High-Yield Investment: Citi's New Eli Lilly-Linked Note Offers 69% Downside Protection
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings is offering 13-Month Autocallable Securities linked to Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) stock, guaranteed by Citigroup. Key features include:
- Principal Amount: $1,000 per security
- Coupon Rate: Minimum 10.60% per annum, paid monthly
- Term: July 8, 2025 to August 13, 2026
- Automatic Early Redemption: Monthly after 6 months if LLY closes at or above initial value
- Downside Protection: 69% barrier level at maturity
If not automatically called and LLY closes below the 69% barrier at maturity, investors receive LLY shares (or cash equivalent) worth significantly less than principal. Notable risks include potential loss of principal, limited upside potential, credit risk of Citigroup, and limited secondary market liquidity. The securities offer high yield potential but expose investors to substantial downside risk in LLY stock performance.
Positive
- Attractive 10.60% minimum annual coupon paid monthly, providing strong income potential
- Downside protection with barrier at 69% of initial value, preserving principal if LLY stock doesn't fall more than 31%
- Monthly autocall opportunity after 6 months if LLY trades at or above initial price, providing early exit potential
Negative
- Complete loss of principal possible if LLY stock falls below 69% barrier at maturity
- Limited upside potential with no participation in LLY stock gains beyond coupon payments
- Credit risk exposure to Citigroup could result in total loss if issuer defaults
- Early autocall feature may limit returns if LLY performs well, capping upside to coupon payments

Selected Risk Considerations |
|
•You may lose a significant portion or all of your investment. Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not provide for the repayment of the stated principal amount at maturity in all circumstances. If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlying value is less than the final barrier value, you will not receive the stated principal amount of your securities at maturity and, instead, will receive underlying shares of the underlying (or, in our sole discretion, cash based on the value thereof) that will be worth significantly less than the stated principal amount and possibly nothing. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities (excluding the final coupon payment), and you may lose up to all of your investment. •The securities may be automatically redeemed prior to maturity, limiting your opportunity to receive contingent coupons if the underlying performs in a way that would otherwise be favorable. •The securities offer downside exposure, but no upside exposure, to the underlying. •The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. defaults on its obligations under the securities and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive anything owed to you under the securities. •The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity. •The estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than the issue price. For more information about the estimated value of the securities, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement. •The value of the securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors. •The issuer and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest with you. •The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are unclear. |
