Suitability for Investment
The Note Securities are not suitable for all investors. In determining whether the Note Securities are a suitable investment for you please consider that:
- the Note Securities provide no guaranteed Coupon Payments and if the Reference Portfolio Return is lower than the Coupon Payment Threshold on a Coupon Payment Valuation Date, you will receive no Coupon Payment on the related Coupon Payment Date, and you will receive no Coupon Payments over the term of the Note Securities if this occurs on all Coupon Payment Valuation Dates;
- the Note Securities provide no protection for your original principal investment and if (i) the Reference Portfolio Return is lower than the Call Threshold on every Call Valuation Date and is lower than the Barrier on the Final Valuation Date, and (ii) the sum of the resulting Maturity Redemption Payment and the aggregate Coupon Payments paid during the term of the Note Securities is less than the Principal Amount, you will receive an amount which is less than your original principal investment over the term of the Note Securities;
- in a scenario where the Reference Portfolio Return is equal to or higher than the Call Threshold on a Call Valuation Date or positive on the Final Valuation Date, there will be no Variable Return paid if the Reference Portfolio Return on such date is not above the Variable Return Threshold;
- any positive Reference Portfolio Return in excess of the Variable Return Threshold on a Call Valuation Date or on the Final Valuation Date will be multiplied by a Participation Factor which will result in a Holder receiving less than 100% of such excess positive Reference Portfolio Return, if the Participation Factor is less than 100%;
- your Note Securities will be redeemed automatically prior to the Maturity Date if on any Call Valuation Date the Reference Portfolio Return is equal to or higher than the Call Threshold;
- your investment strategy should be consistent with the investment features of the Note Securities;
- your investment time horizon should correspond with the term of the Note Securities; and
- your investment will be subject to the risk factors summarized in the section "Risk Factors" in the Pricing Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus.
Risk Factors
The Note Securities differ from conventional debt and fixed income investments; repayment of the entire Principal Amount is not guaranteed. The Note Securities entail downside risk and are not designed to be alternatives to conventional debt or fixed income investments or money market instruments.
Investing in the Note Securities involves risks that are described under "Risk Factors" in the Pricing Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, including, without limitation, the section therein entitled "Certain Risk Factors related to the Fund Linked Note Securities". Purchasers are urged to read the information about these risks, together with the other information in the Pricing Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, before investing in the Note Securities. Holders who are not prepared to accept the risks described in the Pricing Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus should not invest in the Note Securities.
NOTICE
The Note Securities will not constitute deposits that are insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act or any other deposit insurance regime designed to ensure the payment of all or a portion of a deposit upon insolvency of the deposit taking institution.
Amounts paid to Holders will depend on the performance of the Reference Portfolio. None of the Bank, its affiliates, the Dealers, or any other person or entity guarantees that Holders will receive an amount equal to their original investment in the Note Securities or guarantees that any return will be paid on the Note Securities. Since the Note Securities are not protected and the Principal Amount will be at risk (other than the minimum Maturity Redemption Payment of 1% of the Principal Amount), it is possible that Holders could lose some or substantially all of their original investment in the Note Securities.
For the various risks associated with such an investment, please see the "Risk Factors" section of this document and the "Risk Factors" section in the Pricing Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus. Any prospective investor must be able to bear the risks involved and must meet the suitability requirements of the Note Securities. Please see the section "Suitability of the Note Securities for Investors" in the Pricing Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement.
