Return Enhanced Notes
Linked to the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, Converted into U.S. Dollars, due November 30, 2011

General

Key Terms

Index:

The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (the “Index”), converted into U.S. dollars

Upside Leverage Factor:

3

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Index Return multiplied by three, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of at least 15.36%*. For example, assuming the Maximum Total Return is 15.36%*, if the Index Return is more than 5.12%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15.36%*, which entitles you to the maximum payment of $1,153.60* at maturity 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 × Index Return × 3)

 

*

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 15.36% and $1,153.60 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively.

 

Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars at maturity. If the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level, you will lose 1 % of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return)

 

You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level. If the value of the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Hong Kong dollar, you may lose some or all of your investment in the notes, even if the closing level of the Index has increased during the term of the notes.

Index Return:

The performance of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, from the Initial Index Level to the Ending Index Level, calculated as follows:

  Ending Index Level – Initial Index Level
Initial Index Level

Initial Index Level:

The Adjusted Closing Level of the Index on the pricing date, which is expected to be on or about May 25, 2011

Ending Index Level:

The arithmetic average of the Adjusted Closing Levels of the Index on each of the five Ending Averaging Dates

Adjusted Closing Level:

On any trading day, the closing level of the Index on such trading day multiplied by the Exchange Rate of the Index on such trading day

Exchange Rate:

The “Exchange Rate” of the Index on any trading day will be the spot rate in the interbank market of U.S. dollars per one unit of Hong Kong dollar, as determined by the calculation agent, expressed as one divided by the amount of Hong Kong dollars per one unit of the U.S. dollar, as reported by Reuters Group PLC (“Reuters”) on Reuters page “WMRSPOT12” at approximately 11:15 a.m., Hong Kong, China time.

Underlying Currency:

With respect to the Index, the Hong Kong dollar

Currency Business Day:

With respect to the Index, “currency business day” is a day on which (a) dealings in foreign currency in accordance with the practice of the foreign exchange market occur in Hong Kong, China and (b) banking institutions in Hong Kong, China are not otherwise authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close, each as determined by the calculation agent.

Ending Averaging Dates:

November 21, 2011, November 22, 2011, November 23, 2011, November 24, 2011 and November 25, 2011

Supplemental Information About the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index

HSI Services Limited (“HSI”) has changed its name to Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited (“HSICL”).  Accordingly, all references in the accompanying product supplement no. 166-A-I to “HSI Services Limited” will be deemed to refer to “Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited” and all references to “HSI” will be deemed to refer to “HSICL.”

The Hong Kong Dollar/U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate

Exchange rates reflect the amount of one currency that can be exchanged for a unit of another currency.

The Exchange Rate used to calculate the Adjusted Closing Levels is expressed as the amount of U.S. dollars per Hong Kong dollar. This is expressed differently from the conventional market quotation for the Hong Kong dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate, which is expressed as the amount of Hong Kong dollars per U.S. dollar. As a result, the same change in the value of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will cause the Exchange Rate and the conventional market quotation to move in opposite directions. For example, if the Hong Kong dollar appreciates/strengthens relative to the U.S. dollar, the Exchange Rate will increase, while the conventional market quotation will decrease (and vice versa). The following discussion relates to the Exchange Rate used to calculate the Adjusted Closing Levels, and not the conventional market quotation.

A decrease in the Exchange Rate from the pricing date to an Ending Averaging Date means that the Hong Kong dollar has depreciated/weakened relative to the U.S. dollar. This means that it takes more Hong Kong dollars to purchase one U.S. dollar on the applicable Ending Averaging Date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, one Hong Kong dollar can purchase fewer U.S. dollars on the applicable Ending Averaging Date than it could on the pricing date. A hypothetical Exchange Rate of 0.13 on an Ending Averaging Date reflects a weakening of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, as compared to a hypothetical Exchange Rate of 0.14 on the pricing date.

Conversely, an increase in the Exchange Rate from the pricing date to an Ending Averaging Date means that the Hong Kong dollar has appreciated/strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar. This means that it takes fewer Hong Kong dollars to purchase one U.S. dollar on the applicable Ending Averaging Date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, one Hong Kong dollar can purchase more U.S. dollar on the applicable Ending Averaging Date than it could on the pricing date. A hypothetical Exchange Rate of 0.15 on an Ending Averaging Date reflects a strengthening of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, as compared to a hypothetical Exchange Rate of 0.14 on the pricing date.

Actual Exchange Rates on the pricing date and the Ending Averaging Dates will vary from those used in the examples above.

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?

The following table, graph and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note. 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 1651 (based on a hypothetical closing level of the Index on the pricing date of 12700 and a hypothetical Exchange Rate on the pricing date of 0.13) and a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15.36%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table, graph 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 and the graph above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, increases from the Initial Index Level of 1651 to an Ending Index Level of 1692.275

Because the Ending Index Level of 1692.275 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1651 and the Index Return of 5% multiplied by 3 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 15.36%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,075 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (2.50% × 3)] = $1,075

Example 2: The level of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, increases from the Initial Index Level of 1651 to an Ending Index Level of 1981.20.

