General

Key Terms

Index:

S&P GSCI™ Precious Metals Index Excess Return (Bloomberg ticker: “SPGCPMP”) (the “Index”). For more information on the Index, please see “Selected Purchase Considerations — Return Linked to the S&P GSCI™ Precious Metals Index Excess Return” in this term sheet.

Upside Leverage Factor:

One (1). There is no upside return enhancement.

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index Level, at maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Index Return, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes that will not be less than 22.25%* or greater than 27.25%*. For example, assuming the Maximum Total Return is 22.25%, if the Index Return is equal to or greater than approximately 22.25%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 22.25%*, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,222.50* for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Index Return is positive, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Index Return)

 

* The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 22.25% or greater than 27.25% and accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity will not be less than $1,222.50 or greater than $1,272.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

 

If the Ending Index Level is less than or equal to the Initial Index Level by up to 15%, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level by more than 15%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Index declines beyond 15% and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Index Return + 15%)]

 

You will lose up to $850 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity if the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level by more than 15%.

Buffer Amount:

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the S&P GSCI™ Precious Metals Index Excess Return?

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an Initial Index Level of 180 and a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 22.25% and reflect the Buffer Amount of 15%. The actual Maximum Total Return will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 22.25% or greater than 27.25%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total return applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 180 to an Ending Index Level of 189.
Because the Ending Index Level of 189 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 180, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 5%) = $1,050

Example 2: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 180 to an Ending Index Level of 153.
Although the Index Return is negative, because the Ending Index Level of 153 is less than the Initial Index Level of 180 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 180 to an Ending Index Level of 252.
Because the Ending Index Level of 252 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 180 and the Index Return of 40% exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 22.25%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,222.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 180 to an Ending Index Level of 126.
Because the Index Return is negative and the Ending Index Level of 126 is less than the Initial Index Level of 180 by more than the Buffer Amount of 15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $850 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-30%+15%)] = $850

Example 5: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 180 to an Ending Index Level of 0.
Because the Index Return is negative and the Ending Index Level of 0 is less than the Initial Index Level of 180 by more than the Buffer Amount of 15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $150 per $1,000 principal amount note, which reflects the protection provided by the Buffer Amount of 15%, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-100%+15%)] = $150
