Insights
Product mixes capped upside with a modest buffer and 1.50x upside exposure.
The notes provide leveraged upside to the S&P 500 Index via a 1.50 Upside Leverage Factor but cap returns at a stated Maximum Return of at least 28.10%, yielding at least $12.81 per $10 at or above the cap. Downside protection is limited to a 10.00% Buffer Amount; losses beyond that scale with a Downside Leverage Factor of 1.11111.
Valuation depends on the issuer’s internal funding rate and models; secondary market liquidity and prices are expected to be lower than the original issue price. Holders should note the notes do not pay interest and are intended to be held to maturity.
Tax treatment is modeled as an "open transaction" prepaid financial contract but is uncertain.
Special tax counsel opines it is reasonable to treat the notes as open transactions not treated as debt, which would generally produce long-term capital gain/loss treatment if held > one year. This treatment is not binding on the IRS or courts.
Section 871(m) considerations are discussed; the issuer expects 871(m) will not apply for Non-U.S. Holders under stated determinations, but the IRS may disagree. Consult a tax adviser.
