The proposed offering, with Morgan Stanley acting as bookrunning manager, would mark the disposal of a government stake in Citigroup that once stood at about 36 percent as a result of taxpayer bailouts in 2008 and 2009.

The Treasury said it would continue to hold warrants to purchase Citigroup shares issued as part of the bailouts.
