This document does not provide all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision. You should not invest in the securities without reading the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and related documents for a more detailed description of the underlying ETFs (including historical closing prices of the underlying ETFs), the terms of the securities and certain risks.
About Your Securities |
The amount that you will be paid on your securities is based on the performance of the worst performing of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund, the Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund. The securities may be automatically called on any call observation date.
The return on your securities is linked to the performance of each underlying ETF, and in each case not to that of the index on which such underlying ETF is based.
Your securities will be automatically called if the closing price of each underlying ETF on any call observation date is greater than or equal to its call threshold price, resulting in a payment on the applicable call payment date equal to (i) the principal amount of your securities plus (ii) such principal amount times the call premium amount applicable to such call observation date. No payments will be made after the call payment date.
At maturity, if not previously called, you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities. You will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying ETFs.
The securities are for investors who seek a return of between at least 9.75% and at least 58.50%, depending on if and when the securities are automatically called, in exchange for the risk of losing all or a significant portion of the principal amount of their securities if the securities remain outstanding to maturity.
