3 Month
Forward Due May 29, 2026
All payments due on the securities are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.
The Trigger GEARS offered by this pricing supplement (the “
securities
”)
are unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (the “
issuer
”), guaranteed
by Citigroup Inc. (the “
guarantor
”), with a return at maturity linked to the performance of the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
3 Month Forward (the “
underlying
”) from its initial underlying level to its final underlying
level. If the underlying return is positive, the issuer will repay the stated principal amount of the securities at maturity and
pay a return equal to the underlying return multiplied by the upside gearing of 1.81. If the underlying return is zero or negative
and the final underlying level is greater than or equal to the downside threshold, the issuer will repay the stated principal
amount of the securities at maturity. However, if the underlying return is negative and the final underlying level is less than
the downside threshold, you will be fully exposed to the negative underlying return and the issuer will pay you less than the
stated principal amount at maturity, resulting in a loss on the stated principal amount to investors that is proportionate to
the percentage decline in the level of the underlying. In this case, you will have full downside exposure to the underlying from
the initial underlying level to the final underlying level, and could lose all of your initial investment.
Investing in the
securities involves significant risks. You will not receive coupon payments during the 10-year term of the securities. You may
lose a substantial portion or all of your initial investment. The securities offer a means of gaining exposure to commodities
as an asset class that may be adversely affected by “negative roll yields” in “contango” markets, as described
in more detail under “Risk Factors—The securities may be adversely affected by “negative roll yields”
in “contango” markets”. The contingent repayment of the stated principal amount applies only if you hold the
securities to maturity. Any payment on the securities, including any repayment of the stated principal amount provided at maturity,
is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer and the guarantor. If the issuer and the guarantor were to default on their obligations,
you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment.

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. 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 advisers 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 description of certain key
risk factors for investors in the securities. 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 some or all of your investment —
The securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily
repay the full stated principal amount of your securities at maturity. Instead, your return on the securities is linked to the
performance of the underlying and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the underlying return is positive or negative.
If the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the securities
for every 1% by which the final underlying level is less than the initial underlying level. There is no minimum payment at maturity
on the securities, and you may lose up to all of your investment in the securities.
|
|
¨
|
The
reduced market risk offered by the securities is contingent, and you will have full downside exposure to the underlying if the
final underlying level is less than the downside threshold —
If the final underlying level is below the downside threshold,
the contingent reduced market risk with respect to a limited range of potential depreciation of the underlying offered by the
securities will not apply and you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the securities for every 1% by which the final
underlying level is less than the initial underlying level. The securities will have full downside exposure to the decline of
the underlying if the final underlying level is below the downside threshold. As a result, you may lose your entire investment
in the securities. Further, this contingent reduced market risk applies only if you hold the securities to maturity. If you are
able to sell the securities prior to maturity you may have to sell them for a loss even if the underlying has not declined below
the downside threshold.
|
|
¨
|
The
securities do not pay interest —
Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or any other
amounts prior to maturity. You should not invest in the securities if you seek current income during the term of the securities.
|
|
¨
|
The
securities may be adversely affected by “negative roll yields” in “contango” markets —
The underlying
tracks the value of a hypothetical position in a basket of 22 exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities, where
the position is notionally “rolled” periodically out of certain of the futures contracts as the expiration dates of
such futures contracts approach and into other futures contracts on the same physical commodities but with later expiration dates.
Unlike stocks, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts specify
a cetain future date for the physical delivery of such commodity. In order to avoid physical delivery and maintain continuing
exposure to the basket of 22 futures contracts, the underlying unwinds its hypothetical positions in the component futures contracts
before any expiration date thereof and replaces any such futures contract with a hypothetical position in another futures contract
on the same physical commodity with a later expiration date. For example, a hypothetical commodity futures contract entered into
in January may specify a May expiration. In February, the hypothetical commodity futures contract expiring in May may be replaced
with a futures contract on the same commodity expiring in July. We refer to this process as “rolling” exposure to
an expiring futures contract into another futures contract with a later expiration date. Through this rolling process, the underlying
is able to reflect continuing exposure to the basket of 22 commodity futures contracts.
|
The
“rolling” feature of the underlying creates the potential for a significant negative effect on the level of the underlying—which
we refer to as a “negative roll yield”—that is independent of the performance of the spot price of the underlying
physical commodities. The “spot price” of a physical commodity is the price of the commodity for immediate delivery,
as opposed to a futures price, which represents the price for delivery on a specified date in the future. The underlying would
be expected to experience a negative roll yield if the prices of the commodity futures contracts comprising the underlying tend
to be greater than the spot prices for the underlying physical commodities. A market where futures prices are greater than the
spot prices is referred to as a “contango” market. Commodity futures prices may be greater than spot prices for a
variety of reasons, including costs of storing physical commodities until the delivery date, financing costs, and market expectations
that future spot prices of the commodity may be higher than current spot prices. As any commodity futures contract approaches
expiration, its value will approach the spot price of the underlying physical commodity, because by expiration it will effectively
represent a contract to buy or sell the physical commodity for immediate (or “spot”) delivery. Therefore, if the market
for any commodity futures contract is in contango, then the value of the futures contract would tend to decline over time (assuming
the spot price for the underlying physical commodity remains unchanged), because the higher futures price would fall as it converges
to the lower spot price by expiration. If the market for a commodity futures contract is in contango and the spot price for the
underlying physical commodity remains constant, the underlying would enter into a hypothetical position in the futures contract
at the higher contango futures price and then unwind that position closer to the lower spot price, and then enter into a hypothetical
position in a new futures contract at the higher contango futures price and unwind that position closer to the lower spot price,
and so on over the term of the securities, all the while accumulating losses from the erosion in value that results as the higher
contango price declines toward the lower spot price.
Prospective
investors in the securities should understand that many of the commodity futures contracts comprising the underlying have historically
been in contango markets. Therefore, negative roll yields are likely to adversely affect the level of the underlying and the return
you receive on the securities. Any negative roll yield with respect to a commodity futures contract will offset any gains in the
spot price of the underlying physical commodity that may occur over the term of the securities, exacerbate any decline and cause
a steady erosion in value if the spot price of the commodity remains relatively constant.
|
¨
|
Your
payment at maturity depends on the closing level of the underlying on a single day —
Because your payment at maturity
depends on the closing level of the underlying solely on the final valuation date, you are subject to the risk that the closing
level of the underlying on that day may be lower, and possibly significantly lower, than on one or more other dates during the
term of the securities. If you had invested directly in the futures contracts that constitute the underlying or in another instrument
linked to the underlying that
|
you
could sell for full value at a time selected by you, or if the payment at maturity were based on an average of closing levels
of the underlying, you might have achieved better returns.
|
¨
|
The
probability that the underlying will fall below the downside threshold on the final valuation date will depend in part on the
volatility of the underlying —
“Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the level
of the underlying. In general, the greater the volatility of the underlying, the greater the probability that the underlying
will experience a large decline over the term of the securities and fall below the downside threshold on the final valuation date.
The underlying has historically experienced significant volatility. As a result, there is a significant risk that the underlying
will fall below the downside threshold on the final valuation date and that you will incur a significant loss on your investment
in the securities. The terms of the securities are set, in part, based on expectations about the volatility of the underlying
as of the trade date. If expectations about the volatility of the underlying change over the term of the securities, the
value of the securities may be adversely affected, and if the actual volatility of the underlying proves to be greater than initially
expected, the securities may prove to be riskier than expected on the trade date.
|
|
¨
|
The
securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. —
Any payment
on the securities will be made by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and is guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., and therefore is
subject to the credit risk of both 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 any payments that become due
under the securities. As a result, the value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s
view of our and Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness. Any decline, or anticipated decline, in either of our or Citigroup Inc.’s
credit ratings or increase, or anticipated increase, in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking either of our or Citigroup
Inc.’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the securities.
|
|
¨
|
The
securities will not be listed on a 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 trade 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) the underwriting discount 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 the underlying 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.
|
|
¨
|
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 we will pay to investors in the securities, which do not bear interest.
|
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 —
As described under “Valuation
of the Securities” below, the payout on the securities could be replicated by a hypothetical package of financial instruments
consisting of a fixed-income bond and one or more derivative instruments. As a result, the factors that influence the values of
fixed-income bonds and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the securities at issuance and the value of the
securities prior to maturity. Accordingly, the value of your securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on the level and
volatility of the underlying and a number of other factors, including those described below. Some of these factors are interrelated
in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of one or more other factors.
