[424B2] Citigroup Inc. Prospectus Supplement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. is offering $3.9 million of Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. The notes settle 14 July 2025 and have a scheduled maturity of 14 July 2027 (≈ 2 years) unless automatically called earlier.

Coupon structure. The notes pay no periodic interest. Instead, beginning six months after issuance the issuer will observe the S&P 500 on seven quarterly valuation dates. If the closing level on any date is at or above the initial level (6,280.46), the notes are automatically called for the stated principal plus a call return of 9.10 % p.a. The call price rises from $10.455 (4.55 %) on the first valuation date to $11.82 (18.20 %) on the final valuation date.

Principal at risk. If the notes are not called, repayment at maturity depends on the final index level. Investors receive full principal only if the index is at least 80 % of the initial level (downside threshold = 5,024.37). Below that threshold, repayment equals $10 × (1 + index return), exposing holders to 100 % of the index’s downside. There is no minimum payment; a total loss is possible.

Key terms and costs. • Issue price: $10.00 per note; estimated value: $9.803 (reflects distribution and hedging costs). • Underwriting discount: $0.15 per note (1.5 %). • Minimum investment: 100 notes. • CUSIP/ISIN: 17332B884 / US17332B8845. • The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the issuer and rank pari passu with its other senior debt.
• The notes will not be listed on any exchange; secondary liquidity, if any, will be provided by CGMI on a best-efforts basis.

Risk highlights. Investors face credit risk of both Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.; potential loss of principal; limited upside capped at the call return; lack of interest payments; valuation and liquidity risk; and uncertain U.S. tax treatment (prepaid forward vs. debt characterization). The pricing supplement contains extensive risk factors beginning on page PS-7.

Positive

• Call return of up to 18.20 % (9.10 % p.a.) if the S&P 500 closes at or above its initial level on a valuation date.
• 20 % downside buffer; full principal is repaid at maturity provided the index does not fall more than 20 %.
• Full and unconditional guarantee by Citigroup Inc., aligning credit risk with the parent’s senior unsecured obligations.

Negative

• Unlimited downside below the 80 % threshold; investors may lose their entire principal.
• No periodic interest, reducing cash-flow benefits versus conventional bonds.
• Estimated value ($9.803) is below the $10 issue price, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs.
• Notes are not exchange-listed; secondary liquidity is limited to dealer willingness.
• Uncertain U.S. tax treatment; IRS could re-characterize the product as debt with OID.
• Credit exposure to Citigroup; default would eliminate all promised payments.

Insights

Structured Products Analyst

TL;DR: 2-year autocall notes offer 9.1 % p.a. capped upside, 20 % buffer, full credit and equity risk.

The instrument is a short-dated yield substitute aimed at investors willing to trade equity participation for a fixed, capped return. The quarterly autocall feature means most scenarios terminate early, limiting exposure but also total return. At $3.9 million, the deal is immaterial for Citigroup’s funding mix, yet relevant for retail note buyers. The 20 % downside buffer is typical for U.S. market-linked notes; historical SPX drawdowns suggest non-negligible breach risk. Pricing shows a 1.97 % embedded cost (issue price – estimated value), consistent with peer offerings. Liquidity is dealer-driven; exit pricing will incorporate bid-ask and hedging unwind costs. Impact to Citi equity holders is neutral; for note investors, risk/return is acceptable only for those confident SPX remains ≥ 80 % of 6,280 over two years.

Credit & Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Noteholders assume Citi senior credit risk plus uncapped SPX downside beyond 20 %.

The notes rank pari passu with Citi Global Markets Holdings’ senior unsecured debt and are guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. Recent rating stability at the parent helps, but widening credit spreads would quickly erode secondary values. The lack of interest income increases carry-cost sensitivity. Valuation relies on Citi’s internal funding rate; a secondary-market rate would lower the modeled value, underscoring potential mark-to-market losses. Tax classification uncertainty (prepaid forward vs. OID debt) could generate adverse tax liabilities, especially if future IRS guidance changes. Investors must be prepared to hold to maturity in light of the no-listing clause.

