Non-Callable Fixed to Floating Rate Notes Due March 31, 2027
|
Risk Factors
The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk
factors for investors in the notes. You should read the risk factors below together with 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. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers
in connection with your investment in the notes.
|
§
|
The amount of interest payable on the notes will vary.
The notes
differ from conventional fixed-rate debt securities in that the interest payable on the notes will vary after the first three years
of the term of the notes based on the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and may be as low as 0.00%. The per annum interest rate
that is determined on the relevant interest determination date will apply to the entire interest period following that interest
determination date, even if 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR increases during that interest period, but is applicable only to that quarterly
interest period; interest payments for any other quarterly interest period will vary.
|
|
§
|
The interest rate applicable to the notes will be subject to a maximum
per annum rate.
The interest rate applicable to the notes from and including March 31, 2020 to but excluding the maturity date
cannot exceed 6.00% per annum for any interest period. As a result, the notes may provide you less interest income than an investment
in a similar instrument that is not subject to a maximum per annum rate.
|
|
§
|
The yield on the notes may be lower than the yield on a conventional
fixed-rate debt security of ours of comparable maturity.
During the first three years of the term of the notes, the notes will
bear interest at a per annum rate of 3.65%. After the first three years of the term of the notes, the interest rate applicable
to the notes will vary based on the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, and may be as low as 0.00% on each interest payment date.
As a result, the effective yield on your notes may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate, non-callable
debt security of ours (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.) of comparable maturity.
|
|
§
|
An investment in the notes may be more risky than an investment
in notes with a shorter term.
The notes have a term of ten years. By purchasing notes with a longer term, you will bear greater
exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter term. In particular, if the level
of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR does not increase from its current level, you may be holding a long-dated security that pays an interest
rate that is less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate, non-callable debt security of Citigroup Global
Markets Holdings Inc. (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.) of comparable maturity. In addition, if you tried to sell your notes at such
time, the value of your notes in any secondary market transaction would also be adversely affected.
|
|
§
|
The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets
Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc., and any actual or perceived changes to the creditworthiness of either entity may adversely affect
the value of the notes.
You 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 notes and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee
obligations, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the value of the
notes will be affected by changes in the market’s view of the creditworthiness of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
or Citigroup Inc. Any decline or anticipated decline in the credit ratings of either entity, or any increase or anticipated increase
in the credit spreads of either entity is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes.
|
|
§
|
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.
|
|
§
|
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 “General Information—Temporary adjustment period” in this pricing supplement.
|
|
§
|
Secondary market sales of the notes may result in a loss of principal.
You will be entitled to receive at least the full stated principal amount of your notes, subject to the credit risk of Citigroup
Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc., only if you hold the notes to maturity. If you are able to sell your notes in
the secondary market prior to maturity, you are likely to receive less than the stated principal amount of the notes.
|
|
§
|
The inclusion of underwriting fees and projected profit from hedging
in the issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or other
relevant factors, the price, if any, at which CGMI may be willing to purchase the notes in secondary market transactions will likely
be lower than the issue price since the issue price of the notes will include, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude,
underwriting fees paid with respect to the notes, as well
|
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
|
Non-Callable Fixed to Floating Rate Notes Due March 31, 2027
|
as the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. The cost of hedging
includes the projected profit that our affiliates may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the
hedging transactions. The secondary market prices for the notes are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related
hedging transactions. Our affiliates may realize a profit from hedging activity even if the value of the notes declines. In addition,
any secondary market prices for the notes may differ from values determined by pricing models used by CGMI, as a result of dealer
discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.
|
§
|
The price at which you may be able to sell your notes prior to maturity
will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than the amount you originally invest.
A number of factors
will influence the value of the notes in any secondary market that may develop and the price at which CGMI may be willing to purchase
the notes in any such secondary market, including: the level and volatility of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, interest rates in the
market, the time remaining to maturity of the notes, hedging activities by our affiliates, fees and projected hedging fees and
profits and any actual or anticipated changes in the credit ratings, financial condition and results of either Citigroup Global
Markets Holdings Inc. or Citigroup Inc. The value of the notes will vary and is likely to be less than the issue price at any time
prior to maturity, and sale of the notes prior to maturity may result in a loss.
|
|
§
|
The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of the issuer, will
make determinations with respect to the notes.
Citibank, N.A., the calculation agent for the notes, is an affiliate of ours.
As calculation agent, Citibank, N.A. will determine, among other things, the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and will calculate
the interest payable to you on each interest payment date. Any of these determinations or calculations made by Citibank, N.A. in
its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the calculation of the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR in the event
of the unavailability of the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, may adversely affect the amount of one or more interest payments
to you.
|
|
§
|
Hedging and trading activity by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings
Inc. could result in a conflict of interest.
One or more of our affiliates have entered into hedging transactions. This hedging
activity involves trading in instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. This hedging
activity may present a conflict between your interest in the notes and the interests our affiliates have in executing, maintaining
and adjusting their hedge transactions because it could affect the price at which our affiliate CGMI may be willing to purchase
your notes in the secondary market. Because hedging our obligations under the notes involves risk and may be influenced by a number
of factors, it is possible that our affiliates may profit from the expected hedging activity, even if the value of the notes declines.
|
|
§
|
The historical performance of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is not an
indication of its future performance
. The historical performance of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, which is included in this pricing
supplement, should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR during the term of the
notes. Changes in the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will affect the value of the notes, but it is impossible to predict whether
the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will rise or fall.
|
|
§
|
3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and the manner in which it is calculated
may change in the future.
The method by which 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is calculated may change in the future, as a result
of governmental actions, actions by the publisher of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR or otherwise. We cannot predict whether the method
by which 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is calculated will change or what the impact of any such change might be. Any such change could
affect the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR in a way that has a significant adverse effect on the notes.
|
|
§
|
You will have no rights against the publisher of 3-month U.S. dollar
LIBOR.
You will have no rights against the publisher of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR even though the amount you receive on each
interest payment date after the first three years of the term of the notes will depend upon the level of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.
The publisher of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is not in any way involved in this offering and has no obligations relating to the notes
or the holders of the notes.
|
General Information
|
Temporary adjustment period:
|
For a period of approximately six months 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 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 notes. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero on a straight-line basis over the six-month temporary adjustment period. However, CGMI is not obligated to buy the notes from investors at any time. See “Risk Factors—The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.”
|
U.S. federal income tax considerations:
|
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP,
the notes will be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” that provide for a single fixed rate followed by a qualified
floating rate (“QFR”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Under the Treasury Regulations applicable to variable
rate debt instruments, in order to determine the amount of qualified stated interest (“QSI”) and original issue discount
(“OID”) in respect of the notes, an equivalent fixed rate debt instrument must be constructed. The equivalent fixed
rate debt instrument is constructed in the following manner: (i) first, the initial
|
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
|
Non-Callable Fixed to Floating Rate Notes Due March 31, 2027
|
|
fixed rate is converted to a QFR that would preserve the fair
market value of the notes, and (ii) second, each QFR (including the QFR determined under (i) above) is converted to a fixed rate
substitute (which will generally be the value of that QFR as of the issue date of the notes). The rules described under “United
States Federal Tax Considerations – Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Original Issue Discount” in the accompanying
prospectus supplement are then applied to the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument for purposes of calculating the amount of OID
on the notes. Under these rules, the notes will generally be treated as providing for QSI at a rate equal to the lowest rate of
interest in effect at any time under the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument, and any interest in excess of that rate will generally
be treated as part of the stated redemption price at maturity and, therefore, as giving rise to OID. Based on the application of
these rules to the notes and current market conditions, the notes should be treated as issued without OID. The remaining discussion
is based on this treatment.
Stated interest on the notes will generally be taxable to a U.S.
Holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received
in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting.
Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a note, a U.S.
Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition (other
than any amount attributable to accrued interest, which will be treated as a payment of interest) and the U.S. Holder’s tax
basis in the note. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note to the U.S. Holder. Such
gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the note for more than one year at the
time of disposition.
Under current law Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in the accompanying
prospectus supplement) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax with respect to interest paid on
and amounts received on the sale, exchange or retirement of the notes if they comply with applicable certification requirements.
Special rules apply to Non-U.S. Holders whose income on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business or who are individuals present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year.
You should read the section entitled “United States
Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus 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 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.
|
Trustee:
|
The Bank of New York Mellon (as trustee under an indenture dated March 8, 2016) will serve as trustee for the notes.
|
Use of proceeds and hedging:
|
The net proceeds received from the sale of the notes will be
used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more
of our affiliates.
Hedging activities related to the notes by one or more
of our affiliates involves trading in one or more instruments, such as options, swaps and/or futures, based on 3-month U.S. dollar
LIBOR and/or taking positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such
hedging. It is possible that our affiliates may profit from this hedging activity, even if the value of the notes declines. Profit
or loss from this hedging activity could affect the price at which Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.’s affiliate, CGMI,
may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see
“Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus.
|
ERISA and IRA purchase considerations:
|
Please refer to “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for important information for investors that are ERISA or other benefit plans or whose underlying assets include assets of such plans.
|
Fees and selling concessions:
|
CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings
Inc. and the underwriter of the sale of the notes, is acting as principal and will receive an underwriting fee of up to $12.50
for each note sold in this offering. The actual underwriting fee will be equal to $12.50 for each note sold by CGMI directly to
the public and will otherwise be equal to the selling concession provided to selected dealers, as described in this paragraph.
CGMI will pay selected dealers not affiliated with CGMI a selling concession of up to $12.50 for each note they sell.
|
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
|
Non-Callable Fixed to Floating Rate Notes Due March 31, 2027

