Autocallable Contingent Coupon Equity Linked Securities Linked to
the Worst Performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, the
Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500®
Index Due May 31, 2024
|
▪ |
The securities offered by this pricing supplement are unsecured
debt securities issued by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
and guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. The securities offer the potential
for periodic contingent coupon payments at an annualized rate that,
if all are paid, would produce a yield that is generally higher
than the yield on our conventional debt securities of the same
maturity. In exchange for this higher potential yield, you must be
willing to accept the risks that (i) your actual yield may be lower
than the yield on our conventional debt securities of the same
maturity because you may not receive one or more, or any,
contingent coupon payments, (ii) the value of what you receive at
maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount
of your securities, and may be zero, and (iii) the securities may
be automatically called for redemption prior to maturity beginning
on the first potential autocall date specified below. Each of these
risks will depend solely on the performance of the worst
performing of the underlyings specified below. |
|
▪ |
You will be subject to risks associated with each of the
underlyings and will be negatively affected by adverse movements in
any one of the underlyings. Although you will have downside
exposure to the worst performing underlying, you will not receive
dividends with respect to any underlying or participate in any
appreciation of any underlying. |
|
▪ |
Investors in the securities must be willing to accept (i) an
investment that may have limited or no liquidity and (ii) the risk
of not receiving any payments due under the securities if we and
Citigroup Inc. default on our obligations. All payments on the
securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global
Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. |

Contingent
coupon: |
On each contingent coupon payment
date, unless previously redeemed, the securities will pay a
contingent coupon equal to 2.9125% of the stated principal amount
of the securities (equivalent to a contingent coupon rate of 11.65%
per annum) if and only if the closing value of the worst
performing underlying on the immediately preceding valuation date
is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier value. If the
closing value of the worst performing underlying on any valuation
date is less than its coupon barrier value, you will not receive
any contingent coupon payment on the immediately following
contingent coupon payment date. |
Payment at
maturity: |
If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity,
you will receive at maturity for each security you then hold (in
addition to the final contingent coupon payment, if
applicable):
§ If the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is greater than or equal to its final barrier
value: $1,000
§ If the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is less than its final barrier value:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × the underlying return of the worst performing
underlying on the final valuation date)
If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to
maturity and the final underlying value of the worst performing
underlying on the final valuation date is less than its final
barrier value, you will receive significantly less than the stated
principal amount of your securities, and possibly nothing, at
maturity, and you will not receive any contingent coupon payment at
maturity.

(1) On the date of this pricing supplement, the estimated value of
the securities is $967.70 per security, which is less than the
issue price. The estimated value of the securities is based on
CGMI’s proprietary pricing models and our internal funding rate. It
is not an indication of actual profit to CGMI or other of our
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 this pricing supplement.
(2) CGMI will receive an underwriting fee of up to $18.00 for each
security sold in this offering. The total underwriting fee and
proceeds to issuer in the table above give effect to the actual
total underwriting fee. For more information on the distribution of
the securities, see “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” in this
pricing supplement. In addition to the underwriting fee, CGMI and
its affiliates may profit from hedging activity related to this
offering, even if the value of the securities declines. See “Use of
Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus.
(3) The per security proceeds to issuer indicated above represent
the minimum per security proceeds to issuer for any security,
assuming the maximum per security underwriting fee. As noted above,
the underwriting fee is variable.
Investing in the securities involves risks not associated with
an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Summary Risk
Factors” beginning on page PS-6.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities
or determined that this pricing supplement and the accompanying
product supplement, underlying supplement, prospectus supplement

KEY
TERMS (continued) |
Automatic
early redemption: |
If, on any potential autocall date, the
closing value of the worst performing underlying on that potential
autocall date is greater than or equal to its initial underlying
value, each security you then hold will be automatically called on
that potential autocall date for redemption on the immediately
following contingent coupon payment date for an amount in cash
equal to $1,000.00 plus the related contingent coupon
payment. The automatic early redemption feature may
significantly limit your potential return on the securities. If the
worst performing underlying performs in a way that would otherwise
be favorable, the securities are likely to be automatically called
for redemption prior to maturity, cutting short your opportunity to
receive contingent coupon payments. The securities may be
automatically called for redemption as early as the first potential
autocall date specified below. |
Potential autocall
dates: |
The valuation dates scheduled to occur on May 30, 2023, August

value: |
For each underlying, its closing value on the final valuation
date |
Worst performing
underlying: |
For any valuation date, the underlying with the lowest