The paragraphs below describe what we expect to be the impact on the value of the securities of a change in a specific factor,
assuming all other conditions remain constant. You should understand that the value of your securities at any time prior to maturity
may be significantly less than the issue price. The stated payout from the issuer, including the potential application of the
upside gearing and the downside threshold, only applies if you hold the securities to maturity.
|
|
¨
|
Level of the underlying
. We expect that the value of the securities
at any time prior to maturity will depend substantially on the level of the underlying at that time. If the level of the underlying
decreases following the trade date, the value of your securities will also likely decline, perhaps significantly. Even at a time
when the level of the underlying is greater than the initial underlying level, the value of your securities may nevertheless be
significantly less than the stated principal amount of your securities because of expectations that the level will continue to
fluctuate over the term of the securities, among other reasons.
|
|
¨
|
Volatility of the level of the underlying
. Volatility refers
to the magnitude and frequency of changes in the level of the underlying over any given period. Any increase in the expected volatility
of the level of the underlying may adversely affect the value of the securities.
|
|
¨
|
Interest rates
. We expect that the value of the securities will
be affected by changes in U.S. interest rates. In general, an increase in U.S. interest rates is likely to adversely affect the
value of the securities.
|
|
¨
|
Time remaining to maturity
. At any given time, the value of
the securities may reflect a discount based on the amount of time then remaining to maturity, which will reflect uncertainty about
the change in the level of the underlying over that period.
|
|
¨
|
Creditworthiness of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup
Inc
. The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. Therefore,
actual or anticipated adverse changes in the creditworthiness of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. or Citigroup Inc. may adversely
affect the value of the securities.
|
It
is important for you to understand that the impact of one of the factors discussed above may offset, or magnify, some or all of
any change in the value of the securities attributable to one or more of the other factors. Changes in the level of the underlying
may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities.
|
¨
|
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 decline to zero over the temporary adjustment period. See “Valuation of the Securities” in
this pricing supplement.
|

¨
|
If
a commodity hedging disruption event occurs during the term of the securities, we may redeem the securities early for an amount
that may result in a significant loss on your investment —
See “Additional Terms of the Securities—Commodity
Hedging Disruption Event” in this pricing supplement for information about the events that may constitute a commodity hedging
disruption event. If a commodity hedging disruption event occurs, we may redeem the securities prior to the maturity date for
an amount equal to the early redemption amount determined as of the early redemption notice date. The early redemption amount
will be determined in a manner based upon (but not necessarily identical to) CGMI’s then contemporaneous practices for determining
secondary market bid prices for the securities and similar instruments, subject to the exceptions and more detailed provisions
set forth under “Additional Terms of the Securities—Commodity Hedging Disruption Event” below. As discussed
above, any secondary market bid price is likely to be less than the issue price and, absent favorable changes in market conditions
and other relevant factors, is also likely to be less than the estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover page of
this pricing supplement. Accordingly, if a commodity hedging disruption event occurs, there is a significant likelihood that the
early redemption amount you receive will result in a loss on your investment in the securities. Moreover, in determining the early
redemption amount, the calculation agent will take into account the relevant event that has occurred, which may have a significant
adverse effect on commodity markets generally, resulting in an early redemption amount that is significantly less than the amount
you paid for your securities. You may lose up to all of your investment.
|
The
early redemption amount may be significantly less than the amount you would have received had we not elected to redeem the securities
and had you been able instead to hold them to maturity. For example, the early redemption amount may be determined during a market
disruption that has a significant adverse effect on the early redemption amount. That market disruption may be resolved by the
time of the originally scheduled maturity date and, had your payment on the securities been determined on the scheduled final
valuation date rather than on the early redemption notice date, you might have achieved a significantly better return.
|
¨
|
The
calculation agent may make discretionary determinations in connection with a commodity hedging disruption event and the early
redemption amount that could adversely affect your return upon early redemption —
The calculation agent will be required
to exercise discretion in determining whether a commodity hedging disruption event has occurred. If the calculation agent determines
that a commodity hedging disruption event has occurred and as a result we elect to redeem the securities upon the occurrence of
a commodity hedging disruption event, you may incur a significant loss on your investment in the securities.
|
In
addition, the calculation agent has broad discretion to determine the early redemption amount, including the ability to make adjustments
to proprietary pricing models and inputs to those models in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. The fact that
the calculation agent is our affiliate may cause it to have interests that are adverse to yours as a holder of the securities.
Under the
terms
of the securities, the calculation agent has the authority to make determinations that may protect our economic interests while
resulting in a significant loss to you on your investment in the securities.

Prices
of commodity futures contracts are characterized by high and unpredictable volatility, which could lead to high and unpredictable
volatility in the underlying
—
Market prices of the commodity futures contracts included in the underlying tend
to be highly volatile and may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including the factors that affect the price of any
commodity underlying the commodity futures contracts included in the underlying. The prices of commodities and commodity futures
contracts are subject to variables that may be less significant to the values of traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds.
These variables may create additional investment risks that cause the value of the securities to be more volatile than the values
of traditional securities.
|
As
a general matter, the risk of low liquidity or volatile pricing around the maturity date of a commodity futures contract is greater
than in the case of other futures contracts because (among other factors) a number of market participants take physical delivery
of the underlying commodities. Many commodities are also highly cyclical. The high volatility and cyclical nature of commodity
markets may render such an investment inappropriate as the focus of an investment portfolio.
|
¨
|
Because
the underlying is composed of a basket of futures contracts, any favorable performance with respect to some of these futures contracts
may be offset by unfavorable performance by other futures contracts —
The underlying tracks a basket composed of futures
contracts on all of the commodities in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, of which there are currently 22. Any favorable
performance with respect to some of these futures contracts may be offset by unfavorable performance by other futures contracts.
|
|
¨
|
Holders
of the securities will not benefit from regulatory protections of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission —
The
securities are our direct obligations. The net proceeds to be received by us from the sale of the securities will not be used
to purchase or sell commodity futures contracts or options contracts on commodity futures for the benefit of the holders of securities.
An investment in the securities does not constitute an investment in commodity futures or options contracts on commodity futures,
and holders of the securities will not benefit from the regulatory protections of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the
“CFTC”) afforded to persons who trade in such contracts.
|
|
¨
|
Legal
and regulatory changes could adversely affect the return on and value of the securities —
Futures contracts and options
on futures contracts, including the commodity futures contracts comprising the underlying, are subject to extensive statutes,
regulations and margin requirements. The CFTC and the exchanges on which such futures contracts trade are authorized to take extraordinary
actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits
or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. Furthermore, some of the exchanges
on which such commodity futures contracts trade have regulations designed to limit the amount of fluctuations in futures contract
prices. These limits could adversely affect the market prices of the commodity futures comprising the underlying.
|
In
addition, the regulation of commodity transactions in the U.S. is subject to ongoing modification by government and judicial action.
The effect on the value of the securities of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and
adverse to the interests of holders of the securities. For example, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, which was enacted on July 21, 2010, requires the CFTC to establish limits on the size of the positions any person may hold
in futures contracts on a commodity, options on such futures contracts and swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts.
In particular, the CFTC has proposed rules to establish position limits that will apply to 28 agricultural, metals and energy
futures contracts and futures, options and swaps that are economically equivalent to those futures contracts. The limits will
apply to a person’s combined position in futures, options and swaps on a commodity. The rules, if enacted in their proposed
form, may reduce liquidity in the exchange-traded market for commodity futures, which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on
your payment at maturity. Market participants may decide, or be required, to sell their positions in certain commodity futures
as a result of these rules. While the effects of these or other regulatory developments are difficult to predict, if broad market
selling were to occur, it would likely lead to declines, possibly significant declines, in the price of commodity futures and
therefore, the level of the underlying and the value of the securities.
|
¨
|
Changes
in exchange methodology may affect the value of your securities —
The level of the underlying depends on the settlement
price of commodity futures as determined by the primary exchange on which they trade. Any such exchange may from time to time
change any rule or bylaw or take emergency action under its rules, any of which could adversely affect the settlement price of
such commodity futures and, in turn, your investment in the securities.
|
|
¨
|
Investing
in the securities is not equivalent to investing in commodity futures —
The return on the securities may not reflect
the return you would realize if you actually owned the commodity futures comprising the underlying. You will not have any entitlement
to any commodity futures or any physical commodity by virtue of your investment in the securities.
|
|
¨
|
Distortions
or disruptions of market trading in commodity futures could adversely affect the value of and return on the securities —
The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack
of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. These circumstances
could adversely affect the settlement price of commodity futures and, therefore, the level of the underlying and the value of
and return on the securities. In addition, if a market disruption event occurs on the final valuation date, the determination
of the final underlying level will be subject to postponement and the calculation agent will determine a substitute closing level
of the underlying with respect to the final valuation date in its discretion, as described under “Additional Terms of the
Securities” in this pricing supplement. The calculation agent’s determination of the level of the underlying in this
circumstance may result in an unfavorable return on the securities.
|

¨
|
Although
the underlying tracks futures contracts on the same commodities that comprise the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, its
performance will differ from that of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
—
The underlying is a three-month forward
version of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
. This means that the underlying is composed of futures contracts on the
same commodities, and with the same target weights, as the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, but the underlying tracks futures
contracts with more distant expiration dates than the futures contracts included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
.
