Insights
Structured notes offer leveraged upside with a barrier exposing principal to market declines.
The notes use an unequally weighted Basket (65% S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index), an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 2.27, and a Barrier Amount equal to 80.00% of the Strike Basket Value set at 100.00 on April 24, 2026. If the Final Basket Value exceeds the Strike Basket Value, payoff equals $1,000 + $1,000 × Basket Return × Upside Leverage Factor.
Key dependencies include index performance, futures roll/negative roll returns, and issuer/guarantor credit. Secondary market liquidity and estimated value differences versus original issue price are meaningful; the estimated value floor was noted at $950.00 per $1,000 note.
Tax treatment may be as "open transactions" but uncertainty remains due to regulatory guidance.
Special tax counsel expects the notes may be treated as open transactions not as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, potentially producing long-term capital gain treatment if held > one year. This conclusion is contingent on future IRS or Treasury guidance.
Section 871(m) analysis was performed and the issuer expects that withholding will not apply to these notes for Non-U.S. Holders, subject to final IRS positions; investors should consult their tax advisers.
