The Toronto-Dominion Bank
Senior Debt Securities, Series E
Principal at Risk Securities
Linked to One or More Indices, Exchange-Traded Funds or Equity Securities
GENERAL TERMS
The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”) may, from time to time, offer and sell securities linked to one or more equity indices (each, an “Index” and collectively, the “Indices”), exchange-traded funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) or common equity securities or American depositary shares (“ADSs”) of a company not affiliated with us (each, an “Underlying Stock” and collectively, the “Underlying Stocks”), or any combination thereof. The Indices, Funds and Underlying Stocks are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Market Measures” and individually as a “Market Measure.” Market-linked securities, such as the securities described in this product supplement, are principal-at-risk securities, which means that you may receive less than the original public offering price of the securities (the “original offering price”) at maturity, depending on the performance of one or more Market Measures. We refer to all securities offered under this product supplement as the “securities.”
The securities are senior debt securities of The Toronto-Dominion Bank as referenced in the accompanying prospectus. Any payments due on the securities, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to credit risk of the Bank. If the Bank were to default on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment.
This prospectus supplement, which we refer to as a “product supplement,” describes some of the general terms that may apply to the securities. This product supplement supplements the disclosure in any pricing supplement that may reference it and/or the accompanying prospectus, as applicable. A separate pricing supplement will describe terms that apply to specific issuances of the securities and may include changes to the terms specified in this product supplement. If the disclosure in the relevant pricing supplement is inconsistent with the disclosure in this product supplement or the accompanying prospectus, the disclosure in the relevant pricing supplement will control.
You should carefully review the specific terms of the securities described in the applicable pricing supplement together with the information contained in this product supplement and the accompanying prospectus before investing in the securities.
The securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. You are subject to a risk to all or a portion of your investment in the securities, as described in more detail below.
The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.
TD Securities (USA) LLC. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”) will be the agents for the distribution of the securities (the “Agents”). The calculation agent will be the Bank.
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this product supplement. In addition, see the applicable pricing supplement, which will describe more specifically the risks relating to the particular issuance of securities as well as the risks associated with the particular Market Measure(s) to which your securities are linked.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this product supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The Bank may use this product supplement in the initial sale of securities. In addition, TD Securities (USA) LLC, Wells Fargo Securities or another of the Bank’s affiliates may use this product supplement in a market-making transaction in securities after their initial sale. Unless the Bank or its agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this product supplement is being used in a market-making transaction.
The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated deposit liability obligations of the Bank and will rank on a parity in right of payment with all of the Bank’s deposit liabilities, except for obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law. The securities will not constitute deposits insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada) or by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other Canadian or U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality.

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under “Risk Factors” in this product supplement and the applicable pricing supplement, as the securities have complex features and involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the securities.
Defined terms used in this product supplement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the accompanying prospectus.
You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or provided in this product supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the applicable pricing supplement and/or other supplement(s).

SUMMARY
Below is a summary of some of the key terms used throughout this product supplement. The applicable pricing supplement may use another term to describe the same feature, some of which are identified below.
General:
The securities are senior debt securities of the Bank. Any payments due on the securities, including any repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of the Bank. If the Bank were to default on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment.
Maturity
Payment
Amount:
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of one or more:
         equity indices (each, an “Index” and collectively, the “Indices”);
         exchange-traded funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”);
      common equity securities or American depositary shares of a company not affiliated with us (each, an “Underlying Stock” and collectively, the “Underlying Stocks”); or
         any combination of the foregoing,
as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Accordingly, you could lose some or all of your investment.
In this product supplement, we sometimes refer to the Indices, Funds and Underlying Stocks to which your securities may be linked collectively as the “Market Measures” and individually as a “Market Measure.” The index underlying a Fund is sometimes referred to as a “fund underlying index.” We refer to the issuer of an Underlying Stock as an “Underlying Stock Issuer.”
The applicable pricing supplement may also refer to a Market Measure as an “Underlier” or an “Underlying.” In addition, if the securities are linked to a weighted basket composed of two or more Market Measures, the applicable pricing supplement may refer to each Market Measure as a “basket component.” The securities may also be linked to the worst performing or best performing of two or more Market Measures, as described in the accompanying pricing supplement.
You should carefully read the applicable pricing supplement to understand the circumstances in which the performance of the relevant Market Measure(s) will cause you to receive less than the face amount at stated maturity, if anything.
Coupon:
The securities will not pay a coupon unless the applicable pricing supplement specifically provides otherwise. If the applicable pricing supplement provides for the payment of a coupon, the coupon rate and the coupon payment date(s) will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement.
Face Amount and
Original Offering
Price:
The face amount of each security and the original offering price of each security will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement.
Pricing Date:
We refer to the date on which a particular issuance of securities is priced for initial sale to the public as the “pricing date.” The applicable pricing supplement may also refer to the pricing date as the “trade date.”
Calculation
Day(s):
 
We refer to each date on which the value of any Market Measure is to be referenced in the determination of any payment on the securities as a “calculation day.” If there is a single calculation day for the securities, references to the “final calculation day” herein mean such calculation day.
The applicable pricing supplement may also refer to a calculation day as a “valuation date,” an “observation date,” a “determination date” or such other term as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. The calculation day(s) will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement and will be subject to postponement due to non-trading days and market disruption events. See “General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event;

PS-3


 
Postponement of a Calculation Day.”
Payment Date(s):
 
The relevant pricing supplement will specify the stated maturity date and any other date on which amounts will or may be payable on the securities (each referred to as a “payment date”). Each payment date is subject to postponement as described under “General Terms of the Securities—Payment Dates.”
Closing Value:
When we refer to the “closing value” of a Market Measure herein we mean, on any date of determination, (i) with respect to an Index, its closing level (as defined herein) on that day; (ii) with respect to a Fund, its fund closing price (as defined herein) on that day; and (iii) with respect to an Underlying Stock, its stock closing price (as defined herein) on that day.
Calculation
Agent:
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the Bank.
No Listing:
The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.
Material Tax
Consequences:
For a discussion of the material U.S. and Canadian federal income and certain estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences.”

PS-4

RISK FACTORS
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in the applicable pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents they incorporate by reference. The risk factors set forth below describe certain significant risks associated with an investment in the securities. You should read these risk factors together with the risk factors included in the applicable pricing supplement, which will describe more specifically the risks relating to the particular issuance of securities as well as the risks associated with the particular Market Measure(s) to which your securities are linked. As described in more detail below, the value of the securities may vary considerably before the stated maturity date due to events that are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.
General Risk Factors Relating To Return Characteristics And All Market Measures
The Securities Are Not Ordinary Debt Securities.
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the relevant Market Measure(s) and other terms of the securities, as described in the applicable pricing supplement. You should carefully read the applicable pricing supplement to understand the circumstances in which the performance of the Market Measure(s) will cause you to receive less than the face amount of your securities at maturity. Depending on the particular terms of the securities, you may lose up to all of the face amount of your securities. You should not invest in the securities if you are unable or unwilling to the bear the risk of losing a significant portion or all of the face amount of your securities at maturity.
In addition, and unless otherwise noted in the applicable pricing supplement, the securities will not provide for interest or coupon payments prior to maturity. Even if the securities do provide for periodic interest or coupon payments, such payment(s) may be contingent upon the performance of the relevant Market Measure(s) as determined on one or more specified dates during the term of the securities. If the securities do not provide for fixed interest or coupon payments prior to maturity, as will be described in the applicable pricing supplement, you should not invest in the securities unless you are willing to forgo such payments.
Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In Any Market Measure.
Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any Market Measure. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held any Underlying Stock, the shares of any Fund or the securities included in any Index for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those shares or securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights as would holders of an Underlying Stock, a Fund or the securities included in an Index.
Historical Values Of A Market Measure Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of Such Market Measure During The Term Of The Securities.
It is impossible to predict whether the value of a Market Measure will fall or rise. The value of a Market Measure will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect such Market Measure. Accordingly, any historical values of a Market Measure do not provide an indication of the future performance of such Market Measure.
A Payment Date And The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If A Calculation Day Is Postponed.
A calculation day is subject to postponement for non-trading days and market disruption events as described under “General Terms of the Securities” below. If such a postponement occurs with respect to a calculation day other than the final calculation day (if any), then the related payment date will be postponed. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the final calculation day, the stated maturity date will be the later of (i) the initial stated maturity date and (ii) three business days after the last final calculation day as postponed.
The Securities Are Subject To Market Risk.
The return on the securities will be directly linked to the performance of the Market Measure(s) and, in the case of a Market Measure that is an Index or a Fund, to the components of such Market Measure. The return on the securities will depend on level or price of the Market Measure(s) on specified dates of determination, as will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement. The level of a Market Measure or its components can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the Market Measure or its components, as well as general market factors, such as general market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. Recently, the coronavirus infection has caused volatility in the global financial markets and a slowdown in the global economy. Coronavirus or any other communicable disease or infection may adversely affect the applicable Market Measure and/or its components and, therefore, the market value of, and return on, the securities. We urge you to review financial and other information relating to each Market Measure and/or its components.

