How the Stop Loss Trigger Works for CitiFirst MINI Products

CitiFirst MINIs are leveraged derivative instruments issued by Citigroup Global Markets Australia that offer amplified exposure to underlying assets with a built-in Stop Loss Trigger Level. When the underlying parcel price reaches or surpasses this trigger level—downward for MINI Long products or upward for MINI Short products—a Stop Loss Trigger Event activates automatically. This feature is designed to limit investors’ losses by terminating the product once the price threshold is breached, capping downside risk at the Stop Loss Amount.

The Stop Loss process unfolds in two stages. Upon a Stop Loss Trigger Event, the related CitiFirst MINI series is immediately suspended from trading. Subsequently, the issuer posts a bid price at the Cash Amount level on the ASX, visible from 2pm on the trading day after suspension until 4pm the next trading day. This temporary trading window allows holders to liquidate positions at the predetermined Stop Loss Amount before automatic termination and cash settlement.

Details of the Eight Suspended CitiFirst MINI Products

The update lists eight CitiFirst MINI products suspended due to Stop Loss Trigger Events on 17 July 2026. These include SLXJOB tracking Silex Systems Limited with a Stop Loss Level of 4.6400 per parcel; ILUKOE tracking Iluka Resources Limited at 6.1500; IGOKOB tracking IGO Limited at 6.6300; and LTRKOC tracking Liontown Resources Limited at 1.3300. BHPKOA provides exposure to BHP Group Limited with a Stop Loss Level of 57.1700, PDNKOA tracks Paladin Energy Limited at 8.4300, and 4DXKOB tracks 4DMEDICAL Limited at 3.3000 per parcel.

The portfolio also includes NI2KOD, which tracks the Nikkei 225 Futures Index (September 2026 contract) with a 0.1 conversion ratio and a Stop Loss Level of 63488.0000. The suspended products span materials and mining companies like BHP, Iluka Resources, and Liontown Resources, as well as healthcare and technology firms such as 4DMEDICAL, plus international equity index exposure via the Nikkei 225. Most products have a 1:1 conversion ratio, except the Nikkei 225 product operating at 0.1.

Temporary Trading Window and Stop Loss Amount Procedures

Following suspension, CitiFirst MINI holders can access a limited trading window to exit positions. Starting at 2pm on the trading day after the Stop Loss event, Citigroup displays a bid at the Cash Amount on the ASX, available until 4pm the next trading day. This window provides holders an opportunity to sell their CitiFirst MINIs directly to Citigroup at the predetermined Stop Loss Amount before automatic termination.

Holders selling during this period receive the Stop Loss Amount per MINI at sale. Those who do not sell will have their positions automatically terminated, with Citigroup delivering the Stop Loss Amount within 10 business days after the trading day following the Stop Loss event. Upon payment, the CitiFirst MINI expires and ceases to exist.

Resource and Mining Sector Focus Among Suspended Products

A notable share of the suspended CitiFirst MINIs track Australian resource and mining companies, indicating strong investor interest in this sector through leveraged products. BHPKOA offers exposure to BHP Group Limited with a Stop Loss Level of 57.1700. PDNKOA tracks uranium producer Paladin Energy Limited at 8.4300. ILUKOE covers Iluka Resources Limited with a Stop Loss Level of 6.1500, and LTRKOC tracks lithium developer Liontown Resources Limited at 1.3300.

This concentration highlights how investors use leveraged products for amplified returns or hedging in commodities and resources. The simultaneous Stop Loss triggers across multiple resource-focused MINIs suggest broader market or sector-wide price shifts impacting commodity prices and company valuations. This pattern reflects the interconnected pricing dynamics and correlated risks within the resource sector leveraged derivatives.

Technology and Healthcare Sector Exposure in Suspended MINIs

Beyond resources, suspended CitiFirst MINIs include technology and healthcare sector exposure. SLXJOB tracks Silex Systems Limited, an ASX-listed technology company, with a Stop Loss Level of 4.6400. 4DXKOB tracks healthcare technology firm 4DMEDICAL Limited at 3.3000. These products illustrate CitiFirst MINI’s broad sector coverage beyond traditional resources and mining.

The presence of technology and healthcare stocks in the suspension list underscores the diverse underlying assets available through CitiFirst MINIs. Investors seeking leveraged exposure to growth sectors or companies with specific operational profiles may use these products. The concurrent suspension of resource and technology-linked MINIs indicates market volatility affecting multiple ASX sectors.

International Equity Index Exposure via Nikkei 225 MINI

The suspended portfolio includes NI2KOD, which tracks the Nikkei 225 Futures Index for the September 2026 contract. Operating with a 0.1 conversion ratio and a Stop Loss Level of 63488.0000, this product provides leveraged exposure to Japanese equities without direct holdings. The Stop Loss event here signals significant price movement in the Japanese market during the relevant period.

Including an international index product in the suspension highlights CitiFirst MINI’s multi-asset class capabilities, extending leverage beyond Australian equities to major global indices.

Issuer Bid and Cash Settlement for Suspended CitiFirst MINIs

Per product terms, Citigroup Global Markets Australia must display a bid at the Cash Amount during the temporary trading window. This issuer bid ensures holders have a guaranteed buyer from 2pm the day after the Stop Loss event until 4pm the following trading day. The ASX bid provides transparent pricing and liquidity for exiting positions.

Holders who do not sell during this window will receive the Stop Loss Amount within 10 business days after the trading day following the Stop Loss event. Upon payment, the CitiFirst MINI automatically expires, eliminating further market risk and ensuring expired products are no longer tradable.

Support and Information for CitiFirst MINI Holders

Citigroup offers support for affected CitiFirst MINI holders. Investors can contact their financial advisor or CitiFirst directly at 1300 30 70 70 for assistance regarding the suspension, Stop Loss mechanics, temporary trading window, and settlement process. This dedicated support line reflects Citigroup’s commitment to guiding holders through the suspension and termination phases.

The Stop Loss event notification and product suspension follow standard procedures under CitiFirst MINI terms, with clear processes to protect both holders and the issuer. Investors unfamiliar with leveraged products or Stop Loss triggers are advised to seek clarification from advisors or CitiFirst support before acting. Understanding the timing of the temporary trading window and automatic cash settlement is essential for making informed decisions about selling or allowing automatic termination.
