Citigroup
Global Markets Holdings Inc. $---- Step Down Trigger Autocallable Notes
|
|
Linked to the Least Performing of the EURO STOXX®
Banks Index, the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. and the Common Stock of Starbucks Corporation Due On or About June 13, 2023
All payments due on the notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.
The Step Down Trigger Autocallable Notes (the “notes”)
are unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (the “issuer”), guaranteed
by Citigroup Inc. (the “guarantor”), linked to the least performing of the EURO STOXX®
Banks Index, the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. and the common stock of Starbucks Corporation (each, an “underlying”). We
also refer to the EURO STOXX® Banks Index as the “underlying index” and each of the common stock
of Amazon.com, Inc. and the common stock of Starbucks Corporation as “underlying shares.” If the closing value
of the least performing underlying is greater than or equal to its respective initial underlying value on any valuation date prior
to the final valuation date, or greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold on the final valuation date, we will
automatically call the notes and pay you a call price equal to the stated principal amount per note plus a call return based on
the call return rate. The call return increases the longer the notes are outstanding, as described below, based on a
fixed call return rate per annum. However, if by maturity the notes have not been called and the closing value of the
least performing underlying is less than its downside threshold on the final valuation date, you will receive less than the stated
principal amount of your notes, and possibly nothing, at maturity, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the decline in
the closing value of the least performing underlying from the strike date to the final valuation date, up to a 100% loss of your
investment. On each valuation date, the least performing underlying is the underlying with the lowest underlying return
as of that valuation date.
Investing in the notes involves significant risks. You
may lose a substantial portion or all of your initial investment. The stated payout on the notes is based solely
on the performance of the least performing underlying. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better
performing underlying. You will therefore be adversely affected if any underlying performs poorly, regardless
of the performance of the other underlyings. You will not receive dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying
shares or any stocks included in the underlying index. The notes do not pay interest. The contingent repayment
of the stated principal amount plus a call return applies only if you hold the notes to maturity. Any payment on the
notes, including any repayment of the stated principal amount, is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer and the guarantor
and is not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. If the issuer and the guarantor were to default on
their payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
q
|
Call Return — We will automatically call the notes for a call price equal to the stated principal amount plus a call return based on the call return rate if the closing value of the least performing underlying is greater than or equal to its respective initial underlying value on any valuation date (beginning one year after issuance) prior to the final valuation date or greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold on the final valuation date. The call return increases the longer the notes are outstanding, based on a fixed call return rate per annum. If the notes are not called, investors will have full downside market exposure to the least performing underlying at maturity.
|
q
|
Downside Exposure — If you hold the notes to maturity and the notes have not been called on any valuation date, including the final valuation date, that will necessarily mean that the closing value of the least performing underlying is less than its downside threshold on the final valuation date and we will pay you less than the stated principal amount of your notes, and possibly nothing, at maturity. The resulting loss will be proportionate to the full negative underlying return of the least performing underlying. Any payment on the notes is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer and guarantor. If the issuer and the guarantor were to default on their obligations, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: The
notes are significantly riskier than conventional debt INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE STATED
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTES AT MATURITY, AND the notes CAN have downside MARKET risk SIMILAR TO the LEAST PERFORMING UNDERLYING.
This MARKET risk is in addition to the CREDIT risk INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS HOLDINGS
INC. THAT IS GUARANTEED BY CITIGROUP INC. You should not PURCHASE the notes if you do not understand or are not comfortable
with the significant risks INVOLVED in INVESTING IN the notes.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER ‘‘SUMMARY
RISK FACTORS’’ BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-7 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT AND UNDER ‘‘RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE
SECURITIES’’ BEGINNING ON PAGE EA-7 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY NOTES. EVENTS RELATING
TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR NOTES.
YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES. THE NOTES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE
AND MAY HAVE LIMITED OR NO LIQUIDITY.

(“CGMI”) and our internal funding rate. It is not an indication of actual profit to CGMI or other
of our affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the notes
from you at any time after issuance. See “Valuation of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
(2) The underwriting discount is $0.09 per
note. CGMI, acting as principal, expects to purchase from Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., and Citigroup Global Markets
Holdings Inc. expects to sell to CGMI, the aggregate stated principal amount of the notes set forth above for $9.91 per note. UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”), acting as agent for sales of the notes, expects to purchase from CGMI, and CGMI expects
to sell to UBS, all of the notes for $9.91 per note. UBS will receive an underwriting discount of $0.25 for each note it sells
in this offering. UBS proposes to offer the notes to the public at a price of $10.00 per note. For additional
information on the distribution of the notes, see “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” in this pricing supplement. In
addition to the underwriting discount, CGMI and its affiliates may profit from expected hedging activity related to this offering,
even if the value of the notes declines. See “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus.

Automatic call feature
|
The notes will be automatically called if the closing value of
the least performing underlying is greater than or equal to its respective initial underlying value on any valuation date prior
to the final valuation date or greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold on the final valuation date.
