Example 1, for a Reference Portfolio Level of 1,400 (representing a 40% return if the Initial Portfolio Level is 1,000) after three years, the Note Security could theoretically be worth $142.98. This is a 50.51% return on the Initial NAV of $95.00. In comparison, if the investors had invested $95.00 in the Reference Portfolio directly, their investment would be worth $133.00. The amount of $142.98 represents an “accelerated” return of 26.26%, as the Note Security would theoretically be worth an extra $9.98 compared to a direct investment in the Reference Portfolio. A Holder would not receive the full 50% acceleration if the Note Security was to be sold at that point as the Note Securities have not yet reached maturity.
The chart above serves to illustrate the potential theoretical fluctuation of the price of the Notes relative to the Reference Portfolio Level and the time remaining to maturity. This illustration is based on the assumption that all other factors remain constant, including interest rates and volatility. As a result, the chart is not and should not be construed as a forecast or projection of how the Note Securities may trade in any secondary market that may develop. Actual prices will differ, and such difference may be substantial, when taking into account all relevant factors, including the level of interest rates and volatility. The first column represents different levels of the Reference Portfolio while the first row represents a time line from the first year up to the Maturity Date.