PS-5

Risks Relating To Estimated Value And Liquidity
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Expected To Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of your securities, which will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, is expected to be less than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Will Be Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your securities, which will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, will be determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the securities at any time.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities Will Be Based On Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove To Be Inaccurate And May Be Different From The Pricing Models Of Other Financial Institutions.
The estimated value of your securities, which will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, will be based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on the pricing date, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of the securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Will Not Be A Prediction Of The Prices At Which You May Sell Your Securities In The Secondary Market, If Any, And Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities And May Be Less Than The Estimated Value Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of the securities, which will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, will not be a prediction of the prices at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the secondary market at any time, if any, may be based on pricing models that differ from our pricing models and will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be less than the original offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price At Which We May Initially Buy The Securities In The Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative Of Future Prices Of Your Securities.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, on applicable pricing supplement, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if the Agents make a market in the securities, which they are not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the pricing date of the securities, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. The price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.

PS-6

The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the securities will likely be less than the original offering price. The original offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the agent discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction. In addition, because an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities is to conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that affiliate may profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation that the dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the dealer to sell the securities to you in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the securities.
There May Not Be An Active Trading Market For The Securities — Sales In The Secondary Market May Result In Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any electronic communications network. The Agents and their respective affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, they are not required to do so. The Agents and their respective affiliates may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the securities develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your securities in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your securities before the maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the face amount irrespective of the level of the Market Measure, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest
Trading And Business Activities By The Bank Or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of, And Any Amount Payable On, The Securities.
We, the Agents and our respective affiliates may hedge our obligations under the securities by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the level of an Underlying Stock, an Index, a Fund or one or more securities included in an Index or held by a Fund, as the context requires, and we may adjust these hedges by, among other things, purchasing or selling any of the foregoing at any time. It is possible that we or one or more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the market value of the securities declines. We or one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of an Underlying Stock, an Index, a Fund or one or more securities included in an Index or held by a Fund (as applicable).
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the securities and the interests we and our affiliates will have in our or their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for our or their customers’ accounts and in accounts under our or their management. These trading activities could be adverse to the interests of the holders of the securities.
We, the Agents and our respective affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with one or more of the issuers of an Underlying Stock, a Fund or one or more securities included in an Index or held by a Fund (as the context requires) including making loans to or providing advisory services to those companies. These services could include investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These business activities may present a conflict between our, the Agents’ and our affiliates’ obligations, and your interests as a holder of the securities. Moreover, we, the Agents or our affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to an Underlying Stock, an Index, a Fund or one or more securities included in an Index or held by a Fund. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any of these activities by us or one or more of our affiliates or the Agents or their affiliates may adversely affect the value of an Underlying Stock, an Index, a Fund or one or more securities included in an Index or held by a Fund and, therefore, the market value of, and any amount payable on, the securities.
There Are Potential Conflicts Of Interest Between You And The Calculation Agent.
The calculation agent will, among other things, determine the amount payable on the securities. We will serve as the calculation agent and may appoint a different calculation agent after the issue date specified in the applicable pricing supplement without notice to you. The calculation agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions. For example, the calculation agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting a Market Measure has occurred which may, in turn, depend on the calculation agent’s judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability or the ability of one of our affiliates to unwind our hedge positions. Because this determination by the calculation agent may affect the amount payable on the securities, the calculation agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the calculation agent’s role, see “General Terms of the Securities — Calculation and Calculation Agent” below.

PS-7

Additional Risk Factors Relating To Securities Linked To An Index
Changes That Affect An Index May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities And Any Payments On The Securities.
The policies of a sponsor or publisher of an Index (each, an “index sponsor”) concerning the calculation of the relevant Index and the addition, deletion or substitution of securities comprising such Index and the manner in which an index sponsor takes account of certain changes affecting such securities may adversely affect the value of such Index and, therefore, may adversely affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. An index sponsor may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the relevant Index or materially alter the methodology by which it calculates such Index. Any such actions could adversely affect the value of the securities.
We Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In Any Index.
Actions by any company whose securities are included in any Index to which your securities are linked may have an adverse effect on the price of its security, the closing level of such Index on any calculation day and the value of the securities. Unless otherwise disclosed in any applicable market measure supplement or in the applicable pricing supplement, none of the Bank, the Agents or any of our or their respective affiliates will be affiliated with any of the companies whose securities are included in any Index. These unaffiliated companies will not be involved in the offering of the securities and will have no obligations with respect to the securities, including any obligation to take our or your interests into consideration for any reason. These companies will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the securities and will not be responsible for, and will not have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the securities to be issued. These companies will not be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the securities and will have no obligations with respect to any amounts to be paid to you on the securities.
We And Our Affiliates And The Agents And Their Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Index Sponsor And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.
We, the Agents and our respective affiliates are not affiliated in any way with any index sponsor and have no ability to control or predict their actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of disclosure regarding the methods or policies relating to the calculation of the applicable Index. We will derive the information about any Index and its index sponsor contained in the applicable pricing supplement from publicly available information, without independent verification. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into any applicable Index and its index sponsor. No index sponsor will be involved in the offering of the securities in any way nor will have any obligation to consider your interests as an owner of the securities in taking any actions that might affect the value of the securities.
Additional Risk Factors Relating To Securities Linked To A Fund
Changes That Affect A Fund Or Its Fund Underlying Index May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities And Any Payments On The Securities.
The policies of the sponsor of a Fund (a “fund sponsor”) concerning the calculation of such Fund’s net asset value, additions, deletions or substitutions of securities in such Fund and the manner in which changes in its fund underlying index are reflected in such Fund, and changes in those policies, could affect the closing price of the shares of such Fund and, therefore, may adversely affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. Similarly, the policies of the sponsor of a fund underlying index (a “fund underlying index sponsor”) concerning the calculation of such fund underlying index and the addition, deletion or substitution of securities comprising such fund underlying index and the manner in which such fund underlying index sponsor takes account of certain changes affecting such securities may adversely affect the level of such fund underlying index and the closing price of the shares of the related Fund and, therefore, may adversely affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. A fund underlying index sponsor may also discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of such fund underlying index or materially alter the methodology by which it calculates such fund underlying index. Any such actions could adversely affect the value of the securities.
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In A Fund Or Its Fund Underlying Index.
Actions by any company whose securities are included in a Fund or in its fund underlying index may have an adverse effect on the price of its security, the fund closing price of such Fund on any calculation day and the value of the securities. Unless otherwise disclosed in any applicable market measure supplement or in the applicable pricing supplement, none of the Bank, the Agents or our or their respective affiliates will be affiliated with any of the companies whose security is represented in any Fund or its fund underlying index. These unaffiliated companies will not be involved in the offering of the securities and will have no obligations with respect to the securities, including any obligation to take our or your interests into consideration for any reason. These companies will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the securities and will not be responsible for, and will not have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the securities to be issued. These companies will not be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the securities and will have no obligations with respect to any amounts to be paid to you on the securities.