At any time, the underlying tracks the futures contracts that the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is scheduled to track
three months in the future. Since one factor affecting the value of a commodity futures contract is the period remaining until
its expiration, this difference will cause the performance of the underlying to differ from the performance of the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
. There can be no assurance that the longer-
|
dated
futures contracts used in the underlying will result in better performance of the underlying as compared to the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
, and such performance may be materially worse.
|
¨
|
There
are a number of reasons why the longer-dated futures contracts tracked by the underlying may underperform the shorter-dated futures
contracts on the same commodities tracked by the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
— The market for a commodity
futures contract may from time to time be in “backwardation”, which is the opposite of “contango”. A “backwardated”
market is one in which futures prices are lower than spot prices, in which case futures prices would tend to rise over time (absent
changes in the spot price). At any time when the market for a commodity futures contract is in “backwardation”, longer-dated
futures contracts are likely to underperform shorter-dated futures contracts on the same commodities. This is because the effects
of backwardation are often more pronounced on shorter-dated futures contracts than on longer-dated futures contracts because of
the near-term supply-demand imbalance that drives the backwardation. In that market condition, as the delivery months of a shorter-dated
futures contract and a longer-dated futures contract become nearer, the settlement price of the shorter-dated futures contract
would increase more rapidly than the price of the longer-dated futures contract, and the shorter-dated futures contract would
therefore outperform the longer-dated futures contract.
|
If
the shorter-dated futures contracts are in a backwardated condition while the longer-dated futures contracts are in contango,
the settlement price of the shorter-dated futures contracts will increase as time passes while the settlement price of the longer-dated
futures contracts will decrease as time passes, potentially leading to an especially significant underperformance of longer-dated
futures contracts relative to shorter-dated futures contracts.
A
longer-dated futures contract may underperform a shorter-dated futures contract on the same commodity to a particularly large
degree when the futures market flips from “contango” to “backwardation”. In that circumstance, there may
have been a significant increase in the settlement price of shorter-dated futures contracts that causes the settlement price of
shorter-dated futures contracts, which was previously lower than the settlement price of longer-dated futures contracts, to exceed
the settlement price of longer-dated futures contracts. This increase in the settlement price of shorter-term futures contracts
may cause shorter-dated futures contracts to significantly outperform longer-dated futures contracts at the time when the increase
occurs. A significant increase in the settlement price of shorter-dated futures contracts may occur, for example, as a result
of a sudden increase in demand for, or an interruption in supply of, the underlying commodity—for example, as a result of
adverse weather conditions or supply shortages caused by cartel activity, labor disruptions, accidents affecting production infrastructure
or other events. If the factors driving the increase in the price of shorter-dated futures contracts are expected to be temporary,
longer-dated futures prices may increase by a smaller amount or not at all.
In
addition, the market for longer-dated futures contracts may be less liquid than the market for shorter-dated futures contracts.
This may result in greater volatility, and less favorable performance, for the longer-dated futures contracts than for the shorter-dated
futures contracts.
|
¨
|
The
securities do not offer direct exposure to the spot prices of physical commodities
—
The securities are linked
to the underlying, which tracks 22 exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, not any physical commodity (or its spot price).
The price of a commodity futures contract reflects the expected value of the physical commodity upon delivery in the future, whereas
the spot price of a physical commodity reflects the immediate delivery value of the commodity. A variety of factors can lead to
a disparity between the expected future price of a commodity and the spot price at a given point in time, such as the cost of
storing the commodity for the term of the futures contract, interest charges incurred to finance the purchase of the commodity
and expectations concerning supply and demand for the commodity. The price movements of a futures contract are typically correlated
with the movements of the spot price of the referenced commodity, but the correlation is generally imperfect and price movements
in the spot market may not be reflected in the futures market (and vice versa). Accordingly, the securities may underperform a
similar investment that is linked to the spot prices of the physical commodities included in the underlying.
|
|
¨
|
The
securities are linked to an excess return index and not a total return index
—
The securities are linked to an
excess return index and not a total return index. An excess return index, such as the underlying, reflects the returns that are
potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the contracts composing that index. By contrast, a “total return”
index, in addition to reflecting those returns, also reflects interest that could be earned on funds committed to the trading
of the underlying futures contracts.
|
|
¨
|
Our
affiliates, or UBS or its affiliates, may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent
with investing in or holding the securities —
Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the level
of the underlying and the value of the securities. Our affiliates, and UBS and its affiliates, publish research from time to time
on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations
that may be inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by our
affiliates or by UBS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice.
These and other activities of our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates may adversely affect the level of the underlying and may
have a negative impact on your interests as a holder of the securities. Investors should make their own independent investigation
of the merits of investing in the securities and the underlying to which the securities are linked.
|
|
¨
|
Trading
and other transactions by our affiliates, or by UBS or its affiliates, may impair the value of the securities —
We have
hedged our exposure under the securities through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who have entered into positions in commodity
futures or in instruments linked to the underlying or commodity futures, and may adjust such positions during the term of the
securities. It is possible that our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the value
of the securities declines. Our affiliates and UBS and its affiliates may also engage in trading in instruments linked to the
underlying on a regular basis as part of their respective general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts,
for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for customers, including block transactions. Such trading and
hedging activities may affect the level of the underlying and reduce the return on your investment in the securities. Our affiliates
or UBS or its affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked
or related to the underlying. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, our affiliates or UBS or
its affiliates could adversely affect the value of the securities. Any of the foregoing activities described in this paragraph
may reflect trading strategies that differ from, or are in direct opposition to, investors’ trading and investment strategies
relating to the securities.
|
|
¨
|
The
calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the securities —
If certain events occur, such as a market disruption event or the discontinuance of the underlying, CGMI, as calculation agent,
will be required to make discretionary judgments that could significantly affect what you receive at maturity. Such judgments
could include, among other things, any level required to be determined under the securities. In addition, if certain events occur,
CGMI will be required to make certain discretionary judgments that could significantly affect your payment at maturity. Such judgments
could include, among other things:
|
|
¨
|
determining whether a market disruption event has occurred;
|
|
¨
|
if a market disruption event occurs on the final valuation date, determining
a substitute closing level of the underlying with respect to the final valuation date; and
|
|
¨
|
selecting a successor underlying or performing an alternative calculation
of the level of the underlying if the underlying is discontinued or materially modified (see “Additional Terms of the Securities—Discontinuance
or Material Modification of the Underlying” in this pricing supplement).
|
In
making these judgments, the calculation agent’s interests as an affiliate of ours could be adverse to your interests as
a holder of the securities.
|
¨
|
Adjustments
to the underlying may affect the value of your securities —
Bloomberg Finance L.P. and UBS Securities LLC (collectively,
the “
index provider
”) may add, delete or substitute the futures contracts that constitute the underlying or
make other methodological changes that could affect the level of the underlying. The index provider may discontinue or suspend
calculation or publication of the underlying at any time without regard to your interests as holders of the securities.
|
|
¨
|
The
U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain —
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 prepaid forward contracts. If the IRS were successful
in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities
might be materially and adversely affected. As described below under “United States Federal Tax Considerations,” in
2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal
income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Any 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 review carefully the section of this pricing supplement entitled
“United States Federal Tax Considerations.” 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.

The diagram below illustrates your hypothetical payment at maturity
for a range of hypothetical percentage changes from the initial underlying level to the final underlying level. The diagram below
is based on a hypothetical upside gearing of 1.70 and does not reflect the actual terms of the securities.
