Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Equity-Linked Securities tied to the common stock of Tesla, Inc. (TSLA). Each unlisted security has a $1,000 stated principal, prices on 8 Jul 2025, issues on 11 Jul 2025 and, unless called, matures on 13 Jul 2028.

Income mechanics: On each quarterly valuation date, holders receive a 4.0375 % coupon (16.15 % p.a.) only if TSLA’s closing price is at least the coupon-barrier of $146.97 (50 % of the $293.94 initial price). Miss the barrier and the coupon for that quarter is forfeited permanently. Automatic early redemption may occur on any of ten ‘potential autocall dates’ (starting 8 Jan 2026) if TSLA closes at or above the initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the coupon for that period.

Principal mechanics: If not previously called, final repayment depends on TSLA’s final price on 10 Jul 2028. • At or above the final barrier ($146.97): return of principal plus final coupon. • Below the barrier: delivery of 3.40205 TSLA shares (or cash equivalent), exposing investors to full downside; value could be zero.

Structural economics: The securities price at par but carry an estimated value of $975.60, reflecting selling/hedging costs and Citigroup’s internal funding rate. CGMI earns up to $23.50 per note in underwriting fees and may realise additional hedging profits. Notes are unsecured, senior obligations ranking pari passu with Citigroup Global Markets Holdings’ other senior debt and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.

Key risks highlighted: (1) up to 100 % capital loss if TSLA falls >50 %; (2) contingent nature of coupons; (3) call risk truncating income; (4) credit risk of Citigroup entities; (5) no exchange listing, thus limited liquidity; (6) secondary value expected < issue price; (7) complex U.S. tax treatment and potential 30 % withholding for non-U.S. investors.

Target investors are those seeking enhanced yield and willing to accept high equity, volatility, liquidity and credit risks with sophisticated tax considerations.

Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., garantito da Citigroup Inc., offre titoli azionari collegati a cedole contingenti autocallabili legati alle azioni ordinarie di Tesla, Inc. (TSLA). Ogni titolo non quotato ha un valore nominale di 1.000 $, viene quotato il 8 luglio 2025, emesso l' 11 luglio 2025 e, salvo richiamo anticipato, scade il 13 luglio 2028.

Meccanismo dei rendimenti: In ogni data di valutazione trimestrale, i detentori ricevono una cedola del 4,0375 % (16,15 % annuo) soltanto se il prezzo di chiusura di TSLA è almeno pari alla barriera cedolare di 146,97 $ (50 % del prezzo iniziale di 293,94 $). Se la barriera non viene raggiunta, la cedola di quel trimestre è definitivamente persa. Il richiamo automatico anticipato può avvenire in una delle dieci date potenziali di autocall (a partire dall'8 gennaio 2026) se TSLA chiude a o sopra il prezzo iniziale, in tal caso gli investitori ricevono 1.000 $ più la cedola di quel periodo.

Meccanismo del capitale: Se non richiamati precedentemente, il rimborso finale dipende dal prezzo finale di TSLA al 10 luglio 2028. • Pari o superiore alla barriera finale (146,97 $): restituzione del capitale più cedola finale. • Sotto la barriera: consegna di 3,40205 azioni TSLA (o equivalente in contanti), esponendo gli investitori a tutto il rischio di ribasso; il valore potrebbe azzerarsi.

Economia strutturale: I titoli sono emessi a valore nominale ma hanno un valore stimato di 975,60 $, che riflette costi di vendita/copertura e il tasso interno di finanziamento di Citigroup. CGMI guadagna fino a 23,50 $ per nota in commissioni di sottoscrizione e può realizzare profitti aggiuntivi dalla copertura. I titoli sono obbligazioni non garantite, senior, con pari rango rispetto ad altri debiti senior di Citigroup Global Markets Holdings e sono pienamente e incondizionatamente garantiti da Citigroup Inc.

Principali rischi evidenziati: (1) perdita totale del capitale fino al 100 % se TSLA scende oltre il 50 %; (2) natura contingente delle cedole; (3) rischio di richiamo che riduce i rendimenti; (4) rischio di credito delle entità Citigroup; (5) assenza di quotazione in borsa, quindi liquidità limitata; (6) valore secondario atteso inferiore al prezzo di emissione; (7) trattamento fiscale statunitense complesso e possibile ritenuta d'acconto del 30 % per investitori non statunitensi.

Gli investitori target sono quelli che cercano rendimenti superiori e sono disposti ad accettare elevati rischi azionari, di volatilità, liquidità e di credito, con considerazioni fiscali sofisticate.

Juli 2025 ausgegeben und läuft, sofern nicht vorzeitig zurückgerufen, am 13. Juli 2028 ab.

Einkommensmechanik: An jedem quartalsweisen Bewertungstag erhalten Inhaber eine Kuponzahlung von 4,0375 % (16,15 % p.a.) nur, wenn der Schlusskurs von TSLA mindestens die Kupon-Barriere von 146,97 $ (50 % des Anfangskurses von 293,94 $) erreicht. Wird die Barriere verfehlt, verfällt der Kupon für dieses Quartal dauerhaft. Eine automatische vorzeitige Rückzahlung kann an einem der zehn potenziellen Autocall-Termine (beginnend am 8. Januar 2026) erfolgen, wenn TSLA auf oder über dem Anfangskurs schließt; in diesem Fall erhalten Anleger 1.000 $ plus Kupon für diesen Zeitraum.

Kapitalmechanik: Falls nicht vorher zurückgerufen, hängt die endgültige Rückzahlung vom Schlusskurs von TSLA am 10.