PS-8

We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Fund Sponsor Or Fund Underlying Index Sponsor And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.
We and our affiliates are not affiliated in any way with any fund sponsor or fund underlying index sponsor (collectively, the “sponsors”) and have no ability to control or predict their actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of disclosure regarding their methods or policies relating to the management or calculation of the applicable Fund or its fund underlying index. We have derived the information about any Fund, its fund underlying index and the related sponsors contained in any applicable pricing supplement from publicly available information, without independent verification. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into any applicable Fund, its fund underlying index and the sponsors. The sponsors are not involved in the offering of the securities made hereby in any way and have no obligation to consider your interests as an owner of the securities in taking any actions that might affect the value of the securities.
An Investment Linked To The Shares Of A Fund Is Different From An Investment Linked To Its Fund Underlying Index.
The performance of the shares of a Fund may not exactly replicate the performance of the related fund underlying index because such Fund may not invest in all of the securities included in the related fund underlying index and because such Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the related fund underlying index. A Fund may also hold securities or derivative financial instruments not included in the related fund underlying index. It is also possible that a Fund may not fully replicate the performance of its fund underlying index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances. In addition, because the shares of a Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the value of a share of a Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of such Fund. As a result, the performance of a Fund may not correlate perfectly with the performance of the related fund underlying index, and the return on the securities based on the performance of a Fund will not be the same as the return on securities based on the performance of the related fund underlying index.
There Are Management And Liquidity Risks Associated With A Fund.
Although the shares of any Fund to which your securities are linked will be listed for trading on a United States securities exchange and a number of similar products have been traded on such securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of any Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.
In addition, a Fund will be subject to management risk, which is the risk that a fund sponsor’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. For example, a fund sponsor may elect to invest certain of its assets in shares of equity securities that are not included in the related fund underlying index. A Fund, unless otherwise noted in the applicable pricing supplement, will also not be actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments relating to its fund underlying index. Further, a fund sponsor may invest in securities included in, or representative of, the applicable fund underlying index regardless of their investment merits, and a fund sponsor will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets.
Further, under continuous listing standards adopted by the relevant securities exchange, a Fund will be required to confirm on an ongoing basis that the securities included in its fund underlying index satisfy the applicable listing requirements. In the event that a fund underlying index does not comply with the applicable listing requirements, the applicable Fund would be required to rectify such non-compliance by requesting that the relevant fund underlying index sponsor modify the relevant fund underlying index, transitioning to a new fund underlying index or obtaining relief from the SEC. There can be no assurance that a fund underlying index sponsor would modify the relevant fund underlying index or that relief would be obtained from the SEC and, therefore, non-compliance with the continuous listing standards may result in a Fund being delisted. If a Fund were delisted, the calculation agent would select a successor fund or, if no successor fund is available, would determine the fund closing price of such Fund on any date of determination.
These risks may adversely affect the price of the shares of any applicable Fund and, consequently, the value of the securities.
Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To The Shares Of A Fund Do Not Address Every Event That Could Affect Such Shares.
An adjustment factor, as described herein, will be used to determine the fund closing prices of a Fund. The adjustment factor for a Fund will be adjusted by the calculation agent for certain events affecting the shares of such Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect such shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, the value of the securities may be adversely affected.

Additional Risk Factors Relating to Securities Linked to An Underlying Stock
The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than An Original Underlying Stock Issuer.
Following certain corporate events relating to an Underlying Stock, such as a stock-for-stock merger where the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer is not the surviving entity, the shares of a successor corporation to such Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for such Underlying Stock for all purposes of the securities. Following certain other corporate events relating to an Underlying Stock in which holders of such Underlying Stock would receive all of their consideration in cash and the surviving entity has no marketable securities outstanding or there is no surviving entity (including, but not limited to, a leveraged buyout or other going private transaction involving such Underlying Stock Issuer, or a liquidation of such Underlying Stock Issuer), the common stock of another company in the same industry group as such Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for such Underlying Stock for all purposes of the securities. Such substitution may also occur if an Underlying Stock consists of ADSs and such ADSs are delisted or the applicable ADS facility is terminated. In any such event, the equity-linked nature of the securities would be significantly altered. We describe the specific events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting a replacement stock in the section entitled “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events.” The occurrence of such events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities.
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Cannot Control Actions By An Underlying Stock Issuer.
Actions by an Underlying Stock Issuer may have an adverse effect on the price of such Underlying Stock, the stock closing price of such Underlying Stock on any calculation day and the value of the securities. None of the Bank, the Agents or our or their respective affiliates are affiliated with any Underlying Stock Issuer. No Underlying Stock Issuer will be involved in the offering of the securities nor will any Underlying Stock Issuer have any obligations with respect to the securities, including any obligation to take our interests or your interests into consideration for any reason. No Underlying Stock Issuer will receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the securities nor will be responsible for, or will have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the securities to be issued. No Underlying Stock Issuer will be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the securities nor will have any obligations with respect to any amounts payable on the securities.
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.
We, the Agents and our respective affiliates are not affiliated in any way with any Underlying Stock Issuer. This product supplement and any applicable pricing supplement relates only to the securities and do not relate to any Underlying Stock. The material provided in this product supplement and any applicable pricing supplement concerning an Underlying Stock Issuer is and will be derived from publicly available documents without independent verification. None of the Bank, the Agents or any of our or their respective affiliates have or will have participated in the preparation of any of those documents or made any “due diligence” investigation or any inquiry of the Underlying Stock Issuers. Furthermore, none of the Bank, the Agents or our or their respective affiliates know whether any Underlying Stock Issuer has disclosed all events occurring before the date of this product supplement or the applicable pricing supplement—including events that could affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents referred to above. Subsequent disclosure of any event of this kind or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning an Underlying Stock Issuer could affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into any applicable Underlying Stock Issuer.
In addition, there can be no assurance that an Underlying Stock Issuer will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and will distribute any reports, proxy statements, and other information required thereby to its shareholders. In the event that an Underlying Stock Issuer ceases to be subject to such reporting requirements and the securities continue to be outstanding, pricing information for the securities may be more difficult to obtain and the value and liquidity of the securities may be adversely affected. None of the Bank, the Agents or our or their respective affiliates are responsible for the public disclosure of information by any Underlying Stock Issuer, whether contained in filings with the SEC or otherwise.
You Have Limited Anti-Dilution Protection.
The calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor of an Underlying Stock for certain events affecting such Underlying Stock, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect an Underlying Stock. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments to the adjustment factor of an Underlying Stock if the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for such Underlying Stock. Consequently, this could affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. See “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” for a description of the general circumstances in which the calculation agent will make adjustments to the adjustment factor of an Underlying Stock.

Risks Relating to General Credit Characteristics
Investors Are Subject To The Bank’s Credit Risk, And The Bank’s Credit Ratings And Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of The Securities.
The payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The securities are the Bank’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and to changes in the market’s view of the Bank’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in the Bank’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking the Bank’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If the Bank becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.
Risks Relating To Canadian And U.S. Federal Income Taxation
Significant Aspects Of The Tax Treatment Of The Securities Are Uncertain.
Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this product supplement or the applicable pricing supplement. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and/or character of income on the securities could be affected materially and adversely. Please read carefully the sections entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.
Further, there exists a risk (and in certain circumstances, a substantial risk) that an investment in securities that are linked to shares of an ETF, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) or other “pass-thru entity” could be treated as a “constructive ownership” transaction subject to the “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which could result in part or all of any long-term capital gain realized by you on the taxable disposition of a security being recharacterized as ordinary income and subject to an interest charge (or, in the case of a gold or silver ETF, subject to a maximum tax rate of 28% applicable to “collectibles”).
The IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the securities. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) are actively considering whether the holder of an instrument such as the securities should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of the securities will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations. Except to the extent otherwise required by law, the Bank intends to treat your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Furthermore, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of securities purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the securities regardless of whether there are interest payments over the term of the securities. Moreover, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments, that if it had been enacted, would have required instruments such as the securities to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions. It is not possible to predict whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your securities. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the draft legislation and its possible impact on you.
Please read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this product supplement. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please see “Tax Consequences — Canadian Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus, the section entitled “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” in this product supplement, and any applicable tax consequences discussed in the applicable pricing supplement. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in “Tax Consequences – Canadian Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus) or if you acquire the securities in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and receiving the payments that might be due under the securities.

