About Your Securities |
The amount that you will be paid on your securities on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the S&P 500® Index as measured from the pricing date to and including the valuation date.
If the final index value is greater than or equal to the buffer level, the return on your securities will be positive and equal to the upside payment.
However, if the final index value is less than the buffer level, you will lose approximately 1.1111% of the stated principal amount for every 1% decline in the final index value from the initial index value beyond the buffer amount. You may lose your entire investment in the securities.
The securities are for investors who seek the potential to earn a fixed return of at least 10.00% if the final index value is greater than or equal to the buffer level, are willing to forgo interest payments and are willing to risk losing their entire investment if the final index value is less than the buffer level.
