A Buffer equal to 20.00% (Buffer Value $144.20) protects the first 20% of decline; losses beyond that are magnified by a Downside Leverage Factor of 1.25, producing a loss of 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the buffer.

If the Final Value is between the Initial Value and the Buffer Value (80.00% of Initial), holders receive a positive payment equal to the absolute decline.
