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

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 $37.00, a Contingent Minimum Return of 12.15% and a Maximum Return of 30.00% 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.

(1) The closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is greater than or equal to $27.75 (75.00% of the hypothetical Initial Share Price) on each day during the Monitoring Period.
(2) The closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is less than $27.75 (75.00% of the hypothetical Initial Share Price) on at least one 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 closing price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Share Price of $37.00 to a Final Share Price of $37.925. Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Share Return of 2.50% is less than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 12.15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,121.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Share Price of $37.00 to a Final Share Price of $35.15. Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Share Return of -5% is less than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 12.15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,121.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Share Price of $37.00 to a Final Share Price of $42.55. Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Share Return of 15% is greater than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 12.15% but less than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 30.00%, 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 closing price of one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Share Price of $37.00 to a Final Share Price of $33.30. Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Share 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 closing price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Share Price of $37.00 to a Final Share Price of $42.55. Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Share Return of 15% is less than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 30.00%, 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 closing price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Share Price of $37.00 to a Final Share Price of $55.50. Because the Share Return of 50% is greater than the hypothetical Maximum Return of 30.00%, regardless of whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,300 per $1,000 principal amount note, the hypothetical 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.
