If the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than or equal to 130% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 64.5%.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than or equal to 115% but less than 130% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be 115% of par plus 330% of the amount by which the lesser-performing index’s return exceeds 15%.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than or equal to 105% but less than 115% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the return of the lesser-performing index.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than or equal to 90% but less than 105% of its initial level, the payout will be par plus 33% of the amount by which the lesser-performing index’s final level is greater than 90% of its initial level.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is less than its initial level by more than 10% but not more than 30%, the payout will be par.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is less than its initial level by more than 30%, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index declines beyond 30%.