All payments due on the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.

Investment Description

The Trigger Autocallable Notes (the “notes”) are unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (the “issuer”), guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. (the “guarantor”), linked to the performance of the S&P 500^® Index (the “underlying”).  If the closing level of the underlying is greater than or equal to the initial underlying level on any valuation date (beginning six months after issuance), we will automatically call the notes and pay you a call price equal to the stated principal amount per note plus a call return based on the call return rate.  The call return increases the longer the notes are outstanding, as described below, based on a fixed call return rate per annum.  If by maturity the notes have not been called (including on the final valuation date), the amount you receive at maturity will depend on the final underlying level.  If the final underlying level is less than the initial underlying level but greater than or equal to the downside threshold, we will repay the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity.  However, if the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold, you will receive less than the stated principal amount of your notes, and possibly nothing, at maturity, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the decline in the closing level of the underlying from the trade date to the final valuation date, up to a 100% loss of your investment.

Investing in the notes involves significant risks.  You may lose a substantial portion or all of your initial investment.  You will not receive dividends or other distributions paid on any stocks included in the underlying.  The notes do not pay interest.  The contingent repayment of the stated principal amount applies only if you hold the notes to maturity.  Any payment on the notes, including any repayment of the stated principal amount, is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer and the guarantor and is not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. If the issuer and the guarantor were to default on their payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.

Features	 	Key Dates
q    Call Return — We will automatically call the notes for a call price equal to the stated principal amount plus a call return based on the call return rate if the closing level of the underlying is greater than or equal to the initial underlying level on any valuation date (beginning six months after issuance).  The call return increases the longer the notes are outstanding, based on a fixed call return rate per annum.  If the notes are not called, investors may have full downside market exposure to the underlying at maturity. q    Downside Exposure with Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity — If by maturity the notes have not been called and the final underlying level is less than the initial underlying level but greater than or equal to the downside threshold, we will pay the stated principal amount of the notes at maturity. However, if by maturity the notes have not been called and the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold, you will receive less than the stated principal amount of your notes, and possibly nothing, at maturity.  The resulting loss will be proportionate to the full negative underlying return. Any payment on the notes is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer and guarantor. If the issuer and the guarantor were to default on their obligations, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.	 	Trade date	July 10, 2025

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: The notes are significantly riskier than conventional debt INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE STATED PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTES AT MATURITY, AND the notes CAN have downside MARKET risk SIMILAR TO the underlying. This MARKET risk is in addition to the CREDIT risk INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS HOLDINGS INC. THAT IS GUARANTEED BY CITIGROUP INC.  You should not PURCHASE the notes if you do not understand or are not comfortable with the significant risks INVOLVED in INVESTING IN the notes.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER ‘‘SUMMARY RISK FACTORS’’ BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-7 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT AND UNDER ‘‘RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE SECURITIES’’ BEGINNING ON PAGE EA-7 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PURCHASE OF THE NOTES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR NOTES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.  THE NOTES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE AND MAY HAVE LIMITED OR NO LIQUIDITY.

Summary Risk Factors

 

An investment in the notes is significantly riskier than an investment in conventional debt securities.  The notes are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in our conventional debt securities (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.), including the risk that we and Citigroup Inc. may default on our obligations under the notes, and are also subject to risks associated with the underlying.  Accordingly, the notes are suitable only for investors who are capable of understanding the complexities and risks of the notes.  You should consult your own financial, tax and legal advisers as to the risks of an investment in the notes and the suitability of the notes in light of your particular circumstances.

 

The following is a summary of certain key risk factors for investors in the notes.  You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of risks relating to an investment in the notes contained in the section “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” beginning on page EA-7 in the accompanying product supplement.  You should also carefully read the risk factors included in the accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, including Citigroup Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which describe risks relating to the business of Citigroup Inc. more generally.  

