* Each valuation date is subject to postponement if such date is not a scheduled trading day or certain market disruption events occur, as described in the accompanying product supplement. Each potential redemption date is subject to postponement on the same basis as a valuation date.
** If the valuation date immediately preceding any contingent coupon payment date (other than the final valuation date) is postponed, that contingent coupon payment date will also be postponed so that it falls on the third business day after such valuation date, as postponed.
Maturity date:
Unless earlier automatically redeemed, December 11, 2025
Contingent coupon:
On each quarterly contingent coupon payment date, unless previously automatically redeemed, the securities will pay a contingent coupon equal to 2.70% of the stated principal amount of the securities (10.80% per annum) if and only if the closing price of the underlying shares on the related valuation date is greater than or equal to the downside threshold price. If the closing price of the underlying shares on any quarterly valuation date is less than the downside threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date.
Payment at maturity1:
If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount security you hold at maturity, you will receive cash in an amount determined as follows:
●
If the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold price: $1,000 + the contingent coupon payment due at maturity
●
If the final share price is less than the downside threshold price:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × the share return)
If the final share price is less than the downside threshold price, you will receive less, and possibly significantly less, than 60.00% of the stated principal amount of your securities at maturity, and you will not receive any contingent coupon payment at maturity.
Automatic early redemption:
If, on any potential redemption date, the closing price of the underlying shares on that date is greater than or equal to the initial share price, each security you then hold will be automatically redeemed on the related contingent coupon payment date for an amount in cash equal to the early redemption payment. If the securities are redeemed, no further payments will be made.
Early redemption payment:
The stated principal amount of $1,000 per security plus the related contingent coupon payment
Initial share price:
The closing price of the underlying shares on the pricing date
Final share price:
The closing price of the underlying shares on the final valuation date
Downside threshold price:
60.00% of the initial share price
Share return:
(i) The final share price minus the initial share price, divided by (ii) the initial share price

●
You may lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

You will not receive any contingent coupon payment for any quarter in which the closing price of the underlying shares is less than the downside threshold price on the related valuation date.

The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.

The value of the securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors.
●
Immediately following issuance, any secondary market bid price provided by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and the value that will be indicated on any brokerage account statements prepared by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or its affiliates, will reflect a temporary upward adjustment.
●
Governmental regulatory actions, such as sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the securities.

If the underlying shares are delisted, we may call the securities prior to maturity for an amount that may be less than the stated principal amount.