If the notes are automatically called, we will pay you on the
applicable call settlement date a cash payment per $10.00 stated principal amount of each note equal to the call price for the
applicable valuation date.

Call settlement dates
|
Three (3) business days following the applicable valuation date, except that the call settlement date for the final valuation date is the maturity date.
See “Call Settlement Dates and Call Returns/Call Prices for the Offering of the Notes” on page PS- 6.
|
Call price
|
The call price will be calculated based on the following formula:
$10.00 + applicable call return
|
Call return/call return rate
|
The call return increases the longer the notes are outstanding
and will be based on the fixed call return rate of 16.40% per annum.
See “Call Settlement Dates and Call Returns/Call Prices for the Offering of the Notes”
on page PS-6.
|
Payment at maturity (per $10.00 stated principal amount of notes)
|
If the notes are not called, the final underlying value of
the least performing underlying will therefore necessarily be less than the applicable downside threshold on the final valuation
date, and we will pay you a cash payment on the maturity date that is less than your stated principal amount and may be zero,
resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the negative underlying return, equal to:
$10.00
+ ($10.00 × underlying return of the least performing underlying)
Accordingly, you may lose all or a substantial portion
of your stated principal amount at
|
|
maturity, depending on how significantly the least performing underlying declines.
|
Least performing underlying
|
On each valuation date, the underlying with the lowest underlying return as of that valuation date.
|
Underlying return
|
For any underlying on any valuation date, calculated as follows:
current underlying value –
initial underlying value
initial underlying value
|
Downside threshold
|
For any underlying, 60.00% of its respective initial underlying value, as specified on the cover of this pricing supplement.
|
Initial underlying value
|
For any underlying, its closing value on the strike date, as specified on the cover page of this pricing supplement.
|
Current underlying value
|
For any underlying and any valuation date, the closing value of that underlying on that valuation date.
|
Final underlying value
|
For any underlying, its closing value on the final valuation date.
|
INVESTING IN THE NOTES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. YOU MAY LOSE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT. ANY PAYMENT ON THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF THE ISSUER AND THE GUARANTOR. IF CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS HOLDINGS INC. AND CITIGROUP INC. WERE TO DEFAULT ON THEIR OBLIGATIONS, YOU MIGHT NOT RECEIVE ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO YOU UNDER THE NOTES AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

(other than the final valuation date) is postponed as provided under “Description of the Securities— Consequences of
a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Valuation Date” in the accompanying product supplement, the actual call settlement
date will be the third business day after that valuation date as postponed.
An investment in the notes is significantly riskier than an investment
in conventional debt securities. The notes 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 notes, and are also subject to risks associated with each underlying. Accordingly, the notes are suitable only for
investors who are capable of understanding the complexities and risks of the notes. You should consult your own financial,
tax and legal advisers as to the risks of an investment in the notes and the suitability of the notes in light of your particular
circumstances.
The following is a summary of certain key risk factors for investors
in the notes. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of risks relating to an investment
in the notes 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.

You may lose some or all of your investment — The notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not
necessarily repay the full stated principal amount of your notes at maturity. Instead, your return on the notes is linked
to the performance of the least performing underlying and, if the notes are not automatically called, will depend on the extent
to which the final underlying value of the least performing underlying is less than its downside threshold. If the notes
are not automatically called on any of the valuation dates, which necessarily means that the final underlying value of the least
performing underlying is less than its downside threshold, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the notes for every
1% by which the final underlying value of the least performing underlying is less than its initial underlying value. There
is no minimum payment at maturity on the notes, and you may lose up to all of your investment in the notes.
|
|
¨
|
The appreciation potential of the notes is limited — Your potential total return on the notes at maturity or upon
earlier automatic call is limited to the call return, which will only be received if the notes are called. Because the call return
increases the longer the notes have been outstanding and because the notes could be called as early as one year after the settlement
date, you may not receive the call return associated with a later valuation date. You will not participate in any potential appreciation
of the underlyings even though you may be subject to the full downside performance of the least performing underlying. As a result,
the return on an investment in the notes may be significantly less than the return on a hypothetical direct investment in the underlyings.
|
|
¨
|
The notes are subject to the risks of all of the underlyings and will be negatively affected if any of the underlyings performs
poorly, even if the other underlyings perform well — You are subject to risks associated with all of the underlyings.
