3 HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES The following examples show how the Index Return and would be calculated based on certain hypothetical values and assumptions set out below. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Index or the return that an investor might realize on the tes. The Index Return will be calculated based on the price return of the Index, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing or paid on the constituent securities of the Index. Certain dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent. Values for hypothetical calculations: Initial Index Level: Barrier Level: 70.00% of the Initial Index Level = 70.00% x = Autocall Level: % of the Initial Index Level = % x = Example #1 - The tes are not automatically called as the Closing Index Level on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Level. The Index Level on the is equal to or less than the Barrier Level and no Variable Return is payable % % : ( Index Level) % $50.33 per te Since the Index Level (79.10) on the is less than the Barrier Level (110.00), the is calculated as follows: Principal + (Principal x Index Return) $ ($ x %) = $50.33 per te In this example, since the Index Level on the is below the Autocall Level, no Variable Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $50.33 per te on the Maturity, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately % per te. Example #2 - The tes are not automatically called as the Closing Index Level on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Level. The Index Level on the is less than the Autocall Level, but greater than the Barrier Level and no Variable Return is payable % % : ( Index Level) % $ per te Since the Index Level (140.34) on the is less than the Autocall Level (157.16), but greater than the Barrier Level (110.00), the is calculated as follows: Principal = $ per te In this example, since the Index Level on the is below the Autocall Level, no Variable Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te on the Maturity, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of 0.00% per te.

4 Example #3 - The tes are not automatically called as the Closing Index Level on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Level. The Index Level on the is greater than or equal to the Autocall Level and a Variable Return is payable consisting of a Fixed Return only. Additional Return is payable as the Index Return is less than or equal to the Fixed Return % % : ( Index Level) 2.08% $ per te Since the Index Level (160.43) on the is greater than the Autocall Level (157.16), the is calculated as follows: Principal + Variable Return $ ($ x 55.00% + 0) = $ per te In this example, since the Index Return (2.08%) is less than the Fixed Return (55.00%), no Additional Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te on the Maturity, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 9.16% per te. Example #4 - The tes are not automatically called on the 2019 or s as the Closing Index Level is less than the Autocall Level. The tes are automatically called on the as the Closing Index Level is greater than or equal to the Autocall Level and a Variable Return is payable consisting of a Fixed Return and an Additional Return as the Index Return is greater than the Fixed Return. Maturity Redemption : (Autocall) 39.24% $ per te Since the Closing Index Level (218.83) on the is greater than the Autocall Level (157.16), the Maturity Redemption is calculated as follows: Principal + Variable Return $ [$ x [33.00% + (5.00% x (39.24% %))]] = $ per te In this example, since the Index Return (39.24%) is greater than the Fixed Return (33.00%), an Additional Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 10.06% per te.

5 Example #5 -The tes are automatically called on the as the Closing Index Level is greater than or equal to the Autocall Level and a Variable Return is payable consisting of a Fixed Return only. Additional Return is payable as the Index Return is less than the Fixed Return (Autocall) Index Return: 6.00% : $ per te Since the Closing Index Level (166.59) on the is greater than the Autocall Level (157.16), the Maturity Redemption is calculated as follows: Principal + Variable Return $ ($ x 11.00% + 0) = $ per te In this example, since the Index Return (6.00%) is less than the Fixed Return (11.00%), no Additional Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of 11.00% per te. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Index or the return that an investor might realize on the tes. The Index Return will be calculated based on the price return of the Index, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing or paid on the constituent securities of the Index.