The following table and hypothetical examples below illustrate
the payment at maturity per $10.00 stated principal amount of securities for a hypothetical range of performances for the underlying
from -100.00% to +100.00% and assume an initial underlying level of 190.00, a downside threshold of 133.00 (70.00% of the initial
underlying level) and an upside gearing of 1.70. The actual initial underlying level, downside threshold and upside gearing are
listed on the cover page of this pricing supplement. The hypothetical payment at maturity examples set forth below are for illustrative
purposes only and are not the actual returns applicable to a purchaser of the securities. The actual payment at maturity will be
determined based on the final underlying level on the final valuation date. You should consider carefully whether the securities
are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table and in the examples below have been
rounded for ease of analysis and do not reflect the actual terms

The “Total
Return on Securities at Maturity” is calculated as (a) the payment at maturity per security minus the $10.00 issue price
per security
divided by
(b) the $10.00 issue price per security.
Example 1 —
The final underlying level of 209.00
is greater than the initial underlying level of 190.00, resulting in an underlying return of 10.00%.
Because the underlying
return is 10.00%, Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. would pay you a payment at maturity of $11.70 per $10.00 stated principal
amount of securities (a total return at maturity of 17.00%), calculated as follows:
$10.00 × (1 + (underlying return ×
upside gearing))
$10.00 × (1+ (10.00% × 1.70))
= $11.70
Example 2 — The final underlying level of 171.00 is
less than the initial underlying level of 190.00 (resulting in an underlying return of -10.00%) but greater than the downside threshold
of 133.00.
Because the underlying return is negative and the final underlying level is greater than the downside threshold,
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. would pay you a payment at maturity of $10.00 per $10.00 stated principal amount of securities
(a total return at maturity of 0.00%).
Example 3 — The final underlying level of 57.00 is less
than the initial underlying level of 190.00 (resulting in an underlying return of -70.00%) and less than the downside threshold
of 133.00.
Because the underlying return is negative and the final underlying level is less than the downside threshold, Citigroup
Global Markets Holdings Inc. would pay you a payment at maturity of $3.00 per $10.00 stated principal amount of securities (a total
return at maturity of -70.00%), calculated as follows:
$10.00 × (1 + underlying return)
$10.00 × (1 + -70.00%) = $3.00
If the final underlying level is less than the downside
threshold, you will be fully exposed to the negative underlying return, resulting in a loss on the stated principal amount that
is proportionate to the percentage decline in the level of the underlying. Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant
portion or all of the stated principal amount at maturity. Any payment on the securities, including any repayment of the stated
principal amount at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer and the guarantor, and if the issuer and the guarantor
were to default on their obligations, you could lose your entire investment.
* The total return at maturity is calculated as (a) the payment
at maturity per security minus the $10.00 issue price per security
divided by
(b) the $10.00 issue price per security.
The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
3 Month Forward
|
The underlying is a three-month forward version of the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
. This means that the underlying is composed of futures contracts on the same commodities, and with
the same target weights, as the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, but the underlying tracks futures contracts with more distant
expiration dates than the futures contracts included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
. At any time, the underlying
tracks the futures contracts that the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is scheduled to track three months in the future.
The underlying is calculated using the same methodology as the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
. The underlying is published
by Bloomberg under the ticker symbol “BCOMF3.”
The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is currently composed
of 22 exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities and is designed to provide a broad-based measure of the performance
of commodities as an asset class. It is quoted in U.S. dollars, and reflects the return of underlying commodity futures price movements
only. It reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on physical
commodities constituting the index. The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
was previously known as the Dow Jones–UBS
Commodity Index
SM
. On April 10, 2014, Bloomberg Finance L.P. (“Bloomberg”) and UBS Securities LLC (collectively,
the “index provider”) announced a partnership that has resulted in Bloomberg being responsible for governance, calculation,
distribution and licensing of UBS’s commodity indices. The Dow Jones–UBS Commodity Index
SM
was renamed the
Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
as of July 1, 2014. For more information, see “Annex—The Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
3 Month Forward” below.
“Bloomberg
®
” and “Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
” are service marks of Bloomberg and its affiliates and have been licensed for use for certain
purposes by CGMI and its affiliates. For more information, see “Annex—The Bloomberg Commodity Index

Month Forward—License Agreement” below.
The “closing level” of the underlying on any relevant
day equals the official closing level of the underlying published with respect to that day.
The graph below illustrates the performance of the underlying
from January 2, 2008 to May 26, 2016. The closing level of the underlying on May 26, 2016 was 195.6859. We obtained the closing
levels of the underlying from Bloomberg, and we have not participated in the preparation of or verified such information. The historical
levels of the underlying should not be taken as an indication of future performance and no assurance can be given as to the final
underlying level or any future closing level of the underlying. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the underlying
will result in a positive return on your initial investment and you could lose a significant portion or all of the stated principal
amount at maturity.
Additional
Terms of the Securities
|
General
The terms of the securities are set forth in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and prospectus, as supplemented by this pricing supplement. The accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus
contain important disclosures that are not repeated in this pricing supplement. It is important that you read the accompanying
prospectus supplement and prospectus together with this pricing supplement before deciding whether to invest in the securities.
If the maturity date is not a business day, the payment required
to be made on the maturity date will be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the
originally scheduled maturity date. No interest will be payable as a result of the delay in payment.
A “
business day
” means any day that is not
a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the securities exchanges or banking institutions or trust companies in the City of New York
are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
Definition of Commodity Business Day
A “
commodity business day
” means a day, as
determined in good faith by the calculation agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the relevant exchanges for each relevant
index contract.
The “
relevant exchange
” for any relevant index
contract means the primary exchange or market of trading for that relevant index contract, which as of the date hereof is specified
in Table 1 under “Annex—The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
3 Month Forward.”
A “
relevant index contract
” means any futures
contract included in the underlying.
Consequences of a Market Disruption Event
If a market disruption event has occurred and is continuing on
the final valuation date, the calculation agent will calculate a substitute closing level of the underlying with respect to the
final valuation date in good faith in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the underlying last in effect prior
to commencement of the market disruption event, using:
|
·
|
for each relevant index contract that
did not
suffer a market
disruption event on the final valuation date, the official settlement price of that relevant index contract on the relevant exchange
for that relevant index contract on the final valuation date, and
|
|
·
|
for each relevant index contract that
did
suffer a market disruption
event on the final valuation date, the official settlement price of that relevant index contract on the relevant exchange for that
relevant index contract on the immediately succeeding trading day for that relevant index contract on which no market disruption
event occurs or is continuing with respect to that relevant index contract;
provided,
however, that if a market disruption
event has occurred or is continuing with respect to that relevant index contract on each trading day for that relevant index contract
from and including the final valuation date to and including the business day immediately preceding the maturity date (the “
cut-off
day
”), then the calculation agent will determine the settlement price of that relevant index contract on the cut-off
day acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account the latest available quotation for the settlement
price of the relevant index contract and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant (which price shall be used
in the determination of the final underlying level).
|
A “
market disruption event
” means, on any
date of determination:
|
·
|
the closing level of the underlying is not published by the index provider
on that date; or
|
|
·
|
with respect to any relevant index contract, any of the following events
occurs:
|
|
o
|
any suspension of or limitation imposed on trading in that relevant index contract on the relevant exchange or any other event
that disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for (including
a failure to publish the official settlement price for), that relevant index contract on the relevant exchange, in each case which
the calculation agent determines is material;
|
|
o
|
all trading in that relevant index contract is suspended or otherwise does not occur for the entire day;
|
|
o
|
all trading in that relevant index contract is suspended (which term, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include, for purposes
of this bullet point, the relevant index contract being bid or offered at the limit price) subsequent to the opening of trading
on that date, and trading does not recommence at least ten minutes prior to the actual closing time of the regular trading session
of that relevant index contract on that date; or
|
|
o
|
if the relevant exchange establishes limits on the range within which the price of that relevant index contract may fluctuate,
the official settlement price of that relevant index contract is at the upper or lower limit of that range on that date,
|
in each case as determined by the calculation agent in its sole
discretion.
A “
trading day
” for any relevant index contract
means a day, as determined in good faith by the calculation agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the relevant exchange
applicable to that relevant index contract.
