Investment Description

 

· Linked to the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying”)

· Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest, do not guarantee the repayment of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic early redemption on a periodic basis on the terms described below. Your return on the securities will depend on the performance of the underlying.

· Automatic Call. If the closing value of the underlying on any valuation date (including the final valuation date) is greater than or equal to the initial underlying value, the securities will be automatically called for redemption for an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount plus the call premium applicable to that valuation date. The call premium applicable to each valuation date will be a percentage of the stated principal amount that increases for each valuation date based on a simple (non-compounding) return of 7% per annum.

· Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called for redemption prior to or at maturity, you will receive the stated principal amount at maturity if, and only if, the final underlying value is greater than or equal to the trigger value. If the final underlying value is less than the trigger value, you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the stated principal amount of your securities.

· The trigger value is equal to 85% of the initial underlying value.

· If the securities are not automatically called for redemption prior to or at maturity, you will have full downside exposure to the underlying from the initial underlying value if the final underlying value is less than the trigger value.

· All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.; if Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. default on their obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment.

· No periodic interest payments or dividends.

· The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and, accordingly, may have limited or no liquidity. You should not invest in the securities unless you are willing to hold them to maturity.

On the date of the related pricing supplement, the estimated value of the securities is $971.90 per security, which is less than the public offering price. The estimated value of the securities is based on CGMI’s proprietary pricing models and Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.’s internal funding rate. It is not an indication of actual profit to CGMI or other of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.’s affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you at any time after issuance. See “Valuation of the Securities” in the accompanying pricing supplement.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 in this term sheet, “Summary Risk Factors” in the accompanying pricing supplement, “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This term sheet should be read in conjunction with the accompanying pricing supplement, product supplement, underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus.

 

NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY

 

 

 

Automatic Call

 

If the closing value of the underlying on any valuation date (including the final valuation date) is greater than or equal to the initial underlying value, the securities will be automatically called for redemption on the related call settlement date for an amount in cash per security equal to $1,000 plus the call premium applicable to that valuation date.

 

Any positive return on the securities will be limited to the applicable call premium, even if the closing value of the underlying on the applicable valuation date significantly exceeds the initial underlying value. You will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying beyond the applicable call premium.

 

The call settlement date for any valuation date is the fifth business day after such valuation date, except that the call settlement date for the final valuation date shall be the maturity date.

 

If the securities are automatically called for redemption, they will cease to be outstanding on the related call settlement date and you will have no further rights under the securities after such call settlement date. You will not receive any notice from us if the securities are automatically called.

 

Call Premium

 

The call premium applicable to each valuation date is indicated below.

 

Valuation Date Call Premium  
· April 30, 2020: 3.50% of the stated principal amount
· October 30, 2020: 7.00% of the stated principal amount
· April 30, 2021: 10.50% of the stated principal amount
· November 1, 2021: 14.00% of the stated principal amount
· May 2, 2022: 17.50% of the stated principal amount
· October 31, 2022: 21.00% of the stated principal amount
· May 1, 2023: 24.50% of the stated principal amount
· October 30, 2023: 28.00% of the stated principal amount

 

Hypothetical Examples

 

The table below illustrates how the amount payable per security will be calculated if the closing value of the underlying on any valuation date (including the final valuation date) is greater than or equal to the initial underlying value.

 

If the first valuation date on which the closing value of the underlying is greater than or equal to the initial underlying value is . . . . . . then you will receive the following payment per $1,000 security upon automatic call:
April 30, 2020 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $35.00 = $1,035.00
October 30, 2020 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $70.00 = $1,070.00
April 30, 2021 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $105.00 = $1,105.00
November 1, 2021 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $140.00 = $1,140.00
May 2, 2022 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $175.00 = $1,175.00
October 31, 2022 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $210.00 = $1,210.00
May 1, 2023 $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $245.00 = $1,245.00
October 30, 2023 (the final valuation date) $1,000 + applicable call premium = $1,000 + $280.00 = $1,280.00

Hypothetical Returns

 

If the securities are automatically called for redemption:

 

If the securities are automatically called for redemption prior to or at maturity, you will receive the stated principal amount of your securities plus the call premium applicable to the related valuation date. In the event the securities are automatically called for redemption following any valuation date, your total return on the securities will equal the applicable call premium received with respect to that valuation date.

 

If the securities are not automatically called for redemption:

 

If the securities are not automatically called for redemption prior to or at maturity, the table below is based on a range of hypothetical underlying returns and illustrates:

 

the hypothetical underlying return;

 

the hypothetical payment at maturity per security; and

 

the hypothetical total pre-tax rate of return.

Payment at Maturity

 

If the securities are not automatically called for redemption prior to or at maturity, you will receive a payment at maturity for each $1,000 stated principal amount security you then hold determined as follows:

 

If the final underlying value is less than the initial underlying value but greater than or equal to the trigger value: $1,000; or

 

If the final underlying value is less than the trigger value: $1,000 minus:

 

$1,000 ×

initial underlying value – final underlying value

initial underlying value

 

If the securities are not automatically called for redemption prior to or at maturity and the final underlying value is less than the trigger value, you will receive significantly less than the stated principal amount of your securities, and possibly nothing, at maturity.

 

Risk Factors

 

An investment in the securities is significantly riskier than an investment in conventional debt securities. The securities 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 securities, and are also subject to risks associated with the underlying.
