Senior Debt Securities, Series E

Equity Index Linked Securities

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

■Linked to the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”)

■Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Index from its starting level to its ending level. The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:

■ If the level of the Index increases (regardless of the extent of that increase), remains the same, or decreases, but the decrease is not more than the buffer amount of 10%, you will receive the face amount plus a contingent fixed return of at least 16.20% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount

■If the level of the Index decreases by more than the buffer amount, you will receive less than the face amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index in excess of the buffer amount

■   Investors may lose up to 90% of the face amount

■     Any positive return on the securities at maturity will be limited to the contingent fixed return, even if the ending level of the Index significantly exceeds the starting level; you will not participate in any appreciation of the Index beyond the contingent fixed return

■All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”)

■No periodic interest payments or dividends

■No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

The estimated value of the securities at the time the terms of your securities are set on the pricing date is expected to be between $935.00 and $965.00 per security, as discussed further under “Selected Risk Considerations— Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Securities and Any Secondary Market” beginning on page P-9 and “Estimated Value of the Securities” herein. The estimated value is expected to be less than the original offering price of the securities.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page P-8 herein and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-6 of the accompanying product supplement and on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus.

The securities are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Bank, and, accordingly, all payments are subject to credit risk. The securities are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation pursuant to the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the “CDIC Act”) or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat the securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement. An investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders, and we will not attempt to ascertain the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the securities.

The Agents may receive a commission of up to $25.75 (2.575%) per security and may use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the distribution of the securities, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession not in excess of $20.00 (2.00%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities may pay $0.75 (0.075%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA. In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we may pay a fee of up to $1.50 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers. The price at which you purchase the securities includes costs that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to incur and profits that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the securities, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the securities. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your securities on the pricing date. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” in this pricing supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

Estimated Value of the Securities

The final terms for the securities will be determined on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, as indicated under “Terms of the Securities” herein, based on prevailing market conditions on the pricing date, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.

The economic terms of the securities are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing), and several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the securities and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities and the amounts that an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities pays to us in connection with hedging your securities as described further under “Terms of the Securities—Agents” herein and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the securities.

On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the securities. The estimated value range was determined by reference to our internal pricing models which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the securities, and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the securities. For more information see the discussion under “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.”

Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agents may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agents or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.

Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately three months after the issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

◾ seek a contingent fixed return at maturity of at least 16.20% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount if the ending level is greater than or equal to the threshold level;

◾ desire to limit downside exposure to the Index through the buffer amount;

◾ are willing to accept the risk that, if the ending level is less than the starting level by more than the buffer amount, they will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the face amount;

◾ understand that any positive return they will receive at maturity will be limited to the contingent fixed return, regardless of the extent to which the ending level exceeds the starting level;

◾ understand and are willing to accept the downside risks of the Index;

◾ are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the securities included in the Index; and

◾ are willing to hold the securities until maturity.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

◾ seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;

◾ are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Index may decrease from the starting level by more than the buffer amount;

◾ seek exposure to the upside performance of the Index that is not limited by the contingent fixed return;

◾ seek a greater contingent fixed return at maturity;

◾ seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;

◾ are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;

◾ seek current income;

◾ are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Index;

◾ seek exposure to the Index but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;

◾ are unwilling to accept the credit risk of the Bank; or

◾ prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Index, please see the section titled “Information Regarding The Index” below.

 Selected Risk Considerations

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Securities Generally

If The Ending Level Is Less Than The Threshold Level, You Will Lose Some, And Possibly Up To 90%, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the stated maturity date. The maturity payment amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the ending level of the Index relative to the starting level and the other terms of the securities. Because the level of the Index will be subject to market fluctuations, the maturity payment amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.

If the ending level is less than the threshold level, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index in excess of the buffer amount, resulting in a loss of 1% of the face amount for every 1% decline in the Index in excess of the buffer amount. The threshold level is 90% of the starting level. As a result, if the ending level is less than the threshold level, you will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the level of the Index is greater than or equal to the starting level or the threshold level at certain times during the term of the securities.

The Potential Return On The Securities Is Limited To The Contingent Fixed Return And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Hypothetical Direct Investment In The Index.

