receive on each coupon payment date either:

an amount equal to the product of (a) $10 and (b) the percentage change in the closing value of the underlying index from the first index business day of the
related coupon period through the last index business day of the coupon period (which we refer to as the index percentage change), if (i) the closing value of the underlying index on every index business day during the coupon period is less
than or equal to approximately 125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the closing value of the underlying index on the first index business day of the coupon period (which we refer to as the starting value) and (ii) the index
percentage change is greater than 2%; or

SUMMARY INFORMATION Q&A
What Are the Notes?
The 2% Minimum Coupon Principal Protected Notes Based Upon the
Russell 2000
®
Index, or the notes, are investments linked to an equity index offered by Citigroup Funding Inc. having a maturity of approximately five years. The notes are 100% principal
protected if held to maturity and will pay a coupon per coupon period at a variable rate which will depend upon the closing value of the Russell 2000
®
Index (which we refer to as the
underlying index) on every index business day in each coupon period but will not be less than 2% per coupon period.
For each coupon period, if the closing value of the underlying index on every index business day during such coupon period does not exceed the related
starting value by more than approximately 25% to 30% (to be determined on the pricing date) and the index percentage change is greater than 2%, the payment you receive on the related coupon payment date for each $10 note you hold will be an amount
based on the index percentage change and will not be greater than approximately $2.50 to $3.00 (25% to 30% of $10 principal amount per note) (to be determined on the pricing date). If the closing value of the underlying index on any index business
day during such coupon period exceeds the related starting value by more than approximately 25% to 30% (to be determined on the pricing date) or if the index percentage change is less than or equal to 2%, on the related coupon payment date you will
receive $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) for each note you hold.
The first coupon period begins at the close of trading on the pricing date and ends at the close of trading on February , 2010 and the related coupon payment date is March
, 2010. The second coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2010 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2011 and the related coupon payment date is
March , 2011. The third coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2011 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2012 and the related coupon payment date
is March , 2012. The fourth coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2012 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2013 and the related coupon payment
date is March , 2013. The last coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2013 and ends at the close of trading on
, 2014 and the related coupon payment date is the maturity date.
The notes mature on , 2014
and do not provide for earlier redemption by you or by us. The notes are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. Any payments due on the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. The notes
will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Funding, and the guarantee of any payments due under the notes, including any payment of principal, will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of
Citigroup Inc.
Each note represents a principal amount of $10.
You may transfer the notes only in units of $10 and integral multiples of $10. You will not have the right to receive physical certificates evidencing your ownership except under limited circumstances. Instead, we will issue the notes in the form of
a global certificate, which will be held by The Depository Trust Company or its nominee. Direct and indirect participants in DTC will record beneficial ownership of the notes by individual investors. Accountholders in the Euroclear or Clearstream
Banking clearance systems may hold beneficial interests in the notes through the accounts those systems maintain with DTC. You should refer to the section Description of the Notes Book-Entry System in the accompanying prospectus
supplement and the section Description of Debt Securities Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement in the accompanying prospectus.
What Does Principal Protected Mean?
Principal protected means that your principal investment in the notes will be returned to you if held to maturity even if there is a decline
in the closing value of the underlying index. Thus, you will not receive less than $10 per $10 principal amount of notes if you hold the notes to maturity.
PS-2
Will I Receive Coupon Payments on the Notes?
Yes. The coupon amount payable on the notes will vary but will not be less than 2% per coupon period. A coupon amount
is payable on March , 2010; March , 2011; March , 2012; March , 2013; and on the maturity date and will be calculated as described below.
Please note, however, you will not be entitled to receive dividend payments or other distributions, if any, made on the stocks included in the underlying index.
How Will the Coupon Amount Be Calculated?
The coupon amount payable on each coupon payment date will depend upon the closing values of the underlying index during the related coupon period, will
be based on the index percentage change during such coupon period and will not be less than $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) per note nor be greater than approximately $2.50 to $3.00 (25% to 30% of $10 principal amount per note) per note
(to be determined on the pricing date). Thus, for each $10 principal amount note held, you will receive on each coupon payment date either:
|
¡
|
|
an amount equal to the product of (a) $10 and (b) the index percentage change, if the closing value of the underlying index on every index business day
during the related coupon period is less than or equal to approximately 125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the applicable starting value and if the index percentage change is greater than 2%; or
|
|
¡
|
|
an amount equal to $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note), in all other cases.
|
The index percentage change for each coupon period will equal the percentage change in the closing value of the underlying
index from the related ending value to the related starting value, expressed as a percentage:
Ending Value Starting Value
Starting Value
The starting value for each coupon period will equal the
closing value of the underlying index on the first index business day of such coupon period.
The ending value for each coupon period will equal the closing value of the underlying index on the last index business day of such coupon period.
The first coupon period begins at the close of trading on the pricing date and ends at the close of trading on February
, 2010 and the related coupon payment date is March , 2010. The second coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2010 and ends at the close of trading on
February , 2011 and the related coupon payment date is March , 2011. The third coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2011 and ends at the close of trading
on February , 2012 and the related coupon payment date is March , 2012. The fourth coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2012 and ends at the close of
trading on February , 2013 and the related coupon payment date is March , 2013. The last coupon period begins at the close of trading on February , 2013 and ends at the close of
trading on , 2014 and the related coupon payment date is the maturity date.
