Selected Risk Factors

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. You should read “Selected Risk Considerations” in term sheet No. 744BF for detailed information about the risks listed below.

YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The securities do not guarantee any return of your initial investment. The return on the securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the Reference Underlying and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Reference Underlying performance is positive or negative. If the Closing Level of the Reference Underlying is less than the Threshold Level on any date during the Observation Period and the Final Level is less than the Initial Level, your investment will become fully exposed to any negative performance of the Reference Underlying and you could lose up to your entire initial investment in the securities.
THE RETURN ON YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IS LIMITED TO THE COUPON PAYMENTS — The return on the securities cannot increase above the Coupon Payments of between 7.00% and 10.30% per annum (to be determined on the Trade Date) and your payment at maturity is limited to a maximum payment of between$1,035.00 and $1,051.50 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1,000 Face Amount of the securities you hold, regardless of any increase in the level of the Reference Underlying.
THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO OUR CREDITWORTHINESS — An actual or anticipated downgrade in our credit rating will likely have an adverse effect on the market value of the securities. Coupon Payments and the Payment at Maturity on the securities are subject to our creditworthiness.
NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — You will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the component stocks of the Reference Underlying.
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES PRIOR TO MATURITY — Certain built-in costs, such as the agents’ commission and our estimated cost of hedging, are likely to adversely affect the value of the securities prior to maturity. You should be willing and able to hold your securities to maturity.
OUR RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE REFERENCE UNDERLYING OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — We and our affiliates and agents may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the securities, which could affect the level of the Reference Underlying or the value of the securities.
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — Because we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — In addition to the Closing Level of the Reference Underlying on any day, the value of the securities will be affected by a number of complex and interrelated economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other.
LACK OF LIQUIDITY — There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.
THE U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES ARE UNCLEAR — Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the Internal Revenue Service, or a court might not agree with the tax consequences described in the accompanying term sheet.
