Insights
Auto-callable, leveraged upside versus a hard downside tied to the lesser performer.
The notes combine an automatic call feature with an upside leverage factor of 1.50 and a 50.00% barrier. If not called, positive lesser-performing returns are amplified; if the lesser performer closes below the barrier at maturity, investors suffer pro-rata principal losses, potentially to zero.
Key dependencies are the closing prices of AVGO and MRVL on Review Dates (Apr 28, 2027, Apr 28, 2028, Apr 30, 2029) and issuer/guarantor creditworthiness. Secondary-market liquidity and early-exit pricing will depend on dealer willingness to quote and internal funding rates.
Tax treatment is treated as an "open transaction" by issuer counsel but carries IRS uncertainty.
Special tax counsel opines the notes should be treated as prepaid financial contracts, producing long-term capital gain or loss if held over one year. This opinion is not binding on the IRS; adverse guidance could change timing or character of income, or impose accrual rules.
Section 871(m) was considered and, based on issuer determinations, the Notes should not be subject to withholding for Non-U.S. Holders, but the IRS could disagree. Consult a tax adviser for personal circumstances.