Hypothetical Examples
The examples in the first section below illustrate how to determine
whether a contingent coupon will be paid and whether the securities
will be automatically called for redemption following a valuation
date that is also a potential autocall date. The examples in the
second section below illustrate how to determine the payment at
maturity on the securities, assuming the securities are not
automatically redeemed prior to maturity. The examples are solely
for illustrative purposes, do not show all possible outcomes and
are not a prediction of any payment that may be made on the
securities.
The examples below are based on the following hypothetical values
and do not reflect the actual initial underlying values, coupon
barrier values or final barrier values of the underlyings. For the
actual initial underlying value, coupon barrier value and final
barrier value of each underlying, see the cover page of this
pricing supplement. We have used these hypothetical values, rather
than the actual values, to simplify the calculations and aid
understanding of how the securities work. However, you should
understand that the actual payments on the securities will be
calculated based on the actual initial underlying value, coupon
barrier value and final barrier value of each underlying, and not
the hypothetical values indicated below. For ease of analysis,
figures below have been rounded.

Hypothetical Examples of Contingent Coupon Payments and any
Payment upon Automatic Early Redemption Following a Valuation Date
that is also a Potential Autocall Date
The three hypothetical examples below illustrate how to determine
whether a contingent coupon will be paid and whether the securities
will be automatically redeemed following a hypothetical valuation
date that is also a potential autocall date, assuming that the
closing values of the underlyings on the hypothetical valuation
date are as indicated below.

120
(underlying return =
(120 - 100) / 100 = 20%) |
85
(underlying return =
(85 - 100) / 100 = -15%) |
135
(underlying return =
(135 - 100) / 100 = 35%) |
$29.125
(contingent coupon is paid; securities not redeemed) |
Example 2 |
45
(underlying return =
(45 - 100) / 100 = -55%) |
120
(underlying return =
(120 - 100) / 100 = 20%) |
150
(underlying return =
(150 - 100) / 100 = 50%) |
$0.00
(no contingent coupon; securities not redeemed) |
Example 3 |
150
(underlying return =
(150 - 100) / 100 = 50%) |
115
(underlying return =
(115 - 100) / 100 = 15%) |
110
(underlying return =
(110 - 100) / 100 = 10%) |
$1,029.125
(contingent coupon is paid; securities redeemed) |
Example 1: On the
hypothetical valuation date, the Russell 2000® Index has
the lowest underlying return and, therefore, is the worst
performing underlying on the hypothetical valuation date. In this
scenario, the closing value of the worst performing underlying on
the hypothetical valuation date is greater than its coupon barrier
value but less than its initial underlying value. As a result,
investors in the securities would receive the contingent coupon
payment on the related contingent coupon payment date and the
securities would not be automatically redeemed.
Example 2: On the
hypothetical valuation date, the Nasdaq-100 Index® has
the lowest underlying return and, therefore, is the worst
performing underlying on the hypothetical valuation date. In this
scenario, the closing value of the worst performing underlying on
the hypothetical valuation date is less than its coupon barrier
value. As a result, investors would not receive any payment on the
related contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not
be automatically redeemed.
Investors in the securities will not receive a contingent coupon
on the contingent coupon payment date following a valuation date if
the closing value of the worst performing underlying on that
valuation date is less than its coupon barrier value. Whether a
contingent coupon is paid following a valuation date depends solely
on the closing value of the worst performing underlying on that
valuation date.
Example 3: On the
hypothetical valuation date, the S&P 500® Index has
the lowest underlying return and, therefore, is the worst
performing underlying on the hypothetical valuation date. In this
scenario, the closing value of the worst performing underlying on
the hypothetical valuation date is greater than both its coupon
barrier value and its initial underlying value. As a result, the
securities would be automatically redeemed on the related
contingent coupon payment date for an amount in cash equal to
$1,000.00 plus the related contingent coupon payment.
If the hypothetical valuation date were not also a potential
autocall date, the securities would not be automatically redeemed
on the related contingent coupon payment date.