Zielinvestoren sind solche, die eine höhere Rendite suchen und bereit sind, hohe Aktien-, Volatilitäts-, Liquiditäts- und Kreditrisiken sowie komplexe steuerliche Aspekte zu akzeptieren.

Positive
  • High contingent coupon of 16.15 % annualised offers materially above-market cash flow if barriers are respected.
  • Full Citigroup Inc. guarantee provides senior unsecured claim on a large investment-grade issuer.
  • Early autocall feature may return capital quickly in favourable TSLA scenarios, boosting IRR.
Negative
  • No principal protection; a ≥50 % decline in TSLA triggers share delivery worth substantially less, potentially zero.
  • Coupons are not fixed; any quarter with TSLA < $146.97 pays nothing, lowering realised yield.
  • Estimated value ($975.60) below issue price embeds ~2.4 % upfront cost to investors.
  • Unlisted security limits secondary liquidity; bid prices subject to CGMI discretion and likely below par.
  • Citigroup credit exposure; payment depends on issuer and guarantor solvency.
  • Complex and uncertain U.S. tax treatment, including potential 30 % withholding for non-U.S. holders.

Insights

TL;DR: High 16.15 % contingent yield but material 50 % downside and early-call risk; fair value below issue price implies negative carry.

Return profile & valuation: Investors are effectively long a fixed-rate contingent coupon and short a put struck 50 % OTM on TSLA, funded by the notes’ credit spread. The $24.40 issue-premium to model value (~2.4 %) covers distribution and hedge costs; buyers pay this up-front. In a flat or modestly rising TSLA scenario, early autocall is probable, capping IRR near the first-year coupon and limiting duration. In adverse scenarios, investors can lose everything while receiving no income.

Risk assessment: • Market risk: TSLA 5-year historical volatility >60 % heightens probability of breaching the 50 % barrier. • Liquidity risk: Unlisted, reliant on CGMI’s discretionary market-making. • Credit risk: Citigroup senior unsecured level; currently investment grade, but spreads could widen before 2028, impacting secondary valuations. • Tax/withholding: Section 871(m) exemption expected through 2026, yet uncertainty remains beyond that date.

Bottom line: Attractive to speculative yield hunters with a strong TSLA price view and tolerance for complex payoff asymmetry. Conservative income investors or those seeking principal protection should avoid.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 10, 2025 (the “Issue Date”), Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (“Cheniere Partners”), a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”), closed the sale of its previously announced offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.550% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Notes”). The sale of the Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Notes were sold on a private placement basis in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 144A and Regulation S thereunder.

Tenth Supplemental Indenture

The Notes were issued on the Issue Date pursuant to the indenture, dated as of September 18, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among Cheniere Partners, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the tenth supplemental indenture, dated as of the Issue Date, among Cheniere Partners, the Guarantors and the Trustee, relating to the Notes (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”). The Base Indenture as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Notes Indenture.”

Under the terms of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, the Notes will mature on October 30, 2035 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to 5.550% per annum on the principal amount from the Issue Date, with such interest payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on April 30 and October 30 of each year, beginning on April 30, 2026.

The Notes are Cheniere Partners’ senior unsecured obligations, ranking equally in right of payment with the Partnership’s other existing and future unsubordinated debt and senior in right of payment to any of its future subordinated debt. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by each of Cheniere Partners’ current and future subsidiaries that guarantee Cheniere Partners’ revolving credit facility from time to time.

At any time or from time to time prior to April 30, 2035 (the “Par Call Date”), Cheniere Partners may, at its option, redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) a specified make-whole redemption price set forth in the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, in either case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On and after the Par Call Date, Cheniere Partners may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the applicable redemption date.

The Notes Indenture also contains customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Cheniere Partners and the Guarantors to incur liens, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the applicable entity’s properties or assets. The Notes Indenture covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Base Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, which is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Base Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report dated September 18, 2017, filed by Cheniere Partners on Form 8-K. Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed to them in the Notes Indenture.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Cheniere Partners, the Guarantors and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Santander US Capital Markets LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Issue Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Cheniere Partners and the Guarantors have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange any and all of the Notes, for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of Cheniere


Partners issued under the Notes Indenture and identical in all material respects to the respective Notes sought to be exchanged (other than with respect to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate), and that are registered under the Securities Act. Cheniere Partners and the Guarantors have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 360 days after the Issue Date. Under specified circumstances, Cheniere Partners and the Guarantors have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes. Cheniere Partners will be obligated to pay additional interest if it fails to comply with its obligations to register the Notes within the specified time periods.

This description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

FAQ

What coupon rate do Citigroup's TSLA-linked notes pay?

They pay a 4.0375 % quarterly coupon (16.15 % annualised) only when Tesla’s closing price is ≥ $146.97 on the relevant valuation date.

When can the notes be automatically called?

On any of ten quarterly valuation dates from 8 Jan 2026 onward if TSLA closes at or above the $293.94 initial price.

What happens at maturity if Tesla falls more than 50 %?

Investors receive 3.40205 TSLA shares (or cash equivalent) per note, exposing them to further downside and possible total loss.

Are the securities listed on an exchange?

No. The notes are not exchange-listed; liquidity depends on Citigroup Global Markets Inc.’s discretionary secondary market.

Why is the estimated value ($975.60) below the $1,000 issue price?

The difference reflects underwriting fees, hedging costs and Citigroup’s internal funding rate, effectively an embedded 2.4 % investor cost.

What credit risk do investors bear?

Payments rely on Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and are fully guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.; both are senior unsecured obligations.

How are non-U.S. investors taxed on these notes?

Withholding agents may deduct 30 % on coupon payments; Section 871(m) exemption is expected through 2026 but future tax treatment is uncertain.