The pricing date will be the date on which the notes are initially priced for sale to the public.
For more specific information about the determination of an index business
day and the effect of a market disruption event on the determination of the coupon amount payable on each coupon payment date, please see Description of the Notes Coupon Amount in this pricing supplement.
What Will I Receive at Maturity of the Notes?
The notes will mature on
, 2014. At maturity you will receive for each note you hold an amount in cash equal to $10 plus the last coupon amount.
PS-3

®
Index will perform in the future. You
should also refer to the section Risk Factors The Historical Performance of the Underlying Index Is Not an Indication of the Future Performance of the Underlying Index in this pricing supplement.
What Are the U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in the Notes?
Amounts received as contingent coupons on the notes will
be taxable as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with the holders method of tax accounting). Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a note, a holder generally will
recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and such holders tax basis in such note. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held the note
for more than one year at the time of disposition. You should refer to Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations in this pricing supplement for more information.
Will the Notes Be Listed on a Stock Exchange?
We will apply to list the notes on NYSE Arca under the symbol MOU. You should be aware that the listing of the
notes on NYSE Arca does not guarantee that a liquid trading market will be available for the notes.
Can You Tell Me More About Citigroup Inc. and Citigroup Funding?
Citigroup Inc. is a diversified global financial services holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of financial services to consumer and
corporate customers. Citigroup Funding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. whose business activities consist primarily of providing funds to Citigroup Inc. and its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.
PS-4
What Is the Role of Citigroup Funding and Citigroups Affiliate, Citigroup Global Markets Inc.?
Our affiliate, Citigroup Global Markets, is the agent for the offering
and sale of the notes and is expected to receive compensation for activities and services provided in connection with the offering. After the initial offering, Citigroup Global Markets and/or other of our broker-dealer affiliates intend to buy and
sell the notes to create a secondary market for holders of the notes, and may engage in other activities described in the sections Plan of Distribution in this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.
However, neither Citigroup Global Markets nor any of these affiliates will be obligated to engage in any market-making activities, or continue such activities once it has started them. Citigroup Global Markets will also act as calculation agent for
the notes. Potential conflicts of interest may exist between Citigroup Global Markets and you as a holder of the notes.
Can You Tell Me More About the Effect of Citigroup Fundings Hedging Activity?
We expect to hedge our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. This hedging activity will likely involve trading
in the underlying index or one or more of the stocks included in the underlying index or in other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the underlying index or the stocks included in the underlying index. This hedging activity
could affect the value of the underlying index and therefore the market value of the notes. The costs of maintaining or adjusting this hedging activity could also affect the price at which our affiliate Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to
purchase your notes in the secondary market. Moreover, this hedging activity may result in us or our affiliates receiving a profit, even if the market value of the notes declines. You should refer to Risk Factors Relating to the Notes
The Price at Which You Will Be Able to Sell Your Notes Prior to Maturity Will Depend on a Number of Factors in this pricing supplement, Risk Factors Citigroup Fundings Hedging Activity Could Result in a Conflict of
Interest in the accompanying prospectus supplement and Use of Proceeds and Hedging in the accompanying prospectus.
Does ERISA Impose Any Limitations on Purchases of the Notes?
Employee benefit plans and other entities the assets of which are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or substantially similar federal, state or local laws, including individual retirement accounts, (which we call Plans) will be
permitted to purchase and hold the notes, provided that each such Plan shall by its purchase be deemed to represent and warrant either that (A)(i) none of Citigroup Global Markets, its affiliates or any employee thereof is a Plan fiduciary that has
or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the Plans assets used to purchase the notes or renders investment advice with respect to those assets and (ii) the Plan is paying no more than adequate consideration for
the notes or (B) its acquisition and holding of the notes is not prohibited by any such provisions or laws or is exempt from any such prohibition. However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well
as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the notes if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets or a
family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of notes by the account, plan or annuity. Please refer to the section ERISA Matters in this pricing supplement
for further information.
Are There Any Risks Associated with My Investment?
Yes. The notes are subject to a number of risks. Please
refer to the section Risk Factors Relating to the Notes in this pricing supplement.
PS-5
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE NOTES
Because the terms of
the notes differ from those of conventional debt securities, an investment in the notes entails significant risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities, including, among other things, fluctuations in the value of the
Russell 2000
®
Index and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.
The Return on Your Notes May Be As Little As 2% Per Coupon Period
Your coupon amount payable on each coupon payment date will depend upon the closing values of the underlying index during the applicable coupon period,
will be based on the index percentage change during such coupon period and will not be less than $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) per note nor be greater than approximately $2.50 to $3.00 (25% to 30% of $10 principal amount per note) per
note (to be determined on the pricing date). If (i) the closing value of the underlying index on any index business day during the coupon period exceeds the related starting value by more than approximately 25% to 30% (to be determined on the
pricing date), or (ii) the index percentage change is less than or equal to 2%, then on the related coupon payment date you will receive $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) for each note you hold. Because of the possibility of a return
of 2% per coupon period, the notes may provide less opportunity for return than an investment that would permit you to participate fully in the appreciation of the underlying index or an investment in some or all of the stocks included in the
underlying index.