 

¨ You may lose some or all of your investment — The notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily repay the full stated principal amount of your notes at maturity.  Instead, your return on the notes is linked to the performance of the underlying and, if the notes are not automatically called, will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold.  If the notes are not automatically called on any of the valuation dates and the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the notes for every 1% by which the final underlying level is less than the initial underlying level.  There is no minimum payment at maturity on the notes, and you may lose up to all of your investment in the notes.

 

¨ The appreciation potential of the notes is limited — Your potential total return on the notes at maturity or upon earlier automatic call is limited to the call return, which will only be received if the notes are called. Because the call return increases the longer the notes have been outstanding and because the notes could be called as early as six months after the settlement date, you may not receive the call return associated with a later valuation date. You will not participate in any potential appreciation of the underlying even though you may be subject to its full downside performance. As a result, the return on an investment in the notes may be significantly less than the return on a hypothetical direct investment in the underlying.

 

¨ The repayment of principal is contingent, and you will have full downside exposure to the underlying if the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold — If the notes are not automatically called on any of the valuation dates and, on the final valuation date, the closing level of the underlying is less than the initial underlying level but greater than or equal to the downside threshold, you will receive your stated principal amount at maturity.  However, if the final underlying level is below the downside threshold, the contingent repayment of principal will not apply, and you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the notes for every 1% by which the final underlying level is less than the initial underlying level.  The notes will have full downside exposure to the decline of the underlying if the final underlying level is below the downside threshold.  As a result, you may lose your entire investment in the notes.  Further, this contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the notes to maturity.  If you are able to sell the notes prior to maturity, you may have to sell them for a loss even if the level of the underlying is greater than the downside threshold at that time.  See “The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors” below.

 

¨ The notes do not pay interest — Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not pay interest or any other amounts prior to maturity or earlier automatic call. You should not invest in the notes if you seek current income during the term of the notes.

 

¨ Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying or the stocks that constitute the underlying — You will not have voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the underlying. The payment scenarios described in this pricing supplement do not show any effect of lost dividend yield over the term of the notes.  You should understand that the underlying is not a total return index, which means that it does not reflect dividends paid on the stocks included in the underlying. Therefore, the return on your notes will not reflect any reinvestment of dividends.  

 

¨ The probability that the underlying will fall below the downside threshold on the final valuation date will depend in part on the volatility of the underlying — “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the level of the underlying.  In general, the greater the volatility of the underlying, the greater the probability that the underlying will experience a large decline over the term of the notes and fall below the downside threshold on the final valuation date.  The underlying has historically experienced significant volatility.  As a result, there is a significant risk that the underlying will fall below the downside threshold on the final valuation date and that you will incur a significant loss on your investment in the notes.  The terms of the notes are set, in part, based on expectations about the volatility of the underlying as of the trade date.  If expectations about the volatility of the underlying change over the term of the notes, the value of the notes may be adversely affected, and if the actual volatility of the underlying proves to be greater than initially expected, the notes may prove to be riskier than expected on the trade date.

 

¨ The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. — Any payment on the notes will be made by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and is guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., and therefore is subject to the credit risk of both Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.  If we default on our obligations under the notes and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive any payments that become due under the notes.  As a result, the value of the notes prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of our and Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness.  Any decline, or anticipated decline, in either of our or Citigroup Inc.’s credit ratings or increase, or anticipated increase, in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking either of our or Citigroup Inc.’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes.

 

PS-7 

 

¨ The performance of the notes will depend on the closing level of the underlying solely on the valuation dates — The performance of the notes (including whether the notes are automatically called and, if they are not called, the amount of your payment at maturity) will depend on the closing level of the underlying only on the valuation dates.  You will not receive the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity if the closing level of the underlying on the final valuation date is less than the downside threshold, even if the closing level of the underlying is greater than the downside threshold on other days during the term of the notes.  Moreover, your notes will be automatically called prior to maturity if the closing level of the underlying is greater than or equal to the initial underlying level on any valuation date, even if the closing level of the underlying is less than the initial underlying level on other days during the term of the notes.  Because the performance of the notes depends on the closing level of the underlying on a small number of dates, the performance of the notes will be particularly sensitive to volatility in the closing level of the underlying, particularly around the valuation dates.  You should understand that the level of the underlying has historically been highly volatile.  See “The S&P 500^® Index” in this pricing supplement.