The potential return on the securities is limited to the contingent fixed return, regardless of how significantly the ending level exceeds the starting level. The Index could appreciate from the pricing date through the calculation day by significantly more than the percentage represented by the contingent fixed return, in which case an investment in the securities will underperform a hypothetical alternative investment providing a 1-to-1 return based on the performance of the Index. In addition, you will not receive the value of dividends or other distributions paid with respect to the Index.

No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.

No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities.  However, if the agreed-upon tax treatment is successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), you may be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities.  You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”.

The Return On Your Securities May Change Significantly Despite Only A Small Change In The Level Of The Index.

If the ending level is less than the threshold level, you will receive less than the face amount of your securities and you will lose some, and possibly up to 90% of the face amount per security. This means that while a decrease in the ending level to the threshold level will result in a positive return equal to the contingent fixed return, a decrease in the ending level to less than the threshold level will result in a loss of a 1% of the face amount of the securities for each 1% decline in the Index in excess of the buffer amount despite only a small change in the level of the Index.

Risks Relating To An Investment In the Bank’s Debt Securities, Including The Securities

Investors Are Subject To The Bank’s Credit Risk, And The Bank’s Credit Ratings And Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of The Securities.

Although the return on the securities will be based on the performance of the Index, the payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The securities are the Bank’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities on the stated maturity date and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and to changes in the market’s view of the Bank’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in the Bank’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking the Bank’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If the Bank becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Expected To Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities.

The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to be less than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.

The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.

The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the securities at any time.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Based On Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove To Be Inaccurate And May Be Different From The Pricing Models Of Other Financial Institutions.

The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on the pricing date, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of the securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.

The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Not A Prediction Of The Prices At Which You May Sell Your Securities In The Secondary Market, If Any, And Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities And May Be Less Than The Estimated Value Of Your Securities.

The estimated value of the securities is not a prediction of the prices at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the secondary market at any time, if any, may be based on pricing models that differ from our pricing models and will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be less than the original offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.

The Temporary Price At Which We May Initially Buy The Securities In The Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative Of Future Prices Of Your Securities.

Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if the Agents make a market in the securities, which they are not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the pricing date of the securities, as discussed further under “Estimated Value of the Securities”. The price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.

The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.

Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the securities will likely be less than the original offering price. The original offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the underwriting discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction. In addition, because an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities is to conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that affiliate may

profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation that the dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the dealer to sell the securities to you in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the securities.

There May Not Be An Active Trading Market For The Securities — Sales In The Secondary Market May Result In Significant Losses.

There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any electronic communications network. The Agents and their respective affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, they are not required to do so. The Agents and their respective affiliates may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the securities develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your securities in any secondary market could be substantial.

If you sell your securities before the stated maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the principal amount irrespective of the level of the Index, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.

If The Level Of The Index Changes, The Market Value Of Your Securities May Not Change In The Same Manner.

Your securities may trade quite differently from the performance of the Index. Changes in the level of the Index may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your securities. Even if the level of the Index increases above its starting level during the term of the securities, the market value of your securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.

Risks Relating To The Index

The Index Reflects Price Return Only And Not Total Return.

The return on your securities is based on the performance of the Index, which reflects the changes in the market prices of the index constituent stocks. It is not, however, linked to a “total return” index or strategy, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect dividends paid on the index constituent stocks. The return on your securities will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.

The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Index And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

• Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Index. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Index. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities included in the Index for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities included in the Index would have.

• Historical Levels Of The Index Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Index During The Term Of The Securities.

• Changes That Affect The Index May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities And The Maturity Payment Amount.

• We Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In The Index.

• We And Our Affiliates And The Agents And Their Affiliates Have No Affiliation With The Index Sponsor (Except To The Extent Wells Fargo Securities Is Included In The S&P 500® Index) And Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure Of Information.

Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest

• Trading And Business Activities By The Bank Or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of, And Any Amount Payable On, The Securities.

• There Are Potential Conflicts Of Interest Between You And The Calculation Agent.

Risks Relating To Canadian And U.S. Federal Income Taxation

The 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. You should read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement. You should consult your tax advisors as to the tax consequences of your investment in the securities. An investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders, and we will not attempt to ascertain the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the securities.

For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please see the discussion in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the securities in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and receiving the payments that might be due under the securities.

