Insights
Structured note offers a fixed contingent coupon but exposes principal to equity downside and early call risk.
The notes pay a 10.15% annual contingent coupon (2.5375% quarterly) if the Reference Stock meets the Interest Barrier on Review Dates. The coupon is conditional and unpaid coupons may only be recovered if a later Review Date meets the Interest Barrier.
Key dependencies are the closing price of Thermo Fisher (TMO) on specified Review Dates, the automatic call feature starting on November 16, 2026, and the issuer/guarantor creditworthiness. Secondary-market liquidity is limited and prices will likely be below original issue price.
Tax treatment is uncertain; issuer treats notes as prepaid forwards with contingent coupons.
The issuer expects to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and contingent interest as ordinary income. The pricing supplement cites counsel (Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP) and notes alternative treatments could be adopted by the IRS or a court.
Non-U.S. holders may face 30% withholding on contingent payments absent certification or treaty claim; Section 871(m) analysis and withholding risks are discussed in the supplement.