|
Additionally, it is possible that CGMI and its affiliates
may profit from hedging activity related to this offering, even if the value of the notes declines. You should refer to “Risk
Factors” above and the section “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus.

Determination of Interest Payments
On each interest payment date, the amount of each interest payment
will equal (i) the stated principal amount of the notes multiplied by the interest rate in effect during the applicable interest
period
divided by
(ii) 4.
Determination of 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR
3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is a daily reference rate fixed in
U.S. dollars based on the interest rates at which banks borrow funds from each other for a term of three months, in marketable
size, in the London interbank market. For any relevant date, 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will equal the rate for 3-month U.S. dollar
LIBOR appearing on Reuters page “LIBOR01” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) as of 11:00
am (London time) on that date.
If a rate for 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is not published on Reuters
page “LIBOR01” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) on any day on which the rate for 3-month
U.S. dollar LIBOR is required, then the calculation agent will request the principal London office of each of five major reference
banks in the London interbank market, selected by the calculation agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation to prime
banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars in an amount that is representative of a single transaction in
that market at that time (a “Representative Amount”) and for a term of three months as of 11:00 am (London time) on
such day. If at least two such quotations are so provided, the rate for 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of
such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the calculation agent will request each of three major banks in
New York City to provide such bank’s rate to leading European banks for loans in U.S. dollars in a Representative Amount
and for a term of three months as of approximately 11:00 am (New York City time) on such day. If at least two such rates are so
provided, the rate for 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so
provided, then the rate for 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will be 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR in effect as of 11:00 am (New York City
time)

on the immediately preceding London business day.A “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday
and that, in New York City, is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to
close.
A “London business day” means any day on which dealings
in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