Hypothetical Examples and Returns

The payout profile, return table and examples below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a $1,000 face amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual starting level, threshold level or contingent fixed return. The hypothetical starting level of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting level. The actual starting level, threshold level and contingent fixed return will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Index, see the historical information set forth herein. The payout profile, return table and examples below assume that an investor purchases the securities for $1,000 per security. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual maturity payment amount and resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities.

Hypothetical Contingent Fixed Return:	16.20% of the face amount or $162.00 per security (the lowest possible contingent fixed return that may be determined on the pricing date)
Hypothetical Starting Level:	100.00
Hypothetical Threshold Level:	90.00 (90% of the hypothetical starting level)
Hypothetical Buffer Amount:	10.00%

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

Hypothetical Examples

Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the contingent fixed return, which is greater than the percentage increase in the closing level of the Index from the hypothetical starting value to the hypothetical ending value:

	S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:	100.00
Hypothetical ending level:	110.00
Hypothetical threshold level:	90.00
Hypothetical index return (ending level – starting level)/starting level:	10.00%

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical threshold level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus the contingent fixed return.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,162.00 per security.

Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the contingent fixed return, which is less than the percentage increase in the closing level of the Index from the hypothetical starting value to the hypothetical ending value:

	S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:	100.00
Hypothetical ending level:	150.00
Hypothetical threshold level:	90.00
Hypothetical index return (ending level – starting level)/starting level:	50.00%

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical threshold level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus the contingent fixed return. Even though the Index increased by 50.00% from the starting level to the ending level in this example, your return is limited to the contingent fixed return of 16.20%

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,162.00 per security. In this case, the return of the securities would be less than the percentage increase of the Index.

Example 3. The ending level is less than the starting level but is greater than the threshold level, and the maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount:

	S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:	100.00
Hypothetical ending level:	95.00
Hypothetical threshold level:	90.00
Hypothetical index return (ending level – starting level)/starting level:	-5.00%

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical threshold level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus the contingent fixed return.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,162.00 per security. In this case, the return of the securities would be greater than the face amount, even though the level of the Index has decreased.

Example 4. Maturity payment amount is less than the face amount:

	S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:	100.00
Hypothetical ending level:	50.00
Hypothetical threshold level:	90.00
Hypothetical index return (ending level – starting level)/starting level:	-50.00%

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level by more than the buffer amount, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (index return + buffer amount)]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00% + 10.00%)]

= $600.00

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $600.00 per security.

The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Sponsor”). The Index Sponsor, owns the copyrights and all other rights to the applicable Index, has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Index. None of the websites referenced in the Index description below, or any materials included in those websites, are incorporated by reference into this document or any document incorporated herein by reference.

The graph below sets forth the information relating to the historical performance of the Index for the periods specified. We obtained the information regarding the historical performance of the Index in the graph below from Bloomberg Professional^® service (“Bloomberg”). We have not conducted any independent review or due diligence of any publicly available information or historical performance information from Bloomberg with respect to the Index. You are urged to make your own investigation into the Index.

The S&P 500^® Index

The S&P 500^® Index (the “SPX”) includes a representative sample of 500 companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The 500 companies are not the 500 largest companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and not all 500 companies are listed on the NYSE. The Index Sponsor, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, chooses companies for inclusion in the SPX with an aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock population of the U.S. domiciled equity market. Although the SPX contains 500 constituent companies, at any one time it may contain greater than 500 constituent trading lines since some companies included in the SPX prior to July 31, 2017 may be represented by multiple share class lines in the SPX. The SPX is calculated, maintained and published by the Index Sponsor and is part of the S&P Dow Jones Indices family of indices. Additional information (including sectors and sector weights and top constituents) is available on the following website: spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-500. We are not incorporating by reference the websites or any material they include in this document or any document incorporated herein by reference.