The Appreciation of Your Investment in the Notes Will Be
Limited
If the closing value of the underlying index on
any index business day during a coupon period is greater than approximately 125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the related starting value, you will receive a coupon payment equal to $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) for
each note you hold, regardless of the index percentage change. In this case, if the underlying index appreciates more than 2% during any coupon period, you will not fully participate in such appreciation. Moreover, the maximum return you will
receive on the notes during each coupon period is limited to approximately 25% to 30% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the principal amount of the notes you hold.
No Principal Protection Unless You Hold the Notes to Maturity
You will be entitled to receive at least the full principal amount of your notes only if you hold the notes to maturity. The
market value of the notes may fluctuate, and if you sell your notes in the secondary market prior to maturity, you may receive less than your initial investment.
The Volatility of the Value of the Underlying Index
Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market
fluctuations in the value of the underlying index. Because the amount of the coupon amount payable on the notes depends upon the value of the underlying index during each coupon period and may be based on the related ending value of the underlying
index, the volatility of the value of the underlying index may result in your receiving a fixed return of 2% on the notes for any or all of the coupon periods. Although past volatility is not indicative of future volatility, see Description of
the Russell 2000
®
Index Historical Data on the Russell 2000
®
Index in this pricing supplement for more information
on the historical value of the underlying index.
The Yield on the Notes May
Be Lower Than the Yield on a Standard Debt Security of Comparable Maturity
Even if the closing value of the underlying index has not exceeded approximately 125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the relevant starting value in each coupon period, if the overall return on the
notes (calculated on a simple interest rate basis) is less than %, the yield on the notes will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding
of comparable maturity.
PS-6
The Price at Which You Will Be Able to Sell Your Notes Prior to Maturity Will Depend on a Number of Factors
We believe that the value of your notes in the secondary
market will be affected by the supply of, and demand for, the notes, the value of the underlying index and a number of other factors. Some of these factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or
magnified by the effect of another factor. The following paragraphs describe what we expect to be the impact on the market value of the notes of a change in a specific factor, assuming all other conditions remain constant.
Value of the Underlying Index.
We expect
that the market value of the notes will depend substantially on the amount, if any, by which the closing value of the underlying index changes from the starting value in each coupon period. However, changes in the closing value of the underlying
index may not always be reflected, in full or in part, in the market value of the notes. If you choose to sell your notes prior to the end of a coupon period, even if the closing value of the underlying index has been less than or equal to
approximately 125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the applicable starting value at all times during the related coupon period up to and including the time of sale, you may receive substantially less than the amount that would be
payable at maturity based on the closing value at the time of sale because of expectations that the value of the underlying index will continue to fluctuate between that time and the time when the ending value is determined. In addition, significant
increases in the closing value of the underlying index may result in a decrease in the market value of the notes because if the closing value of the underlying index on any index business day during each coupon period is greater than approximately
125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the applicable starting value, the amount you can receive on the related coupon payment date for each $10 note you then hold will be limited to $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per note) per
note.
Trading prices of the stocks included in the underlying
index will be influenced by both the complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the capital markets generally and the equity trading markets on which such stocks are traded, and by various circumstances
that can influence the values of such stocks in a specific market segment of a particular stock. Citigroup Fundings hedging activities in the stocks included in the underlying index, the issuance of securities similar to the notes and other
trading activities by Citigroup Funding, its affiliates and other market participants can also affect the price of the stocks included in the underlying index.
Volatility of the Underlying Index.
Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market
fluctuations. If the expected volatility of the value of the underlying index changes during the term of the notes, the market value of the notes in the secondary market may decrease.
Events Involving the Companies Included in the Underlying Index.
General economic
conditions and earnings results of the companies whose stocks are included in the underlying index and real or anticipated changes in those conditions or results may affect the market value of the notes. In addition, if the dividend yields on those
stocks increase, we expect that the market value of the notes may decrease because the note return amount does not incorporate the value of dividend payments. Conversely, if dividend yields on the stocks decrease, we expect that the market value of
the notes may increase.
Interest
Rates.
We expect that the market value of the notes will be affected by changes in U.S. interest rates. In general, if U.S. interest rates increase, the market value of the notes may decrease, and if U.S. interest
rates decrease, the market value of the notes in the secondary market may increase.
Time Premium or Discount.
As a result of a time premium or discount, the notes may trade at a value above or below that which would be expected based on the
level of interest rates and the closing value of the underlying index. A time premium or discount results from expectations concerning the closing value of the underlying index during the period prior to the maturity of the
notes. However, as the time remaining to maturity decreases, this time premium or discount may diminish, increasing or decreasing the market value of the notes.
PS-7
Hedging Activities.
Hedging activities related to the notes by one
or more of our affiliates will likely involve trading in one or more of the stocks included in the underlying index or in other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the underlying index or the stocks included in the underlying
index. This hedging activity could affect the value of the underlying index and therefore the market value of the notes. It is possible that our affiliates or we may profit from our hedging activity, even if the market value of the notes declines.
Profit or loss from this hedging activity could affect the price at which our affiliate Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market.
Credit Ratings, Financial Condition and Results.
Actual or anticipated changes in the
financial condition or results of Citigroup Funding or the credit ratings, financial condition or results of Citigroup Inc. may affect the value of the notes. The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., the guarantor of the payments
due on the notes.
