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

The following table illustrates 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 a Strike Value of 780, a Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% and a Maximum Return of 16.40% and reflect the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of 30.00%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

(1) The Index Closing Level is not less than the Strike Value by 30.00% or more on any day during the Monitoring Period.

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: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the level of the Index increases from the Strike Value of 780 to an Ending Index Level of 799.50. Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Index Return of 2.50% is less than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the level of the Index decreases from the Strike Value of 780 to an Ending Index Level of 741. Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Index Return of -5% is less than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the level of the Index increases from the Strike Value of 780 to an Ending Index Level of 897. Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Index Return of 15.00% is greater than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% but less than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 16.40%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 15%) = $1,150

Example 4: A Knock-Out Event has occurred, and the level of the Index decreases from the Strike Value of 780 to an Ending Index Level of 702. Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Index Return is -10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $900 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -10%) = $900

Example 5: A Knock-Out Event has occurred, and the level of the Index increases from the Strike Value of 780 to an Ending Index Level of 897. Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Index Return of 15% is less than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 16.40%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 15%) = $1,150

Example 6: The level of the Index increases from the Strike Value of 780 to an Ending Index Level of 1170. Because the Index Return of 50% is greater than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 16.40%, regardless of whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,164 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

These returns and 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.