The Index Sponsor intends for the SPX to provide a performance benchmark for the large-cap U.S. domiciled equity markets. Constituent changes are made on an as-needed basis and there is no schedule for constituent reviews. Index additions and deletions are announced with at least three business days advance notice. Less than three business days’ notice may be given at the discretion of the S&P Index Committee. Relevant criteria for additions to the SPX that are employed by the Index Sponsor include: the company proposed for addition should have an unadjusted company market capitalization of $12.7 billion or more and a security level float-adjusted market capitalization of at least 50% of such threshold (for spin-offs, eligibility is determined using when-issued prices, if available); the float-adjusted liquidity ratio of the stock (defined as the annual dollar value traded divided by the float-adjusted market capitalization) should be greater than or equal to 0.75 at the time of the addition to the SPX and the stock should trade a minimum of 250,000 shares in each of the six months leading up to the evaluation date (current constituents have no minimum requirement), where the annual dollar value traded is calculated as the average closing price multiplied by the historical volume over the 365 calendar days prior to the evaluation date (reduced to the available trading period for IPOs, spinoffs or public companies considered to be U.S. domiciled for index purposes that do not have 365 calendar days of trading history on a U.S. exchange); the company must be a U.S. company (characterized as a Form 10-K filer with its U.S. portion of fixed assets and revenues constituting a plurality of the total and with a primary listing of the common stock on the NYSE, NYSE Arca, NYSE American (formerly NYSE MKT), Nasdaq Global Select Market, Nasdaq Select Market, Nasdaq Capital Market, Cboe BZX (formerly Bats BZX), Cboe BYX (formerly Bats BYX), Cboe EDGA (formerly Bats EDGA) or Cboe EDGX (formerly Bats EDGX) (each, an “eligible exchange”)); the proposed constituent has an investable weight factor (“IWF”) of 10% or more; the inclusion of the company will contribute to sector balance in the SPX relative to sector balance in the market in the relevant market capitalization range; financial viability (the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings (net income excluding discontinued operations) should be positive as should the most recent quarter); and, for IPOs, the company must be traded on an eligible exchange for at least twelve months (for former SPACs, S&P considers the de-SPAC transaction to be an event equivalent to an IPO, and 12 months of trading post the de-SPAC event are required before a former SPAC can be considered for inclusion in the SPX; spin-offs or in-specie distributions from existing constituents do not need to be traded on an eligible exchange for twelve months prior to their inclusion in the SPX). In addition, constituents of the S&P MidCap 400^® Index and the S&P SmallCap 600^® Index can be added to the SPX provided they meet the unadjusted company level market capitalization eligibility criteria for the SPX. Migrations from the S&P MidCap 400^® Index or the S&P SmallCap 600^® Index do not need to meet the financial viability, liquidity, or 50% of the SPX’s unadjusted company level minimum market capitalization threshold criteria. Further, constituents of the S&P Total Market Index Ex S&P Composite 1500 (which includes all eligible U.S. common equities except for those included in the SPX, the S&P MidCap 400^® Index and the S&P SmallCap 600^® Index) that acquire a constituent of the SPX, the S&P MidCap 400^® Index or the S&P SmallCap 600^® Index that do not fully meet all of the eligibility criteria may still be added to the SPX at the discretion of the S&P Index Committee if the merger consideration includes the acquiring company issuing stock to target company shareholders, and the S&P Index Committee determines that the addition could minimize turnover and enhance the representativeness of the SPX as a market benchmark. Certain types of organizational structures and securities are always excluded, including, but not limited to, business development companies (BDCs), limited partnerships, master limited partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), OTC bulletin board issues, closed-end funds, ETFs, ETNs, royalty trusts, tracking stocks, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), preferred stock and convertible preferred stock, unit trusts, equity warrants, convertible bonds, investment trusts, rights and American depositary receipts. SPX constituents are deleted from the SPX when they are involved in mergers, acquisitions or significant restructurings such that they no longer meet the inclusion criteria, and when they substantially violate one or more of the addition criteria. SPX constituents that are delisted or moved to the pink sheets or

P-15

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

the bulletin board are removed, and those that experience a trading halt may be retained or removed in the Index Sponsor’s discretion. The Index Sponsor evaluates additions and deletions with a view to maintaining SPX continuity.

For constituents included in the SPX prior to July 31, 2017, all publicly listed multiple share class lines are included separately in the SPX, subject to, in the case of any such share class line, that share class line satisfying the liquidity and float criteria discussed above and subject to certain exceptions. It is possible that one listed share class line of a company may be included in the SPX while a second listed share class line of the same company is excluded. For companies that issue a second publicly traded share class to SPX share class holders, the newly issued share class line is considered for inclusion if the event is mandatory and the market capitalization of the distributed class is not considered to be de minimis.