If any of the underlyings performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other underlyings perform well. The notes
are not linked to a basket composed of the underlyings, where the better performance of one could ameliorate the poor performance
of the other. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever of the underlyings is the least performing underlying. Furthermore,
the risk that the notes will not be called, and thus you will not receive the call price, and that you will lose some or all of
your initial investment in the notes is greater if you invest in the notes as opposed to notes that are linked to the performance
of a single underlying if their terms are otherwise substantially similar. With a greater total number of underlyings, it is more
likely that an underlying will be below its initial underlying value or downside threshold on a valuation date or the final valuation
date, as applicable, and therefore it is more likely that the notes will not be called and that at maturity, you will receive an
amount in cash which is worth less than your principal amount.
|
|
¨
|
You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing underlyings — The return on the
notes depends solely on the performance of the least performing underlying, and you will not benefit in any way from the performance
of the better performing underlyings. The notes may underperform a similar investment in all of the underlyings or a
similar alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the underlyings, since in either such case the performance of the
better performing underlying would be blended with the performance of the least performing underlying, resulting in a better return
than the return of the least performing underlying.
|
|
¨
|
You will be subject to risks relating to the relationship among the underlyings — It is preferable from your perspective
for the underlyings to be correlated with each other, in the sense that they tend to increase or decrease at similar times and
by similar magnitudes. By investing in the notes, you assume the risk that the underlyings will not exhibit this relationship. The
less correlated the underlyings, the more likely it is that one of the underlyings will perform poorly over the term of the notes.
All that is necessary for the notes to perform poorly is for one of the underlyings to perform poorly; the performance of the underlyings
that are not the least performing underlying is not relevant to your return on the notes. It is impossible to predict
what the relationship among the underlyings will be over the term of the notes. The underlyings differ in significant ways and,
therefore, may not be correlated with each other.
|
|
¨
|
The repayment of principal plus a call return is contingent, and you will have full downside exposure to the least performing
underlying if the final underlying value of the least performing underlying is less than its downside threshold — If
the notes are not automatically called on any valuation date prior to the final valuation date and, on the final valuation date,
the closing value of the least performing underlying is less than its initial underlying value but greater than its downside threshold,
you will receive your stated principal amount plus the call return at maturity notwithstanding that the least performing underlying
has declined from its initial underlying value. However, if the final underlying value of the least performing underlying
on the final valuation date is below its downside threshold, the contingent repayment of principal plus a call return will not
apply, and you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the notes for every 1% by which the final underlying value of the
least performing underlying is less than its initial underlying value. The notes will have full downside exposure to the decline
of the least performing underlying if the final underlying value of the least performing underlying is below its downside threshold.
As a result, you may lose your entire investment in the notes. Further, this
|
contingent repayment of principal
plus a call return applies only if you hold the notes to maturity. If
you are able to sell the notes prior to maturity, you may have to sell them for a loss even if the value of the least performing
underlying is greater than its downside threshold at that time. See “The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate
based on many unpredictable factors” below.
|
¨
|
The initial underlying values, which were set on the strike date, may be higher than the closing values of the underlyings
on the trade date — If the closing value of any underlying on the trade date is less than the initial underlying value
that was set on the strike date for that underlying, the terms of the notes may be less favorable to you than the terms of an alternative
investment that may be available to you that offers a similar payout as the notes but with the initial underlying values set on
the trade date.
|
|
¨
|
The notes do not pay interest — Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not pay interest or any other
amounts prior to maturity or earlier automatic call. You should not invest in the notes if you seek current income during the term
of the notes.
|
|
¨
|
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in any underlying or the stocks that constitute the underlying index
— You will not have voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect
to any of the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index. It is important to understand that,
for purposes of measuring the performance of the underlyings, the values used will not reflect the receipt or reinvestment of dividends
or distributions on any of the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index. Dividend or distribution
yield on the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index would be expected to represent a significant
portion of the overall return on a direct investment in the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index,
but will not be reflected in the performance of any of the underlyings as measured for purposes of the notes (except to the extent
that dividends and distributions reduce the values of the underlyings). Moreover, unlike a direct investment in the
underlyings, the appreciation potential of the notes is limited, as described above.
|
|
¨
|
The probability that the least performing underlying will fall below its downside threshold on the final valuation
date will depend in part on the volatility of, and correlation among, the underlyings — “Volatility” refers
to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the value of the underlyings. “Correlation” refers to the extent
to which the underlyings tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. In general, the greater
the volatility of the underlyings, and the lower the correlation among the underlyings, the greater the probability that one or
the other of the underlyings will experience a large decline over the term of the notes and fall below its respective downside
threshold on the final valuation date. The underlyings have historically experienced significant volatility, and as
discussed above, the underlyings differ in significant ways and therefore may not be correlated. As a result, there
is a significant risk that one or the other of the underlyings will fall below its respective downside threshold on the final valuation
date and that you will incur a significant loss on your investment in the notes. The terms of the notes are set, in
part, based on expectations about the volatility of, and correlation among, the underlyings as of the strike date. If
expectations about the volatility of, and correlation among, the underlyings change over the term of the notes, the value of the
notes may be adversely affected, and if the actual volatility of the underlyings prove to be greater than initially expected, or
if the actual correlation among the underlyings proves to be lower than initially expected, the notes may prove to be riskier than
expected on the strike date. In addition, for each additional underlying to which the notes are linked, there is a greater potential
for one pair of underlyings to have low or negative correlation. Therefore, the greater the number of underlyings, the greater
the potential for loss of principal at maturity.