Hypothetical Examples of the Payment at Maturity on the

The next three hypothetical examples illustrate the calculation of
the payment at maturity on the securities, assuming that the
securities have not been earlier automatically redeemed and that
the final underlying values of the underlyings are as indicated
below.

(underlying return =
(30 - 100) / 100 = -70%) |
$300.00 |
Example 6 |
20
(underlying return =
(20 - 100) / 100 = -80%) |
35
(underlying return =
(35 - 100) / 100 = -65%) |
80
(underlying return =
(80 - 100) / 100 = -20%) |
$200.00 |
Example 4: On the final
valuation date, the Nasdaq-100 Index® has the lowest
underlying return and, therefore, is the worst performing
underlying on the final valuation date. In this scenario, the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is greater than its final barrier value.
Accordingly, at maturity, you would receive the stated principal
amount of the securities plus the contingent coupon payment
due at maturity, but you would not participate in the appreciation
of any of the underlyings.
Example 5: On the final
valuation date, the S&P 500® Index has the lowest
underlying return and, therefore, is the worst performing
underlying on the final valuation date. In this scenario, the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is less than its final barrier value. Accordingly,
at maturity, you would receive a payment per security calculated as
follows:
Payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × the underlying
return of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation
date)
=
$1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × -70.00%)
=
$1,000.00 + -$700.00
=
$300.00
In this scenario, because the final underlying value of the worst
performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its
final barrier value, you would lose a significant portion of your
investment in the securities. In addition, because the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is below its coupon barrier value, you would not
receive any contingent coupon payment at maturity.
Example 6: On the final
valuation date, the Nasdaq-100 Index® has the lowest
underlying return and, therefore, is the worst performing
underlying on the final valuation date. In this scenario, the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is less than its final barrier value. Accordingly,
at maturity, you would receive a payment per security calculated as
follows:
Payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × the underlying
return of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation
date)
=
$1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × -80.00%)
=
$1,000.00 + -$800.00
=
$200.00
In this scenario, because the final underlying value of the worst
performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its
final barrier value, you would lose a significant portion of your
investment in the securities. In addition, because the final
underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final
valuation date is below its coupon barrier value, you would not
receive any contingent coupon payment at maturity.
It is possible that the closing value of the worst performing
underlying will be less than its coupon barrier value on each
valuation date and less than its final barrier value on the final
valuation date, such that you will not receive any contingent
coupon payments over the term of the securities and will receive
significantly less than the stated principal amount of your
securities, and possibly nothing, at maturity.

