Insights
Auto-call structure trades yield potential for early exit but caps upside at calls.
The notes combine a step-up automatic-call feature with a 100.00% participation in the Index return at maturity if not called. The automatic-call schedule provides cash payments per $1,000 plus stipulated Call Premium Amounts on each Call Settlement Date.
The product’s investor payoff depends on Index pathing relative to progressively increasing Call Values and is exposed to issuer/guarantor credit risk, the Index’s 1.00% daily deduction and limited secondary-market liquidity. Subsequent pricing and the final Initial Value will determine ultimate economics; the pricing supplement provides the definitive figures.
Notes are treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax.
Special tax counsel views the notes as contingent payment debt instruments, requiring holders to accrue original issue discount using a comparable yield determined by the issuer. This affects annual taxable interest inclusion despite no periodic cash interest payments.
Section 871(m) considerations are addressed; issuer expects that withholding will not apply to Non-U.S. Holders based on its determinations but the IRS could disagree. Consult a tax adviser for individual treatment.
