The following hereby replaces the corresponding sections in “Appendix I: Segment Interim Value — Detailed Descriptions of Specific Inputs to the Calculation — Fair Value of Hypothetical Derivatives”:
In addition to the inputs discussed above, the Fair Value of Hypothetical Derivatives is also affected by the time remaining until the Segment Maturity Date. More information about the designated hypothetical options is set forth below:
| (1) | At-the-Money Call Option: This is an option to buy a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Standard Segment At-the-Money Call Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount in excess of the Segment Investment on the Segment Maturity Date equal to the percentage growth in the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date, multiplied by the Segment Investment. |
| (2) |
Out-of-the-Money Call Option: This is an option to sell a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date increased by a percentage equal to the Performance Cap Rate. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Out-of-the-Money Call Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount in excess of the Segment Investment equal to the percentage growth in the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date in excess of the Performance Cap Rate, multiplied by the Segment Investment. The value of this option is used to offset the value of the At-the-Money Standard Segment Call Option (for Standard Segments), thus recognizing in the Interim Segment Value a ceiling on gains at Segment maturity imposed by the Performance Cap Rate. |
| (3) |
Out-of-the-Money Put Option: This is an option to sell a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date decreased by a percentage equal to the Segment Buffer. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Out-of-the-Money Put Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount equal to the excess of the negative return of the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date beyond the Segment Buffer, multiplied by the Segment Investment. The value of this option reduces the Interim Segment Value, as it reflects losses that may be incurred in excess of the Segment Buffer at Segment maturity. |
For Standard Segments, the Fair Value of Derivatives is equal to (1) minus (2) minus (3), as defined above.
| (1) | At-the-Money Call Option: This is an option to buy a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the At-the-Money Call Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount in excess of the Segment Investment on the Segment Maturity Date equal to the percentage growth in the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date, multiplied by the Segment Investment. |
| (2) |
Out-of-the-Money Call Option: This is an option to buy a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date increased by a percentage equal to the Performance Cap Rate. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Out-of-the-Money Call Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount in excess of the Segment Investment equal to the percentage growth in the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date in excess of the Performance Cap Rate, multiplied by the Segment Investment. The value of this option is used to offset the value of the At-the-Money Call Option, thus recognizing in the Interim Segment Value a ceiling on gains at Segment maturity imposed by the Performance Cap Rate. |
| (3) | At-the-Money Put Option: This is an option to sell a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date. At any time during the Segment |
| IM-63-22 (5.22) | Cat. #164383 ( 5.22) | |
| IE 21 SIO NB/Semi | #349724 |
| Duration, the fair value of the At-the-Money Put Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount equal to the negative return of the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date, multiplied by the Segment Investment. |
| (4) |
Out-of-the-Money Put Option (Dual Direction Segments use two of these options): This is an option to sell a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date decreased by a percentage equal to the Segment Buffer. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Out-of-the-Money Put Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount equal to the excess of the negative return of the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date beyond the Segment Buffer, multiplied by the Segment Investment. The value of one Out-of-the-Money Put option is used to offset the value of the At-the-Money Put Option, and the value of the other Out-of-the-Money Put Option is used to value the potential losses that may be incurred in excess of the Segment Buffer at Segment maturity. |
| (5) |
Out-of-the-Money Binary Put Option: This is a requirement to pay the absolute value of the Segment Buffer multiplied by the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, if the index price is lower than the index price on the Segment Start Date decreased by a percentage equal to the Segment Buffer. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Out-of-the-Money Binary Put Option represents the market value of the potential to receive the absolute value of the Segment Buffer multiplied by the Segment Investment on the Segment Maturity Date. |
For Dual Direction Segments, the Fair Value of Derivatives is equal to (1) minus (2) plus (3) minus (4) minus (5), as defined above.
| (1) | At-the-Money Binary Call Option: This is an option to receive the Performance Cap Rate on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, if the index price is at or higher than the index price on the Segment Start Date. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the At-the-Money Binary Call Option represents the market value of the potential to receive the Performance Cap Rate on the Segment Maturity Date, multiplied by the Segment Investment. |
| (2) |
Out-of-the-Money Put Option: This is an option to sell a position in the relevant Index equal to the Segment Investment on the scheduled Segment Maturity Date, at the price of the Index on the Segment Start Date decreased by a percentage equal to the Segment Buffer. At any time during the Segment Duration, the fair value of the Out-of-the-Money Put Option represents the market value of the potential to receive an amount equal to the excess of the negative return of the Index between the Segment Start Date and the Segment Maturity Date beyond the Segment Buffer, multiplied by the Segment Investment. The value of this option reduces the Interim Segment Value, as it reflects losses that may be incurred in excess of the Segment Buffer at Segment maturity. |
For Step Up Segments, the Fair Value of Derivatives is equal to (1) minus (2), as defined above.
