About Your Securities

The amount that you will be paid on your securities on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the common stock of Tesla, Inc. as measured from the pricing date to and including the valuation date.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the initial share price (set on the pricing date), the return on your securities will be positive and equal to at least 51.25% (set on the pricing date).

If the final share price is less than the initial share price but greater than or equal to the downside threshold level of 65.00% of the initial share price, you will receive the principal amount of your securities. However, if the final share price is less than the downside threshold level, you will lose a significant portion of your investment.

The securities are for investors who seek the potential to earn a fixed return of at least 51.25% if the underlying stock appreciates or does not depreciate from the initial share price to the final share price, are willing to forgo interest payments and are willing to risk losing their entire investment if the final share price is less than the downside threshold level.
