Insights
Notes offer uncapped upside (≥1.00×) with a 65% barrier, exposing holders to full equity downside below that barrier.
The structure pays at maturity: $1,000 plus Fund Return×Upside Leverage Factor if Final Value > Strike Value; principal is returned if Final Value ≥ Barrier; otherwise payment falls in direct proportion to Fund Return. The Upside Leverage Factor is specified as at least 1.00, and the Strike Value is $62.62 (as of February 24, 2026).
Dependencies and risks include the Fund’s closing price on the Observation Date, potential share-adjustment events, and issuer/guarantor credit. Secondary market liquidity is limited and repurchase prices are likely below the original issue price for the notes’ term.
Tax counsel treats the notes as ‘‘open transactions’’ for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to possible Section 1260 and Section 871(m) implications.
Under the stated opinion, gains or losses generally would be long-term capital if held >1 year, but the constructive ownership rules of Section 1260 could recharacterize excess gain as ordinary income with an interest charge. The issuer has not opined definitively on constructive ownership applicability.
The issuer expects Section 871(m) will not apply to these notes for Non-U.S. Holders based on specific determinations, but that position is not binding on the IRS; purchasers should consult their tax advisers.
