Note Payout Scenarios
Upside Scenario If Automatic Call:
If the closing level of the Index on any Review Date (other than the final Review Date) is greater than or equal to the Call Value, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive on the applicable Call Settlement Date the $1,000 principal amount plus the Call Premium Amount applicable to that Review Date. No further payments will be made on the notes.
●If the closing level of the Index increases 10.00% as of the first Review Date, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive a return equal to 20.40%, or $1,204.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
●If the notes have not been previously automatically called and the closing level of the Index increases 80.00% as of the fifth Review Date, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive a return equal to 40.80%, or $1,408.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Upside Scenario If No Automatic Call:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to the Index Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of 5.00.
●If the notes have not been automatically called and the closing level of the Index increases 5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 25.00%, or $1,250.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Par Scenario:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is equal to the Initial Value or is less than the Initial Value but greater than or equal to the Barrier Amount of 50.00% of the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount of 50.00% of the Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value.
●For example, if the notes have not been automatically called and the closing level of the Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their principal amount and receive only $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term or until automatically called. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement, product supplement and underlying supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
●YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 50.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
●THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX WILL INCLUDE A 6.0% PER ANNUM DAILY DEDUCTION —
The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. The level of the Index will trail the value of an identically constituted synthetic portfolio that is not subject to any such deduction.
The index deduction will place a significant drag on the performance of the Index, potentially offsetting positive returns on the Index’s investment strategy, exacerbating negative returns of its investment strategy and causing the level of the Index to decline steadily if the return of its investment strategy is relatively flat. The Index will not appreciate unless the return of its investment strategy is sufficient to offset the negative effects of the index deduction, and then only to the extent that the return of its investment
