DATES Offering Period Closes: July 18, 2024 (at 2 pm NY Time.) Pricing Date: On or about July 18, 2024 Settlement Date: On or about July 23, 2024 Valuation Date: On or about June 20, 2026 Maturity Date: On or about July 23, 2026 Term: Approximately 2 Years INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The objective of the notes is to provide clients the potential for leveraged participation in any upside performance of the R efe rence Asset, while offering limited downside protection against a slight to moderate decline in the Reference Asset over the term of the notes. As such, the notes may be sui table for investors with a bullish view of the Reference Asset over the term of the notes. The performance of the notes may not be consistent with the investment objective. TERMS Upside Leverage Factor: 125.00% Automatic Redemption: On July 24, 2025, if the closing level of the Reference Asset is greater than its Call Level, the notes will be automatically re deemed. No further amounts will be owed to you under the notes and you will not participate in any positive performance of the Refere nce Asset. Payment Upon Automatic Redemption: If the notes are automatically redeemed, then, on the corresponding Call Settlement Date, investors will receive their princi pal amount plus the applicable Call Amount. Observation Date, Call Settlement Date and Call Amounts: Initial Level: The closing level of the Reference Asset on the Pricing Date. Call Level: 100% of the Initial Level Buffer Level: 90% of the Initial Level Buffer Percentage: 10.00% Accordingly, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity only if the level of the Reference Asset doe s not decrease by more than 10.00% over the term of the notes. If the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Buffe r Level, you will receive less than the principal amount of your notes at maturity and you could lose up to 90.00% of the princ ipa l amount of your notes. Final Level: The closing level of the Reference Asset on the Valuation Date. Payment at Maturity: If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity for the notes is based on the performance of the Referen ce Asset: If the Final Level of the Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Initial Level, then the amount that investors will rec eive at maturity for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes will equal: $1,000 + [$1,000 x (Percentage Change of the Reference Asset x Upside Leverage Factor)] If the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Initial Level, but is not less than its Buffer Level, then investo rs will, for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes, receive the principal amount of $1,000 and no additional return. If the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Level, then the amount that investors will receive at matur ity for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes will equal: $1,000 + [$1,000 x (Percentage Change of the Reference Asset + Buffer Percentage)] In this case, investors will lose 1% of their principal for each 1% that the Final Level of the Reference Asset declines from its Initial Level in excess of 10.00%. You may lose up to 90.00% of the principal amount of your notes. Percentage Change: The Percentage Change of the Reference Asset, expressed as a percentage, is calculated using the following formula: (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level Observation Date Call Amounts (per Note) Potential Call Settlement Date July 24, 2025 $86.00 July 29, 2025 CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC.

2 Principal at Risk: Investors in these notes could lose a substantial portion of their investment at maturity if there has been a decline in the market value of the Reference Asset and the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Level. We urge you to carefully review the documents described in “Additional Information” below, including the risk factors set forth and incorporated by reference therein, prior to making an investment decision. Secondary Market: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although not obligated to do so, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) or one of our or their affiliates, plans to maintain a secondary market in the notes after the Settlement Date. Proceeds from a sale of notes prior to maturity may be less than the principal amount initially invested. Selected Risk Considerations: The risks summarized below are some of the most important factors to be considered prior to any purchase of the notes. Investors are urged to read all the risk factors related to the notes in the pricing supplement and the product supplement to which this term sheet relates. • You could lose up to 90.00% of the principal amount of the notes. If the notes are not automatically redeemed and the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount for each 1% that the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Initial Level in excess of the Buffer Percentage. • Your notes are subject to automatic early redemption. • If the notes are automatically redeemed, your return on the notes is limited to the potential Call Amount regardless of any increase in the level of the Reference Asset. • If the notes are not automatically redeemed, your return may be less than if the notes were automatically redeemed and may be negative. • Your return on the notes may be lower than the return on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. • The notes are unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer and your investment is subject to the credit risk of the Issuer. • Our, Citigroup and our and their affiliates’ activities may conflict with your interests and may also adversely affect the value of the notes. • Our initial estimated value of the notes will be lower than the price to public, does not represent any future value of the notes, and may also differ from the estimated value of any other party. • The terms of the notes are not determined by reference to the credit spreads for our conventional fixed - rate debt. • The inclusion of the hedging profits, if any, in the initial price to public of the notes, as well as our hedging costs, is likely to adversely affect the price at which you can sell your notes. • You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any securities included in the Reference Asset at maturity. • Neither we nor Citigroup have any affiliation with the sponsor of the Reference Asset, and will not be responsible for their actions. • Changes that affect the Reference Asset will affect the market value of the notes, whether the notes will be automatically called, and the amount you will receive at maturity. Adjustments to the Reference Asset could adversely affect the notes. The sponsor of the Reference Asset may make adjustments, discontinue or suspend calculations or publication of that Reference Asset, or discontinue of suspend maintenance of that Reference Asset at any time. • The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Citigroup or one or more of our or their affiliates may offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market, but are not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. • We, Citigroup and our or their affiliates may engage in hedging and trading activities related to the notes that could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.

3 Hypothetical Calculations for the Payment at Maturity: Examples of the Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for a $1,000 Investment in the notes The following table illustrates the hypothetical payments on a note at maturity. The hypothetical payments are based on a $1,000 investment in the note a hypothetical Initial Level of 100.00, a hypothetical Buffer Level of 90.00 (90.00% of the hypothetical Initial Level), a hypothetical Upside Leverage Factor of 125.00%, a range of hypothetical Final Levels and the effect on the payment at maturity. The hypothetical examples shown below are intended to help you understand the terms of the notes. If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the actual cash amount that you will receive at maturity will depend upon the Final Level of the Reference Asset. If the notes are automatically redeemed prior to maturity, the hypothetical examples below will not be relevant, and you will receive on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 principal amount, the principal amount plus the Call Amount. You may lose up to 90.00% of the principal amount at maturity. These examples do not give effect to any U.S. federal tax payments or brokerage commissions that you may be required to pay in connection with your purchase of the notes.