As of July 31, 2017, companies with multiple share class lines are no longer eligible for inclusion in the SPX. Only common shares are considered when determining whether a company has a multiple share class structure. Constituents of the SPX prior to July 31, 2017 with multiple share class lines will be grandfathered in and continue to be included in the SPX. If a SPX constituent reorganizes into a multiple share class line structure, that company will be reviewed for continued inclusion in the SPX at the discretion of the S&P Index Committee.

Calculation of the SPX

The SPX is calculated using a base-weighted aggregative methodology. The level of the SPX on any day for which a level is published is determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate of the market price of each SPX constituent times the number of shares of such SPX constituent, and the denominator of which is the divisor, which is described more fully below. The “market value” of any SPX constituent is the product of the market price per share of that SPX constituent times the number of the then-outstanding shares of such SPX constituent that are then included in the SPX.

The SPX is also sometimes called a “base-weighted aggregative index” because of its use of a divisor. The “divisor” is a value calculated by the Index Sponsor that is intended to maintain conformity in SPX levels over time and is adjusted for all changes in the SPX constituents’ share capital after the “base date” as described below. The level of the SPX reflects the total market value of all SPX constituents relative to the SPX’s base date of 1941-43.

In addition, the SPX is float-adjusted, meaning that the share counts used in calculating the SPX reflect only those shares available to investors rather than all of a company’s outstanding shares. The Index Sponsor seeks to exclude shares held by long-term, strategic shareholders concerned with the control of a company, a group that generally includes the following: officers and directors and related individuals whose holdings are publicly disclosed, private equity, venture capital, special equity firms, asset managers and insurance companies with board of director representation, publicly traded companies that hold shares in another company, holders of restricted shares (except for shares held as part of a lock-up agreement), company-sponsored employee share plans/trusts, defined contribution plans/savings, investment plans, foundations or family trusts associated with the company, government entities at all levels (except government retirement or pension funds), sovereign wealth funds and any individual person listed as a 5% or greater stakeholder in a company as reported in regulatory filings (collectively, “strategic holders”). To this end, the Index Sponsor excludes all share-holdings (other than depositary banks, pension funds (including government pension and retirement funds), mutual funds, ETF providers, investment funds, asset managers that do not have direct board of director representation (including stakeholders who may have the right to appoint a board of director member but choose not to do so, stakeholders who have exercised a right to appoint a board of director “observer” even if that observer is employed by the stakeholder and stakeholders who have exercised a right to appoint an independent director who is not employed by the stakeholder), investment funds of insurance companies and independent foundations not associated with the company) with a position greater than 5% of the outstanding shares of a company from the float-adjusted share count to be used in SPX calculations.

The exclusion is accomplished by calculating an IWF for each SPX constituent that is part of the numerator of the float-adjusted index fraction described above:

IWF = (available float shares)/(total shares outstanding)

where available float shares is defined as total shares outstanding less shares held by strategic holders. In most cases, an IWF is reported to the nearest one percentage point. For companies with multiple share class lines, a separate IWF is calculated for each share class line.

Maintenance of the SPX

In order to keep the SPX comparable over time the Index Sponsor engages in an index maintenance process. The SPX maintenance process involves changing the constituents as discussed above, and also involves maintaining quality assurance processes and procedures, adjusting the number of shares used to calculate the SPX, monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, adjusting for stock splits and stock dividends and adjusting for other corporate actions. In addition to its daily governance of indices and maintenance of the SPX methodology, at least once within any 12 month period, the S&P Index Committee reviews the SPX methodology to ensure the SPX continues to achieve the stated objective, and that the data and methodology remain effective. The S&P Index Committee may at times consult with investors, market participants, security issuers included in or potentially included in the SPX, or investment and financial experts.

Divisor Adjustments

The two types of adjustments primarily used by the Index Sponsor are divisor adjustments and adjustments to the number of shares (including float adjustments) used to calculate the SPX. Set forth below under “Adjustments for Corporate Actions” is a table of certain

P-16

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

corporate events and their resulting effect on the divisor and the share count. If a corporate event requires an adjustment to the divisor, that event has the effect of altering the market value of the affected SPX constituent and consequently of altering the aggregate market value of the SPX constituents following the event. In order that the level of the SPX not be affected by the altered market value (which could be an increase or decrease) of the affected SPX constituent, the Index Sponsor generally derives a new divisor by dividing the post-event market value of the SPX constituents by the pre-event SPX level, which has the effect of reducing the SPX’s post-event level to the pre-event level.