We want you to understand that the impact of
one of the factors specified above may offset some or all of any change in the market value of the notes attributable to another factor.
The Historical Performance of the Underlying Index Is Not an Indication of the Future Performance of the Underlying Index
The historical performance of the underlying index, which is included in
this pricing supplement, should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the underlying index during the term of the notes. Changes in the value of the underlying index will affect the market value of the notes, but it is
impossible to predict whether the value of the underlying index will fall or rise.
Your Return on the Notes Will Not Reflect the Return You Would Realize if You Actually Owned the Stocks Included in the Underlying Index
Your return on the notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks included in the underlying index because Russell
calculates the value of the underlying index by reference to the prices of the stocks included in the underlying index without taking into consideration the value of any dividends paid on those stocks. As a result, the return on the notes may be
less than the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks included in the underlying index even if its ending value is greater than its starting value. In addition, the maximum total return is limited to approximately 25% to 30% (to be
determined on the pricing date) per coupon period of the principal amount of the notes, whereas there would be no limit on the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks included in the underlying index.
You May Not Be Able to Sell Your Notes if an Active Trading Market for the Notes Does Not
Develop
There is currently no secondary market for the
notes. Citigroup Global Markets currently intends, but is not obligated, to make a market in the notes. Even if a secondary market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the notes. If the secondary market is limited,
there may be few buyers should you choose to sell your notes prior to maturity and this may reduce the price you receive.
The Market Value of the Notes May Be Affected by Purchases and Sales of the Stocks Included in the Underlying Index or Related Derivative Instruments by Affiliates of
Citigroup Funding
Citigroup Fundings affiliates,
including Citigroup Global Markets, may from time to time buy or sell the stocks included in the underlying Index or derivative instruments relating to the underlying index or such stocks for their own accounts in connection with their normal
business practices. These transactions could affect the value of the stocks included in the underlying index and, thus, the closing value of the underlying index and the market value of the notes.
PS-8
Citigroup Global Markets, an Affiliate of Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc., Is the Calculation Agent, Which Could
Result in a Conflict of Interest
Citigroup Global
Markets, which is acting as the calculation agent for the notes, is an affiliate of ours. As a result, Citigroup Global Markets duties as calculation agent, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the calculation
agent must make in determining amounts due to you, may conflict with its interest as an affiliate of ours.
Citigroup Fundings Hedging Activity Could Result in a Conflict of Interest
In anticipation of the sale of the notes, we expect one or more of our affiliates to enter into hedge transactions. This hedging activity will likely
involve trading in the underlying index or one or more of the stocks included in the underlying index or in other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the underlying index or the stocks included in the underlying index. This
hedging activity may present a conflict between your interest in the notes and the interests our affiliates have in executing, maintaining and adjusting their hedge transactions because it could affect the closing value of the underlying index and
therefore the market value of the notes. It could also be adverse to your interest if it affects the price at which our affiliate Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. Since hedging the obligations
under the notes involves risk and may be influenced by a number of factors, it is possible that our affiliates may profit from the hedging activity, even if the market value of the notes declines.
You Will Have No Rights Against the Publisher of the Underlying Index or Any Issuer of Any
Stock Included in the Underlying Index
You will have no
rights against the publisher of the underlying index, or any issuer of any stock included in the underlying index, even though the amount you receive on a coupon payment date will depend upon the daily closing value and the applicable ending value
of the underlying index, which depends, in part, on the prices of the stocks included in the underlying index. By investing in the notes, you will not acquire any shares of stocks included in the underlying index and you will not receive any
dividends or other distributions, if any, with respect to the stocks included in the underlying index. The index publisher and the issuers of the stocks included in the underlying index are not in any way involved in this offering and have no
obligations relating to the notes or the holders of the notes.
PS-9
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The description in this pricing supplement of the particular terms of the
notes supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.
General
The 2% Minimum Coupon Principal Protected Notes Based Upon the Russell 2000
®
Index (the Notes) are investments linked to an equity index offered by Citigroup Funding Inc. and have a maturity of approximately five years. The Notes are 100% principal protected
if held to maturity and will pay a coupon per Coupon Period at a variable rate which will depend on the closing value of the Russell 2000
®
Index (the Underlying Index) on every
Index Business Day in each Coupon Period but will not be less than 2% per Coupon Period.
For each Coupon Period, if the closing value of the Underlying Index on every Index Business Day during such Coupon Period does not exceed the related Starting Value by more than approximately 25% to 30% (to be
determined on the Pricing Date) and the Index Percentage Change is greater than 2%, the payment you receive on the related Coupon Payment Date for each $10 Note you hold will be based on the Index Percentage Change and will be an amount not greater
than approximately $2.50 to $3.00 (25% to 30% of $10 principal amount per Note) (to be determined on the Pricing Date). If the closing value of the Underlying Index on any Index Business Day during such Coupon Period exceeds the related Starting
Value by more than approximately 25% to 30% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) or if the Index Percentage Change is less than or equal to 2%, you will receive a coupon amount equal to $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note) for each Note you
hold on the related Coupon Payment Date.