The “closing level” with respect to an Index on any trading day means the official closing level of that Index reported by the relevant index sponsor on such trading day, as obtained by the calculation agent on such trading day from the licensed third-party market data vendor contracted by the calculation agent at such time; in particular, taking into account the decimal precision and/or rounding convention employed by such licensed third-party market data vendor on such date. Currently, the calculation agent obtains market data from Thomson Reuters Ltd., but the calculation agent may change its market data vendor at any time without notice. The foregoing provisions of this definition of “closing level” are subject to the provisions set forth below under “—Market Disruption Events,” “—Adjustments to an Index,” “—Discontinuance of an Index” and “General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day.”

PS-12

Market Disruption Events
A “market disruption event” with respect to an Index (other than a multiple exchange index) means any of the following events as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:

(A)
The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the relevant stock exchanges or otherwise relating to securities which then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any successor equity index at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by those relevant stock exchanges or otherwise.

(B)
The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any related futures or options exchange or otherwise in futures or options contracts relating to such Index or any successor equity index on any related futures or options exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the related futures or options exchange or otherwise.

(D)
The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to such Index or any successor equity index on any related futures or options exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day.

(E)
The closure on any exchange business day of the relevant stock exchanges on which securities that then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any successor equity index are traded or any related futures or options exchange with respect to such Index or any successor equity index prior to its scheduled closing time unless the earlier closing time is announced by the relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange, as applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange, as applicable, system for execution at such actual closing time on that day.

(F)
The relevant stock exchange for any security underlying such Index or successor equity index or any related futures or options exchange with respect to such Index or successor equity index fails to open for trading during its regular trading session.
For purposes of determining whether a market disruption event has occurred with respect to an Index (other than a multiple exchange index):

(1)
the relevant percentage contribution of a security to the level of such Index or any successor equity index will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of such index attributable to that security and (y) the overall level of such Index or successor equity index, in each case immediately before the occurrence of the market disruption event;

(2)
the “close of trading” on any trading day for such Index or any successor equity index means the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchanges with respect to the securities underlying such Index or successor equity index on such trading day; provided that, if the actual closing time of the regular trading session of any such relevant stock exchange is earlier than its scheduled closing time on such trading day, then (x) for purposes of clauses (A) and (C) of the definition of “market disruption event” above, with respect to any security underlying such Index or successor equity index for which such relevant stock exchange is its relevant stock exchange, the “close of trading” means such actual closing time and (y) for purposes of clauses (B) and (D) of the definition of “market disruption event” above, with respect to any futures or options contract relating to such Index or successor equity index, the “close of trading” means the latest actual closing time of the regular trading session of any of the relevant stock exchanges, but in no event later than the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchanges;

(3)
the “scheduled closing time” of any relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange on any trading day for such Index or any successor equity index means the scheduled weekday closing time of such relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange on such trading day, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours; and

(4)
an “exchange business day” means any trading day for such Index or any successor equity index on which each relevant stock exchange for the securities underlying such Index or any successor equity index and each related futures or options exchange with respect to such Index or any successor equity index are open for trading during their respective regular

PS-13

trading sessions, notwithstanding any such relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange closing prior to its scheduled closing time.
A “market disruption event” with respect to a multiple exchange index means, any of (A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:

(A)
Any of the following events occurs or exists with respect to any security included in such Index or any successor equity index, and the aggregate of all securities included in such Index or successor equity index with respect to which any such event occurs comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or successor equity index:

a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the relevant stock exchange for such security or otherwise at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the scheduled closing time for the relevant stock exchange for such security on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant stock exchange or otherwise;

any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, such security on its relevant stock exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the scheduled closing time for the relevant stock exchange for such security on that day; or

the closure on any exchange business day of the relevant stock exchange for such security prior to its scheduled closing time unless the earlier closing is announced by such relevant stock exchange at least one hour prior to the earlier of (i) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such relevant stock exchange and (ii) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the relevant stock exchange system for execution at the scheduled closing time for such relevant stock exchange on that day.

(B)
Any of the following events occurs or exists with respect to futures or options contracts relating to such Index or any successor equity index:

a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any related futures or options exchange or otherwise at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on such related futures or options exchange on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the related futures or options exchange or otherwise;

any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to such Index or successor equity index on any related futures or options exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on such related futures or options exchange on that day; or

the closure on any exchange business day of any related futures or options exchange prior to its scheduled closing time unless the earlier closing time is announced by such related futures or options exchange at least one hour prior to the earlier of (i) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such related futures or options exchange and (ii) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the related futures or options exchange system for execution at the close of trading for such related futures or options exchange on that day.

(C)
The relevant index sponsor fails to publish the level of such Index or any successor equity index (other than as a result of the relevant index sponsor having discontinued publication of such Index or successor equity index and no successor equity index being available).

(D)
Any related futures or options exchange fails to open for trading during its regular trading session.
For purposes of determining whether a market disruption event has occurred with respect to a multiple exchange index:

(1)
the relevant percentage contribution of a security included in such Index or any successor equity index to the level of such Index will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of such Index or any successor equity index attributable to that security to (y) the overall level of such index, in each case using the official opening weightings as published by the relevant index sponsor as part of the market opening data;

(2)
the “scheduled closing time” of any relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange on any trading day means the scheduled weekday closing time of such relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange on such trading day, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours; and

(3)
an “exchange business day” means any trading day on which (i) the relevant index sponsor publishes the level of such index or any successor equity index and (ii) each related futures or options exchange is open for trading during its

PS-14

regular trading session, notwithstanding any related futures or options exchange closing prior to its scheduled closing time.
Adjustments to an Index
If at any time the method of calculating an Index or a successor equity index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if an Index or a successor equity index is in any other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the level of such index had those changes or modifications not been made, then the calculation agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the closing level of such index is to be calculated, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent determines may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of an index comparable to such Index or successor equity index as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the calculation agent will calculate the closing level of such Index or successor equity index with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an Index or successor equity index is modified so that the level of such index is a fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split or reverse split in such equity index), then the calculation agent will adjust such Index or successor equity index in order to arrive at a level of such index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if the split or reverse split had not occurred).
Discontinuance of an Index
If an index sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such index sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or substitute equity index that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to such Index (a “successor equity index”), then, upon the calculation agent’s notification of that determination to the trustee and the Bank, the calculation agent will substitute the successor equity index as calculated by the relevant index sponsor or any other entity for purposes of calculating the closing level of such Index on any date of determination. Upon any selection by the calculation agent of a successor equity index, the Bank will cause notice to be given to holders of the securities.
In the event that an index sponsor discontinues publication of an Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a calculation day and the calculation agent determines that no successor equity index is available at such time, the calculation agent will calculate a substitute closing level for such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance. If a successor equity index is selected or the calculation agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index, the successor equity index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event exists.
If on a calculation day an index sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of an Index, the calculation agent will calculate a substitute closing level of such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that failure; provided that, if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on such day with respect to such Index, then the provisions set forth below under “General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day” shall apply in lieu of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of, or the failure by the relevant index sponsor to calculate and announce the level of, an Index may adversely affect the value of the securities.
Certain Terms for Securities Linked to a Fund
Certain Definitions
A “trading day” with respect to a Fund means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which the relevant stock exchange and each related futures or options exchange with respect to such Fund or any successor thereto, if applicable, are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions.
The “relevant stock exchange” for a Fund means the primary exchange or quotation system on which shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund are traded, as determined by the calculation agent.
The “related futures or options exchange” for a Fund means each exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the calculation agent) on the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to such Fund.
The “closing price” for one share of a Fund (or one unit of any other security for which a closing price must be determined) on any trading day means the official closing price on such day published by the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, on which such Fund (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading.
The “fund closing price” with respect to a Fund on any trading day means the product of (i) the closing price of one share of such Fund (or one unit of any other security for which a fund closing price must be determined) on such trading day and (ii) the adjustment factor applicable to such Fund on such trading day.

