What are the key risks that are specific to the securities?

Most material risk factors specific to the securities

There are also risks associated with the Securities, including:

1. Risks related to the structure of the securities:

The return on the Securities depends on the performance of the Underlying Reference(s) and whether knock-in or knock out features apply. Auto-callable Products include automatic early redemption mechanisms. Depending on the applicable formula, if an automatic early redemption event occurs investors may be exposed to a partial loss of their investment. Investors may be exposed to a partial or total loss of their investment.

2. Risks related to the underlying and its disruption and adjustments:

Index Securities are linked to the performance of an underlying index (an "Index"), which may reference various asset classes such as, equities, bonds, currency exchange rates or property price data, or could reference a mixture of asset classes. Investors in Index Securities face the risk of a broader set of circumstances that mean that the assets underlying the Index do not perform as expected compared to an investment in conventional debt securities. Accordingly, the return on an investment in Index Securities is more likely to be adversely affected than an investment in conventional debt securities.

Exposure to indices, adjustment events and market disruption or failure to open of an exchange may have an adverse effect on the value and liquidity of the Securities.

3. Risks related to the trading markets of the securities:

The trading price of the Securities may be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the relevant price, value or level of the Underlying Reference(s), the time remaining until the scheduled redemption date of the Securities, the actual or implied volatility associated with the Underlying Reference(s) and the correlation risk of the relevant Underlying Reference(s). The possibility that the value and trading price of the Securities will fluctuate (either positively or negatively) depends on a number of factors, which investors should consider carefully before purchasing or selling Securities.

4. Legal risks:

The terms of the Securities will contain provisions for calling meetings of holders of such Securities to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all holders, including holders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and holders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority.
