If the index finishes above the 118% upper strike threshold, the payout at maturity will be $15.804 per $10 stated principal amount plus an additional return of 1.19263% for each 1% gain above the upper strike value, subject to a maximum payout of par plus 80.7%.

If the index finishes below the upper strike threshold but finishes at or above the 98% middle strike threshold, the payout at maturity will be par plus 2.902% for every 1% that the index finishes above the middle strike value.