PS-15

The “adjustment factor” means, with respect to a share of a Fund (or one unit of any other security for which a fund closing price must be determined), 1.0, subject to adjustment in the event of certain events affecting the shares of such Fund. See “—Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating to a Fund; Alternate Calculation” below.
Market Disruption Events
A “market disruption event” with respect to a Fund means any of the following events as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:

(A)
The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the relevant stock exchange or otherwise relating to the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any successor fund on the relevant stock exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on such day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by such relevant stock exchange or otherwise.

(B)
The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any related futures or options exchange or otherwise in futures or options contracts relating to the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any successor fund on any related futures or options exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the related futures or options exchange or otherwise.

(C)
The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any successor fund on the relevant stock exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day.

(D)
The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any successor fund on any related futures or options exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day.

(E)
The closure of the relevant stock exchange or any related futures or options exchange with respect to such Fund or any successor fund prior to its scheduled closing time unless the earlier closing time is announced by the relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange, as applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange, as applicable, system for execution at the close of trading on that day.

(F)
The relevant stock exchange or any related futures or options exchange with respect to such Fund or any successor fund fails to open for trading during its regular trading session.
For purposes of determining whether a market disruption event has occurred with respect to a Fund:

(1)
close of trading” means the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchange with respect to such Fund or any successor fund; and

(2)
the “scheduled closing time” of the relevant stock exchange or any related futures or options exchange on any trading day for such Fund or any successor fund means the scheduled weekday closing time of such relevant stock exchange or related futures or options exchange on such trading day, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours.
Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating to a Fund; Alternate Calculation
Anti-dilution Adjustments
The calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor with respect to a Fund as specified below if any of the events specified below occurs with respect to such Fund and the effective date or ex-dividend date, as applicable, for such event is after the pricing date and on or prior to the final calculation day for such Fund.
The adjustments specified below do not cover all events that could affect a Fund, and there may be other events that could affect a Fund for which the calculation agent will not make any such adjustments, including, without limitation, an ordinary cash dividend. Nevertheless, the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, make additional adjustments to any terms of the securities upon the occurrence of other events that affect or could potentially affect the market price of, or shareholder rights in, a Fund, with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any such change, and preserving the relative investment risks of the securities. In addition, the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, make adjustments or a series of adjustments that differ from those described herein if the calculation agent determines that such adjustments do not properly reflect the economic consequences of the events specified in this

product supplement or would not preserve the relative investment risks of the securities. All determinations made by the calculation agent in making any adjustments to the terms of the securities, including adjustments that are in addition to, or that differ from, those described in this product supplement, will be made in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, with the aim of ensuring an equitable result. In determining whether to make any adjustment to the terms of the securities, the calculation agent may consider any adjustment made by The Options Clearing Corporation or any other equity derivatives clearing organization on options contracts on the affected Fund.
For any event described below, the calculation agent will not be required to adjust the adjustment factor for a Fund unless the adjustment would result in a change to such adjustment factor then in effect of at least 0.10%. The adjustment factor resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth.
(A)
Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits
If a stock split or reverse stock split has occurred with respect to a Fund, then once such split has become effective, the adjustment factor for such Fund will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior adjustment factor for such Fund and the number of securities which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of such Fund before the effective date of such stock split or reverse stock split would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following the applicable effective date.
(B)
Stock Dividends
If a dividend or distribution of shares (or other applicable securities) of a Fund has been made by such Fund ratably to all holders of record of such shares (or other applicable security), then the adjustment factor for such Fund will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the prior adjustment factor for such Fund plus the product of the prior adjustment factor for such Fund and the additional number of shares (or other applicable security) of such Fund which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of such Fund before the ex-dividend date would have been entitled to receive immediately following that date; provided, however, that no adjustment will be made for a distribution for which the number of securities of such Fund paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value.
(C)
Extraordinary Dividends
If an extraordinary dividend (as defined below) has occurred with respect to a Fund, then the adjustment factor for such Fund will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the product of the prior adjustment factor for such Fund and a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price per share (or other applicable security) of such Fund on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date, and the denominator of which is the amount by which the closing price per share (or other applicable security) of such Fund on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date exceeds the extraordinary dividend amount (as defined below).
For purposes of determining whether an extraordinary dividend has occurred:

(1)
extraordinary dividend” means any cash dividend or distribution (or portion thereof) that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is extraordinary or special; and

(2)
extraordinary dividend amount” with respect to an extraordinary dividend for the securities of a Fund will equal the amount per share (or other applicable security) of such Fund of the applicable cash dividend or distribution that is attributable to the extraordinary dividend, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion.
A distribution on the securities of a Fund described below under the section entitled “—Reorganization Events” below that also constitutes an extraordinary dividend will only cause an adjustment pursuant to that “—Reorganization Events” section.
(D)
Other Distributions
If a Fund declares or makes a distribution to all holders of the shares (or other applicable security) of such Fund of any non-cash assets, excluding dividends or distributions described under the section entitled “—Stock Dividends” above, then the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, make such adjustment (if any) to the adjustment factor as it deems appropriate in the circumstances. If the calculation agent determines to make an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, it will do so with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the economic position of a holder of the securities that results solely from the applicable event.
(E)
Reorganization Events
If a Fund, or any successor fund, is subject to a merger, combination, consolidation or statutory exchange of securities with another exchange traded fund, and such Fund is not the surviving entity (a “reorganization event”), then, on or after the date of such event, the calculation agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the adjustment factor for such Fund or the method of determining the maturity payment amount or any other terms of the securities as the calculation agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the securities of such event, and determine the effective date of that

PS-17

adjustment. If the calculation agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent may deem such event a liquidation event (as defined below).
Liquidation Events
If a Fund is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “liquidation event”), and a successor or substitute exchange traded fund exists that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to such Fund, then, upon the calculation agent’s notification of that determination to the trustee and the Bank, any subsequent fund closing price for such Fund will be determined by reference to the fund closing price of such successor or substitute exchange traded fund (such exchange traded fund being referred to herein as a “successor fund”), with such adjustments as the calculation agent determines are appropriate to account for the economic effect of such substitution on holders of the securities.
If a Fund undergoes a liquidation event prior to, and such liquidation event is continuing on, the date that any fund closing price of such Fund is to be determined and the calculation agent determines that no successor fund is available at such time, then the calculation agent will, in its discretion, calculate the fund closing price for such Fund on such date by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines, in its discretion, will as closely as reasonably possible replicate such Fund, provided that if the calculation agent determines that it is not practicable to replicate such Fund (including but not limited to the instance in which a fund underlying index sponsor discontinues publication of the relevant fund underlying index), then the calculation agent will calculate the fund closing price for such Fund in accordance with the formula last used to calculate such fund closing price before such liquidation event, but using only those securities that were held by such Fund immediately prior to such liquidation event without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such liquidation event.
If a successor fund is selected or the calculation agent calculates the fund closing price as a substitute for a Fund, such successor fund or fund closing price will be used as a substitute for such Fund for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether a market disruption event exists with respect to such Fund. Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, a liquidation event with respect to a Fund may adversely affect the value of the securities.
If any event is both a reorganization event and a liquidation event, such event will be treated as a reorganization event for purposes of the securities unless the calculation agent makes the determination referenced in the last sentence of the section entitled “—Anti-dilution Adjustments—Reorganization Events” above.
Alternate Calculation
If at any time the method of calculating a Fund or a successor fund, or the related fund underlying index, is changed in a material respect, or if a Fund or a successor fund is in any other way modified so that such fund does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price of the securities of such Fund or such successor fund had such changes or modifications not been made, then the calculation agent may, at the close of business in New York City on the date that any fund closing price is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, determines may be necessary in order to arrive at a closing price of an exchange traded fund comparable to such Fund or such successor fund, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the fund closing price of such Fund and determine the maturity payment amount and any other terms of the securities with reference to such adjusted closing price of such Fund or such successor fund, as applicable.
Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock
Certain Definitions
A “trading day” with respect to an Underlying Stock means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the principal trading market for such Underlying Stock (as determined by the calculation agent, its sole discretion), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States.
The “closing price” for one share of an Underlying Stock (or one unit of any other security for which a closing price must be determined) on any trading day means:

if such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the official closing price on such day published by the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act on which such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading; or

if such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board Service on such day.