|
|
¨
|
The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. — Any payment
on the notes 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
notes and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive any payments that become due under the notes. As
a result, the value of the notes 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 notes.
|
|
¨
|
The performance of the notes will depend on the closing value of the least performing underlying solely on the valuation
dates — The performance of the notes (including whether the notes are automatically called and, if they are not called,
the amount of your payment at maturity) will depend on the closing value of the least performing underlying only on the valuation
dates. You will not receive the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity if the closing value of the least
performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its downside threshold, even if the closing value of the least performing
underlying is greater than its downside threshold on other days during the term of the notes. Moreover, your notes will
be automatically called prior to maturity if the closing value of the least performing underlying is greater than or equal to its
initial underlying value on any valuation date prior to the final valuation date, even if the closing value of the least performing
underlying is less than its initial underlying value on other days during the term of the notes. Because the performance
of the notes depends on the closing value of the least performing underlying on a small number of dates, the performance of the
notes will be particularly sensitive to volatility in the closing values of the underlyings, particularly around the valuation
dates. You should understand that the values of the underlyings have historically been highly volatile. See
“The EURO STOXX® Banks Index,” “Amazon.com, Inc.” and “Starbucks Corporation”
in this pricing supplement.
|
|
¨
|
The notes may be automatically called prior to maturity — Beginning one year after issuance, on any valuation
date occurring annually during the term of the notes, the notes will be automatically called if the closing value of the least
performing underlying on that valuation date is greater than or equal to its respective initial underlying value. Thus,
the term of the notes may be limited to as short as one year. The earlier the notes are automatically called, the lower
the amount of the call return you will receive. If the notes are automatically called prior to maturity, you may not
be able to reinvest your funds in another investment that provides a similar yield with a similar level of risk.
|
|
¨
|
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity —
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. CGMI
currently intends to make a secondary market in relation to the notes and to provide an indicative bid price for the notes on a
daily basis. Any indicative bid price for the notes 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 notes 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 notes because it is likely that CGMI will be the only broker-dealer that is willing to buy your notes prior to maturity. Accordingly,
an investor must be prepared to hold the notes until maturity.
|
|
¨
|
The estimated value of the notes on the trade date, based on CGMI’s proprietary pricing models and our internal funding
rate, will be less than the issue price — The difference is attributable to certain costs associated with selling, structuring
and hedging the notes that are included in the issue price. These costs include (i) the underwriting discount paid in
connection with the offering of the notes, (ii) hedging and other costs incurred by us and our affiliates in connection with the
offering of the notes 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 notes. These costs adversely affect the economic terms of the notes
because, if they were lower, the economic terms of the notes would be more favorable to you. The economic terms of the
notes are also likely to be adversely affected by the use of our internal funding rate, rather than our secondary market rate,
to price the notes. See “The estimated value of the notes would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary
market rate” below.
|
|
¨
|
The estimated value of the notes 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 and correlation among
the underlyings, dividend yields on the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index 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 notes. Moreover, the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover
page of this pricing supplement may differ from the value that we or our affiliates may determine for the notes for other purposes,
including for accounting purposes. You should not invest in the notes because of the estimated value of the notes. Instead,
you should be willing to hold the notes to maturity irrespective of the initial estimated value.
|
|
¨
|
The estimated value of the notes would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary market rate — The
estimated value of the notes 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 notes. 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 notes for purposes of
any purchases of the notes 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 notes, 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 notes, 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 notes, 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 notes prior to maturity.
|
¨
|
The estimated value of the notes is not an indication of the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing
to buy the notes from you in the secondary market — Any such secondary market price will fluctuate over the term of the
notes 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 notes 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 notes than if our internal funding rate were used. In
addition, any secondary market price for the notes will be reduced by a bid-ask spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate
stated principal amount of the notes 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 notes will be less than the
issue price.
|
|
¨
|
The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors — As
described under “Valuation of the Notes” below, the payout on the notes 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 notes at
issuance and the value of the notes prior to maturity. Accordingly, the value of your notes prior to maturity will fluctuate
based on the value and volatility of the underlyings and a number of other factors, including the price and volatility of the stocks
that constitute the underlying index, the correlation among the underlyings, dividend yields on the underlying shares or
the stocks that constitute the underlying index, interest rates generally, the volatility
of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro, the correlation between that exchange rate and the value of the EURO
STOXX® Banks Index, the time remaining to maturity and our and Citigroup Inc.’s
creditworthiness, as reflected in our secondary market rate. Changes in the values of the underlyings may not result
in a comparable change in the value of your notes. You should understand that the value of your notes at any time prior
to maturity may be significantly less than the issue price. The stated payout from the issuer, including the call return,
only applies if you hold the notes to maturity or earlier automatic call, as applicable.
|
|
¨
|
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 Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
|
¨
|
The EURO STOXX® Banks Index is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. markets — Investments
in securities linked to the value of non-U.S. stocks involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including
risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain
countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than about
U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. Further, non-U.S. companies are generally subject to
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules that are different from those
applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial
and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency
exchange laws. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the United States
in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.

