Medium-Term Senior Notes, Series N

Pricing Supplement No. 2025-USNCH28726

Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2)

Registration Statement Nos. 333-270327 and 333-270327-01

Market-Linked Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Value Index Due October 5, 2028

The notes offered by this pricing supplement are unsecured debt securities issued by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not pay interest. Instead, the notes offer the potential for a positive return at maturity based on the performance of the underlying specified below from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value.

If the underlying appreciates from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, the notes offer a limited degree of participation in that appreciation and you will receive a positive return at maturity equal to the underlying return multiplied by the upside participation rate specified below. However, if the underlying remains the same or depreciates from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, you will be repaid the stated principal amount of your notes at maturity but will not receive any return on your investment. Even if the underlying appreciates from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, so that you do receive a positive return at maturity, there is no assurance that your total return at maturity on the notes will compensate you for the effects of inflation or be as great as the yield you could have achieved on a conventional debt security of ours of comparable maturity.

In exchange for the possibility of a positive return at maturity based on the performance of the underlying and repayment of the principal amount even if the underlying depreciates, investors in the notes must be willing to accept less than 100% participation in any appreciation of the underlying at maturity and forgo dividends with respect to the underlying. If the underlying does not appreciate from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, you will not receive any return on your investment in the notes.

In order to obtain the modified exposure to the underlying that the notes provide, investors must be willing to accept (i) an investment that may have limited or no liquidity and (ii) the risk of not receiving any amount due under the notes if we and Citigroup Inc. default on our obligations. All payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.

Hypothetical Examples

 

The examples below illustrate how to determine the payment at maturity on the notes, assuming the various hypothetical final underlying values indicated below. The examples are solely for illustrative purposes, do not show all possible outcomes and are not a prediction of what the actual payment at maturity on the notes will be. The actual payment at maturity will depend on the actual final underlying value.

 

The examples below are based on a hypothetical initial underlying value of 100.00 and do not reflect the actual initial underlying value. For the actual initial underlying value, see the cover page of this pricing supplement. We have used this hypothetical value, rather than the actual value, to simplify the calculations and aid understanding of how the notes work. However, you should understand that the actual payment at maturity on the notes will be calculated based on the actual initial underlying value, and not this hypothetical value. For ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded.

 

Example 1—Upside Scenario. The final underlying value is 105.00, resulting in a 5.00% underlying return. In this example, the final underlying value is greater than the initial underlying value.

 

Payment at maturity per note = $1,000 + the return amount

 

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × the underlying return × the upside participation rate)

 

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 5.00% × 66.40%)

 

= $1,000 + $33.20

 

= $1,033.20

 

In this scenario, the underlying has appreciated from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, and your total return at maturity would equal the underlying return multiplied by the upside participation rate. An investment in the notes would underperform a hypothetical alternative investment providing 1-to-1 exposure to the appreciation of the underlying.

 

Example 2—Par Scenario. The final underlying value is 90.00, resulting in a -10.00% underlying return.

 

Payment at maturity per note = $1,000

 

In this scenario, the underlying has depreciated from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value. As a result, your payment at maturity per note would equal the $1,000 stated principal amount per note and you would not receive any positive return on your investment.

Summary Risk Factors

 

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 the 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 advisors 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 Notes” beginning on page EA-6 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 not receive any return on your investment in the notes. You will receive a positive return on your investment in the notes only if the underlying appreciates from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value. If the final underlying value is equal to or less than the initial underlying value, you will receive only the stated principal amount of $1,000 for each note you hold at maturity. As the notes do not pay any interest, even if the underlying appreciates from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value, there is no assurance that your total return at maturity on the notes will be as great as could have been achieved on conventional debt securities of ours of comparable maturity.

 

§The notes do not offer full upside exposure to the underlying. You should understand that you will only participate in a limited degree of any appreciation of the underlying at maturity. Because the participation rate is less than 100%, you will not fully participate in the potential appreciation of the underlying at maturity. The notes will underperform a hypothetical alternative investment that provides 1-to-1 exposure to the appreciation of the underlying, as measured from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value.

 

§Although the notes provide for the repayment of the stated principal amount at maturity, you may nevertheless suffer a loss on your investment in real value terms if the underlying declines or does not appreciate sufficiently from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value. This is because inflation may cause the real value of the stated principal amount to be less at maturity than it is at the time you invest, and because an investment in the notes represents a forgone opportunity to invest in an alternative asset that does generate a positive real return. This potential loss in real value terms is significant given the term of the notes. You should carefully consider whether an investment that may not provide for any return on your investment, or may provide a return that is lower than the return on alternative investments, is appropriate for you.

