Risk of Loss at Maturity: Any payment on the Securities at maturity depends on the Percentage Change of the Reference Asset. If the Securities
are not automatically called, the Bank will only repay you the full Principal Amount of your Securities if the Percentage Change does not reflect a decrease in the Reference Asset of more than 10.00%. If the Percentage Change is
negative by more than 10.00%, meaning the Ending Level is less than the Threshold Level, you will lose a significant portion of your initial investment in an amount equal to the Percentage Change in excess of the Threshold Percentage.
Accordingly, if the Securities are not automatically called, you may lose up to 90% of your investment in the Securities if the percentage decline from the Starting Level to the Ending Level is greater than 10.00%.