 

¨ The notes may be automatically called prior to maturity — Beginning six months after issuance, on any valuation date occurring quarterly during the term of the notes, the notes will be automatically called if the closing level of the underlying on that valuation date is greater than or equal to the initial underlying level.  Thus, the term of the notes may be limited to as short as six months.  The earlier the notes are automatically called, the lower the amount of the call return you will receive.  If the notes are automatically called prior to maturity, you may not be able to reinvest your funds in another investment that provides a similar yield with a similar level of risk.

 

¨ The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes.  CGMI currently intends to make a secondary market in relation to the notes and to provide an indicative bid price for the notes on a daily basis.  Any indicative bid price for the notes provided by CGMI will be determined in CGMI’s sole discretion, taking into account prevailing market conditions and other relevant factors, and will not be a representation by CGMI that the notes can be sold at that price, or at all.  CGMI may suspend or terminate making a market and providing indicative bid prices without notice, at any time and for any reason.  If CGMI suspends or terminates making a market, there may be no secondary market at all for the notes because it is likely that CGMI will be the only broker-dealer that is willing to buy your notes prior to maturity.  Accordingly, an investor must be prepared to hold the notes until maturity.

 

¨ The estimated value of the notes on the trade date, based on CGMI’s proprietary pricing models and our internal funding rate, is less than the issue price — The difference is attributable to certain costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes that are included in the issue price.  These costs include (i) the underwriting discount paid in connection with the offering of the notes, (ii) hedging and other costs incurred by us and our affiliates in connection with the offering of the notes and (iii) the expected profit (which may be more or less than actual profit) to CGMI or other of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes.  These costs adversely affect the economic terms of the notes because, if they were lower, the economic terms of the notes would be more favorable to you.  The economic terms of the notes are also likely to be adversely affected by the use of our internal funding rate, rather than our secondary market rate, to price the notes.  See “The estimated value of the notes would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary market rate” below.

 

¨ The estimated value of the notes was determined for us by our affiliate using proprietary pricing models — CGMI derived the estimated value disclosed on the cover page of this pricing supplement from its proprietary pricing models.  In doing so, it may have made discretionary judgments about the inputs to its models, such as the volatility of the underlying, dividend yields on the stocks that constitute the underlying and interest rates.  CGMI’s views on these inputs may differ from your or others’ views, and as an underwriter in this offering, CGMI’s interests may conflict with yours.  Both the models and the inputs to the models may prove to be wrong and therefore not an accurate reflection of the value of the notes.  Moreover, the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement may differ from the value that we or our affiliates may determine for the notes for other purposes, including for accounting purposes.  You should not invest in the notes because of the estimated value of the notes. Instead, you should be willing to hold the notes to maturity irrespective of the initial estimated value.

 

¨ The estimated value of the notes would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary market rate — The estimated value of the notes included in this pricing supplement is calculated based on our internal funding rate, which is the rate at which we are willing to borrow funds through the issuance of the notes.  Our internal funding rate is generally lower than our secondary market rate, which is the rate that CGMI will use in determining the value of the notes for purposes of any purchases of the notes from you in the secondary market.  If the estimated value included in this pricing supplement were based on our secondary market rate, rather than our internal funding rate, it would likely be lower.  We determine our internal funding rate based on factors such as the costs associated with the notes, which are generally higher than the costs associated with conventional debt securities, and our liquidity needs and preferences.  Our internal funding rate is not an interest rate that we will pay to investors in the notes, which do not bear interest.  