 

§The notes do not pay interest. Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not pay interest or any other amounts prior to maturity. You should not invest in the notes if you seek current income during the term of the notes.

 

§You will not receive dividends or have any other rights with respect to the underlying. You will not receive any dividends with respect to the underlying. This lost dividend yield may be significant over the term of the notes. The payment scenarios described in this pricing supplement do not show any effect of such lost dividend yield over the term of the notes. In addition, you will not have voting rights or any other rights with respect to the underlying or the stocks included in the underlying.

 

§Your payment at maturity depends on the closing value of the underlying on a single day. Because your payment at maturity depends on the closing value of the underlying solely on the valuation date, you are subject to the risk that the closing value of the underlying on that day may be lower, and possibly significantly lower, than on one or more other dates during the term of the notes. If you had invested in another instrument linked to the underlying that you could sell for full value at a time selected by you, or if the payment at maturity were based on an average of closing values of the underlying, you might have achieved better returns.

 

§The notes are subject to the credit risk of 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 anything owed to you under the notes.

 

§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.

 

§Sale of the notes prior to maturity may result in a loss of principal. You will be entitled to receive at least the full stated principal amount of your notes, subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc., only if you hold the notes to maturity. The value of the notes may fluctuate during the term of the notes, and if you are able to sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the full stated principal amount of your notes.

 

§The estimated value of the notes on the pricing date, based on CGMI’s proprietary pricing models and our internal funding rate, is 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) hedging and other costs incurred by us and our affiliates in connection with the offering of the notes and (ii) 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

 

 PS-4
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
 

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 the closing value of the underlying, the dividend yield on the underlying 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 is payable on the notes.

 

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. The value of your notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on the closing value of the underlying, the volatility of the closing value of the underlying, the dividend yield on the underlying, interest rates generally, the time remaining to maturity and our and Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness, as reflected in our secondary market rate, among other factors described under “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes—Risk Factors Relating to All Notes—The value of your notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors” in the accompanying product supplement. Changes in the closing value of the underlying 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.

 

§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 steadily decline to zero over the temporary adjustment period. See “Valuation of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

 

§The investment strategy represented by the underlying may not be successful. The S&P 500® Value Index is designed to measure the full performance of companies included in the S&P 500® Index that exhibit relatively strong value characteristics (determined by reference to (1) book-value-to-price ratio, (2) earnings-to-price ratio and (3) sales-to-price ratio) and relatively weak growth characteristics (determined by reference to earnings-per-share growth, sales-per-share growth and upward share price momentum) and a portion of the performance of companies with more balanced value and growth characteristics (where greater weight is allocated to companies with relatively stronger value characteristics and relatively weaker growth characteristics). There is, however, no assurance that the S&P 500® Value Index will outperform any other index or strategy that tracks U.S. stocks selected using other criteria. A “value” investment strategy is premised on the goal of investing in stocks that are determined to be relatively cheap or “undervalued” under the assumption that the value of those stocks will increase over time as the market comes to reflect the “fair” market value of those stocks. However, the value characteristic referenced by the S&P 500® Value Index may not be accurate predictors of undervalued stocks, and there is no guarantee that undervalued stocks will appreciate. In addition, the S&P 500® Value Index’s selection methodology includes a significant bias against stocks with strong growth characteristics, and stocks with strong growth characteristics might outperform stocks with weak growth characteristics. It is possible that the stock selection methodology of the S&P 500® Value Index will adversely affect its return and, consequently, the values of the S&P 500® Value Index and the notes.

 

§Our offering of the notes is not a recommendation of the underlying. The fact that we are offering the notes does not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument linked to the 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 or in instruments related to the underlying, and may publish research or express opinions, that in each case are inconsistent with an investment linked to the underlying.

 

 PS-5
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.
 

These and other activities of our affiliates may affect the closing value of the underlying in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the notes.

 

§The closing value of the underlying may be adversely affected by our or our affiliates’ hedging and other trading activities. We have hedged our obligations under the notes through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who have taken positions in the underlying or in financial instruments related to the underlying and may adjust such positions during the term of the notes. Our affiliates also take positions in the underlying or in financial instruments related to the underlying on a regular basis (taking long or short positions or both), for their accounts, for other accounts under their management or to facilitate transactions on behalf of customers. These activities could affect the closing value of the underlying in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the notes. They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines.

