MATURITY REDEMPTION AMOUNT

Holders of record on the applicable Record Date will be entitled to an amount payable on the Notes if they are automatically called by the Bank or at maturity (in each case, the “Maturity Redemption Amount”) as calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the applicable formula below:


           If the Closing Unit Price on an Autocall Valuation Date or the Final Valuation Date is greater than or equal to the Autocall Price, the Maturity Redemption Amount will equal:

Principal Amount

i            If the Final Unit Price on the Final Valuation Date is less than the Autocall Price but greater than the Barrier Price, the Maturity Redemption Amount will equal:

Principal Amount

          If the Final Unit Price on the Final Valuation Date is equal to or less than the Barrier Price, the Maturity Redemption Amount will equal:

Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Price Return)

Where:

Autocall Price: 110.00% of the Initial Unit Price;

Barrier Price: 70.00% of the Initial Unit Price;

The return on the Notes will not reflect the total return that an investor would receive if such investor owned the Reference Unit or the securities included in the Reference ETF.

The Maturity Redemption Amount will be substantially less than the Principal Amount invested by an investor if the Final Unit Price on the Final Valuation Date is equal to or less than the Barrier Price. The Maturity Redemption Amount will be subject to a minimum principal repayment of US$1.00 per Note.