¨
|
The performance of the EURO STOXX® Banks Index will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rate between
the euro and the U.S. dollar — The EURO STOXX® Banks Index is composed of stocks traded in euro, the value
of which may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation relative to the U.S. dollar. However, the performance of the
EURO STOXX® Banks Index and the value of your notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations. If
the euro appreciates relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the notes, the performance of the EURO STOXX®
Banks Index as measured for purposes of the notes will be less than it would have been if it offered exposure to that appreciation
in addition to the change in the prices of the underlying stocks.
|
|
¨
|
The EURO STOXX® Banks Index is subject to concentrated risks associated with the banking industry —
All or substantially all of the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX® Banks Index are issued by companies
whose primary line of business is directly associated with the banking industry. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject
to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this industry
than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issues. The performance of bank stocks
may be affected by extensive governmental regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments
they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely
dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses
resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers can negatively impact banking companies. Banks may also be subject to severe
price competition. Competition among banking companies is high and failure to maintain or increase market share may result in lost
market share. The factors could affect the banking industry and could affect the value of the equity securities included in the
EURO STOXX® Banks Index during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.

Our offering of the notes is not a recommendation of any underlying — The fact that we are offering the notes
does not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument linked to the least performing underlying is likely to achieve favorable
returns. In fact, as we are part of a global financial institution, our affiliates may have positions (including short positions)
in the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index or in
instruments related to the underlyings or the stocks that constitute the underlying index, and may publish research or express
opinions, that in each case are inconsistent with an investment linked to the underlyings. These and other activities of our affiliates
may affect the values of the underlyings in a way that has a negative impact on your interests as a holder of the notes.
|
|
¨
|
Single stock risk — The value of the underlying shares can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to those
underlying shares and the issuers of the underlying shares, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate,
industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general stock market volatility
and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. You, as an investor in the notes, should make your own investigation
into the issuers of the underlying shares and the underlying shares for your notes. For additional information regarding the issuers
of the underlying shares, please see the section “The Underlying Shares” in this pricing supplement and the issuers
of the underlying shares’ SEC filings referred to in that section. We urge you to review financial and other information
filed periodically by the issuers of the underlying shares with the SEC.
|
|
¨
|
Our affiliates, or UBS or its affiliates, may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent
with investing in or holding the notes — Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the closing values
of the underlyings and the value of the notes. 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 notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations
that may be inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. 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 values of the
underlyings and may have a negative impact on your interests as a holder of the notes. Investors should make their own
independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes and the underlyings to which the notes are linked.
|
|
¨
|
Trading and other transactions by our affiliates, or by UBS or its affiliates, may impair the value of the notes —
We expect to hedge our exposure under the notes through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who may take positions directly in the
underlying shares or in instruments, such as options, futures and/or swaps, the value of which is derived from the underlying shares
or will likely enter into equity and/or equity derivative transactions, such as over-the-counter options or exchange-traded instruments,
relating to the underlying
|
index or the stocks included in the underlying index and may adjust such positions during the term of
the notes. It is possible that our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while
the value of the notes declines. Our affiliates and UBS and its affiliates may also engage in trading in the underlying
shares or in instruments linked or related to the underlyings 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 values of the underlyings and reduce
the return on your investment in the notes. 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 underlyings. By introducing
competing products into the marketplace in this manner, our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates could adversely affect the value
of the notes. 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 notes.
|
¨
|
Our affiliates, or UBS or its affiliates, may have economic interests that are adverse to yours as a result of their respective
business activities — Our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with
the issuers of the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the underlying index, including extending loans to, making equity
investments in or providing advisory services to such issuers. In the course of this business, our affiliates or UBS or its affiliates
may acquire non-public information about those issuers, which they will not disclose to you. Moreover, if any of our affiliates
or UBS or any of its affiliates is or becomes a creditor of any such issuer, they may exercise any remedies against that issuer
that are available to them without regard to your interests.
|
|
¨
|
You will have no rights against the issuers of the underlying shares and you will not receive dividends on the underlying
shares — As a holder of the notes, you will not be entitled to any rights with respect to the underlying shares or the
issuers of the underlying shares, including voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the underlying
shares, but you will be subject to all changes affecting the underlying shares. The issuers of the underlying shares
are not involved in the offering of the notes in any way, and the issuers of the underlying shares do not have any obligation to
consider your interests as a holder of notes.