 

§We and our affiliates may have economic interests that are adverse to yours as a result of our affiliates’ business activities. Our affiliates engage in business activities with a wide range of companies. These activities include extending loans, making and facilitating investments, underwriting notes offerings and providing advisory services. These activities could involve or affect the underlying in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the notes. They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. In addition, in the course of this business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information, which will not be disclosed to you.

 

§The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the notes. If certain events occur during the term of the notes, such as market disruption events and other events with respect to the underlying, CGMI, as calculation agent, will be required to make discretionary judgments that could significantly affect your return on the notes. 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. See “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes—Risk Factors Relating to All Notes—The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the notes” in the accompanying product supplement.

 

§Changes that affect the underlying may affect the value of your notes. The sponsor of the underlying may at any time make methodological changes or other changes in the manner in which it operates that could affect the value of the underlying. We are not affiliated with the underlying sponsor and, accordingly, we have no control over any changes such sponsor may make. Such changes could adversely affect the performance of the underlying and the value of and your return on the notes.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of the accompanying product supplement called “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments,” and the remaining discussion is based on this treatment.

 

If you are a U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement), you will be required to recognize interest income during the term of the notes at the “comparable yield,” which generally is the yield at which we could issue a fixed-rate debt instrument with terms similar to those of the notes, including the level of subordination, term, timing of payments and general market conditions, but excluding any adjustments for the riskiness of the contingencies or the liquidity of the notes.  We are required to construct a “projected payment schedule” in respect of the notes representing a payment the amount and timing of which would produce a yield to maturity on the notes equal to the comparable yield.  Assuming you hold the notes until their maturity, the amount of interest you include in income based on the comparable yield in the taxable year in which the notes mature will be adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected payment on the notes at maturity as determined under the projected payment schedule.

 

Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of the notes prior to maturity, you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds received and your adjusted tax basis in the notes.  Your adjusted tax basis will equal your purchase price for the notes, increased by interest previously included in income on the notes.  Any gain generally will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss generally will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of prior interest inclusions on the note and as capital loss thereafter.

 

We have determined that the comparable yield for a note is a rate of 3.784%, compounded semi-annually, and that the projected payment schedule with respect to a note consists of a single payment of $1,118.892 at maturity.

 

Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual amount that we will pay on the notes.

 

Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to the discussions below regarding Section 871(m) and in “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” and “—FATCA” in the accompanying product supplement, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the notes, under current law you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any payment on or any amount received on the sale, exchange or retirement of the notes, provided that (i) income in respect of the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements.  See “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying product supplement for a more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to Non-U.S. Holders of the notes.

 

As discussed under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Dividend Equivalents Under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities (“Underlying Securities”) or indices that include Underlying Securities.  Section 871(m) generally applies to instruments that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations.  However, the regulations, as modified by an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta” of one.  Based on the terms of the notes and representations provided by us, our counsel is of the opinion that the notes should not be treated as transactions that have a “delta” of one within the meaning of the regulations with respect to any Underlying Security and, therefore, should not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m).

 

A determination that the notes are not subject to Section 871(m) is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this treatment.  Moreover, Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including your other transactions.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.

 

If withholding tax applies to the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.

 

You should read the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement.  The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the notes.  

 

You should also consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Valuation of the Notes

 

CGMI calculated the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on proprietary pricing models. CGMI’s proprietary pricing models generated an estimated value for the notes by estimating the value of a hypothetical package of financial instruments that would replicate the payout on the notes, which consists of a fixed-income bond (the “bond component”) and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the notes (the “derivative component”). CGMI calculated the estimated value of the bond component using a discount rate based on our internal funding rate. CGMI calculated the estimated value of the derivative component based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model, which generated a theoretical price for the instruments that constitute the derivative component based on various inputs, including the factors described under “Summary Risk Factors—The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors” in this pricing supplement, but not including our or Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness. These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by CGMI in its discretionary judgment.

