For more information on the Index, please see “Selected Purchase Considerations — Return Linked to the S&P GSCI™ Brent Crude Oil Index Excess Return” in this term sheet.

Automatic Call:

If the Index Closing Level on any Review Date is greater than or equal to the Call Level, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment per note that will vary depending on the applicable Review Date and call premium.

Call Level:

100% of the Strike Value, for each Review Date.

Payment if Called:

For every $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive one payment of $1,000 plus the call premium amount calculated as follows:

 

  • at least 5.125%* × $1,000 if called on the first Review Date
  • at least 10.250%* × $1,000 if called on the second Review Date
  • at least 15.375%* × $1,000 if called on the third Review Date
  • at least 20.500%* × $1,000 if called on the final Review Date

 

* The actual call premiums applicable to the first, second, third and final Review Dates will be determined on the pricing date but will not be less than 5.125%, 10.250%, 15.375% and 20.500%, respectively.

Payment at Maturity:

If the notes are not automatically called and the Ending Index Level is less than the Strike Level by up to 10%, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the notes are not automatically called and the Ending Index Level is less than the Strike Level by more than 10%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Strike Value, and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return)
If the notes are not automatically called, you will lose at least 10% of your investment at maturity if the Ending Index Level is less than the Strike Level by more than 10%.

Contingent Buffer Amount:

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable upon Automatic Call or at Maturity

The following table illustrates the hypothetical simple total return (i.e., not compounded) on the notes that could be realized on the applicable Review Date for a range of movements in the Index Closing Level as shown under the column “Index Closing Level Appreciation/Depreciation at Review Date.” The following table assumes a hypothetical Strike Value of 800 and a hypothetical Call Level of 800 (equal to the hypothetical Strike Value) and reflects the Contingent Buffer Amount of 10%. The table assumes that the call premiums used to calculate the call price applicable to the first, second, third and final Review Dates are 5.125%, 10.250%, 15.375% and 20.500%, respectively, regardless of the appreciation of the Index Closing Level, which may be significant; the actual call premiums will be determined on the pricing date. There will be only one payment on the notes whether called or at maturity. An entry of “N/A” indicates that the notes would not be called on the applicable Review Date and no payment would be made for such date. The hypothetical 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 following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The Index Closing Level increases from the Strike Value of 800 to an Index Closing Level of 880 on the first Review Date. Because the Index Closing Level on the first Review Date of 880 is greater than or equal to the corresponding Call Level of 760, the notes are automatically called, and the investor receives a single payment of $1,051.25 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: The Index Closing Level decreases from the Strike Value of 800 to an Index Closing Level of 720 on the first Review Date, 640 on the second Review Date and 560 on the third Review Date and increases from the Strike Value of 800 to an Index Closing Level of 880 on the final Review Date. Although the Index Closing Level on each of the first three Review Dates (720, 640 and 560) is less than the corresponding Call Level of 800, because the Index Closing Level on the final Review Date (880) is greater than the corresponding Call Level of 800, the notes are automatically called, and the investor receives a single payment of $1,205 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The Index Closing Level decreases from the Strike Value of 800 to an Index Closing Level of 720 on the first Review Date, 640 on the second Review Date and 560 on the third Review Date and 760 on the final Review Date. Because (a) the Index Closing Level on the first three Review Dates (720, 640 and 560) is less than the corresponding Call Level of 800, and (b) the Ending Index Level of 760 is not less than the Strike Value by more than 10%, the notes are not automatically called, and the investor receives a single payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 4: The Index Closing Level decreases from the Strike Value of 800 to an Index Closing Level of 720 on the first Review Date, 680 on the second Review Date, 640 on the third Review Date and 600 on the final Review Date. Because (a) the Index Closing Level on each of the Review Dates (720, 680, 640 and 600) is less than the corresponding Call Level of 800, and (b) the Ending Index Level of 600 is less than the Strike Value by more than 10%, the notes are not automatically called and the investor receives a payment at maturity that is less than the principal amount for each $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -25%) = $750

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.