|
|
¨
|
We have no affiliation with the issuers of the underlying shares and are not responsible for their public disclosures
— We are not affiliated with the issuers of the underlying shares, and the issuers of the underlying shares are not involved
in this offering of the notes in any way. Consequently, we have no control over the actions of the issuers of the underlying
shares, including any corporate actions of the type that would require the calculation agent to adjust what you will receive at
maturity. The issuers of the underlying shares do not have any obligation to consider your interests as an investor
in the notes in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your notes. None of the money you pay for
the notes will go to the issuers of the underlying shares.
|
In addition, as we are not affiliated
with the issuers of the underlying shares, we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of any information
about the underlying shares or the issuers of the underlying shares contained in the public disclosures of the issuers of the underlying
shares. We have made no “due diligence” or other investigation into the issuers of the underlying shares. As
an investor in the notes, you should make your own investigation into the issuers of the underlying shares.
|
¨
|
Even if any issuer of any of the underlying shares pays a dividend that it identifies as special
or extraordinary, no adjustment will be required under the notes for that dividend unless it meets the criteria specified in the
accompanying product supplement — In general, an adjustment will not be made under the terms of the notes for any cash
dividend paid on any of the underlying shares unless the amount of the dividend per share, together with any other dividends paid
in the same fiscal quarter, exceeds the dividend paid per share in the most recent fiscal quarter by an amount equal to at least
10% of the closing value of the applicable shares on the date of declaration of the dividend. Any dividend will reduce
the closing value of the applicable underlying shares by the amount of the dividend per share. If the applicable issuer
of any of the underlying shares pays any dividend for which an adjustment is not made under the terms of the notes, holders of
the securities may be adversely affected. See “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for
Securities Linked to an Underlying Company or an Underlying ETF—Dilution and Reorganization
Adjustments—Certain Extraordinary Cash Dividends” in the accompanying product supplement.
|
|
¨
|
The notes will not be adjusted for all events that could affect the value of the underlying
shares — Certain events may occur during the term of the notes that have a dilutive effect on the value of the underlying
shares or otherwise adversely affect the value of the underlying shares. The calculation agent will make certain adjustments
for some of these events, as described under “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities
Linked to an Underlying Company or an Underlying ETF—Dilution and Reorganization Adjustments”
in the accompany product supplement. However, an adjustment will not be made for all events that could have a dilutive
or adverse effect on the underlying shares or their value, such as ordinary dividends, share repurchases, partial tender offers
or additional public offerings of the underlying shares by the issuer of those underlying shares, and the adjustments that are
made may not fully offset the dilutive or adverse effect of the particular event. Accordingly, the occurrence of any
event that has a dilutive or adverse effect on the underlying shares may make it more likely that the closing value of the underlying
shares declines below the downside threshold on the final valuation date, and in that case, reduce the value of the underlying
shares that you would receive at maturity. Unlike an investor in the notes, a direct holder of the underlying shares
may receive an offsetting benefit from any such event that may not be reflected in an adjustment to the terms of the notes, and
so you may experience dilution or adverse consequences in a circumstance in which a direct holder would not.
|
|
¨
|
If any of the underlying shares are delisted, we may call the notes prior to maturity
— If any of the underlying shares are delisted from their exchange (other than in connection with a reorganization event)
and not then or immediately thereafter listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, we will have the right to call the notes
prior to the maturity date. If we exercise this call right, you will receive the amount described under “Description
of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Company or
an Underlying ETF—Dilution and Reorganization Adjustments” in the accompany product supplement. This amount
may be
|
less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the notes and/or the total amount you would have
received under the notes had you continued to hold your notes to maturity or earlier call.
|
¨
|
The notes may become linked to shares of issuers other than the original issuers of the underlying
shares — In connection with certain reorganization events described under “Description of the Securities—Certain
Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Company or an Underlying ETF—Dilution
and Reorganization Adjustments” and “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities Linked
to an Underlying Company or an Underlying ETF—Delisting of an Underlying Company”
in the accompany product supplement, the notes may become linked to shares of issuers other than the original issuers of the underlying
shares. For example, if the issuer of any of the underlying shares enters into a merger agreement with another issuer
that provides for holders of shares of those underlying
shares to receive shares of the other issuer, the notes will become linked to such other shares upon consummation of the merger. In
any such case, the closing value of those underlying shares will be determined by reference to the closing value of the other
shares, and if the notes are not redeemed early and the final underlying value of the applicable underlying shares is less than
the applicable downside threshold, you will receive such other shares at maturity. You may not wish to have investment
exposure to the shares of any other issuers to which the notes may become linked and may not have bought the notes had they been
linked to such other shares from the beginning.