The first Coupon
Period begins at the close of trading on the Pricing Date and ends at the close of trading on February , 2010 and the related Coupon Payment Date is March , 2010. The second Coupon Period begins at the
close of trading on February , 2010 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2011 and the related Coupon Payment Date is March , 2011. The third Coupon Period begins at
the close of trading on February , 2011 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2012 and the related Coupon Payment Date is March , 2012. The fourth Coupon Period begins
at the close of trading on February , 2012 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2013 and the related Coupon Payment date is March , 2013. The last Coupon Period begins
at the close of trading on February , 2013 and ends at the close of trading on , 2014 and the related Coupon Payment date is the
maturity date.
The Notes are a series of debt securities
issued under the senior debt indenture described in the accompanying prospectus, any payments on which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. The aggregate principal amount of Notes issued will be
$ ( Notes). The Notes will mature on
, 2014. The Notes will constitute part of the senior debt of Citigroup Funding and will rank equally with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Funding. The guarantee of any payments due under the Notes, including any payment of principal, will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Inc. The Notes will be issued only in
fully registered form and in denominations of $10 per Note and integral multiples thereof.
Reference is made to the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for a detailed summary of additional provisions of the Notes and of the senior debt indenture under which the Notes will be issued.
Payment at Maturity
The Notes will mature on
, 2014. If you hold your Note to maturity, you will receive at maturity for each $10 principal amount Note an amount in cash
equal to $10 plus the last Coupon Amount.
PS-10
Coupon Amount
The Coupon Amount payable on the Notes will vary but will not be less than 2% of $10 principal amount per Note. A Coupon Amount is payable on March
, 2010; March , 2011; March , 2012; March , 2013; and on the maturity date (the Coupon Payment Dates) and will be calculated
as described below. Please note, however, you will not be entitled to receive dividend payments or other distributions, if any, made on the stocks included in the Underlying Index.
The Coupon Amount payable on each Coupon Payment Date will depend upon the closing value of the Underlying Index during the
related Coupon Period, will be based on the Index Percentage Change during such Coupon Period and will not be less than $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note nor be greater than approximately $2.50 to $3.00 (25% to 30% of $10
principal amount per Note) per Note (to be determined on the Pricing Date). Thus, for each $10 principal amount Note held, you will receive on each Coupon Payment Date either:
|
¡
|
|
an amount equal to the product of (a) $10 and (b) the Index Percentage Change, if the closing value of the Underlying Index on every Index Business Day
during the related Coupon Period is less than or equal to approximately 125% to 130% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the applicable Starting Value and if the Index Percentage Change is greater than 2%; or
|
|
¡
|
|
an amount equal to $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note), in all other cases.
|
The Index Percentage Change for each Coupon Period will equal the percentage change in the closing value of the Underlying
Index from the related Ending Value to the related Starting Value, expressed as a percentage:
Ending Value Starting Value
Starting Value
The Starting Value for each Coupon Period will equal the
closing value of the Underlying Index on the first Index Business Day of such Coupon Period.
The Ending Value for each Coupon Period will equal the closing value of the Underlying Index on the last Index Business Day of such Coupon Period.
The first Coupon Period begins at the close of trading on the Pricing Date and ends at the close of trading on February
, 2010. The second Coupon Period begins at the close of trading on February , 2010 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2011. The third Coupon Period begins at the
close of trading on February , 2011 and ends at the close of trading on February , 2012. The fourth Coupon Period begins at the close of trading on February , 2012 and ends at
the close of trading on February , 2013. The last Coupon Period begins at the close of trading on February , 2013, and ends at the close of trading on
, 2014.
The Pricing Date will be the date on which the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public.
Unless specified otherwise in the applicable offering summary as superseded
after pricing by the related pricing supplement, the coupon payment will be payable to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on one Business Day preceding the Coupon Payment Date. If a Coupon Payment Date falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the coupon payment to be made on that Coupon Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on that Coupon Payment Date, and no additional interest will
accrue as a result of such delayed payment.
A Business
Day means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the securities exchanges or banking institutions or trust companies in the City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
PS-11
If the Ending Value of the Underlying Index is not available on any date of determination because of a
Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the value of the Underlying Index for that Index Business Day, unless deferred by the Calculation Agent as described below, will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the value of
the Underlying Index obtained from as many dealers in equity securities (which may include Citigroup Global Markets or any of our other affiliates), but not exceeding three such dealers, as will make such value available to the Calculation Agent.
The determination of the value of the Underlying Index by the Calculation Agent in the event of a Market Disruption Event may be deferred by the Calculation Agent for up to five consecutive Index Business Days on which a Market Disruption Event is
occurring, but not past the Index Business Day immediately prior to the maturity date.
A Market Disruption Event means, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, the occurrence or existence of any suspension of or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in
price exceeding limits permitted by any relevant exchange or market or otherwise) of, or the unavailability, through a recognized system of public dissemination of transaction information, for a period longer than two hours, or during the one-half
hour period preceding the close of trading, on the applicable exchange or market, of accurate price, volume or related information in respect of (a) stocks which then comprise 20% or more of the value of the Underlying Index or any successor
index, (b) any options or futures contracts, or any options on such futures contracts relating to the Underlying Index or any successor index, or (c) any options or futures contracts relating to stocks which then comprise 20% or more of
the value of the Underlying Index or any successor index on any exchange or market if, in each case, in the determination of the Calculation Agent, any such suspension, limitation or unavailability is material. For the purpose of determining whether
a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the Underlying Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the value of the
Underlying Index will be based on a comparison of the portion of the value of the Underlying Index attributable to that security relative to the overall value of the Underlying Index, in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.