 

Because there is not an active market for traded instruments referencing our outstanding debt obligations, CGMI determines our secondary market rate based on the market price of traded instruments referencing the debt obligations of Citigroup Inc., our parent company and the guarantor of all payments due on the notes, but subject to adjustments that CGMI makes in its sole discretion.  As a result, our secondary market rate is not a market-determined measure of our creditworthiness, but rather reflects the market’s perception of our parent company’s creditworthiness as adjusted for discretionary factors such as CGMI’s preferences with respect to purchasing the notes prior to maturity.

 

¨ The estimated value of the notes is not an indication of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the notes from you in the secondary market — Any such secondary market price will fluctuate over the term of the notes based on the market and other factors described in the next risk factor.  Moreover, unlike the estimated value included in this pricing

 

PS-8 

 

supplement, any value of the notes determined for purposes of a secondary market transaction will be based on our secondary market rate, which will likely result in a lower value for the notes than if our internal funding rate were used.  In addition, any secondary market price for the notes will be reduced by a bid-ask spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate stated principal amount of the notes to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding related hedging transactions.  As a result, it is likely that any secondary market price for the notes will be less than the issue price.

 

¨ The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors — As described under “Valuation of the Notes” below, the payout on the notes could be replicated by a hypothetical package of financial instruments consisting of a fixed-income bond and one or more derivative instruments.  As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income bonds and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the notes at issuance and the value of the notes prior to maturity.  Accordingly, the value of your notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on the level and volatility of the underlying, dividend yields on the stocks that constitute the underlying, interest rates generally, the time remaining to maturity and our and Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness, as reflected in our secondary market rate.  Changes in the level of the underlying may not result in a comparable change in the value of your notes.  You should understand that the value of your notes at any time prior to maturity may be significantly less than the issue price.  The stated payout from the issuer, including the call return, only applies if you hold the notes to maturity or earlier automatic call, as applicable.

 

¨ Immediately following issuance, any secondary market bid price provided by CGMI, and the value that will be indicated on any brokerage account statements prepared by CGMI or its affiliates, will reflect a temporary upward adjustment — The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero over the temporary adjustment period.  See “Valuation of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

 

¨ Our offering of the notes is not a recommendation of the underlying — The fact that we are offering the notes does not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument linked to the underlying is likely to achieve favorable returns. In fact, as we are part of a global financial institution, our affiliates may have positions (including short positions) in the stocks included in the underlying or in instruments related to the underlying or such stocks, and may publish research or express opinions, that in each case are inconsistent with an investment linked to the underlying. These and other activities of our affiliates may affect the level of the underlying in a way that has a negative impact on your interests as a holder of the notes.

 

¨ Our affiliates, or UBS or its affiliates, may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the notes — Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the level of the underlying and the value of the notes.  Our affiliates, and UBS and its affiliates, publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that may be inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes.  Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by our affiliates or by UBS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice.  These and other activities of our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates may adversely affect the level of the underlying and may have a negative impact on your interests as a holder of the notes.  Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes and the underlying to which the notes are linked.

 

¨ Trading and other transactions by our affiliates, or by UBS or its affiliates, in the equity and equity derivative markets may impair the value of the notes — We have hedged our exposure under the notes through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who have entered into equity and/or equity derivative transactions, such as over-the-counter options or exchange-traded instruments, relating to the underlying or the stocks included in the underlying and may adjust such positions during the term of the notes.  It is possible that our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the value of the notes declines.  Our affiliates and UBS and its affiliates may also engage in trading in instruments linked to the underlying on a regular basis as part of their respective general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for customers, including block transactions.  Such trading and hedging activities may affect the level of the underlying and reduce the return on your investment in the notes.  Our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to the underlying.  By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates could adversely affect the value of the notes.  Any of the foregoing activities described in this paragraph may reflect trading strategies that differ from, or are in direct opposition to, investors’ trading and investment strategies relating to the notes.

