Citi’s $1.5 Billion Offering

Cleary Gottlieb represented the underwriters, led by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., in a registered offering by Citigroup Inc. (Citi) of 1.5 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/25th interest in a share of 7% fixed-rate reset noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series DD ($25,000 liquidation preference per share).

The offering priced on July 23, 2024, and will close on July 30, 2024.

Instead of the initial fixed dividend rate of 7% transitioning from a fixed rate to a floating rate on the first call date, the dividend payment calculation for the preferred stock will reset to a new fixed rate on August 15, 2034, and every 10 years after that date. The new fixed rate will be calculated based on the 10-year treasury rate three days prior to each reset date.