Summary 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 each underlying. Accordingly, the securities are
suitable only for investors who are capable of understanding the
complexities and risks of the securities. You should consult your
own financial, tax and legal advisors as to the risks of an
investment in the securities and the suitability of the securities
in light of your particular circumstances.
The following is a summary of certain key risk factors for
investors in the securities. You should read this summary together
with the more detailed description of risks relating to an
investment in the securities 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 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, your payment at maturity
will depend on the final underlying value of the worst performing
underlying on the final valuation date. If the final underlying
value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation
date is less than its final barrier value, you will lose 1% of the
stated principal amount of your securities for every 1% by which
the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date has
declined from its initial underlying value. There is no minimum
payment at maturity on the securities, and you may lose up to all
of your investment. |
|
§ |
The initial underlying values, which were set on the strike
date, may be higher than the closing values of the underlyings on
the pricing date. If the closing values of the underlyings on
the pricing date are less than the initial underlying values that
were set on the strike date, the terms of the securities may be
less favorable to you than the terms of an alternative investment
that may be available to you that offers a similar payout as the
securities but with the initial underlying values set on the
pricing date. |
|
§ |
You will not receive any contingent coupon on the contingent
coupon payment date following any valuation date on which the
closing value of the worst performing underlying on that valuation
date is less than its coupon barrier value. A contingent coupon
payment will be made on a contingent coupon payment date if and
only if the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the
immediately preceding valuation date is greater than or equal to
its coupon barrier value. If the closing value of the worst
performing underlying on any valuation date is less than its coupon
barrier value, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment
on the immediately following contingent coupon payment date. If the
closing value of the worst performing underlying on each valuation
date is below its coupon barrier value, you will not receive any
contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities. |
|
§ |
Higher contingent coupon rates are associated with greater
risk. The securities offer contingent coupon payments at an
annualized rate that, if all are paid, would produce a yield that
is generally higher than the yield on our conventional debt
securities of the same maturity. This higher potential yield is
associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing
date for the securities, including the risk that you may not
receive a contingent coupon payment on one or more, or any,
contingent coupon payment dates and the risk that the value of what
you receive at maturity may be significantly less than the stated
principal amount of your securities and may be zero. The volatility
of, and correlation between, the closing values of the underlyings
are important factors affecting these risks. Greater expected
volatility of, and lower expected correlation between, the closing
values of the underlyings as of the pricing date may result in a
higher contingent coupon rate, but would also represent a greater
expected likelihood as of the pricing date that the closing value
of the worst performing underlying on one or more valuation dates
will be less than its coupon barrier value, such that you will not
receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the
term of the securities and that the final underlying value of the
worst performing underlying on the final valuation date will be
less than its final barrier value, such that you will not be repaid
the stated principal amount of your securities at maturity. |
|
§ |
The securities are subject to heightened risk because they
have multiple underlyings. The securities are more risky than
similar investments that may be available with only one underlying.
With multiple underlyings, there is a greater chance that any one
underlying will perform poorly, adversely affecting your return on
the securities. |
|
§ |
The securities are subject to the risks of each of the
underlyings and will be negatively affected if any one underlying
performs poorly. You are subject to risks associated with each
of the underlyings. If any one underlying performs poorly, you will
be negatively affected. The securities are not linked to a basket
composed of the underlyings, where the blended performance of the
underlyings would be better than the performance of the worst
performing underlying alone. Instead, you are subject to the full
risks of whichever of the underlyings is the worst performing
underlying. |
|
§ |
You will not benefit in any way from the performance of any
better performing underlying. The return on the securities
depends solely on the performance of the worst performing
underlying, and you will not benefit in any way from the
performance of any better performing underlying. |
|
§ |
You will be subject to risks relating to the relationship
between the underlyings. It is preferable from your perspective
for the underlyings to be correlated with each other, in the sense
that their closing values tend to increase or decrease at similar
times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities,
you assume the risk that the underlyings will not exhibit this
relationship. The less correlated the underlyings, the more likely
it is that any one of the underlyings will perform poorly over the
term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to
perform poorly is for one of the underlyings to perform poorly. It
is impossible to predict what the relationship between the
underlyings will be over the term of the securities. The
underlyings differ in significant ways and, therefore, may not be
correlated with each other. |

