Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The Ending Index Level increases from the Strike Level of 80.00 to an Ending Index Level of 84.00. Because the Ending Index Level of 84.00 is greater than the Strike Level of 80.00, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,038.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1 + 5%) – $11.50 = $1,038.50

Example 2: The Ending Index Level increases from the Strike Level of 80.00 to an Ending Index Level of 80.40. Even though the Ending Index Level of 80.40 is greater than the Strike Level of 80.00, because the Index Return is less than 1.15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $993.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1 +0.50%) – $11.50 = $993.50

Example 3: The Ending Index Level decreases from the Strike Level of 80.00 to an Ending Index Level of 64.00. Because the Ending Index Level of 64.00 is less than the Strike Level of 80.00, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $788.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1 + -20%) – $11.50 = $788.50

Example 4: The Ending Index Level decreases from the Strike Level of 80.00 to an Ending Index Level of 0. Because the Ending Index Level of 0 is less than the Strike Level of 80.00, and because the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note may not be less than $0, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $0 per $1,000 principal amount note.