 

For a period of approximately three months following issuance of the notes, the price, if any, at which CGMI would be willing to buy the notes from investors, and the value that will be indicated for the notes on any brokerage account statements prepared by CGMI or its affiliates (which value CGMI may also publish through one or more financial information vendors), will reflect a temporary upward adjustment from the price or value that would otherwise be determined. This temporary upward adjustment represents a portion of the hedging profit expected to be realized by CGMI or its affiliates over the term of the notes. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero on a straight-line basis over the three-month temporary adjustment period. However, CGMI is not obligated to buy the notes from investors at any time.  See “Summary Risk Factors—The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.”

Annex A
Description of the S&P 500® Value Index

 

We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the S&P 500® Value Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P Dow Jones”). The S&P 500® Value Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones. S&P Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the S&P 500® Value Index.

 

The S&P 500® Value Index is reported by Bloomberg, L.P. under the ticker symbol “SVX.”

 

The S&P 500® Value Index is a subset of the S&P 500® Index and is a float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index. S&P Dow Jones allocates the complete float-adjusted market capitalization of the companies included in the S&P 500® Index between the S&P 500® Value Index and the S&P 500® Growth Index (the “Growth Index”) based on an assessment of those companies’ respective value and growth characteristics. The market capitalization of companies exhibiting the strongest value characteristics relative to their respective growth characteristics is allocated to the S&P 500® Value Index (approximately 33% of the market capitalization of the S&P 500® Index), and the market capitalization of companies exhibiting the strongest growth characteristics relative to their respective value characteristics (approximately 33% of the market capitalization of the S&P 500® Index) is allocated to the Growth Index. The market capitalization of the remaining companies included in the S&P 500® Index is split between the S&P 500® Value Index and the Growth Index, with more of the market capitalization of companies exhibiting stronger value characteristics relative to their respective growth characteristics being allocated to the S&P 500® Value Index and more of the market capitalization of companies exhibiting the stronger growth characteristics relative to their respective value characteristics being allocated to the Growth Index.

 

The S&P 500® Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For more information about the S&P 500® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions—The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

 

Underlying Index Construction

 

The S&P 500® Value Index is derived from its parent index, the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Value Index cannot have a constituent that is not also a member of the S&P 500® Index.

 

Style Factors. The Growth Index and the S&P 500® Value Index (the “Style Indices”) measure growth and value along two separate dimensions, with three factors each used to measure growth and value. The list of factors used is outlined in the table below.

 

Growth Factors Value Factors
Three-year change in earnings per share (excluding extra items) over price per share Book value to price ratio
Three-year sales per share growth rate Earnings to price ratio
Momentum (12-month % price change) Sales to price ratio

 

·If earnings from three years prior are not available, two-year change in earnings per share (excluding extra items) over price per share is used. If earnings from two years prior are not available, one-year change in earnings per share (excluding extra items) over price per share is used. If earnings from one year prior are not available, the factor is set equal to zero. If the starting values is less than zero, the score is multiplied by a factor of negative 1.

 

·If sales from three years prior are not available, two-year sales per share growth rate is used. If sales from two years prior are not available, one-year sales per share growth rate is used. If sales from one year prior are not available, the factor is set equal to zero. If the starting values is less than zero, the score is multiplied by a factor of negative 1.

 

·If there is not enough trading history to calculate 12-month momentum then the momentum factor is calculated from the stock’s listing date.

 

·If book value to price ratio, earnings to price ratio, or sales to price ratio is not available then such factor is set equal to zero.

 

Style Scores. Raw values for each of the above factors are calculated by S&P Dow Jones for each company in the S&P Total Market Index universe. The S&P Total Market Index is a float-adjusted, market-capitalization weighted index designed to track the broad U.S. equity market, including large-, mid-, small- and micro-cap stocks.

 

These raw values are first “winsorized” (a statistical tool used to minimize the influence of outliers in data) to the 90th percentile and then standardized by dividing the difference between each company’s raw score and the mean of the entire set by the standard deviation of the entire set. A “growth score” for each company is computed as the average of the standardized values of the three growth factors. Similarly, a “value

 

 PS-11

score” for each company is computed as the average of the standardized values of the three value factors. At the end of this step each company has a growth score and a value score.

 

Establishing Style Baskets. Companies within the S&P 500® Index are then ranked based on their growth and value scores. A company with a high growth score would have a higher “growth rank”, while a company with a low value score would have a lower “value rank.” For example, the S&P 500® Index constituent with the highest value score would have a value rank of 1, while the constituent with the lowest value score would have a value rank of 500.

