· Linked to the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying”) · Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a payment at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the stated principal amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the underlying from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, subject to the maximum return at maturity. The payment at maturity will reflect the following terms: o If the value of the underlying increases, you will receive the stated principal amount plus 100% participation in the upside performance of the underlying, subject to the maximum return at maturity o If the value of the underlying decreases, but the decrease is not more than 15% (the “buffer percentage”), you will be repaid the stated principal amount o If the value of the underlying decreases by more than the buffer percentage, you will receive less than the stated principal amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the value of the underlying in excess of the buffer percentage · Investors may lose up to 85% of the stated principal amount · The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If we default on our obligations under the securities and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations under the securities, you may not receive anything owed to you under the securities. · No periodic interest payments or dividends · 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 |
On the date of the related pricing supplement, the estimated value of the securities is $923.50 per security, which is 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 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 3 in this term sheet, “Summary Risk Factors” in the accompanying pricing supplement, “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Payment at Maturity
For each $1,000 stated principal amount you hold at maturity:
• | If the final underlying value is greater than the initial underlying value: |
$1,000 plus the lesser of:
(i) $1,000 × | final underlying value – initial underlying value initial underlying value |
× participation rate; and |
(ii) the maximum return at maturity |
• | If the final underlying value is less than or equal to the initial underlying value, but greater than or equal to the buffer value, $1,000 |
• | If the final underlying value is less than the buffer value, $1,000 minus: |
$1,000 × | buffer value – final underlying value initial underlying value |
If the final underlying value is less than the buffer value, you will receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the $1,000 stated principal amount per security at maturity.