PS-18

If such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but the official closing price is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the closing price for one share of such Underlying Stock (or one unit of any such other security) on any trading day will mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board Service on such day.
If the official closing price or the last reported sale price, as applicable, for such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) is not available pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, then the closing price per share for any trading day will be the mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the bid price for such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the calculation agent. Bids of Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto or, if the OTC Bulletin Board Service is discontinued and there is no successor service thereto, the OTC Reporting Facility operated by FINRA.
The “stock closing price” with respect to an Underlying Stock on a trading day, means the product of the closing price of such Underlying Stock and the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock, each on such trading day.
The “adjustment factor” for an Underlying Stock is initially 1.0. The adjustment factor for an Underlying Stock will remain constant for the term of the securities, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events relating to the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer as described in the section entitled “—Adjustment Events” below.
Market Disruption Events
A “market disruption event” means, with respect to an Underlying Stock, the occurrence or existence of any of the following events:

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in such Underlying Stock on its primary market for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour before the close of trading in that market, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion;

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in option or futures contracts relating to such Underlying Stock, if available, in the primary market for those contracts for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour before the close of trading in that market, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion;

such Underlying Stock does not trade on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or what was the primary market for such Underlying Stock, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion; or

any other event, if the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that the event materially interferes with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge with respect to the securities that we or our affiliates have effected or may effect.
The following events will not be a market disruption event with respect to an Underlying Stock:

a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading in such Underlying Stock in its primary market, but only if the limitation results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market; and

a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the option or futures contracts relating to such Underlying Stock.
For this purpose, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the applicable market will not include any time when that market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. In contrast, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the applicable market for such Underlying Stock or option or futures contracts relating to such Underlying Stock, as applicable, by reason of any of:

a price change exceeding limits set by that market;

an imbalance of orders relating to such Underlying Stock or those contracts; or

a disparity in bid and asked quotes relating to such Underlying Stock or those contracts
will constitute a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in such Underlying Stock or those contracts, as the case may be, in the applicable market.

PS-19

Adjustment Events
The adjustment factor for an Underlying Stock is initially 1.0. However, the adjustment factor for an Underlying Stock is subject to adjustment by the calculation agent as a result of the dilution and reorganization events described in this section. The adjustments described below do not cover all events that could affect the Underlying Stocks and, consequently, the value of your securities, such as a tender or exchange offer by the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer for such Underlying Stock at a premium to its market price or a tender or exchange offer made by a third party for less than all outstanding shares of such Underlying Stock. We describe the risks relating to dilution above under “Risk Factors—Additional Risk Factors Relating to Securities Linked to An Underlying Stock—You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection.”
How adjustments will be made
If one of the events described below occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock and the calculation agent determines that the event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market price of such Underlying Stock, the calculation agent will calculate a corresponding adjustment to the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock as the calculation agent deems appropriate to account for that dilutive or concentrative effect. For example, if an adjustment is required because of a two-for-one stock split, then the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock will be adjusted by the calculation agent by multiplying the existing adjustment factor by a fraction whose numerator is the number of shares of such Underlying Stock outstanding immediately after the stock split and whose denominator is the number of shares of such Underlying Stock outstanding immediately prior to the stock split. Consequently, the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock will be adjusted to double the prior adjustment factor, due to the corresponding decrease in the market price of such Underlying Stock. Adjustments to the adjustment factor for an Underlying Stock will be made for events with an effective date or ex-dividend date, as applicable, from but excluding the pricing date to and including the applicable calculation day for such Underlying Stock (the “adjustment period”).
The calculation agent will also determine the effective date of that adjustment, and the replacement of an Underlying Stock, if applicable, in the event of a consolidation or merger or certain other events in respect of the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer. Upon making any such adjustment, the calculation agent will give notice as soon as practicable to the trustee and the paying agent, stating the adjustment to the adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock. The calculation agent will not be required to make any adjustments to the adjustment factor for purposes of calculating the stock closing price for a calculation day after the close of business on such calculation day; provided that any such adjustments to the adjustment factor will be taken into account for purposes of determining the stock closing price for any subsequent calculation day. In no event, however, will an anti-dilution adjustment to the adjustment factor of an Underlying Stock during the term of the securities be deemed to change the face amount per security.
If more than one event requiring adjustment occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock, the calculation agent will make an adjustment for each event in the order in which the events occur, and on a cumulative basis. Thus, having made an adjustment for the first event, the calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock for the second event, applying the required adjustment to the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock as already adjusted for the first event, and so on for any subsequent events.
For any dilution event described below, other than a consolidation or merger, the calculation agent will not have to adjust the adjustment factor for an Underlying Stock unless the adjustment would result in a change to the adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock then in effect of at least 0.10%. The adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth.
If an event requiring an anti-dilution adjustment occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock, the calculation agent will make the adjustment with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in your economic position relative to your securities that results solely from that event. The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the anti-dilution adjustments as necessary to ensure an equitable result.
The calculation agent will make all determinations with respect to anti-dilution adjustments, including any determination as to whether an event requiring adjustment has occurred with respect to an Underlying Stock, as to the nature of the adjustment required for such Underlying Stock and how it will be made or as to the value of any property distributed in a reorganization event, and will do so in its sole discretion. In the absence of manifest error, those determinations will be conclusive for all purposes and will be binding on you and us, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent. You will not be entitled to any compensation from us for any loss suffered as a result of any of these determinations by the calculation agent. The calculation agent will provide information about the adjustments that it makes upon your written request.
If any of the adjustments specified below is required to be made with respect to an amount or value of any cash or other property that is distributed by an Underlying Stock Issuer organized outside the United States, such amount or value will be converted to U.S. dollars, as applicable, and will be reduced by any applicable foreign withholding taxes that would apply to such distribution if such distribution were paid to a U.S. person that is eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, if any, between the United States and the jurisdiction of organization of such Underlying Stock Issuer, as determined by the calculation agent, in its sole discretion.

PS-20

No adjustments will be made for certain other events, such as offerings of common stock by an Underlying Stock Issuer for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for an Underlying Stock by the Underlying Stock Issuer of such Underlying Stock or any other person.
Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits
A stock split is an increase in the number of a corporation’s outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders’ equity. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock split.
A reverse stock split is a decrease in the number of a corporation’s outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders’ equity. Each outstanding share will be worth more as a result of a reverse stock split.
If an Underlying Stock is subject to a stock split or a reverse stock split, then once the split has become effective the calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock to equal the product of the prior adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share of such Underlying Stock.
Stock Dividends
In a stock dividend, a corporation issues additional shares of its stock to all holders of its outstanding stock in proportion to the shares they own. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock dividend.
If an Underlying Stock is subject to a stock dividend payable in shares of such Underlying Stock that is given ratably to all holders of shares of such Underlying Stock, then once the dividend has become effective the calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock on the ex-dividend date to equal the sum of the prior adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock and the product of:

the number of shares issued with respect to one share of such Underlying Stock, and

the prior adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock.
The “ex-dividend date” for any dividend or other distribution is the first day on and after which such Underlying Stock trades without the right to receive that dividend or distribution.
No Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the adjustment factor for an Underlying Stock will not be adjusted to reflect dividends, including cash dividends, or other distributions paid with respect to such Underlying Stock, other than:

stock dividends described above,

issuances of transferable rights and warrants as described in “ —Transferable Rights and Warrants” below,

distributions that are spin-off events described in “ —Reorganization Events” below, and

extraordinary dividends described below.
An “extraordinary dividend” means each of (a) the full amount per share of an Underlying Stock of any cash dividend or special dividend or distribution that is identified by the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution, (b) the excess of any cash dividend or other cash distribution (that is not otherwise identified by the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution) distributed per share of such Underlying Stock over the immediately preceding cash dividend or other cash distribution, if any, per share of such Underlying Stock that did not include an extraordinary or special dividend (as adjusted for any subsequent corporate event requiring an adjustment as described in this section, such as a stock split or reverse stock split) if such excess portion of the dividend or distribution is more than 5.00% of the closing price of such Underlying Stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date for the payment of such cash dividend or other cash distribution (such closing price, the “extraordinary dividend base closing price”) and (c) the full cash value of any non-cash dividend or distribution per share of such Underlying Stock (excluding marketable securities, as defined below).
If an Underlying Stock is subject to an extraordinary dividend, then once the extraordinary dividend has become effective the calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock on the ex-dividend date to equal the product of:

the prior adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock, and

a fraction, the numerator of which is the extraordinary dividend base closing price of such Underlying Stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date and the denominator of which is the amount by which the extraordinary dividend base closing price of such Underlying Stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date exceeds the extraordinary dividend.