Changes to the Number of Shares of a Constituent

The index maintenance process also involves tracking the changes in the number of shares included for each of the index companies. Changes as a result of mandatory events, such as mergers or acquisition driven share/IWF changes, stock splits and mandatory distributions are not subject to a minimum threshold for implementation and are implemented when the transaction occurs. At the Index Sponsor’s discretion, however, de minimis merger and acquisition changes may be accumulated and implemented with the updates made with the quarterly share updates as described below. Material share/IWF changes resulting from certain non-mandatory corporate actions follow the accelerated implementation rule. Non-material share/IWF changes are implemented quarterly.

Accelerated Implementation Rule

1. Public offerings. Public offerings of new company-issued shares and/or existing shares offered by selling shareholders, including block sales and spot secondaries, will be eligible for accelerated implementation treatment if the size of the event meets the materiality threshold criteria:

(a) at least US $150 million, and

(b) at least 5% of the pre-event total shares.

In addition to the materiality threshold, public offerings must satisfy the following conditions:

• be underwritten.

• have a publicly available prospectus, offering document, or prospectus summary filed with the relevant authorities.

• have a publicly available confirmation from an official source that the offering has been completed.

For public offerings that involve a concurrent combination of new company shares and existing shares offered by selling shareholders, both events are implemented if either of the public offerings represent at least 5% of total shares and $150 million. Any concurrent share repurchase by the affected company will also be included in the implementation.

2. Dutch Auctions, self-tender offer buybacks, and split-off exchange offers. These nonmandatory corporate action types will be eligible for accelerated implementation treatment regardless of size once the final results are publicly announced and verified by S&P.

For companies with multiple share class lines, the criteria specified above apply to each individual multiple share class line rather than total company shares.

Exception to the Accelerated Implementation Rule

For non-mandatory corporate actions subject to the accelerated implementation rule with a size of at least US $1 billion, S&P will apply the share change, and any resulting IWF change, using the latest share and ownership information publicly available at the time of the announcement, even if the offering size is below the 5% threshold. This exception ensures that very large events are recognized in a timely manner using the latest available information.

Any non-fully paid or non-fully settled offering such as forward sales agreements are not eligible for accelerated implementation. Share updates resulting from completion of subscription receipts terms or the settlement of forward sale agreements are updated at a future quarterly share rebalancing.

All non-mandatory events not covered by the accelerated implementation rule (including but not limited to private placements, acquisition of private companies, and conversion of non-index share lines) will be implemented quarterly coinciding with the third Friday of the third month in each calendar quarter. In addition, events that were not implemented under the accelerated implementation rule but were found to have been eligible, (e.g. due to lack of publicly available information at the time of the event) are implemented as part of a quarterly rebalancing.

Announcement Policy

For accelerated implementation, the Index Sponsor will generally provide two (2) business days’ notice for all non-U.S. listed stocks and U.S. listed depositary receipts, and one (1) business days’ notice for all non-depositary receipt U.S. listed stocks.

IWF Updates

Accelerated implementation for events less than $1 billion will include an adjustment to the company’s IWF only to the extent that such an IWF change helps the new float share total mimic the shares available in the offering. To minimize unnecessary turnover, these IWF changes do not need to meet any minimum threshold requirement for implementation. Any IWF change resulting in an IWF of 0.96 or greater is rounded up to 1.00 at the next annual IWF review.

P-17

Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500^® Index due September 5, 2025

IWF changes will only be made at the quarterly review if the change represents at least 5% of total current shares outstanding and is related to a single corporate action that did not qualify for the accelerated implementation rule, regardless of whether there is an associated share change.

Quarterly share change events resulting from the conversion of derivative securities, acquisitions of private companies, or acquisitions of non-index companies that do not trade on a major exchange are considered to be available to investors unless there is explicit information stating that the new owner is a strategic holder.

Other than the situations described above, please note that IWF changes are only made at the annual IWF review.

Rebalancing Guidelines – Share/IWF Reference Date & Freeze Period

A reference date, after the market close five weeks prior to the third Friday in March, June, September, and December, is the cutoff for publicly available information used for quarterly shares outstanding and IWF changes. All shares outstanding and ownership information contained in public filings and/or official sources dated on or before the reference date are included in that quarter’s update. In addition, there is a freeze period on a quarterly basis for any changes that result from the accelerated implementation rules.