 

¨ Our affiliates, or UBS or its affiliates, may have economic interests that are adverse to yours as a result of their respective business activities — Our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with the issuers of the stocks included in the underlying, including extending loans to, making equity investments in or providing advisory services to such issuers. In the course of this business, our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates may acquire non-public information about those issuers, which they will not disclose to you. Moreover, if any of our affiliates or UBS or any of its affiliates is or becomes a creditor of any such issuer, they may exercise any remedies against that issuer that are available to them without regard to your interests.

 

¨ The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the notes — If certain events occur, such as market disruption events or the discontinuance of the underlying, CGMI, as calculation agent, will be required to make discretionary judgments that could significantly affect what you receive at maturity. Such judgments could include, among other things, any level required to be determined under the notes.  In addition, if certain events occur, CGMI will be required to make certain discretionary judgments that could significantly affect your payment at maturity.  Such judgments could include, among other things:

 

¨ determining whether a market disruption event has occurred;

 

PS-9 

 

¨ if a market disruption event occurs on any valuation date, determining whether to postpone that valuation date;

 

¨ determining the level of the underlying if the level of the underlying is not otherwise available or a market disruption event has occurred; and

 

¨ selecting a successor underlying or performing an alternative calculation of the level of the underlying if the underlying is discontinued or materially modified (see “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Index—Discontinuance or Material Modification of an Underlying Index” in the accompanying product supplement).

 

In making these judgments, the calculation agent’s interests as an affiliate of ours could be adverse to your interests as a holder of the notes.

 

¨ Adjustments to the underlying may affect the value of your notes — S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “underlying publisher”) may add, delete or substitute the stocks that constitute the underlying or make other methodological changes that could affect the level of the underlying. The underlying publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying at any time without regard to your interests as holders of the notes.

 

¨ The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes are unclear — There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the notes, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).  Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the notes as prepaid forward contracts.  If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the notes, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes might be materially and adversely affected.  For example, as discussed below, there is a substantial risk that the IRS could seek to treat the notes as debt instruments.  Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the notes, possibly retroactively.

 

If you are a non-U.S. investor, you should review the discussion of withholding tax issues in “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders” below.

 

You should read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement.  You should also consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Hypothetical Examples

 

Hypothetical terms only. Actual terms may vary. See the cover page for actual offering terms.

 

The examples below illustrate the hypothetical payment upon automatic call or at maturity for a $10.00 stated principal amount note with the following assumptions*:

 

Stated principal amount:	$10.00
Term:	2 years (unless earlier called)
Hypothetical initial underlying level:	100.00
Hypothetical downside threshold:	80.00 (which is 80% of the hypothetical initial underlying level)
Hypothetical call return rate:	9.00% per annum
Valuation dates:	Valuation dates will occur quarterly (beginning six months after issuance) as set forth on page PS-6 in this pricing supplement.

 

*(i) The hypothetical call return rate per annum may not represent the actual call return rate per annum and (ii) the hypothetical initial underlying level and downside threshold may not represent the actual initial underlying level and downside threshold, respectively, applicable to the notes. The actual call return rate, initial underlying level and downside threshold for the notes are listed on the cover page of this pricing supplement.

 

Example 1 — Notes are Called on the First Valuation Date

 

Closing level on first valuation date:	110.00 (greater than or equal to initial underlying level, notes are called)
Call price (per $10.00 stated principal amount):	$10.45

 

Because the notes are called on the first valuation date, we would pay you on the applicable call settlement date a total call price of $10.45 per $10.00 stated principal amount (a total return on the notes of 4.50%).

 

Example 2 — Notes are Called on the Final Valuation Date; the Final Underlying Level is Greater Than the Initial Underlying Level

 

Closing level on first through sixth valuation dates:	Various (all less than initial underlying level, notes NOT called)
Closing level on final valuation date:	106.00 (greater than the initial underlying level, notes called)
Payment at maturity (per $10.00 stated principal amount):	$10.00 + call return $10.00 + $1.80 $11.80

 

Because the final underlying level is greater than the initial underlying level on the final valuation date, the notes are called and we would pay you at maturity a total of $11.80 (the $10.00 stated principal amount plus the call return of 18.00%).

