Insights
Auto-call structure offers step-up cash returns on early calls but limits upside on later automatic calls.
The notes provide a sequence of increasing Call Values and Call Premiums; if the Index meets a Review Date Call Value, holders receive the stated Call Premium Amount on the corresponding Call Settlement Date. The Participation Rate is 100%, but automatic call payments cap realized upside to the applicable Call Premium Amount rather than the full Index appreciation.
The Index targets 5% volatility with daily leverage adjustments and a 0.50% per annum index deduction, which can leave the Index significantly uninvested under higher realized volatility, reducing upside exposure. Secondary-market liquidity is likely limited and repurchase prices typically trail the original issue price.
Tax treatment: the notes are treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Special tax counsel states investors generally must accrue OID each year using a determined comparable yield of 4.81%, compounded semiannually, and recognize income upon sale, call or maturity. The projected payment schedule implies a single projected payment of $1,395.32 per $1,000 note for tax accrual calculations.
Non-U.S. holders should note the discussion of Section 871(m) and the issuer's determinations; taxpayers should consult advisers for individual treatment.
