PROXY STATEMENT
On or about March 12, 2014, the proxy materials of Citigroup Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), were made available to stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the board of directors of the Company (the Board) for use at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual Meeting) to be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at 9:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time, at The Landmark Ballroom at the Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. The original proxy statement (the Proxy Statement) was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 12, 2014.
This supplement, dated April 3, 2014 (the Supplement), supplements and amends the Proxy Statement and is being filed with the SEC on April 3, 2014 and will be available for stockholders to view on Citis website at www.citigroup.com on April 3, 2014.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND THIS SUPPLEMENT CAREFULLY IN DECIDING HOW TO VOTE. Shareholders are asked to vote on the following matters at the 2014 Annual Meeting: (1) the election to the Board of the 13 nominees for directors named in this Supplement, (2) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, (3) an advisory vote to approve Citis 2013 executive compensation, (4) the approval of the Citigroup 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, and (5) four stockholder proposals.
Eugene M. McQuades Nomination as a Director Candidate
On April 3, 2014, it was announced that, at the request of Citigroups CEO Michael L. Corbat, Eugene M. McQuade, the outgoing CEO of Citibank, N.A., will postpone his retirement and lead the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) process for Citigroup Inc. Mr. McQuade will become Vice Chairman of Citi, remain on the Citibank, N.A. Board of Directors, and report directly to Citis CEO. Due to the importance of this effort and the substantial time commitment required by Mr. McQuades new role, the Board of Directors, in conjunction with Mr. McQuades consent, withdrew his nomination to serve on Citi's Board of Directors.
Election of Directors
As a result of the withdrawal of Mr. McQuades nomination as a director-candidate, the Board has reduced the size of the Board and the number of nominees to be elected at the Annual Meeting from 14 to 13. At the Annual Meeting, the Companys stockholders will be asked to vote on the 13 remaining director nominees: Michael L. Corbat, Duncan P. Hennes, Franz B. Humer, Michael E. ONeill, Gary M. Reiner, Judith Rodin, Robert L. Ryan, Anthony M. Santomero, Joan E. Spero, Diana L. Taylor, William S. Thompson, Jr., James S. Turley, and Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Leon.
