Capped Single Observation Index Fund Knock-Out Notes Linked to the iShares® MSCI Brazil Index Fund due October 3, 2012

General

Key Terms

Index Fund:

The iShares® MSCI Brazil Index Fund (the “Index Fund”)

Knock-Out Event:

A Knock-Out Event occurs if the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Observation Date (i.e., the Final Share Price) is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the notes are subject to monitoring on a single Monitoring Day (i.e., the Observation Date).

Knock-Out Buffer Amount:

25.00%

Payment at Maturity:

If a Knock-Out Event has occurred, you will receive a cash payment at maturity that will reflect the performance of the Index Fund, subject to the Maximum Return. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Share Return), subject to the Maximum Return

 

 

If a Knock-Out Event has occurred, you will lose more than 25.00% of your initial investment and may lose all of your initial investment at maturity.

 

If a Knock-Out Event has not occurred, you will receive a cash payment at maturity that will reflect the performance of the Index Fund, subject to the Contingent Minimum Return and the Maximum Return. If a Knock-Out Event has not occurred, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will equal $1,000 plus the product of (a) $1,000 and (b) the greater of (i) the Contingent Minimum Return and (ii) the Share Return, subject to the Maximum Return. For additional clarification, please see “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index Fund?” in this term sheet.

Maximum Return:

At least 21.50%. The actual Maximum Return and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 21.50% and $1,215 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively.

Contingent Minimum Return:

At least 10.00%. The actual Contingent Minimum Return will be determined on the pricing date and will not be less than 10.00%.

Share Return:

Final Share Price – Initial Share Price
                Initial Share Price

Initial Share Price:

The closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the pricing date, divided by the Share Adjustment Factor

Final Share Price:

The closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Observation Date

Share Adjustment Factor:

Set initially at 1.0 on the pricing date and subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. See “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 182-A-I for further information.

Observation Date:

September 28, 2012

Maturity Date:

October 3, 2012

CUSIP:

48125X2C9

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

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 an Initial Share Price of $60.00, a Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% and a Maximum Return of 21.50% and reflect the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of 25.00%. 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.

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 closing price of one share of the Index Fund increases from the Initial Share Price of $60.00 to a Final Share Price of $61.50 a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Share 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: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund decreases from the Initial Share Price of $60.00 to a Final Share Price of $57.00 — a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Share 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: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund increases from the Initial Share Price of $60.00 to a Final Share Price of $69.00 a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Share Return of 15% is greater than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% but less than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 21.50%, 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: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund decreases from the Initial Share Price of $60.00 to a Final Share Price of $36.00 a Knock-Out Event has occurred. Because the Final Share Price of $36.00 is less than the Initial Share

Price of $60.00 by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of 25.00%, a Knock-Out Event has occurred and because the Share Return is -40%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $600 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -40%) = $600

Example 5: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund increases from the Initial Share Price of $60.00 to a Final Share Price of $90.00 a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Share Return of 50% is greater than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 21.50%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,215 per $1,000 principal amount note, the hypothetical maximum payment on the notes.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical 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 returns and hypothetical payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Purchase Considerations

Selected Risk Considerations