Because the Ending Index Level of 1981.20 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1651 and the Index Return of 20% multiplied by 3 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 15.36%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,153.60 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 3: The level of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, decreases from the Initial Index Level of 1651 to an Ending Index Level of 1320.80. Because the Ending Index Level of 1320.80 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is negative, and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -20%) = $800

These returns and the payouts on the notes shown above do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical total returns and payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Hypothetical Examples of Index Return Calculations

The following examples illustrate how the Index Return is calculated in different hypothetical scenarios. The examples below assume that the hypothetical closing level of the Index on the pricing date is 12700, the hypothetical Exchange Rate for the Index on the pricing date is 0.13 and, therefore, the hypothetical Initial Index Level is 1651. The examples below also assume that the Ending Index Level for the Index is based on the Adjusted Closing Level of the Index on a single date, which we refer to as the final Ending Averaging Date. The hypothetical Index Returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Index Returns. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.  

Example 1: The closing level of the Index increases from 12700 on the pricing date to 13970 on the final Ending Averaging Date, and the Exchange Rate of the Index on the final Ending Averaging Date remains flat at 0.13 from the pricing date to the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

13970 × 0.13 = 1816.10

Because the Ending Index Level of 1816.10 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is positive and is equal to 10%.

Example 2: The closing level of the Index remains flat at 12700 from the pricing date to the final Ending Averaging Date, and the Exchange Rate of the Index increases from 0.13 on the pricing date to 0.156 on the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

12700 × 0.156 = 1981.20

Because the Ending Index Level of 1981.20 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is positive and is equal to 20%.

Example 3: The closing level of the Index increases from 12700 on the pricing date to 13970 on the final Ending Averaging Date, and the Exchange Rate of the Index increases from 0.13 on the pricing date to 0.156 on the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

13970 × 0.156 = 2179.32

Because the Ending Index Level of 2179.32 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is positive and is equal to 32%.

Example 4: The closing level of the Index increases from 12700 on the pricing date to 13970 on the final Ending Averaging Date, but the Exchange Rate of the Index decreases from 0.13 on the pricing date to 0.104 on the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level of the Index is equal to:

13970 × 0.104 = 1452.88

Even though the closing level of the Index has increased by 10%, because the Exchange Rate of the Index has decreased by 20%, the Ending Index Level of 1452.88 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1651, and the Index Return is negative and is equal to -12%.

Example 5: The closing level of the Index decreases from 12700 on the pricing date to 11430 on the final Ending Averaging Date, but the Exchange Rate of the Index increases from 0.13 on the pricing date to 0.156 on the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

11430 × 0.156 = 1783.08

Even though the closing level of the Index has decreased by 10%, because the Exchange Rate of the Index has increased by 20%, the Ending Index Level of 1783.08 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1651, and the Index Return is positive and is equal to 8%.

Example 6: The closing level of the Index decreases from 12700 on the pricing date to 11430 on the final Ending Averaging Date, and the Exchange Rate of the Index decreases from 0.13 on the pricing date to 0.104 on the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

11430 × 0.104 = 1188.72

Because the Ending Index Level of 1188.72 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is negative and is equal to -28%.

Example 7: The closing level of the Index remains flat at 12700 from the pricing date to the final Ending Averaging Date, and the Exchange Rate of the Index decreases from 0.13 on the pricing date to 0.104 on the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

12700 × 0.104 = 1320.80

Because the Ending Index Level of 1320.80 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is negative and is equal to -20%.

Example 8: The closing level of the Index decreases from 12700 on the pricing date to 11430 on the final Ending Averaging Date, and the Exchange Rate of the Index remains flat at 0.13 from the pricing date to the final Ending Averaging Date.

The Ending Index Level is equal to:

11430 × 0.13 = 1485.90

Because the Ending Index Level of 1485.90 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1651, the Index Return is negative and is equal to -10%.

Selected Purchase Considerations

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index, the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, or any of the component securities of the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 166-A-I dated June 9, 2009.

Historical Information

The graph below shows the historical weekly performance of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, from January 6, 2006 through May 20, 2011, assuming the spot rates of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar on the relevant dates were the Exchange Rates on such dates. The spot rates used in the following graph and the final graph were determined by dividing one by the rates reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets and may not be indicative of the performance of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, using the spot rates of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar that would be derived from the applicable Reuters page. The Adjusted Closing Level of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index on May 24, 2011 was 1630.52169.

 

The following graph shows the historical weekly performance of the Index from January 6, 2006 through May 20, 2011. The closing level of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index on May 24, 2011 was 12680.99.

The final graph below shows the historical weekly performance of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar expressed in terms of the conventional market quotation (which is the amount of Hong Kong dollars that can be exchanged for one U.S. dollar), as shown on Bloomberg Financial Markets from January 6, 2006 through May 20, 2011. The Exchange Rate of the Hong Kong dollar on May 24, 2011, as shown on Bloomberg Financial Markets, was 7.7765.

The exchange rates displayed in the graph below are for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the calculation of the Index Return. The value of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, and thus the Index Return, assuming no change in the closing levels of the Index, increases when the U.S. dollar weakens relative to the Hong Kong dollar. Therefore, the Index Return is calculated using the Exchange Rate expressed as one divided by the amount of Hong Kong dollar per one U.S. dollar, which is the inverse of the conventional market quotation for the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar set forth in the graph below.

The Exchange Rate of the U.S. dollar relative to the Hong Kong dollar, on May 24, 2011, was 0.12858, calculated in the manner set forth under “Key Terms — Exchange Rate” on the front cover of this term sheet.

We obtained the closing level of the Index and spot rates needed to construct the graphs from Bloomberg Financial Markets, and we obtained the exchange rates used to calculate the Exchange Rate from Reuters Group PLC. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets or Reuters Group PLC. The historical performance of the Index and the Exchange Rate should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index or the Exchange Rate on the pricing date or any Ending Averaging Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index and the Exchange Rate will result in the return of any of your initial investment.