Commodity Hedging Disruption Event
If, on any day during the term of the securities up to but excluding
the final valuation date, the calculation agent determines that a commodity hedging disruption event has occurred, the issuer will
have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem the securities, in whole and not in part, by providing written notice of its
election to exercise that right to the trustee (the date of such notice, the “
early redemption notice date
”)
on a redemption date of our choosing that is no later than the 30th business day immediately following the early redemption notice
date or earlier than the fifth business day following the early redemption notice date. A commodity hedging disruption event need
not be continuing on the early redemption notice date or on the redemption date. The amount due and payable on the securities upon
such redemption will be equal to the early redemption amount determined as of the early redemption notice date.
A “
commodity hedging disruption event
” means
any event or condition following which the issuer or its affiliates are unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to
(i) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any security, option, future, derivative, currency,
instrument, transaction, asset or arrangement that the calculation agent deems necessary to hedge the risk of entering into and
performing our obligations with respect to the securities, whether in the aggregate on a portfolio basis or incrementally on a
trade by trade basis (each a “
hedge position
”) or (ii) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such hedge
position, in each case including (without limitation) if those hedge positions (in whole or in part) are (or, but for the consequent
disposal thereof, would otherwise be) in excess of any allowable position limit(s) in relation to any commodity traded on any exchange(s)
or other trading facility (it being within the sole and absolute discretion of the calculation agent to determine which of the
hedge positions are counted towards that limit).
The “
early redemption amount
” will be the
fair value of the securities determined by the calculation agent as of the early redemption notice date in good faith and in a
manner based upon (but not necessarily identical to) CGMI’s then contemporaneous practices for determining a secondary market
bid price for the securities and similar instruments, taking into account the commodity hedging disruption event that has occurred.
In determining the early redemption amount, the calculation agent may take into account proprietary pricing models and may make
adjustments to those models or inputs to those models in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. The calculation agent
may also take into account other facts, whether or not unique to the issuer or its affiliates, in determining the early
redemption amount so long as it is in good faith and commercially
reasonable. The early redemption amount may result in a significant loss on your securities. See “Risk Factors—If a
commodity hedging disruption event occurs during the term of the securities, we may redeem the securities early for an amount that
may result in a significant loss on your investment” in this pricing supplement.
Under the terms of the securities, the calculation agent will
be required to exercise discretion under certain circumstances, including (i) determining whether a market disruption event or
a commodity hedging disruption event has occurred; (ii) if a market disruption event occurs on the final valuation date, determining
a substitute closing level of the underlying on that day; (iii) if a commodity hedging disruption event occurs, determining the
early redemption amount; (iv) if the underlying is discontinued, selecting a successor index; and (v) in the event of certain changes
in the way the underlying is calculated, performing an alternative calculation of the closing level of the underlying. In exercising
this discretion, the calculation agent will be required to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, but it may
take into account any factors it deems relevant, including, without limitation, whether the applicable event materially interfered
with the issuer’s or its affiliates’ ability to adjust or unwind all or a material portion of any hedge position with
respect to the securities.
Discontinuance or Material Modification of the Underlying
If the index provider discontinues publication of the underlying
and the index provider or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the calculation agent determines, in its
sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued underlying (such index being referred to in this pricing supplement as a
“
successor index
”), then the closing level of the underlying on the final valuation date will be determined
by reference to the level of that successor index published with respect to that day. In such event, the calculation agent will
make such adjustments, if any, to any level of the underlying that is used for purposes of the securities as it determines are
appropriate in the circumstances. Upon any selection by the calculation agent of a successor index, the calculation agent will
cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the issuer and to the holders of the securities.
If the index provider for the underlying discontinues publication
of the underlying prior to, and that discontinuation is continuing on, the final valuation date and the calculation agent determines,
in its sole discretion, that no successor index for the underlying is available at that time, or the calculation agent has previously
selected a successor index for the underlying and publication of that successor index is discontinued prior to, and that discontinuation
is continuing on, the final valuation date, then the calculation agent will determine the closing level of the underlying for the
final valuation date on that date. The closing level of the underlying will be computed by the calculation agent in accordance
with the formula for and method of calculating the underlying or successor index, as applicable, last in effect prior to that discontinuation
using the official settlement price(s) (or, if a market disruption event has occurred with respect to a relevant index contract,
the calculation agent’s good faith estimate of the applicable settlement price(s) that would have prevailed but for that
market disruption event) at the close of the principal trading session on that date of each relevant index contract most recently
composing the underlying or successor index, as applicable, as well as any futures contract required to roll any expiring futures
contract in accordance with the method of calculating the underlying or successor index, as applicable. Notwithstanding these alternative
arrangements, discontinuation of the publication of the underlying or its successor index, as applicable, may adversely affect
the value of the securities.
If at any time the method of calculating the underlying or a
successor index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the underlying or a successor index is in any other
way modified so that it does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the level of the underlying or successor
index, as applicable, had those changes or modifications not been made, then the calculation agent will, at the close of business
in the City of New York on the final valuation date, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the
calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of an index comparable to the underlying or successor index,
as the case may be, as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the calculation agent will calculate the closing
level of the underlying or successor index, as applicable, with reference to the underlying or successor index, as adjusted. Accordingly,
if the method of calculating the underlying or a successor index is modified so that the level of the underlying or successor index
is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification, then the calculation agent will adjust its calculation
of the underlying or successor index, as applicable, in order to arrive at a level of the underlying or successor index, as applicable,
as if there had been no modification.
Events of Default and Acceleration
In case an event of default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus)
with respect to the securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration
of the securities will be determined by the calculation agent and will equal, for each security, the payment at maturity, calculated
as though the final valuation date were the date of such acceleration.
In case of default in payment at maturity of the securities,
no interest will accrue on such overdue payment either before or after the maturity date.
Calculation Agent
The calculation agent for the securities will be CGMI, an affiliate
of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the
calculation agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Citigroup Global Markets
Holdings Inc., Citigroup Inc. and the holders of the securities. The calculation agent is obligated to carry out its duties and
functions in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.
United States Federal Tax Considerations
|
Prospective investors should note that the discussion under
the section called “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement generally does
not apply to the securities issued under this pricing supplement and is superseded by the following discussion. However, the discussion
below is subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Assumption by Citigroup” in the
accompanying prospectus supplement, and you should read it in conjunction with that discussion.
The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income
and certain estate tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities. It applies to you only if you purchase a security
for cash and hold it as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). It does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances
or if you are a holder subject to special rules, such as:
|
·
|
a financial institution;
|
|
·
|
a “regulated investment company”;
|
|
·
|
a tax-exempt entity, including an “individual retirement account”
or “Roth IRA”;
|
|
·
|
a dealer or trader subject to a mark-to-market method of tax accounting
with respect to the securities;
|
|
·
|
a person holding a security as part of a “straddle” or
conversion transaction or one who enters into a “constructive sale” with respect to a security;
|
|
·
|
a person subject to the alternative minimum tax;
|
|
·
|
a U.S. Holder (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the
U.S. dollar; or
|
|
·
|
an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
|
If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes holds securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of
the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership holding securities or a partner in such a partnership,
you should consult your tax adviser as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of securities
to you.
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements,
judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent
to the date of this pricing supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect. This
discussion does not address the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws or the potential application of the Medicare
contribution tax. You should consult your tax adviser about the application of the U.S. federal income and estate tax laws to your
particular situation (including the possibility of alternative treatments of the securities), as well as any tax consequences arising
under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.
Tax Treatment of the Securities
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP,
which is based on current market conditions, the securities should be treated as prepaid forward contracts for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. By purchasing the securities, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to
the contrary) to this treatment.
Due to the absence of statutory, judicial or administrative
authorities that directly address the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities or similar instruments, significant aspects
of the treatment of an investment in the securities are uncertain. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and the IRS
or a court might not agree with the treatment described below. Accordingly, you should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects
of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the securities. Unless otherwise indicated, the following
discussion is based on the treatment of the securities as prepaid forward contracts.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
This section applies only to U.S. Holders. You are a “U.S.
Holder” if for U.S. federal income tax purposes you are a beneficial owner of a security that is:
|
·
|
a citizen or individual resident of the United States;
|
|
·
|
a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state therein or the District of Columbia; or
|
|
·
|
an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income
taxation regardless of its source.
|
Tax Treatment Prior to Maturity
. You should not be required
to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale, exchange or retirement
of the securities as described below.
Taxable Disposition of the Securities
. Upon a taxable
disposition (including a sale, exchange or retirement) of a security, you should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between the amount realized and your tax basis in the relevant security. Your tax basis in a security should equal the amount you
paid to acquire it. The gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the taxable disposition you have
held the security for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. Long-term capital gains recognized by
non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to taxation at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations.
