Insights
Product combines capped upside with a 10% buffered downside and a 1.25x upside multiplier.
The notes pay at maturity based on the S&P 500® Index performance: gains are multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.25 but capped at a Maximum Upside Return of 17.30%. If the Index declines up to 10.00%, investors receive the absolute decline as a positive return; declines beyond 10.00% reduce principal dollar-for-dollar beyond that buffer.
Key quantifiers from the pricing supplement: $1,000 denomination, $828,000 total offering, estimated value $964.90 per note, pricing date February 27, 2026, settlement on or about March 4, 2026, observation date February 28, 2028, maturity March 2, 2028. Secondary market liquidity is limited and repurchase pricing may be below original issue price.
Tax treatment is uncertain; counsel treats the notes as open transactions but IRS may disagree.
Special tax counsel states it is reasonable to treat the notes as "open transactions" that are not debt instruments, which would yield long-term capital gain/loss treatment for holdings over one year. The pricing supplement notes the IRS could reach a different conclusion and references prior Treasury notice on prepaid forwards.
Section 871(m) analysis in the supplement concludes that, based on issuer determinations, withholding under Section 871(m) should not apply to Non-U.S. Holders for these notes; that determination is not binding on the IRS. Investors should consult tax advisers for their circumstances.