An Index Business Day means a day, as determined
by the Calculation Agent, on which the Underlying Index or any successor index is calculated and published and on which securities comprising more than 80% of the value of the index on such day are capable of being traded on their relevant exchanges
or markets during the one-half hour before the determination of the closing value of the index. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will be conclusive for all purposes and
binding on Citigroup Funding, Citigroup Inc. and the beneficial owners of the Notes, absent manifest error.
Hypothetical Coupon Amounts
The Coupon Amount payable for each Coupon Period, which can be as little as $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, will depend on the closing values of the Underlying Index on every Index Business Day during such Coupon
Period and will be based on the Index Percentage Change.
Because the closing value of the Underlying Index may be subject to significant variations during each Coupon Period, it is not possible to present a chart or table illustrating a complete range of possible Coupon Amounts. The examples of
hypothetical Coupon Amounts set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different Ending Values of the Underlying Index on the return of the Notes for each Coupon Period, which depends on whether there has been a closing value of the
Underlying Index on any Index Business Day during such Coupon Period greater than 127.5% of the related Starting Value and on the Index Percentage Change. All of the hypothetical examples assume an investment in the Notes of $10, that the applicable
Starting Value is 450, that the threshold for determining whether holders will receive a return based on the Index Percentage Change or the fixed return of 2% is 127.5% of the applicable Starting Value, that 127.5% of the applicable Starting Value
is 573.75, that the term of the Coupon Period is one year and that an investment is made on the initial Issue Date and held to the Coupon Payment Date.
As demonstrated by the examples below, if the hypothetical closing value of the Underlying Index on every Index Business Day during each Coupon Period is
less than or equal to 573.75, the return for such Coupon Period
PS-12
will be equal to the Index Percentage Change, and so long as the hypothetical applicable Ending Value is greater than the hypothetical applicable Starting
Value and the Index Percentage Change is greater than 2%, the Coupon Amount will be greater than $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note. If, however, the hypothetical closing value of the Underlying Index on any Index Business Day
during any Coupon Period is greater than 573.75, the Coupon Amount for such Coupon Period will be equal to $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, regardless of whether the hypothetical applicable Ending Value is greater than or less
than the hypothetical applicable Starting Value. The hypothetical return for each Coupon Period provided in the examples is only relevant to such Coupon Period. A hypothetical return for one Coupon Period is no indication of such return for a
subsequent Coupon Period.

The examples are
for purposes of illustration only. The actual Coupon Amount for each Coupon Period will depend on the actual closing values, the actual applicable Starting Value, the actual applicable Ending Value and the actual threshold and other relevant
parameters for determining whether holders will receive a return based on the Index Percentage Change or the fixed return of 2% per Coupon Period.
Hypothetical Total Return on the Notes
The total return on the Notes will depend on the Coupon Amount for each of the five Coupon Periods during the term of the Notes. Each Coupon Amount
payable for each Coupon Period, which can be as little as $0.20 (2% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, will depend on the closing value of the Underlying Index on every Index Business Day during such Coupon Period and will be based on the
Index Percentage Change. Because the closing value of the Underlying Index may be subject to significant variations during each Coupon Period, it is not possible to present graphs illustrating a complete range of possible total returns on the Notes.
The example of a hypothetical total return on the Notes set forth below is intended to illustrate the effect of different Coupon
PS-13
Amounts on the total return on the Notes, which each depends on whether there has been a closing value of the Underlying Index on any Index Business Day
during each Coupon Period greater than 127.5% of the applicable Starting Value and on the Index Percentage Change. All of the hypothetical examples below assume an investment in the Notes of $10; that the threshold for determining whether holders
will receive a return based on the Index Percentage Change during each Coupon Period or the fixed return is 127.5% of the applicable Starting Value during such Coupon Period; that the term of the Notes is five years and that an investment is made on
the initial Issue Date and held to the Maturity Date.

Discontinuance of the Russell 2000
®
Index
If
Russell discontinues publication of the Russell 2000
®
Index or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be
comparable to the Russell 2000
®
Index, then the value of the relevant index will be determined by reference to the value of that index, which we refer to as a successor index.
Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a successor
index, the Calculation Agent will cause notice to be furnished to us and the trustee, who will provide notice of the selection of the successor index to the registered holders of the Notes.
If Russell
discontinues publication of the Russell 2000
®
Index and a successor index is not selected by the Calculation Agent or is no longer published on any date of determination of the value of the
Russell 2000
®
Index, the value to be substituted for the Russell 2000
®
Index for that date will be a value computed by the
Calculation Agent for that date in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the relevant index prior to any such discontinuance.
If Russell discontinues publication of the Russell 2000
®
Index prior to the determination of the relevant Coupon Amount and the Calculation Agent determines that no successor index is available at that time, then on each Index Business Day until the earlier to occur of
(a) the determination of the relevant Coupon Amount and (b) a determination by the Calculation Agent that a successor index is available, the Calculation Agent will determine the value that is to be used in computing the value of the
Russell 2000
®
Index or the relevant index as described in the preceding paragraph.
If a successor index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a value as a substitute for the relevant index as described above, the successor
index or value will be substituted for the relevant index for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether an Index Business Day or Market Disruption Event occurs.
Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the
publication of the Russell 2000
®
Index may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation
Agent and will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on us, Citigroup Inc. and the beneficial owners of the Notes, absent manifest error.
PS-15
Alteration of Method of Calculation
If at any time the method of calculating the Russell 2000
®
Index or a successor index is changed in any material respect, or if the Russell 2000
®
Index or a successor index is in any other way
modified so that the value of the Russell 2000
®
Index or the successor index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of that index had the changes or
modifications not been made, then, from and after that time, the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, make those adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to
arrive at a calculation of a value of a stock index comparable to the Russell 2000
®
Index or the successor index as if the changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the
value of the index with reference to the Russell 2000
®
Index or the successor index. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Russell 2000
®
Index or the successor index is modified so that the value of the Russell 2000
®
Index or the successor index is a fraction or a multiple of what it would
have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent will adjust that index in order to arrive at a value of the index as if it had not been modified.
Redemption at the Option of the Holder; Defeasance
The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of any holder prior to maturity and are not subject to the defeasance provisions
described in the accompanying prospectus under Description of Debt Securities Defeasance.
Events of Default and Acceleration
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to any Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the Notes will be
determined by the Calculation Agent and will equal, for each Note, the payment at maturity, calculated as though the maturity of the Notes were the date of early repayment. See Payment at Maturity above. If a bankruptcy proceeding
is commenced in respect of Citigroup Funding or Citigroup Inc., the claim of the beneficial owner of a Note will be capped at the maturity payment, calculated as though the maturity date of the Notes were the date of the commencement of the
proceeding.
In case of default in payment at maturity of the
Notes, the Notes shall bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, from and after the maturity date through the date when payment of the unpaid amount has been made or duly
provided for, at the rate of % per annum on the unpaid amount due.
Paying Agent and Trustee
Citibank, N.A. will serve as paying agent for the Notes and will also hold the global security representing the Notes as custodian for DTC. The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly known as The Bank of New York, as successor trustee under an
indenture dated June 1, 2005, will serve as trustee for the Notes.
Calculation Agent
The Calculation Agent for
the Notes will be Citigroup Global Markets. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Citigroup

DESCRIPTION OF THE
RUSSELL 2000
®
INDEX
General
Unless otherwise stated, all information on the Russell 2000
®
Index provided in this pricing supplement is derived from the Russell Investment Group
(Russell) or other publicly available sources. The Russell 2000
®
Index is published by Russell and is intended to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small-cap
segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000
®
Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true
small-cap equities. Since September 2004, eligible initial public offerings (IPOs) of stock have also been added to the Russell 2000
®
Index at the end of each calendar quarter
in order to ensure new additions to the investing opportunity set are reflected in the index. The Russell 2000
®
Index includes the smallest 2000 securities, according to market
capitalization, in the Russell 3000E Index.
As of November 30, 2008, the largest five sectors represented by the Russell 2000
®
Index were Financial Services, Health Care, Consumer Discretionary and Services, Technology and Materials and Processing. Real-time dissemination of the value of the Russell 2000
®
Index by Reuters began in December 1986.
THE RUSSELL 2000
®
INDEX DOES NOT
REFLECT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS ON THE STOCKS UNDERLYING IT AND THEREFORE THE RETURN ON THE NOTES WILL NOT PRODUCE THE SAME RETURN YOU WOULD RECEIVE IF YOU WERE TO PURCHASE SUCH UNDERLYING STOCKS AND HOLD THEM UNTIL THE MATURITY DATE.
Computation of the Russell
2000
®
Index
Companies incorporated in the United States are eligible for inclusion in the Russell Indexes. Additionally, beginning with the reconstitution that took place on June 23, 2007, companies incorporated in select
international regions including Bahamas, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, are also eligible for inclusion if such companies meet at least ONE of the following criteria: 1) the headquarters is in the United States or 2) the headquarters is in the
international region
and
the primary exchange for local shares of the company is in the United States. Preferred and convertible preferred stock, redeemable shares, participating preferred stock, paired shares, warrants and rights are
excluded. American Depository Receipts, trust receipts, royalty trusts, limited liability companies, OTC companies, bulletin board companies, pink sheets, closed-end mutual funds and limited partnerships that are traded on U.S. exchanges are also
ineligible for inclusion. Real Estate Investment Trusts are, however, eligible for inclusion. Generally, only one class of securities of a company is allowed in the Index, although exceptions to this general rule have been made where Russell has
determined that each class of securities acts independently of the other. Stocks must trade at or above $1.00 on May 31 of each year to be eligible for inclusion in the Index. However, if a stock falls below $1.00 intra-year, it will not be
removed until the next reconstitution, if it is still trading below $1.00. In order to be included in the Russell Indexes annual reconstitution, a stock must be listed on May 31
and
Russell must have access to documentation
verifying the companys eligibility for inclusion. IPOs will be considered for inclusion quarterly.
The primary criteria used to determine the initial list of securities eligible for the Russell
2000
®
Index is total market capitalization, which is defined as the price of the shares times the total number of available shares, or shares assumed to be available for trading. Based on
closing values on May 31 of each year, Russell reconstitutes the composition of the Russell 2000
®
Index using the then-existing market capitalizations of eligible companies. IPO
eligibility is determined quarterly. Generally, as of the last Friday of June of each year, the Russell 2000
®
Index is adjusted to reflect the reconstitution market value for that year.