PS-21

Notwithstanding anything herein, the initiation by an Underlying Stock Issuer of an ordinary dividend on such Underlying Stock or any announced increase in the ordinary dividend on such Underlying Stock will not constitute an extraordinary dividend requiring an adjustment.
To the extent an extraordinary dividend is not paid in cash or is paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the value of the non-cash component or non-U.S. currency will be determined by the calculation agent, in its sole discretion. A distribution on an Underlying Stock that is a dividend payable in shares of such Underlying Stock, an issuance of rights or warrants or a spin-off event and also an extraordinary dividend will result in an adjustment to the number of shares of such Underlying Stock only as described in “—Stock Dividends” above, “—Transferable Rights and Warrants” below or “—Reorganization Events” below, as the case may be, and not as described here.
Transferable Rights and Warrants
If an Underlying Stock Issuer issues transferable rights or warrants to all holders of such Underlying Stock to subscribe for or purchase such Underlying Stock at an exercise price per share that is less than the closing price of such Underlying Stock on the trading day before the ex-dividend date for the issuance, then the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock will be adjusted to equal the product of:

the prior adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock, and

a fraction, (1) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of such Underlying Stock outstanding at the close of trading on the trading day before the ex-dividend date (as adjusted for any subsequent event requiring an adjustment hereunder) plus the total number of shares of such Underlying Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants and (2) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of such Underlying Stock outstanding at the close of trading on the trading day before the ex-dividend date (as adjusted for any subsequent event requiring an adjustment hereunder) plus the number of additional shares of such Underlying Stock (referred to herein as the “additional shares”) that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of such Underlying Stock so offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants would purchase at the closing price on the trading day before the ex-dividend date for the issuance.
The number of additional shares will be equal to:

the product of (1) the total number of shares of such Underlying Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants and (2) the exercise price of the rights or warrants, divided by

the closing price of such Underlying Stock on the trading day before the ex-dividend date for the issuance.
If the number of shares of such Underlying Stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants differs from the number of shares of such Underlying Stock offered in respect of the rights or warrants, then the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock will promptly be readjusted to the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock that would have been in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of the number of shares of such Underlying Stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants.
Reorganization Events
Each of the following is a reorganization event with respect to an Underlying Stock:

such Underlying Stock is reclassified or changed (other than in a stock split or reverse stock split),

the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer has been subject to a merger, consolidation or other combination and either is not the surviving entity or is the surviving entity but all outstanding shares of such Underlying Stock are exchanged for or converted into other property,

a statutory share exchange involving outstanding shares of such Underlying Stock and the securities of another entity occurs, other than as part of an event described above,

the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer sells or otherwise transfers its property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity,

the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer effects a spin-off, other than as part of an event described above (in a spin-off, a corporation issues to all holders of its common stock equity securities of another issuer), or

the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer is liquidated, dissolved or wound up or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or another entity completes a tender or exchange offer for all the outstanding shares of such Underlying Stock.

PS-22

Adjustments for Reorganization Events
If a reorganization event occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock, then the calculation agent will adjust the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock to reflect the amount and type of property or properties—whether cash, securities, other property or a combination thereof—that a holder of one share of such Underlying Stock would have been entitled to receive in relation to the reorganization event. We refer to this new property as the “reorganization property.”
Reorganization property can be classified into two categories:

an equity security listed on a national securities exchange, which we refer to generally as a “marketable security” and, in connection with a particular reorganization event, “new stock,” which may include any tracking stock, any stock received in a spin-off (“spin-off stock”) or any marketable security received in exchange for the applicable Underlying Stock; and

cash and any other property, assets or securities other than marketable securities (including equity securities that are not listed, that are traded over the counter or that are listed on a non-U.S. securities exchange), which we refer to as “non-stock reorganization property.”
For the purpose of making an adjustment required by a reorganization event, the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, will determine the value of each type of the reorganization property. For purposes of valuing any new stock, the calculation agent will use the closing price of the security on the relevant trading day. The calculation agent will value non-stock reorganization property in any manner it determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. In connection with a reorganization event in which reorganization property includes new stock, for the purpose of determining the adjustment factor for any new stock as described below, the term “new stock reorganization ratio” means the product of (i) the number of shares of the new stock received with respect to one share of such Underlying Stock and (ii) the adjustment factor for the applicable Underlying Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the reorganization event.
If a holder of shares of the applicable Underlying Stock may elect to receive different types or combinations of types of reorganization property in the reorganization event, the reorganization property will consist of the types and amounts of each type distributed to a holder of shares of such Underlying Stock that makes no election, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion.
If any reorganization event occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock, then on and after the effective date for such reorganization event (or, if applicable, in the case of spinoff stock, the ex-dividend date for the distribution of such spinoff stock) the term “Underlying Stock” in this product supplement will be deemed to mean the following with respect to such Underlying Stock, and for each share of such Underlying Stock, new stock and/or replacement stock so deemed to constitute such Underlying Stock, the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock will be equal to the applicable number indicated:

(a)
if such Underlying Stock continues to be outstanding:

(1)
that Underlying Stock (if applicable, as reclassified upon the issuance of any tracking stock) at the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the reorganization event; and

(2)
if the reorganization property includes new stock, a number of shares of new stock equal to the new stock reorganization ratio;
provided that, if any non-stock reorganization property is received in the reorganization event, the results of (a)(1) and (a)(2) above will each be multiplied by the “gross-up multiplier,” which will be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price of the original Underlying Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the reorganization event and the denominator of which is the amount by which such closing price of the original Underlying Stock exceeds the value of the non-stock reorganization property received per share of such Underlying Stock as determined by the calculation agent as of the close of trading on such trading day; or

(b)
if such Underlying Stock is surrendered for reorganization property:

(1)
that includes new stock, a number of shares of new stock equal to the new stock reorganization ratio; provided that, if any non-stock reorganization property is received in the reorganization event, such number will be multiplied by the gross-up multiplier; or

(2)
that consists exclusively of non-stock reorganization property:

(i)
if the surviving entity has marketable securities outstanding following the reorganization event and either (A) such marketable securities were in existence prior to such reorganization event or (B) such marketable securities were exchanged for previously outstanding marketable securities of the surviving entity or its predecessor (“predecessor stock”) in connection with such reorganization event (in either case of (A) or (B), the “successor stock”), a number of shares of the successor stock determined by the calculation agent on the

PS-23

trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event equal to the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the non-stock reorganization property per share of such Underlying Stock on such trading day and the denominator of which is the closing price of the successor stock on such trading day (or, in the case of predecessor stock, the closing price of the predecessor stock multiplied by the number of shares of the successor stock received with respect to one share of the predecessor stock); or