 

The companies within the S&P 500® Index are then sorted in ascending order by the ratio their growth rank to their value rank. The companies at the top of the list have a higher growth rank (or higher growth score) and a lower value rank (or lower value score) and, therefore, exhibit pure growth characteristics. The companies at the top of the list, comprising 33% of the total index market capitalization, are included in the “growth basket.”

 

The companies at the bottom of the list have a higher value rank (or higher value score) and a lower growth rank (or lower growth score) and, therefore, exhibit pure value characteristics. The companies at the bottom of the list, comprising 33% of the total index market capitalization, are included in the “value basket.”

 

The companies in the middle of the list have similar growth ranks and value ranks and, therefore, exhibit neither pure growth nor pure value characteristics. The companies in the middle of the list, comprising 34% of the total index market capitalization, are included in the “blended basket.”

 

Growth and Value Indices. The style baskets described above are the starting points for the Style Indices’ construction. 100% of the float market capitalization of a company in the value basket is assigned to the S&P 500® Value Index, and 100% of the float market capitalization of a company in the growth basket is assigned to the Growth Index.

 

The middle 34% of float market capitalization consists of companies that have similar growth and value ranks. The market capitalization of these companies that are in the blended basket is distributed between the S&P 500® Value Index and the Growth Index based on their distances from the midpoint of the growth basket and the midpoint of the value basket. The midpoint of each style basket is calculated as the average of value scores and growth scores of all companies in that style basket.

 

Based on back-tested results, the total market capitalization is approximately equally divided among the Growth Index and the S&P 500® Value Index. However, there is no mathematical procedure employed to force equal market capitalization for the Growth Index and Index, since price movements of constituent stocks would result in inequality immediately following any reconstitution. Therefore, the future allocation of the market capitalization to the Style Indices may not be equal.

 

The S&P 500® Value Index is calculated following S&P Dow Jones’ modified market capitalization-weighted, divisor-based index methodology. Corporate actions and index changes are implemented in the same manner as for other market capitalization-weighted indices. See “Equity Index Descriptions—The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement for additional information.

 

Maintenance of the Underlying Index

 

Rebalancing. The S&P 500® Value Index is rebalanced once a year in December. The rebalancings occur after the close on the third Friday of December. The reference date for growth and value expressions is after the close of the last trading date of the previous month.

 

Style scores, float market-capitalization weights and growth and value midpoint averages are reset only once a year at the December rebalancing.

 

Other changes to the S&P 500® Value Index are made on an as-needed basis, following the guidelines of the S&P 500® Index. Changes in response to corporate actions and market developments can be made at any time. Constituent changes are typically announced for the S&P 500® Index two-to-five days before they are scheduled to be implemented.

 

Corporate Actions and Other Adjustments

 

S&P 500® Index Action Adjustment Made to the Underlying Index Divisor Adjustment?
Constituent Change If the index constituent being dropped is a member of the S&P 500® Value Index, it is removed from such index. The replacement stock will then be added to either the S&P 500® Value Index or the Growth Index (or both) based on its growth/value rank, and S&P Dow Jones will announce the percent of float market capitalization of the replacement stock to be added to the S&P 500® Value Index and the Growth Index via its index corporate events report. The percent of float market capitalization of the constituent in each Style Index for the replacement stock is calculated using GICS industry-level averages for stocks outside the S&P Composite 1500 index Yes

  other than spin-offs, and such percentage will be based on old values for inter-index moves.  
Share Changes Between Quarterly Share Adjustments Share count follows the S&P 500® Index share count. Yes
Quarterly Share Changes Share count follows the S&P 500® Index share count. In addition, the new percent of float market capitalization in the S&P 500® Value Index and the Growth Index changes for all constituent stocks at the December rebalancing. These will be pre-announced in a manner similar to quarterly share changes. Yes
Spin-off Index membership follows the S&P 500® Index. The “child stock” is assigned the same percent of float market capitalization in each Style Index as its “parent stock.” No

 

See “Equity Index Descriptions—The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement for the treatment of other corporate actions.

 

Index Governance

 

The S&P 500® Value Index is maintained by an index committee (the “Index Committee”). All members of the Index Committee are full-time professional members of S&P Dow Jones’ staff. The Index Committee meets regularly. At each meeting, the Index Committee may review pending corporate actions that may affect constituents of the S&P 500® Value Index, statistics comparing the composition of the S&P 500® Value Index to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to the S&P 500® Value Index and any significant market events. In addition, the Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for selecting companies, treatment of dividends, share counts or other matters.