The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the notes —
If certain events occur, such as market disruption events, corporate events with respect to any underlying shares that may require
a dilution adjustment, the delisting of any of the underlying shares or the discontinuance of the underlying index, 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 notes. 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 any valuation date, determining whether to postpone the valuation date;
|
|
¨
|
determining the values of the underlyings if the values of the underlyings are not otherwise available or a market disruption
event has occurred;
|
|
¨
|
determining the appropriate adjustment to be made to the initial underlying value and downside
threshold for each affected underlying shares upon the occurrence of an event described under “Description of the Securities—Certain
Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Company or an Underlying ETF—Dilution
and Reorganization Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement; and
|
|
¨
|
if any of the underlying shares are delisted and we do not exercise our call right, determining
whether to select successor shares and, if so, determining which shares to select as successor shares or selecting a successor
underlying index or performing an alternative calculation of the value of the underlying index if the underlying index is discontinued
or materially modified (see “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying
Company or an Underlying ETF—Delisting of an Underlying Company”
and “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Index—Discontinuance
or Material Modification of an Underlying Index” in the accompanying product 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 notes.
|
¨
|
Adjustments to the underlying index may affect the value of your notes — STOXX Limited, as publisher of the EURO
STOXX® Banks Index, may add, delete or substitute the stocks that constitute the underlying index or make other
methodological changes that could affect the value of the underlying index. STOXX Limited may discontinue or suspend calculation
or publication of the underlying index at any time without regard to your interests as holders of the notes.

The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes are unclear — There is no direct legal authority
regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the notes, 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 notes are uncertain,
and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the notes as prepaid forward contracts. If the IRS were
successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the notes, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes
might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could
adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the notes, possibly retroactively.
|
If you are a non-U.S. investor,
you should review the discussion of withholding tax issues in “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders”
below.
You should read carefully the discussion
under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying
product supplement and “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement. You should
also consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as tax consequences
arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
Hypothetical terms only. Actual terms
may vary. See the cover page for actual offering terms.
The examples below illustrate the hypothetical payment upon automatic
call or at maturity for a $10.00 stated principal amount note with the following assumptions*:
Stated principal amount:
|
$10.00
|
Term:
|
3 years (unless earlier called)
|
Hypothetical initial underlying values:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 70.00
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $2,500.00
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $80.00
|
Hypothetical downside thresholds:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 42.00 (which is 60% of its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $1,500.00 (which is 60% of its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $48.00 (which is 60% of its initial underlying value)
|
Hypothetical call return rate:
|
16.40% per annum
|
Valuation dates:
|
Valuation dates will occur annually, beginning one year after issuance, as set forth on page PS-6 in this pricing supplement.
|
*(i) The hypothetical call return rate per annum does not
represent the actual call return rate per annum and (ii) the hypothetical initial underlying values and downside thresholds do
not represent the actual initial underlying values and downside thresholds, respectively, applicable to the underlyings. The
actual call return rate, initial underlying values and downside thresholds for the notes are listed on the cover page of this pricing
supplement.
Example 1 — The Closing Value of the Least Performing
Underlying is Greater Than its Initial Underlying Value on the First Valuation Date; the Notes are Called
Closing values on first valuation date:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 77.00 (greater than or equal to its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $3,000.00 (greater than or equal to its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $84.00 (greater than or equal to its initial underlying value)
|
Call price (per $10.00 stated principal amount):
|
$11.64
|
In this example, on the first valuation date, the underlying
return of the EURO STOXX® Banks Index is 10%, the underlying return of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. is 20%
and the underlying return of the common stock of Starbucks Corporation is 5%. Because the underlying return of the common
stock of Starbucks Corporation is less than the underlying return of the EURO STOXX® Banks Index and the underlying
return of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. on the first valuation date, the common stock of Starbucks Corporation is the least
performing underlying on the first valuation date. In this example, because the closing value of the least performing
underlying is greater than its respective initial underlying value on the first valuation date, the notes would be called on the
first valuation date and we would pay you on the applicable call settlement date a total call price of $11.64 per $10.00 stated
principal amount (a 16.40% total return on the notes).
Example 2 — The Closing Value of The Least Performing
Underlying is Less Than its Initial Underlying Value on Each Valuation Date Prior to the Final Valuation Date but is Greater Than
its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date; the Notes are Called
Closing values on first valuation date:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 60.00 (less than its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $2,000.00 (less than its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $70.00 (less than its initial underlying value)
|
Closing values on second through third valuation dates:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: each less than its initial underlying value
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: each less than its initial underlying value
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: each less than its initial underlying value
|
Closing values on final valuation date:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 52.50 (greater than its downside threshold)
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $3,000.00 (greater than its downside threshold)
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $84.00 (greater than its downside threshold)
|
Call price (per $10.00 stated principal amount):
|
$10.00 + call return
$10.00 + $4.92
$14.92
|
In this example, the closing value of the least performing underlying
on each valuation date prior to the final valuation date is less than its respective initial underlying value, and as a result
the notes are not automatically called following any of the valuation dates prior to the final valuation date. On the
final valuation date, the underlying return of the EURO STOXX® Banks Index is -25%, the underlying return of the
common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. is 20% and the underlying return of the common stock of Starbucks Corporation is 5%. As
a result, the EURO STOXX® Banks Index is the least performing underlying on the final valuation date. In
this example, because the final underlying value of the least performing underlying is greater than its downside threshold on the
final valuation date, the notes are called and we would pay you at maturity a total of $14.92 (the $10.00 stated principal amount
plus the call return of 49.20%).
