How the redemption amount is calculated
The redemption amount payable at maturity will be determined as follows:
| • | If the ending price is greater than the starting price, the redemption amount will be equal to the lesser of: |
| (i) | $1,000 plus |
| $1,000 × | ending price – starting price | × participation rate |
; and | |||||||||||
| starting price |
| (ii) | the capped value |
| • | If the ending price is less than or equal to the starting price, but greater than or equal to the threshold price, the redemption amount will be equal to $1,000 |
| • | If the ending price is less than the threshold price, the redemption amount will be equal to $1,000 minus |
| $1,000 × | threshold price – ending price | |||||
| starting price |
If the ending price is less than the threshold price, you will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the original offering price of your securities at maturity.
