Insights
Product offers leveraged upside to the S&P 500 with a capped gain and a small buffer against losses.
The notes provide an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50 up to a 28.10% cap and a 10.00% buffer that preserves principal for modest declines. The downside applies a 1.11111 multiplier to losses beyond the buffer, translating to amplified principal loss if the index falls materially.
Key dependencies include the closing index levels on the May 15, 2026 pricing date and the May 15, 2028 observation date. Secondary market liquidity and the issuer/guarantor credit spreads will materially influence secondary prices; the notes are unsecured obligations and carry issuer/guarantor credit risk.
Tax treatment is governed by counsel opinion but remains subject to IRS interpretation.
Special tax counsel opines the notes may be treated as open transactions and not debt, which would generally produce long-term capital gain or loss treatment if held > one year. This treatment is an opinion and the IRS or a court may disagree, altering timing and character of income.
Section 871(m) considerations are discussed; the issuer believes withholding should not apply to Non-U.S. Holders given determinations made, but the IRS could reach a different conclusion. Consult a tax adviser for specific circumstances.