Possible Alternative Tax Treatments
of an Investment in the Securities
Alternative U.S. federal income tax treatments of the securities
are possible that, if applied, could materially and adversely affect the timing and/or character of income, gain or loss with respect
to the securities. It is possible, for example, that the securities could be treated as debt
instruments issued by us. Under this treatment, the securities
would be subject to Treasury regulations relating to the taxation of contingent payment debt instruments. In this case, regardless
of your method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you would be required to accrue income based on our comparable
yield for similar non-contingent debt, determined as of the time of issuance of the securities, in each year that you held the
securities, even though we are not required to make any payment with respect to the securities until retirement. In addition, any
gain on the sale, exchange or retirement of the securities would be treated as ordinary income.
Other possible U.S. federal income tax treatments of the securities
could also affect the timing and character of income or loss with respect to the securities. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department
and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”
and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over
the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss
with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature
of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive
ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and
impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any 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 the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented
by this notice.
Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies only to Non-U.S. Holders. You are a “Non-U.S.
Holder” if for U.S. federal income tax purposes you are a beneficial owner of a security that is:
|
·
|
an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;
|
|
·
|
a foreign corporation; or
|
|
·
|
a foreign estate or trust.
|
You are not a Non-U.S. Holder for the purposes of this discussion
if you are (i) an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition or (ii)
a former citizen or resident of the United States. If you are or may become such a person during the period in which you hold a
security, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities.
Taxable Disposition of the Securities
. You generally should
not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of your securities, provided that income in respect of the
securities is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
If you are engaged in a U.S. trade or business, and if income
from the securities is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, you generally will be subject to regular
U.S. federal income tax with respect to that income in the same manner as if you were a U.S. Holder, unless an applicable income
tax treaty provides otherwise. In this event, if you are a corporation, you should also consider the potential application of a
30% (or lower treaty rate) branch profits tax.
Tax Consequences Under Possible Alternative Treatments
.
Subject to the discussion under “FATCA Legislation” below, if all or any portion of a security were recharacterized
as a debt instrument, any payment made to you with respect to the security generally would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding
or income tax, provided that: (i) income or gain in respect of the security is not effectively connected with your conduct of a
trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you provide an appropriate IRS Form W-8 certifying under penalties of perjury
that you are not a United States person.
Other U.S. federal income tax treatments of the securities are
also possible. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income
tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Among the issues addressed in the notice is the
degree, if any, to which any income with respect to instruments such as the securities should be subject to U.S. withholding tax.
While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, it is possible that any Treasury regulations
or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues might materially and adversely affect the withholding tax consequences
of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. If withholding applies to the securities, we will not be
required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax
If you are an individual Non-U.S. Holder or an entity the property
of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example,
a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), you should
note that, absent an applicable treaty exemption, the securities may be treated as U.S. situs property subject to U.S. federal
estate tax. If you are such an individual or entity, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal estate tax
consequences of an investment in the securities.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payment of the proceeds of a taxable disposition of the securities
may be subject to information reporting and, if you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer
identification number if you are a U.S. Holder) or meet certain other conditions, may also be subject to backup withholding at
the rate specified in the Code. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder that provides an appropriate IRS Form W-8, you will generally establish
an exemption from backup withholding. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded
or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the relevant information is timely furnished to the IRS.
FATCA Legislation
Legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” generally
imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to
certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An
intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the non-U.S. entity’s jurisdiction may
modify these requirements. This legislation generally applies
to certain financial instruments that are treated as paying U.S.-source interest or other U.S.-source “fixed or determinable
annual or periodical” income (“FDAP income”). Withholding (if applicable) applies to payments of U.S.-source
FDAP income and, for dispositions after December 31, 2018, to payments of gross proceeds of the disposition (including upon retirement)
of certain financial instruments treated as providing for U.S.-source interest or dividends. If the securities were recharacterized
as debt instruments, this legislation would apply to the securities. If withholding applies to the securities, we will not be required
to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application
of FATCA to the securities.
You should read the section entitled “United States Federal
Tax Considerations – Assumption by Citigroup” 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 securities.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
|
CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
and the lead agent for the sale of the securities, will receive an underwriting discount of $0.50 for each security sold in this
offering. UBS, as agent for sales of the securities, has agreed to purchase from CGMI, and CGMI has agreed to sell to UBS, all
of the securities sold in this offering for $9.50 per security. UBS proposes to offer the securities to the public at a price of
$10.00 per security. UBS will receive an underwriting discount of $0.50 per security for each security it sells to the public.
The underwriting discount will be received by UBS and its financial advisors collectively. If all of the securities are not sold
at the initial offering price, CGMI may change the public offering price and other selling terms.
CGMI is an affiliate of ours. Accordingly, this offering will
conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in Rule
5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc. or its subsidiaries have investment
discretion will not be permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of
the client.
See “Plan of Distribution” in each of the accompanying
prospectus supplement and prospectus for additional information.
A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the securities
will be used to hedge our obligations under the securities. We have hedged our obligations under the securities through CGMI or
other of our affiliates. It is expected that CGMI or such other affiliates may profit from this hedging activity even if the value
of the securities declines. This hedging activity could affect the closing level of the underlying and, therefore, the value of
and your return on the securities. For additional information on the ways in which our counterparties may hedge our obligations
under the securities, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus.
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 “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.
During a temporary adjustment period immediately 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 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 over
the temporary adjustment period. CGMI currently expects that the temporary adjustment period will be approximately 11.5 months,
but the actual length of the temporary adjustment period may be shortened due to various factors, such as the volume of secondary
market purchases of the securities and other factors that cannot be predicted. However, CGMI is not obligated to buy the securities
from investors at any time. See “Risk Factors—The securities will not be listed on a securities exchange and you may
not be able to sell them prior to maturity.”
Benefit Plan Investor Considerations
|
A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit
plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“
ERISA
”), including entities
such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans
(collectively, “
ERISA plans
”), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA
plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the securities. Among other factors, the fiduciary should
consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with
the documents and instruments governing the ERISA plan.
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “
Code
”), prohibit ERISA plans, as well as plans (including individual retirement
accounts and Keogh plans) subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA plans, “
plans
”), from engaging
in certain transactions involving the “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA
or “disqualified persons” under Section 4975 of the Code (in either case, “
parties in interest
”)
with respect to such plans. As a result of our business, we, and our current and future affiliates, may be parties in interest
with respect to many plans. Where we (or our affiliate) are a Party in Interest with respect to a plan (either directly or by reason
of our ownership interests in our directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the securities by or
on behalf of the plan could be a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless exemptive
relief were available under an applicable exemption (as described below).
Certain prohibited transaction class exemptions (“
PTCEs
”)
issued by the U.S. Department of Labor may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from
the purchase or holding of the securities. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house
asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts)
and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17)
and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide a limited exemption for the purchase and sale of the securities and related lending
transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates have or exercise any discretionary authority
or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of the plan involved in the transaction and provided further
that the plan pays no more, and receives no less, than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction (the so-called
“service provider exemption”). There can be no assurance that any of these statutory or class exemptions will be available
with respect to transactions involving the securities.
Accordingly, the securities may not be purchased or held by any
plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any plan’s investment in the entity
(a “
plan asset entity
”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any plan, unless such purchaser
or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or the service provider
exemption or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the securities will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each purchaser or holder of the securities or any interest therein will be
deemed to have represented by its purchase or holding of the securities that (a) it is not a plan and its purchase and holding
of the securities is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan or (b) its purchase and holding of the
securities will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Certain governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA),
church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) (“
non-ERISA
arrangements
”) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or regulations (“
similar laws
”). Accordingly,
each such purchaser or holder of the securities shall be required to represent (and deemed to have represented by its purchase
of the securities) that such purchase and holding is not prohibited under applicable similar laws.
Due to the complexity of these rules, it is particularly important
that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan
consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any similar laws and the availability of exemptive
relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14, the service provider exemption or some other basis on which the acquisition
and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any
applicable similar laws.
The securities are contractual financial instruments. The financial
exposure provided by the securities is not a substitute or proxy for, and is not intended as a substitute or proxy for, individualized
investment management or advice for the benefit of any purchaser or holder of the securities. The securities have not been designed
and will not be administered in a manner intended to reflect the individualized needs and objectives of any purchaser or holder
of the securities.