Pro-forma files for float-adjusted market capitalization indices are generally released after the market close on the first Friday, two weeks prior to the rebalancing effective date. Pro-forma files for capped and alternatively weighted indices are generally released after the market close on the second Friday, one week prior to the rebalancing effective date. For illustration purposes, if rebalancing pro-forma files are scheduled to be released on Friday, March 5, the share/IWF freeze period will begin after the close of trading on Tuesday, March 9 and will end after the close of trading the following Friday, March 19 (i.e. the third Friday of the rebalancing month).

During the share/IWF freeze period, shares and IWFs are not changed and the accelerated implementation rule is suspended, except for mandatory corporate action events (such as merger activity, stock splits, and rights offerings). The suspension includes all changes that qualify for accelerated implementation and would typically be announced or effective during the share/IWF freeze period. At the end of the freeze period all suspended changes will be announced on the third Friday of the rebalancing month and implemented five business days after the quarterly rebalancing effective date.

Adjustments for Corporate Actions

There is a large range of corporate actions that may affect companies included in the SPX. Certain corporate actions require the Index Sponsor to recalculate the share count or the float adjustment or to make an adjustment to the divisor to prevent the level of the SPX from changing as a result of the corporate action. This helps ensure that the movement of the SPX does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the SPX.

Spin-Offs

As a general policy, a spin-off security is added to the SPX on the ex-date at a price of zero (with no divisor adjustment) and will remain in the SPX for at least one trading day. The spin-off security will remain in the SPX if it meets all eligibility criteria. If the spin-off security is determined ineligible to remain in the SPX, it will generally be removed after at least one day of regular way trading (with a divisor adjustment). The weight of the spin-off being deleted is reinvested across all the SPX constituents proportionately such that the relative weights of all SPX constituents are unchanged. The net change in SPX market capitalization will cause a divisor change.

Companies that are spun off from a SPX constituent do not need to meet the eligibility criteria for new constituents, but they should be considered U.S. domiciled for SPX purposes. At the discretion of the S&P Index Committee, a spin-off company may be retained in the SPX if the S&P Index Committee determines it has a total market capitalization representative of the SPX. If the spin-off company’s estimated market capitalization is below the minimum unadjusted company market capitalization for the SPX but there are other SPX constituents that have a significantly lower total market capitalization than the spin-off company, the S&P Index Committee may decide to retain the spin-off company in the SPX.

Several additional types of corporate actions, and their related treatment, are listed in the table below.

Corporate Action	Treatment
SPX constituent addition/deletion	Addition SPX constituents are added at the float market capitalization weight. The net change to the SPX market capitalization causes a divisor adjustment. Deletion The weights of all SPX constituents in the SPX will proportionally change. Relative weights will stay the same. The divisor will change due to the net change in the SPX market capitalization.
Change in shares outstanding	Increasing (decreasing) the shares outstanding increases (decreases) the market capitalization of the SPX. The change to the SPX market capitalization causes a divisor adjustment.

Split/reverse split	Shares outstanding are adjusted by split ratio. Stock price is adjusted by split ratio. There is no change to the SPX market capitalization and no divisor adjustment.
Change in IWF	Increasing (decreasing) the IWF increases (decreases) the market capitalization of the index. A net change to the SPX market capitalization causes a divisor adjustment.
Ordinary dividend	When a company pays an ordinary cash dividend, the SPX does not make any adjustments to the price or shares of the stock. As a result there are no divisor adjustments to the SPX.
Special dividend	The stock price is adjusted by the amount of the special dividend. The net change to the SPX market capitalization causes a divisor adjustment.
Rights offering	All rights offerings that are in-the-money on the ex-date are applied under the assumption the rights are fully subscribed. The stock price is adjusted by the value of the rights and the shares outstanding are increased by the rights ratio. The net change in market capitalization causes a divisor adjustment.

Any company that is removed from the SPX, the S&P MidCap 400^® Index or the S&P SmallCap 600^® Index must wait a minimum of one year from its removal date before being reconsidered as a replacement candidate for the SPX.