Example 3 — Notes are NOT Called and the Final Underlying
Value of the Least Performing Underlying is Less Than Its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date
Closing values on first valuation date:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 60.00 (less than its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $2,000.00 (less than its initial underlying value)
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $70.00 (less than its initial underlying value)
|
Closing values on second through third valuation dates:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: each less than its initial underlying value
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: each less than its initial underlying value
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: each less than its initial underlying value
|
Closing values on final valuation date:
|
EURO STOXX® Banks Index: 56.00 (greater than its downside threshold)
Common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.: $750.00 (less than its downside threshold)
Common stock of Starbucks Corporation: $84.00 (greater than its downside threshold)
|
Payment at maturity (per $10.00 stated principal amount):
|
$10.00 + ($10.00 × underlying return of the least performing underlying)
$10.00 + (–$7.00)
$3.00
|
In this example, the closing value of the least performing underlying
on each valuation date prior to the final valuation date is less than its respective initial underlying value, and as a result
the notes are not automatically called following any of the valuation dates prior to the final valuation date. On the
final valuation date, the underlying return of the EURO STOXX® Banks Index is -20%, the underlying return of the
common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. is -70% and the underlying return of the common stock of Starbucks Corporation is 5%. As
a result, the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. is the least performing underlying on the final valuation date. In this
example, because the notes are not called and the final underlying value of the least performing underlying is less than its downside
threshold on the final valuation date, you would incur a loss at maturity equal to the full decline of the least performing underlying. In
this scenario, even though one of the underlyings closed above its downside threshold on the final valuation date, your payment
at maturity will be based solely on the least performing underlying and you would not benefit from the performance of the other
underlyings.

Correlation of the Underlyings

The following graph sets forth the historical performances of
the EURO STOXX® Banks Index, the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. and the common stock of Starbucks Corporation
from January 4, 2010 through June 8, 2020, based on the daily closing values of the underlyings. For comparison purposes,
each underlying has been normalized to have a closing value of 100.00 on January 4, 2010 by dividing the closing value of that
underlying on each day by the closing value of that underlying on January 4, 2010 and multiplying by 100.00.
We obtained the closing values used to determine the normalized
closing values set forth below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. Historical performance of the underlyings should
not be taken as an indication of future performance. Future performance of the underlyings may differ significantly from historical
performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing values of the underlyings during the term of the notes, including
on any valuation date. Moreover, any historical correlation among the underlyings is not indicative of the degree of
correlation among the underlyings, if any, over the term of the notes.
PAST PERFORMANCE AND CORRELATION AMONG
THE UNDERLYINGS IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE OR CORRELATION
Correlation is a measure of the extent to which three underlyings
tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes over a given time period. The closer the relationship
of the returns of three underlyings over a given period, the more correlated those underlyings are. Conversely, the
less closely related the returns of three underlyings, the less correlated those underlyings are. The three underlyings
may also be inversely correlated, which means that they tend to move in opposite directions from one another. The graph
above illustrates the historical performance of each underlying relative to the others over the time period shown and provides
an indication of how close the performance of each underlying has historically been to the other underlyings. However,
the graph does not provide a precise measure of correlation and there may be relevant aspects of the historical correlation among
the underlyings that cannot be discerned from the graph. Furthermore, regardless of the degree of correlation among
the underlyings in the past, past correlation is not indicative of future correlation, and it is possible that the underlyings
will exhibit significantly lower correlation in the future than they did in the past. We cannot predict the relationship
among the underlyings over the term of the notes. For additional information, see “Summary Risk Factors—You will be
subject to risks relating to the relationship among the underlyings.”
The lower (or more negative) the correlation among the underlyings,
the less likely it is that the underlyings will move in the same direction at the same time and, therefore, the greater the potential
for one of the underlyings to close below its initial underlying value or downside threshold on any valuation date or the final
valuation date, respectively. This is because the less correlated the underlyings are, the greater the likelihood that
at least one of the underlyings will decrease in value. However, even if the underlyings have a higher correlation, one or all
of the underlyings might close below its initial underlying value or downside threshold on any valuation date or the final valuation
date, respectively, as all of the underlyings may decrease in value together.
The terms of the notes are set, in part, based on expectations
about the correlation among the underlyings as of the strike date. If expectations about the correlation among the underlyings
change over the term of the notes, the value of the notes may be adversely affected, and if the actual correlation among the underlyings
proves to be lower than initially expected, the notes may prove to be riskier than expected on the strike date. The
correlation referenced in setting the terms of the notes is calculated using CGMI’s proprietary derivative-pricing model
and is not derived from the returns of the underlyings over the period set forth in the graph above. In addition, factors
and inputs other than correlation impact how the terms of the notes are set and the performance of the notes.
