The notes may be called at par plus any contingent coupon due at the issuer’s option on any coupon payment date after six months.
If each index finishes above 65% of its initial level, the payout will be par plus the final coupon unless either index finishes below 65% of its initial level, in which case investors will be lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least performing index.
Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index.