Recalculation Policy

The Index Sponsor reserves the right to recalculate and republish the SPX at its discretion in the event one of the following issues has occurred: (1) incorrect or revised closing price of one or more constituent securities; (2) missed or misapplied corporate action; (3) incorrect application of SPX methodology; (4) late announcement of a corporate action; or (5) incorrect calculation or data entry error. The decision to recalculate the SPX is made at the discretion of the index manager and/or index committee, as further discussed below. The potential market impact or disruption resulting from a recalculation is considered when making any such decision. In the event of an incorrect closing price, a missed or misapplied corporate action, a late announcement of a corporate action, or an incorrect calculation or data entry error that is discovered within two trading days of its occurrence, generally the SPX is recalculated. In the event any such event is discovered beyond the two trading day period, the index committee shall decide whether the SPX should be recalculated. In the event of an incorrect application of the methodology that results in the incorrect composition and/or weighting of SPX constituents, the index committee shall determine whether or not to recalculate the SPX following specified guidelines. In the event that the SPX is recalculated, it shall be done within a reasonable timeframe following the detection and review of the issue.

Calculations and Pricing Disruptions

Closing levels for the SPX are calculated by the Index Sponsor based on the closing price of the individual constituents of the SPX as set by their primary exchange. Closing prices are received by the Index Sponsor from one of its third party vendors and verified by comparing them with prices from an alternative vendor. The vendors receive the closing price from the primary exchanges. Real-time intraday prices are calculated similarly without a second verification. Official end-of-day calculations are based on each stock’s primary market closing price. Prices used for the calculation of real time SPX levels are based on the “Consolidated Tape”. The Consolidated Tape is an aggregation of trades for each constituent over all regional exchanges and trading venues and includes the primary exchange. If there is a failure or interruption on one or more exchanges, real-time calculations will continue as long as the “Consolidated Tape” is operational.

If an interruption is not resolved prior to the market close, official closing prices will be determined by following the hierarchy set out in NYSE Rule 123C. A notice is published on the Index Sponsor website at spglobal.com indicating any changes to the prices used in SPX calculations. In extreme circumstances, the Index Sponsor may decide to delay SPX adjustments or not publish the SPX. Real-time indices are not restated.

Unexpected Exchange Closures

An unexpected market/exchange closure occurs when a market/exchange fully or partially fails to open or trading is temporarily halted. This can apply to a single exchange or to a market as a whole, when all of the primary exchanges are closed and/or not trading. Unexpected market/exchange closures are usually due to unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters, inclement weather, outages, or other events.

To a large degree, the Index Sponsor is dependent on the exchanges to provide guidance in the event of an unexpected exchange closure. The Index Sponsor’s decision making is dependent on exchange guidance regarding pricing and mandatory corporate actions.

NYSE Rule 123C provides closing contingency procedures for determining an official closing price for listed securities if the exchange is unable to conduct a closing transaction in one or more securities due to a system or technical issue.

3:00 PM ET is the deadline for an exchange to determine its plan of action regarding an outage scenario. As such, the Index Sponsor also uses 3:00 PM ET as the cutoff.

If all major exchanges fail to open or unexpectedly halt trading intraday due to unforeseen circumstances, the Index Sponsor will take the following actions:

Market Disruption Prior to Open of Trading:

(i)If all exchanges indicate that trading will not open for a given day, the Index Sponsor will treat the day as an unscheduled market holiday. The decision will be communicated to clients as soon as possible through the normal channels. Indices containing multiple markets will be calculated as normal, provided that at least one market is open that day. Indices which only contain closed markets will not be calculated.

(ii)If exchanges indicate that trading, although delayed, will open for a given day, the Index Sponsor will begin index calculation when the exchanges open.

Market Disruption Intraday:

(i)If exchanges indicate that trading will not resume for a given day, the SPX level will be calculated using prices determined by the exchanges based on NYSE Rule 123C. Intraday SPX levels will continue to use the last traded composite price until the primary exchange publishes official closing prices.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

You should carefully review the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.

Due to the absence of statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, the Bank and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts that are “open transactions” with respect to the Index. If the securities are so treated, upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your securities, you generally should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such taxable disposition and your tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss). The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance.  In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.

Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat your securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – Alternative Treatments” in the product supplement.

The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”, such as the securities, and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.

An investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders because such an investment may result in significant adverse tax consequences. In particular, persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the securities may withhold on any coupon paid to you, generally at a rate of 30%, and to the extent that we have (or an affiliate of ours has) withholding responsibility in respect of the securities, we intend to so withhold. This discussion does not otherwise address the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the ownership or disposition of the securities.
