• Linked
to the worst performing of the S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the
EURO STOXX 50® Index (each referred to as an “underlying”)
• Unlike
ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of
principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic redemption prior to maturity upon the terms described below.
Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon, whether the securities are automatically redeemed prior to maturity and,
if they are not automatically redeemed, whether you are repaid the stated principal amount of your securities at maturity
will depend in each case on the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the relevant valuation date. The worst
performing underlying on any valuation date is the underlying that has the lowest underlying performance factor on that
valuation date
• Contingent Coupon. The securities will
pay a contingent coupon on a periodic basis until the earlier of maturity or automatic redemption if, and only if, the
closing value of the worst performing underlying on the relevant valuation date is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier
value. However, if the closing value of the worst performing underlying on a valuation date is less than its coupon barrier value,
you will not receive any contingent coupon on the relevant contingent coupon date. If the closing value of the worst performing
underlying is less than its coupon barrier value on every valuation date, you will not receive any contingent coupons throughout
the entire term of the securities. The contingent coupon will be determined on the pricing date and will be equal to 1.75% to
2.00% of the stated principal amount (equivalent to a contingent coupon rate of 7% to 8% per annum)
• Automatic Redemption. If the closing
value of the worst performing underlying on any potential autocall date from May 2020 to August 2023, inclusive, is greater
than or equal to its initial underlying value, we will automatically redeem the securities for the stated principal amount
plus the related contingent coupon payment
•
Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities
are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive the stated principal amount at maturity if, and only if,
the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is greater than or equal to its final barrier
value. If the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its final barrier value,
you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the stated principal amount of your securities
• The
coupon barrier value and final barrier value for each underlying are each equal to 70% of its initial underlying value
• If
the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, you will have full downside exposure to the worst performing
underlying from its initial underlying value if its closing value on the final valuation date is less than its final barrier
value, but you will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying and will not receive any dividends on securities
included in any underlying
•
Your return on the securities will depend
solely on the performance of the underlying that is the worst performing underlying on each valuation date. You
will not benefit in any way from the performance of any better performing underlying. Therefore, you will be adversely
affected if any underlying performs poorly, even if any other underlying performs favorably
•
All payments on the securities are subject
to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
and Citigroup Inc. default on their obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment
• The
securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and, accordingly, may have limited or no liquidity. You should
not invest in the securities unless you are willing to hold them to maturity
|
* Expected. To the extent that the issuer makes any change to
the expected pricing date or expected issue date, the valuation dates and maturity date may also be changed in the issuer’s
discretion to ensure that the term of the securities remains the same.
On the date of the related preliminary pricing supplement, Citigroup
Global Markets Holdings Inc. expects that the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be at least $940.00 per
security, which will be less than the public offering price. The estimated value of the securities is based on CGMI’s proprietary
pricing models and Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.’s internal funding rate. It is not an indication of actual profit
to CGMI or other of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.’s affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at
which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you at any time after issuance. See “Valuation of
the Securities” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
|
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities
involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on
page 4 in this term sheet, “Summary Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and “Risk
Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement.
This introductory term sheet does not provide
all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision.
Investors should carefully review the accompanying
preliminary pricing supplement, product supplement, underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus before making a
decision to invest in the securities.
NOT
A BANK DEPOSIT AND NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY
Contingent Coupon Payments
On
each contingent coupon payment date, unless previously redeemed, the securities will pay a contingent coupon equal to 1.75% to
2.00% of the stated principal amount of the securities (equivalent to a contingent coupon rate of 7% to 8% per annum) (to be determined
on the pricing date) if and only if the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the immediately preceding valuation
date is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier value.
If
the closing value of the worst performing underlying on any valuation date is less than its coupon barrier value, you will not
receive any contingent coupon payment on the immediately following contingent coupon payment date.
Automatic Early Redemption
If,
on any potential autocall date, the closing value of the worst performing underlying is greater than or equal to its initial underlying
value, each security you then hold will be automatically redeemed on the immediately following contingent coupon payment date
for an amount in cash equal to $1,000 plus the related contingent coupon payment.
If
the securities are automatically redeemed, they will cease to be outstanding on the related contingent coupon payment date and
you will have no further rights under the securities after such contingent coupon payment date.
Payment at Maturity
If
the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive at maturity for each security you then hold
(in addition to the contingent coupon due at maturity, if any):
|
▪
|
if
the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is greater
than or equal to its final barrier value: $1,000;
or
|
|
▪
|
if
the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less
than its final barrier value:
|
$1,000
× the underlying performance factor of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date
If
the closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its final barrier value, you will
receive significantly less than the stated principal amount of your securities, and possibly nothing, at maturity, and you will
not receive any contingent coupon payment at maturity.
Hypothetical
payout profile
|
|
The
following profile illustrates the potential payment at maturity on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon
payment, if any) for a range of hypothetical performances of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date
from its initial underlying value to its closing value on the final valuation date, assuming the securities have not been
automatically redeemed prior to the maturity date.
This
graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return on the securities will depend on the actual
closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date and whether you hold your securities to the
maturity date. The performance of any better performing underlying is not relevant to your return on the securities.
|
|
|
Hypothetical
Returns
|
|
If the securities are automatically
redeemed:
If the securities are automatically redeemed
prior to maturity, you will receive the stated principal amount of your securities plus the related contingent coupon payment
on the immediately following contingent coupon payment date. In the event the securities are automatically redeemed, your total
return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to such contingent coupon payment date and the
contingent coupon payment received on such contingent coupon payment date.
|
If the securities are not automatically
redeemed:
If
the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical underlying
performance factors of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date, the hypothetical payment at maturity payable
at maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any). The underlying performance factor of the worst
performing underlying on the final valuation date is its closing value on the final valuation date divided by its initial
underlying value.

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon
payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive return based
on the payment at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during
the term of the securities.
The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis.
If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, the actual amount you will receive at maturity will depend
on the actual closing value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date. The performance of any better performing
underlying is not relevant to your return on the securities.
Selected risk considerations
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 underlyings. Accordingly, the securities are
suitable only for investors who are capable of understanding the complexities and risks of the securities. You should consult your
own financial, tax and legal advisors as to the risks of an investment in the securities and the suitability of the securities
in light of your particular circumstances.
The following is a summary of certain key risk factors for investors
in the securities. You should read this summary together with the full description of the risk considerations provided for in the
Preliminary Pricing Supplement and the more detailed description of risks relating to an investment in the securities contained
in the section “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” beginning on page EA-7 in the accompanying product supplement.
You should also carefully read the risk factors included in the accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated
by reference in the accompanying prospectus, including Citigroup Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which describe risks relating to the business of Citigroup Inc. more generally.