|
|
§ |
You may not be adequately compensated for assuming the
downside risk of the worst performing underlying. The potential
contingent coupon payments on the securities are the compensation
you receive for assuming the downside risk of the worst performing
underlying, as well as all the other risks of the securities. That
compensation is effectively “at risk” and may, therefore, be less
than you currently anticipate. First, the actual yield you realize
on the securities could be lower than you anticipate because the
coupon is “contingent” and you may not receive a contingent coupon
payment on one or more, or any, of the contingent coupon payment
dates. Second, the contingent coupon payments are the compensation
you receive not only for the downside risk of the worst performing
underlying, but also for all of the other risks of the securities,
including the risk that the securities may be automatically
redeemed prior to maturity, interest rate risk and our and
Citigroup Inc.’s credit risk. If those other risks increase or are
otherwise greater than you currently anticipate, the contingent
coupon payments may turn out to be inadequate to compensate you for
all the risks of the securities, including the downside risk of the
worst performing underlying. |
|
§ |
The securities may be automatically redeemed prior to
maturity, limiting your opportunity to receive contingent coupon
payments. On any potential autocall date, the securities will
be automatically called for redemption if the closing value of the
worst performing underlying on that potential autocall date is
greater than or equal to its initial underlying value. As a result,
if the worst performing underlying performs in a way that would
otherwise be favorable, the securities are likely to be
automatically redeemed, cutting short your opportunity to receive
contingent coupon payments. If the securities are automatically
redeemed 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 securities offer downside exposure to the worst
performing underlying, but no upside exposure to any
underlying. You will not participate in any appreciation in the
value of any underlying over the term of the securities.
Consequently, your return on the securities will be limited to the
contingent coupon payments you receive, if any, and may be
significantly less than the return on any underlying over the term
of the securities. In addition, as an investor in the securities,
you will not receive any dividends or other distributions or have
any other rights with respect to any of the underlyings. |
|
§ |
The performance of the securities will depend on the closing
values of the underlyings solely on the valuation dates, which
makes the securities particularly sensitive to volatility in the
closing values of the underlyings on or near the valuation
dates. Whether the contingent coupon will be paid on any given
contingent coupon payment date and whether the securities will be
automatically redeemed prior to maturity will depend on the closing
values of the underlyings solely on the applicable valuation dates,
regardless of the closing values of the underlyings on other days
during the term of the securities. If the securities are not
automatically redeemed prior to maturity, what you receive at
maturity will depend solely on the closing value of the worst
performing underlying on the final valuation date, and not on any
other day during the term of the securities. Because the
performance of the securities depends on the closing values of the
underlyings on a limited number of dates, the securities will be
particularly sensitive to volatility in the closing values of the
underlyings on or near the valuation dates. You should understand
that the closing value of each underlying has historically been
highly volatile. |
|
§ |
The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup
Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If we default
on our 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
securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the
securities. CGMI currently intends to make a secondary market in
relation to the securities and to provide an indicative bid price
for the securities on a daily basis. Any indicative bid price for
the securities 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 securities 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 securities because it is likely that CGMI
will be the only broker-dealer that is willing to buy your
securities prior to maturity. Accordingly, an investor must be
prepared to hold the securities until maturity. |
|
§ |
The estimated value of the securities on the pricing 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 securities that are included in the issue price.
These costs include (i) any selling concessions or other fees paid
in connection with the offering of the securities, (ii) hedging and
other costs incurred by us and our affiliates in connection with
the offering of the securities 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
securities. These costs adversely affect the economic terms of the
securities because, if they were lower, the economic terms of the
securities would be more favorable to you. The economic terms of
the securities are also likely to be adversely affected by the use
of our internal funding rate, rather than our secondary market
rate, to price the securities. See “The estimated value of the
securities would be lower if it were calculated based on our
secondary market rate” below. |
|
§ |
The estimated value of the securities 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, and correlation between, the closing
values of the underlyings, dividend yields on the underlyings 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 securities. Moreover, the estimated
value of the securities set forth on the cover page of this pricing
supplement may differ from the value that we or our affiliates may
determine for the securities for other purposes, including for
accounting purposes. You should not invest in the securities
because of the estimated value of the securities. Instead, you
should be willing to hold the securities to maturity irrespective
of the initial estimated value. |
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings

|
§ |
The estimated value of the securities would be lower if it
were calculated based on our secondary market rate. The
estimated value of the securities 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 securities. 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 securities for purposes of
any purchases of the securities 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
securities, 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
is payable on the securities. |
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
securities, 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 securities prior
to maturity.
|
§ |
The estimated value of the securities is not an indication
of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be
willing to buy the securities from you in the secondary market.
Any such secondary market price will fluctuate over the term of the
securities based on the market and other factors described in the
next risk factor. Moreover, unlike the estimated value included in
this pricing supplement, any value of the securities 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 securities than if our internal funding rate were used. In
addition, any secondary market price for the securities will be
reduced by a bid-ask spread, which may vary depending on the
aggregate stated principal amount of the securities 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 securities will be less
than the issue price. |
|
§ |
The value of the securities prior to maturity will fluctuate
based on many unpredictable factors. The value of your
securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on the closing
values of the underlyings, the volatility of, and correlation
between, the closing values of the underlyings, dividend yields on
the underlyings, interest rates generally, the time remaining to
maturity and our and Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness, as
reflected in our secondary market rate, among other factors
described under “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities—Risk
Factors Relating to All Securities—The value of your securities
prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable
factors” in the accompanying product supplement. Changes in the
closing values of the underlyings may not result in a comparable
change in the value of your securities. You should understand that
the value of your securities at any time prior to maturity may be
significantly less than the issue price. |
|
§ |
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 steadily decline to zero over the
temporary adjustment period. See “Valuation of the Securities” in
this pricing supplement. |