 

Example 3 — Notes are NOT Called on the Final Valuation Date; the Final Underlying Level is Greater Than the Downside Threshold but Less Than the Initial Underlying Level

 

Closing level on first through sixth valuation dates:	Various (all less than initial underlying level, notes NOT called)
Closing level on final valuation date:	85.00 (greater than the downside threshold but less than the initial underlying level, notes NOT called)
Payment at maturity (per $10.00 stated principal amount):	$10.00

 

Because the final underlying level is greater than the downside threshold but less than the initial underlying level on the final valuation date, the notes are not called and we would pay you at maturity a total of $10.00 per $10.00 stated principal amount (0.00% total return).

 

Example 4 — Notes are NOT Called and the Final Underlying Level is Less Than the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date

 

Closing level on first through sixth valuation dates:	Various (all less than initial underlying level, notes NOT called)
Closing level on final valuation date:	30.00 (less than initial underlying level and downside threshold, notes NOT called)
Payment at maturity (per $10.00 stated principal amount):	$10.00 × (1 + underlying return) $10.00 × (1 + –70.00%) $10.00 × 0.30 $3.00

 

Because the notes are not called and the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold on the final valuation date, we would pay you at maturity a total of $3.00 per $10.00 stated principal amount (a 70.00% loss on the notes).

United States Federal Tax Considerations

You should read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “Summary Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement.  

 

Due to the lack of any controlling legal authority, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes. In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, which is based on current market conditions, it is reasonable under current law to treat a note as a prepaid forward contract for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  However, our counsel has advised us that it is unable to conclude affirmatively that this treatment is more likely than not to be upheld, and that alternative treatments are possible.

 

Assuming this treatment of the notes is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law:

 

· You should not recognize taxable income over the term of the notes prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.

 

· Upon a sale or exchange of a note (including retirement at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in the note.  Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the note for more than one year.

 

We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the notes. An alternative characterization of the notes could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the notes, including the timing and character of income recognized.  In particular, due to the terms of the notes, there is a substantial risk that the IRS could seek to treat the notes as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that event, you would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the notes every year at a “comparable yield” determined as of the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the notes as ordinary income. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding possible alternative tax treatments of the notes and potential changes in applicable law.

 

Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to the discussions below and in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the notes, you generally should not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any amount paid to you with respect to the notes, provided that (i) income in respect of the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements.

 

As discussed under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities (“U.S. Underlying Equities”) or indices that include U.S. Underlying Equities.  Section 871(m) generally applies to instruments that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more U.S. Underlying Equities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations.  However, the regulations, as modified by an IRS notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta” of one.  Based on the terms of the notes and representations provided by us, our counsel is of the opinion that the notes should not be treated as transactions that have a “delta” of one within the meaning of the regulations with respect to any U.S. Underlying Equity and, therefore, should not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m).

 

A determination that the notes are not subject to Section 871(m) is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this treatment.  Moreover, Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including your other transactions.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.

 

If withholding tax applies to the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.

 

You should read the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement.  The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the notes.  

 

You should also consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the notes and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

 

CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and the lead agent for the sale of the notes, will receive an underwriting discount of $0.15 for each note sold in this offering.  UBS, as agent for sales of the notes, has agreed to purchase from CGMI, and CGMI has agreed to sell to UBS, all of the notes sold in this offering for $9.85 per note.  UBS proposes to offer the notes to the public at a price of $10.00 per note.  UBS will receive an underwriting discount of $0.15 per note for each note it sells to the public.  The underwriting discount will be received by UBS and its financial advisors collectively.  If all of the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, CGMI may change the public offering price and other selling terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the underwriting discount will not be rebated if the notes are automatically called prior to maturity.

 

See “Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement and “Plan of Distribution” in each of the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for additional information.