Each purchaser or holder of any securities acknowledges and agrees
that:
(i) the purchaser or holder or its fiduciary has made
and shall make all investment decisions for the purchaser or holder and the purchaser or holder has not relied and shall not rely
in any way upon us or our affiliates to act as a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder with respect to (A) the design
and terms of the securities, (B) the purchaser or holder’s investment in the securities, or (C) the exercise of or failure
to exercise any rights we have under or with respect to the securities;
(ii) we and our affiliates have acted and will act solely
for our own account in connection with (A) all transactions relating to the securities and (B) all hedging transactions in connection
with our obligations under the securities;
(iii) any and all assets and positions relating to hedging
transactions by us or our affiliates are assets and positions of those entities and are not assets and positions held for the benefit
of the purchaser or holder;
(iv) our interests are adverse to the interests of the
purchaser or holder; and
(v) neither we nor any of our affiliates is a fiduciary
or adviser of the purchaser or holder in connection with any such assets, positions or transactions, and any information that we
or any of our affiliates may provide is not intended to be impartial investment advice.
Each purchaser and holder of the securities has exclusive responsibility
for ensuring that its purchase, holding and subsequent disposition of the securities does not violate the fiduciary or prohibited
transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or any applicable similar laws. The sale of any securities to any plan is in no respect a
representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements
with respect to investments by plans or non-ERISA arrangements generally or any particular plan or non-ERISA arrangement, or that
such an investment is appropriate for plans or non-ERISA arrangements generally or any particular plan or non-ERISA arrangement.
However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement
annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts,
will not be permitted to purchase or hold the securities if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of CGMI
or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase
of securities by the account, plan or annuity.

Annex—The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
3 Month Forward
The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
3 Month Forward (the
“underlying”) is a three-month forward version of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
. This means that the underlying
is composed of futures contracts on the same commodities, and with the same target weights, as the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
,
but the underlying tracks futures contracts with more distant expiration dates than the futures contracts included in the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
. At any time, the underlying tracks the futures contracts that the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is scheduled to track three months in the future. The underlying is calculated using the same methodology as the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
.
Although the underlying is referred to as a “3 month forward”
index, you should understand that the reference to “3 months” does not necessarily mean that the futures contracts
underlying the underlying have delivery months that are 3 months in the future. The length of time to the delivery months of the
futures contracts underlying the underlying varies. You should carefully review the section “—Index Calculation—Determination
of the Lead Future and the Next Future” below to understand which futures contracts will underlie the underlying at any given
time.
The underlying is merely a mathematical calculation. By investing
in the securities, investors will not have any ownership or other interest in any of the commodity futures contracts or commodities
underlying the underlying.
This section provides only a summary of the published methodology
by which the underlying is constructed and calculated. For the complete methodology, you should consult the published materials
made available by the index provider. The summary below is based on those materials published, which we have not independently
verified.
Overview
The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is currently composed
of 22 exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities and is designed to provide a broad-based measure of the performance
of commodities as an asset class. The table below lists the commodities that are included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
for 2016, together with the designated futures contract (the “designated contract”) that is used for each commodity
in the calculation of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, the exchange on which that designated contract trades and the
target weight for that designated contract in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
as of January 2016.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is designed to reflect
the performance of a hypothetical continuously maintained rolling position in commodity futures contracts. A commodity futures
contract is an agreement between two parties for the purchase and sale of a specified quantity of a particular commodity on a specified
future date, at a price fixed at the time of entry into the contract. For example, a futures contract entered into in January may
specify a March delivery month, which would mean that the parties to the contract would be required to pay for and deliver the
underlying commodity in March for a price agreed upon in January. Unlike stocks, which entitle the holder to a continuing stake
in a corporation, futures contracts have a limited life and, upon expiration, require actual delivery of the underlying commodity.
In order to reflect continuing exposure to the underlying commodity and avoid physical delivery, the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
must therefore include a mechanism so that, as the delivery month of the relevant underlying futures contract nears, the exposure
is
“rolled” out of the current underlying futures contract
and into a futures contract on the same commodity with a later delivery month. See “—Index Calculation” below
for the relevant delivery month at any given time for the designated contracts underlying the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
and the underlying and for a description of the mechanism for periodically rolling exposure into designated contracts with later
delivery months.
The underlying is calculated in the same manner as the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
except that the underlying designated contracts have more distant delivery months than the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
. For example, at the beginning of January, the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
may track the
value of a designated contract with a March delivery month, while the underlying may track the value of a designated contract on
the same commodity but with a May delivery month. See “—Index Calculation” below.
Bloomberg determines the commodities that will compose the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
and their respective weights on an annual basis pursuant to the methodology described below under
“—Index Construction.” Bloomberg calculates the level of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
on each BCOM
business day (as defined below) as described below under “—Index Calculation.”
The underlying is an “excess return” index, which
means that the performance of the underlying is calculated based solely on changes in the value of the underlying designated contracts
and does not reflect the additional return that a direct investor in futures contracts could achieve on cash collateral posted
in connection with its investment.
Index Construction
Bloomberg determines the commodities that will compose the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
(and therefore the underlying) and their respective weights on an annual basis. These determinations
are made by Bloomberg in the third or fourth quarter of each year (the “calculation period”) and are implemented in
the following January.
Selection of Eligible Commodities and Designated Futures Contracts
To make these determinations each year, Bloomberg first identifies
a list of commodities that are eligible for inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
in the next year. In identifying
these commodities, Bloomberg has stated that it seeks to select commodities that are sufficiently significant to the world economy
to merit consideration and that are tradable through a qualifying related futures contract. For each eligible commodity, Bloomberg
then identifies the designated contract that will be the reference futures contract for that commodity. Historically, Bloomberg
has chosen for each commodity one designated contract that is traded in North America and denominated in U.S. dollars (with the
exception of several London Metals Exchange contracts and with the exception of crude oil and wheat, which each have two designated
contracts). It is possible that Bloomberg will in the future select more than one designated contract for additional commodities
or may select other designated contracts that are traded outside of the United States or in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Determination of Target Weights (Commodity
Index Percentages)
Determination of Interim Commodity
Index Percentage Based on Liquidity and Production Data
Bloomberg determines the target
weight for each commodity in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
based on the relative liquidity and production percentages
for each of the eligible commodities. The “Commodity Liquidity Percentage” for each commodity is determined by taking
the average of the product of the annual trading volume and the average U.S. dollar settlement price, observed monthly, of the
relevant designated contract (or, in the case of copper, the LME copper contract) for the five-year period ending in the year most
recently ended prior to the calculation period, and dividing the result by the sum of such products for all such contracts for
all eligible commodities. The “Commodity Production Percentage” is determined for each commodity by taking the average
of annual production figures for that commodity, valued at the average U.S. dollar settlement price, observed monthly, of the applicable
designated contract (or, in the case of copper, the LME copper contract), for the most recent five-year period for which production
figures are available for all commodities included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
and dividing the result by the
sum of such amounts for all eligible commodities. In calculating production figures, Bloomberg applies special rules to avoid double-counting
eligible commodities that are derivative of other eligible commodities. The Commodity Liquidity Percentage and the Commodity Production
Percentage are then combined, using 2/3 of the Commodity Liquidity Percentage and 1/3 of the Commodity Production Percentage, to
establish the interim “Commodity Index Percentage” for each eligible commodity.
Adjustments to Interim Commodity
Index Percentage to Determine Final Commodity Index Percentage
Following that determination, any
eligible commodity with an interim Commodity Index Percentage of less than 0.4% will be excluded from the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
,
and each eligible commodity with an interim Commodity Index Percentage of 0.4% or greater will be included in the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
for the next year. The interim Commodity Index Percentages of all excluded commodities are allocated equally
among the designated contracts for the commodities that will be included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
. The resulting
interim Commodity Index Percentage for each of the commodities that will be included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is then further adjusted in accordance with the following diversification rules:
|
·
|
No single commodity, together with its derivatives (
e.g.
, crude
oil, together with heating oil and unleaded gasoline), may constitute more than 25% of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
.
|
|
·
|
No single commodity (
e.g.
, natural gas or silver) may constitute
more than 15% of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
.
|
|
·
|
No related group of commodities designated by Bloomberg as a “Commodity
Group” (
e.g.
