Period:

Redemption
Amount:

The Redemption Amount of the securities an investor will be entitled to receive will depend on the individual performance of each Underlying. Subject to Early Redemption, the Redemption Amount will be determined as follows:

  • If a Knock-In Event occurs during the Observation Period, the Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the securities you hold multiplied by the sum of one plus the Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying. In this case, the maximum Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the securities, but the Redemption Amount may be less than the principal amount of the securities and you could lose your entire investment.

  • If a Knock-In Event does not occur during the Observation Period, the Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the securities.

Any payment an investor will be entitled to receive at maturity is subject to the Issuer’s ability to pay its obligations as they become due.