 

Valuation of the Notes

 

CGMI calculated the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on proprietary pricing models.  CGMI’s proprietary pricing models generated an estimated value for the notes by estimating the value of a hypothetical package of financial instruments that would replicate the payout on the notes, which consists of a fixed-income bond (the “bond component”) and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the notes (the “derivative component”).  CGMI calculated the estimated value of the bond component using a discount rate based on our internal funding rate.  CGMI calculated the estimated value of the derivative component based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model, which generated a theoretical price for the instruments that constitute the derivative component based on various inputs, including the factors described under “Summary Risk Factors—The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors” in this pricing supplement, but not including our or Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness.  These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by CGMI in its discretionary judgment.

 

During a temporary adjustment period immediately following issuance of the notes, the price, if any, at which CGMI would be willing to buy the notes from investors, and the value that will be indicated for the notes on any account statements prepared by CGMI or its affiliates (which value CGMI may also publish through one or more financial information vendors), will reflect a temporary upward adjustment from the price or value that would otherwise be determined.  This temporary upward adjustment represents a portion of the hedging profit expected to be realized by CGMI or its affiliates over the term of the notes.  The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero over the temporary adjustment period.  CGMI currently expects that the temporary adjustment period will be approximately five months, but the actual length of the temporary adjustment period may be shortened due to various factors, such as the volume of secondary market purchases of the notes and other factors that cannot be predicted.  However, CGMI is not obligated to buy the notes from investors at any time.  See “Summary Risk Factors—The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.”

 

Validity of the Notes

 

In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special products counsel to Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment therefor, such notes and the related guarantee of Citigroup Inc. will be valid and binding obligations of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc., respectively, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date of this pricing supplement and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, except that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the application of state securities or Blue Sky laws to the notes.

 

In giving this opinion, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has assumed the legal conclusions expressed in the opinions set forth below of Alexia Breuvart, Secretary and General Counsel of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., and Karen Wang, Senior Vice President – Corporate Securities Issuance Legal of Citigroup Inc.  In addition, this opinion is subject to the assumptions set forth in the letter of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP dated February 14, 2024, which has been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Citigroup Inc. on February 14, 2024, that the indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of, the trustee and that none of the terms of the notes nor the issuance and delivery of the notes and the related guarantee, nor the compliance by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. with the terms of the notes and the related guarantee respectively, will result in a violation of any provision of any instrument or agreement then binding upon Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. or Citigroup Inc., as applicable, or any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. or Citigroup Inc., as applicable.

 

In the opinion of Alexia Breuvart, Secretary and General Counsel of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., (i) the terms of the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been duly established under the indenture and the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. has duly authorized the issuance and sale of such notes and such authorization has not been modified or rescinded; (ii) Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York; (iii) the indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.; and (iv) the execution and delivery of such indenture and of the notes offered by this pricing supplement by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., and the performance by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. of its obligations thereunder, are within its corporate powers and do not contravene

FAQ

What is the call return rate on Citigroup's (C) Trigger Autocallable Notes?

The notes offer a 9.10 % fixed call return rate per annum, translating to a maximum 18.20 % payment if held to the final valuation date.

When can the notes be automatically called?

Beginning 12 January 2026 and every quarter thereafter, the notes are called if the S&P 500 closes at or above the initial level (6,280.46).

How much principal protection do investors have?

Principal is protected only if, at maturity, the S&P 500 remains at or above the downside threshold of 5,024.37 (80 % of initial). Below that, losses mirror the index decline.

Do the notes pay interest like traditional bonds?

No. The structure provides no periodic coupons; investor return is limited to the contingent call payment.

Is there a liquid secondary market for these notes?

The notes will not be listed. CGMI may provide bid quotes but can suspend market-making at any time.

What is the credit risk associated with the notes?

Payments rely on Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.; a default by either could result in total loss.

Why is the estimated value below the issue price?

The $9.803 estimated value reflects underwriting fees, hedging costs, and Citi’s internal funding rate, which reduce the economic value versus the $10 offering price.
