If Merck stock closes at or above the coupon barrier level – 77.4% of the initial price – on any monthly observation date, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 6.5% for that month.
If the shares close at or above the initial price on any monthly observation date after one year, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon.
