Insights
Product pays high contingent coupon but principal at risk if the least performing Fund falls below a 35% buffer.
The notes offer a 14.00% annual contingent coupon payable monthly when all three Funds clear an 65.00% Interest Barrier on Review Dates. The structure is auto‑callable beginning on October 28, 2026, which can shorten term and cap upside to received coupons plus principal.
Downside exposure multiplies losses by the Downside Leverage Factor (1.53846) if the Least Performing Fund finishes more than 35.00% below its Strike Value; final payout formula is explicit in the terms.
Tax treatment is uncertain; issuer treats notes as prepaid forwards with contingent coupons.
The pricing supplement states the issuer will treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts and Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, but other reasonable treatments may exist and Treasury/IRS guidance could change outcomes.
Non‑U.S. Holder withholding risk is noted, including possible application of Section 871(m); withholding and treaty relief depend on proper documentation.