The following types of shares are considered unavailable for
the purposes of capitalization determinations:
|
|
|
ESOP or LESOP shares corporations that have Employee Stock Ownership Plans that comprise 10% or more of the shares outstanding are adjusted;
|
PS-17
|
|
|
Corporate cross-owned shares when shares of a company in one of the Russell Indexes are held by another company also in one of the Russell Indexes. All
shares in this class will be adjusted;
|
|
|
|
Large private and corporate shares shares held by another listed company or private individuals, if the amount of shares so held is greater than 10% of
outstanding shares but does not preclude institutional holdings by investment companies, partnerships, insurance companies, mutual funds, banks or venture capital firms;
|
|
|
|
Unlisted share classes classes of common stock that are not traded on a U.S. exchange; and
|
|
|
|
IPO lock-ups shares locked up during an IPO that are not available to the public and will be excluded from the market value at the time the IPO enters the
relevant Russell Index.
|
Once the market capitalization for each security is determined using total shares and price (as
described above), each security is placed in the appropriate Russell market capitalization-based index. The largest 4,000 securities become members of the Russell 3000E Index. The Russell 2000
®
Index is a subset of this index and generally includes the stock of companies 1001 through 3000 (based on descending total market capitalization) of the Russell 3000E Index.
The following
summarizes selected types of maintenance adjustments to which the Russell 2000
®
Index is subject. A full description of all corporate action driven change to the Russell Indexes can be
found on Russells website.
|
|
|
No Replacement Rule Securities that leave the Russell 2000
®
Index, between reconstitution dates, for any reason (e.g., mergers, acquisitions or other similar corporate activity) are not replaced. Thus, the number of securities in the Russell 2000
®
Index over the past year will fluctuate according to corporate activity.
|
|
|
|
Acquired or Reorganized Stock Adjustments to the Russell 2000
®
Index will be made on the effective date of an acquisition or reorganization of a corporation whose stock is included in the Russell 2000
®
Index. If both
companies involved are included in the Russell 3000E Index, the acquired company is deleted and that companys market capitalization is moved to the acquiring stock according to the merger terms. Special rules apply if only one of the
companies involved is included in the Russell 3000E Index.
|
|
|
|
Re-incorporated or Delisted Stock Companies re-incorporating to another country or delisting their stock will be removed on the day of re-incorporation or
delisting.
|
|
|
|
Spin-offs Spin-off companies are added to the parent companys Russell index and capitalization tier of membership, if the spin-off company is large
enough. To be eligible, the spun-off companys total market capitalization must be greater than the market-adjusted total market capitalization of the smallest security in the Russell 3000E Index at the latest reconstitution.
|
|
|
|
Initial Public Offerings Eligible IPOs are added to the Russell Indexes each quarter.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations
material to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes. Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a person that is a holder or a beneficial owner of a Note that is a citizen or
resident of the United States or a domestic corporation or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of a Note (a U.S. Holder). All references to holders (including U.S. Holders) are to
beneficial owners of the Notes. This summary is based on U.S. federal income tax laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this pricing supplement, all of which are subject to change at any time (possibly with retroactive
effect).
This summary addresses the U.S. federal income tax
consequences to U.S. Holders who are initial holders of the Notes and who will hold the Notes as capital assets. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of its
individual investment circumstances or to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as dealers in securities or foreign currency, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations and taxpayers holding the Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, synthetic security or other integrated financial transaction. Moreover, the effect of any applicable
state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed.
Investors
should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of holding the Notes, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.
U.S. Holders
Receipt of Contingent Coupons
.
Amounts received as contingent coupons on the
Notes will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with such U.S. Holders method of tax accounting).
Purchase, Sale and Retirement of
Notes
.
Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a Note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and the
U.S. Holders tax basis in such Note. A U.S. Holders tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of such Note to such holder. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S.
Holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income. The deductibility
of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
.
Information returns may be required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) relating to payments made to a particular U.S. Holder of Notes. In addition,
U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding tax on such payments if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers to the trustee in the manner required, fail to certify that they are not subject to backup withholding tax, or
otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. U.S. Holders may also be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax with respect to the proceeds from a sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition
of the Notes.
Non-U.S. Holders
A holder or beneficial owner of Notes that is not a U.S. Holder (a
Non-U.S. Holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the payments of the contingent coupons on the Notes, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder certifies on IRS Form W-8BEN (or a successor form), under
penalties of perjury, that it is a Non-U.S. Holder and provides its name and address or otherwise satisfies applicable
PS-21
documentation requirements and the payments are not effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States
(or, where a tax treaty applies, are not attributable to a United States permanent establishment). Any gain realized on the sale of Notes by a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be exempt from U.S. federal income and withholding tax unless the gain is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder (or, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), or in the case of gain realized by an individual
Non-U.S. Holder, the Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.
In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting with respect to payments of the
contingent coupons on the Notes if the Non-U.S. Holder provides an IRS Form W-8BEN (or a successor form) with respect to such payments.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax
A Note beneficially owned by a non-U.S. Holder who at the time of death is neither a resident nor citizen of the U.S. should not be subject to U.S.
federal estate tax.
PS-22