§ |
The Russell 2000® Index is subject to risks
associated with small capitalization stocks. The stocks that
constitute the Russell 2000® Index are issued by
companies with relatively small market capitalization. The stock
prices of smaller companies may be more volatile than stock prices
of large capitalization companies. These companies tend to be less
well-established than large market capitalization companies. Small
capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse
economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to
larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely to
pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend
payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure
under adverse market conditions. |
|
§ |
Our offering of the securities is not a recommendation of
any underlying. The fact that we are offering the securities
does not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument
linked to the underlyings 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
underlyings or in instruments related to the underlyings, and may
publish research or express opinions, that in each case are
inconsistent with an investment linked to the underlyings. These
and other activities of our affiliates may affect the closing
values of the underlyings in a way that negatively affects the
value of and your return on the securities. |
|
§ |
The closing value of an underlying may be adversely affected
by our or our affiliates’ hedging and other trading activities.
We expect to hedge our obligations under the securities through
CGMI or other of our affiliates, who may take positions in the
underlyings or in financial instruments related to the underlyings
and may adjust such positions during the term of the securities.
Our affiliates also take positions in the underlyings or in
financial instruments related to the underlyings on a regular basis
(taking long or short positions or both), for their accounts, for
other accounts under their management or to facilitate transactions
on behalf of customers. These activities could affect the closing
values of the underlyings in a way that negatively affects the
value of and your return on the securities. They could also result
in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of
the securities declines. |
|
§ |
We and our affiliates may have economic interests that are
adverse to yours as a result of our affiliates’ business
activities. Our affiliates engage in business activities with a
wide range of companies. These activities include extending loans,
making and facilitating investments, underwriting securities
offerings and providing advisory services. These activities could
involve or affect the underlyings in a way that negatively affects
the value of and your return on the securities. They could also
result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the
value of the securities declines. In addition, in the course of
this business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public
information, which will not be disclosed to you. |
|
§ |
The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will
make important determinations with respect to the securities.
If certain events occur during the term of the securities, such as
market disruption events and other events with respect to an
underlying, CGMI, as calculation agent, will be required to make
discretionary judgments that could significantly affect your return
on the securities. In making |
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings
Inc. |
|
these judgments, the calculation agent’s interests as an affiliate
of ours could be adverse to your interests as a holder of the
securities. See “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities—Risk
Factors Relating to All Securities—The calculation agent, which is
an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with
respect to the securities” in the accompanying product
supplement.
|
§ |
Changes that affect the underlyings may affect the value of
your securities. The sponsors of the underlyings may at any
time make methodological changes or other changes in the manner in
which they operate that could affect the values of the underlyings.
We are not affiliated with any such underlying sponsor and,
accordingly, we have no control over any changes any such sponsor
may make. Such changes could adversely affect the performance of
the underlyings and the value of and your return on the
securities. |
|
§ |
The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the
securities are unclear. There is no direct legal authority
regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities,
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 securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court
might not agree with the treatment of the securities as described
in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” below. If the IRS
were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the
securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition
of the securities might be materially and adversely affected.
Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance
could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the
securities, possibly retroactively. |
Non-U.S. investors should note that persons having withholding
responsibility in respect of the securities may withhold on any
coupon payment paid to a non-U.S. investor, generally at a rate of
30%. To the extent that we have withholding responsibility in
respect of the securities, we intend to so withhold.
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 securities, as well as tax
consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S.
taxing jurisdiction.