, energy, precious metals, livestock or grains) may constitute more than 33% of the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
.
|
|
·
|
No single commodity included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
may constitute less than 2% of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, as liquidity allows.
|
An adjustment is also made so that
the Commodity Index Percentages for gold and silver reflect solely their Commodity Liquidity Percentages, without taking into account
their Commodity Production Percentages. Finally, an adjustment is made, if necessary, to prevent the Commodity Index Percentage
for any commodity from exceeding 3.5 times its Commodity Liquidity
Percentage.
If the interim Commodity Index Percentage for any commodity is reduced following application of the above rules, the excess is
allocated among the other commodities. If the Commodity Index Percentage for any commodity is increased following application
of the last bullet above, that amount is drawn from the other commodities. The Commodity Index Percentage for each commodity that
results from the application of the above rules is the target weight for that commodity in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
for the next year.
Determination of Commodity Index Multipliers
On the fourth BCOM business day of each year,
each designated contract in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is given a number of units (referred to as its “Commodity
Index Multiplier”) such that its weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
, based on the settlement price of that
designated contract on its exchange on that day, represents its target weight. After that day, the Commodity Index Multiplier will
remain fixed, and the actual weight of that designated contract in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will fluctuate based
on changes in the settlement prices of that designated contract and each other designated contract in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
.
A “BCOM business day” is a day on which the sum of the Commodity Index Percentages for the commodities in the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
that are open for trading is greater than 50%.
Index Calculation
Overview
Bloomberg calculates an official level for the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
and the underlying on each BCOM business day.
In general, on each BCOM business day, the official level of
the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will be equal to the level of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
on the prior
BCOM business day plus any percentage increase, or minus any percentage decrease, in the aggregate settlement price of the designated
contracts then underlying the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
from the prior BCOM business day to the current BCOM business
day. The aggregate settlement price of the designated contracts underlying the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
on any BCOM
business day is determined based on the Commodity Index Multiplier of each designated contract (representing the number of units
of that designated contract in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
) and the official settlement price, as reported by the
exchange on which it trades, in U.S. dollars for that designated contract on that BCOM business day. The official level of the
underlying is calculated in the same manner.
Determining the Lead Future and the Next Future
At any given time, the designated contract for each commodity
that will underlie the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will be the designated contract that is either the lead future or
the next future at that time. On any day in any given month, for the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
(which, for the avoidance
of doubt, is not the underlying), the “lead future” is the designated contract with the delivery month specified in
the table below in the column that corresponds to that month, and the “next future” is the designated contract with
the delivery month specified in the column immediately to the right of that column (or, in the case of the December column, the
January column). For example, on any day in January, the lead future for Natural Gas is the designated contract specifying a delivery
month of March, because March is the month specified in the row for Natural Gas under the column for January. On any day in January,
the next future for Natural Gas is also the designated contract specifying a delivery month of March, because March also appears
under the column for February (which is the column immediately to the right of the column for January). On any day in February,
the lead future for Natural Gas will continue to be the designated contract specifying a delivery month of March, because March
appears in the row for Natural Gas under the column for February. However, the next future for any day in February is the designated
contract specifying a delivery month of May, because May is specified in the column immediately to the right of the column for
February.

For purposes of the underlying, the lead future and next future
on any day in any given month are the designated contracts that would be the lead future and next future for the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
three months in the future. For example, for purposes of the underlying, on any day in January, the lead future
for Natural Gas is the designated contract specifying the delivery month that appears in Table 2 above in the row for Natural Gas
under the column for April (since April is 3 months forward from January), and the next future is the designated contract specifying
the delivery month that appears under the column for May. In Table 3 below, Table 2 has been modified to indicate, in the column
for each month, the lead future for each commodity in the underlying.

Rolling Process
For the first through fifth BCOM business days of each month,
the level of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will reflect the percentage change in the aggregate settlement price of
the lead futures for that month from the prior BCOM business day to the current BCOM business day. For the sixth through tenth
BCOM business days of each month, the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will gradually shift its exposure, at a rate of 20%
per BCOM business day, from the lead futures for that month to the next futures for that month. For example,
on the sixth BCOM business day of a month, the level of the Bloomberg
Commodity Index
SM
will reflect the percentage change from the prior BCOM business day in the aggregate settlement price
of a basket composed 80% of the lead futures for that month and 20% of the next futures for that month. On the seventh BCOM business
day of a month, the level of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will reflect the percentage change from the prior BCOM
business day in the aggregate settlement price of a basket composed 60% of the lead futures for that month and 40% of the next
futures for that month, and so on until the tenth BCOM business day of the month, when the level of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will reflect the percentage change from the prior BCOM business day in the aggregate settlement price of a basket composed 100%
of the next futures for that month. The level of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
will continue to reflect the percentage
change from the prior BCOM business day in the aggregate settlement price of the next futures for that month until the end of the
month (and for the first five BCOM business days of the following month, when those next futures will have become the lead futures
for the new month). If Bloomberg determines that a market disruption event has occurred with respect to any designated contract
on any day when the exposure of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
to that designated contract would otherwise be rolled
from the lead futures to the next futures, that roll will be postponed until the market disruption no longer exists. The underlying
is calculated in the same manner, but with reference to the lead futures and next futures as described in Table 3 above.
License Agreement
“Bloomberg
®
” and “Bloomberg
Commodity Index” are service marks of Bloomberg and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by CGMI and its affiliates
(“Licensee”). The license agreement requires the following statements to be made in this pricing supplement.
The securities (the “products”) are not sponsored,
endorsed, sold or promoted by Bloomberg, UBS or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. None of Bloomberg, UBS or any of their
subsidiaries or affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of or counterparties to the
products or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities or commodities generally or in the securities
particularly. The only relationship of Bloomberg, UBS or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates to the Licensee is the licensing
of certain trademarks, trade names and service marks and of the Bloomberg Commodities Index
SM
, which is determined,
composed and calculated by Bloomberg in conjunction with UBS without regard to the Licensee or the products. Bloomberg and UBS
have no obligation to take the needs of the Licensee or the owners of or counterparties to the products into consideration in determining,
composing or calculating the Bloomberg Commodities Index
SM
. None of Bloomberg, UBS or any of their respective subsidiaries
or affiliates is responsible for or has participated in the determination of the timing of, prices at, or quantities of the securities
to be issued or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the securities are to be converted into cash. None
of Bloomberg, UBS or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates shall have any obligation or liability, including, without limitation,
to customers in respect of the products, in connection with the administration, marketing or trading of the products. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, UBS and its subsidiaries and affiliates may independently issue and/or sponsor financial products unrelated to the
products currently being issued by Licensee, but which may be similar to and competitive with the products. In addition, UBS and
its subsidiaries and affiliates actively trade commodities, commodity indexes and commodity futures (including the Bloomberg Commodity
Index
SM
), as well as swaps, options and derivatives which are linked to the performance of such commodities, commodity
indexes and commodity futures. It is possible that this trading activity will affect the value of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
and the products.
This pricing supplement relates only to the securities, and does
not relate to the exchange-traded physical commodities underlying any of the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
components.
Purchasers of the securities should not conclude that the inclusion of a futures contract in the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
is any form of investment recommendation of the futures contract or the underlying exchange-traded physical commodity by Bloomberg,
UBS or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. The information in this pricing supplement regarding the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
components has been derived solely from publicly available documents. None of Bloomberg, UBS or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates
has made any due diligence inquiries with respect to the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
components in connection with products.

or any other publicly available information regarding the Bloomberg Commodity Index
SM
components, including without
limitation a description of factors that affect the prices of such components, are accurate or complete.

OF BLOOMBERG, UBS OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR INTERRUPTIONS
THEREIN. NONE OF BLOOMBERG, UBS OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES MAKES ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO RESULTS
TO BE OBTAINED BY THE LICENSEE, OWNERS OF OR COUNTERPARTIES TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FROM THE USE OF THE BLOOMBERG
COMMODITY INDEX
SM
OR ANY DATA RELATED THERETO. NONE OF BLOOMBERG, UBS OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES MAKES
ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, BLOOMBERG, ITS LICENSORS (INCLUDING UBS), AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS,
AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND VENDORS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INJURY OR DAMAGES—WHETHER DIRECT,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE—ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT OR ANY DATA OR VALUES RELATING
THERETO—WHETHER ARISING FROM THEIR NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. THERE ARE NO THIRD
PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF ANY AGREEMENTS OR ARRANGEMENTS AMONG BLOOMBERG, UBS AND THE LICENSEE, OTHER THAN UBS AG.