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 tax consequences
of an investment in the securities. In connection with any
information reporting requirements we may have in respect of the
securities under applicable law, we intend (in the absence of an
administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to
treat the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
prepaid forward contracts with associated coupon payments that will
be treated as gross income to you at the time received or accrued
in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. In the
opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, which is
based on current market conditions, this treatment of the
securities is reasonable under current law; 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 securities 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:
|
· |
Any coupon payments on the securities should be taxable as
ordinary income to you at the time received or accrued in
accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. |
|
· |
Upon a sale or exchange of a security (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
security. For this purpose, the amount realized does not include
any coupon paid on retirement and may not include sale proceeds
attributable to an accrued coupon, which may be treated as a coupon
payment. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss
if you held the security for more than one year. |
We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the
treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the
securities could materially and adversely affect the tax
consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities,
including the timing and character of income recognized. 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 securities, possibly with
retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential
changes in applicable law.
Withholding Tax on Non-U.S. Holders. Because significant
aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain,
persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the
securities may withhold on any coupon payment paid to Non-U.S.
Holders (as defined in the accompanying product supplement),
generally at a rate of 30%. To the extent that we have (or an
affiliate of ours has) withholding responsibility in respect of the
securities, we intend to so withhold. In order to claim an
exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding, you may
need to comply with certification requirements to establish that
you are not a U.S. person and are eligible for such an exemption or
reduction under an applicable tax treaty. You should consult your
tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the securities,
including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any amounts
withheld and the certification requirement described above.
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, 2025 that do not
have a “delta” of one. Based on the terms of the securities and
representations provided by us, our counsel is of the opinion that
the securities 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 securities 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 securities.
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 securities.
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 securities 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 underwriter of the sale of the securities, is acting as
principal and will receive an underwriting fee of up to $18.00 for
each security sold in this offering. The actual underwriting fee
will be equal to the selling concession provided to selected
dealers, as described in this paragraph. From this underwriting
fee, CGMI will pay selected dealers not affiliated with CGMI a
variable selling concession of up to $18.00 for each security they
sell. For the avoidance of doubt, any fees or selling concessions
described in this pricing supplement will not be rebated if the
securities are automatically redeemed 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 Securities
CGMI calculated the estimated value of the securities 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 securities by estimating the value of a
hypothetical package of financial instruments that would replicate
the payout on the securities, which consists of a fixed-income bond
(the “bond component”) and one or more derivative instruments
underlying the economic terms of the securities (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 securities
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.
For a period of approximately three months following issuance of
the securities, the price, if any, at which CGMI would be willing
to buy the securities from investors, and the value that will be
indicated for the securities on any brokerage 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 securities. The
amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero on
a straight-line basis over the three-month temporary adjustment
period. However, CGMI is not obligated to buy the securities from
investors at any time. See “Summary Risk Factors—The securities
will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be
able to sell them prior to maturity.”
Validity of the Securities
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special
products counsel to Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., when
the securities 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 securities 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
securities.
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 Barbara Politi, Associate General
Counsel—Capital Markets of Citigroup Inc. In addition, this opinion
is subject to the assumptions set forth in the letter of Davis Polk
& Wardwell LLP dated May 11, 2021, which has been filed as an
exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Citigroup Inc. on
May 11, 2021, 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 securities nor
the issuance and delivery of the securities and the related
guarantee, nor the compliance by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings
Inc. and Citigroup Inc. with the terms of the securities 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
securities 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
securities 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 securities
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 its certificate of
incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents. This
opinion is given as of the date of this pricing supplement and is
limited to the laws of the State of New York.
Alexia Breuvart, or other internal attorneys with whom she has
consulted, has examined and is familiar with originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to her satisfaction, of such
corporate records of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.,
certificates or documents as she has deemed appropriate as a basis
for the opinions expressed above. In such examination, she or such
persons has assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the
genuineness of all signatures (other than those of officers of
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.), the authenticity of all
documents submitted to her or such persons as originals, the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to her
or such persons as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies.
In the opinion of Barbara Politi, Associate General Counsel—Capital
Markets of Citigroup Inc., (i) the Board of Directors (or a duly
authorized committee thereof) of Citigroup Inc. has duly authorized