(ii)
if the surviving entity does not have marketable securities outstanding, or if there is no surviving entity (in each case, a “replacement stock event”), a number of shares of replacement stock (selected as defined below) with an aggregate value on the effective date of such reorganization event equal to the value of the non-stock reorganization property multiplied by the adjustment factor for such Underlying Stock in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event.
If a reorganization event occurs with respect to the shares of an Underlying Stock and the calculation agent adjusts the adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock to reflect the reorganization property in the event as described above, the calculation agent will make further anti-dilution adjustments for any later events that affect the reorganization property, or any component of the reorganization property, comprising the new adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock. The calculation agent will do so to the same extent that it would make adjustments if the shares of such Underlying Stock were outstanding and were affected by the same kinds of events. If a subsequent reorganization event affects only a particular component of the number of shares of such Underlying Stock, the required adjustment will be made with respect to that component as if it alone were the number of shares of such Underlying Stock.
For purposes of adjustments for reorganization events, in the case of a consummated tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction involving reorganization property of a particular type, reorganization property will be deemed to include the amount of cash or other property paid by the offeror in the tender or exchange offer with respect to such reorganization property (in an amount determined on the basis of the rate of exchange in such tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction). In the event of a tender or exchange offer or a going-private transaction with respect to reorganization property in which an offeree may elect to receive cash or other property, reorganization property will be deemed to include the kind and amount of cash and other property received by offerees who elect to receive cash.
Replacement Stock Events
Following the occurrence of a replacement stock event described in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) above or in “—Delisting of American Depositary Shares or Termination of American Depositary Receipt Facility” below with respect to an Underlying Stock, the stock closing price of the applicable underlying stock on any calculation day on or after the effective date of the replacement stock event will be determined by reference to a replacement stock and an adjustment factor (subject to any further anti-dilution adjustments) for such replacement stock as determined in accordance with the following paragraphs.
The “replacement stock” will be the stock having the closest “option period volatility” to the applicable original Underlying Stock among the stocks that then comprise the replacement stock selection index (or, if publication of such index is discontinued, any successor or substitute index selected by the calculation agent) with the same GICS Code (as defined below) as the applicable original Underlying Stock Issuer; provided, however, that a replacement stock will not include (i) any stock that is subject to a trading restriction under the trading restriction policies of the Bank, the hedging counterparties of the Bank or any of their affiliates that would materially limit the ability of the Bank, the hedging counterparties of the Bank or any of their affiliates to hedge the securities with respect to such stock or (ii) any stock for which the aggregate number of shares to be referenced by the securities (equal to the product of (a) (i) the aggregate face amount outstanding divided by (ii) the starting value of the applicable Underlying Stock and (b) the adjustment factor that would be in effect immediately after selection of such stock as the replacement stock) exceeds 25% of the ADTV (as defined in Rule 100(b) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act) for such stock as of the effective date of the replacement stock event (an “excess ADTV stock”).
If a replacement stock is selected in connection with a reorganization event for an original Underlying Stock, the adjustment factor with respect to such replacement stock will be equal to the number of shares of such replacement stock with an aggregate value, based on the closing price on the effective date of such reorganization event, equal to the product of (a) the value of the non-stock reorganization property received per share of such original Underlying Stock and (b) the adjustment factor of such Underlying Stock in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event. If a replacement stock is selected in connection with an ADS termination event (as defined below), the adjustment factor with respect to such replacement stock will be equal to the number of shares of such replacement stock with an aggregate value, based on the closing price on the change date (as defined below), equal to the product of (x) the closing price of the original Underlying Stock on the change date and (y) the adjustment factor in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the change date.
The “option period volatility” means, in respect of any trading day, the volatility (calculated by referring to the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock on its primary exchange) for a period equal to the 125 trading days immediately preceding the announcement date of the reorganization event, as determined by the calculation agent.

GICS Code” means the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) sub-industry code assigned to the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer; provided, however, if (i) there is no other stock in the replacement stock selection index in the same GICS sub-industry or (ii) a replacement stock (a) for which there is no trading restriction and (b) that is not an excess ADTV stock cannot be identified from the replacement stock selection index in the same GICS sub-industry, the GICS Code will mean the GICS industry code assigned to such original Underlying Stock Issuer. If no GICS Code has been assigned to such original Underlying Stock Issuer, the applicable GICS Code will be determined by the calculation agent to be the GICS sub-industry code assigned to companies in the same sub-industry (or, subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, industry, as applicable) as such original Underlying Stock Issuer at the time of the relevant replacement stock event.
The “replacement stock selection index” means the S&P 500® Index.
Delisting of American Depositary Shares or Termination of American Depositary Receipt Facility. If an Underlying Stock is an American Depositary Share and such Underlying Stock is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act or included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service operated by FINRA, or if the American depositary receipt facility between the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer and the depositary is terminated for any reason (each, an “ADS termination event”), then, on the last trading day on which the applicable Underlying Stock is listed or admitted to trading or the last trading day immediately prior to the date of such termination, as applicable (the “change date”), a replacement stock event shall be deemed to occur.
Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day
As used in this section, the “final disrupted calculation day” means, with respect to a calculation day, (i) for an Index or a Fund, the eighth trading day for that Index or Fund after such originally scheduled calculation day or (ii) for an Underlying Stock, the eighth scheduled trading day for that Underlying Stock after such originally scheduled calculation day.
Securities Linked to a Single Market Measure
If any calculation day is not a trading day with respect to the Market Measure, such calculation day will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a trading day with respect to the Market Measure.
If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Market Measure on any calculation day, then such calculation day will be postponed to the first succeeding trading day for the Market Measure on which a market disruption event for the Market Measure has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first succeeding trading day has not occurred as of the final disrupted calculation day for the Market Measure, that final disrupted calculation day shall be deemed to be the calculation day. If a calculation day has been postponed to the final disrupted calculation day and a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Market Measure on such final disrupted calculation day, the calculation agent will determine the closing value of the Market Measure on such final disrupted calculation day:

(i)
in the case of an Index, in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the closing level of such Index last in effect prior to commencement of the market disruption event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if trading in such security has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the value of such security at (a) with respect to an Index that is not a multiple exchange index, the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such relevant stock exchange or (b) with respect to a multiple exchange index, the time at which the official closing level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant index sponsor) on such date of each security included in such Index;

(ii)
in the case of a Fund, based on its good faith estimate of the value of the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund as of the close of trading on such date; and

(iii)
in the case of an Underlying Stock, by using its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed for such Underlying Stock on such day.
As used in (i) above, “closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the relevant stock exchange traded or quoted price of such security as of (a) with respect to an Index that is not a multiple exchange index, the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such relevant stock exchange or (b) with respect to a multiple exchange index, the time at which the official closing level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant index sponsor.
Securities Linked to Multiple Market Measures
If any calculation day is not a trading day with respect to any Market Measure, such calculation day for each Market Measure will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a trading day with respect to each Market Measure.
If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to any Market Measure on any calculation day, then such calculation day for such Market Measure will be postponed to the first succeeding trading day for such Market Measure on which a market disruption event for such Market Measure has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first succeeding trading day has not

PS-25

occurred as of the final disrupted calculation day for such Market Measure, that final disrupted calculation day shall be deemed to be the calculation day for such Market Measure. If a calculation day for a Market Measure has been postponed to the final disrupted calculation day for that Market Measure and a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Market Measure on such final disrupted calculation day, the calculation agent will determine the closing value of such Market Measure on such final disrupted calculation day:

(i)
in the case of an Index, in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the closing level of such Index last in effect prior to commencement of the market disruption event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if trading in such security has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the value of such security at (a) with respect to an Index that is not a multiple exchange index, the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such relevant stock exchange or (b) with respect to a multiple exchange index, the time at which the official closing level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant index sponsor) on such date of each security included in such Index;

(ii)
in the case of a Fund, based on its good faith estimate of the value of the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund as of the close of trading on such date; and

(iii)
in the case of an Underlying Stock, by using its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed for such Underlying Stock on such day.
As used in (i) above, “closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the relevant stock exchange traded or quoted price of such security as of (a) with respect to an Index that is not a multiple exchange index, the scheduled closing time of the relevant stock exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such relevant stock exchange or (b) with respect to a multiple exchange index, the time at which the official closing level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant index sponsor.
Notwithstanding the postponement of a calculation day for a Market Measure due to a market disruption event with respect to such Market Measure on such calculation day, the originally scheduled calculation day will remain the calculation day for any Market Measure not affected by a market disruption event on such day.
Payment Dates
The applicable pricing supplement will specify the stated maturity date as well as any other date on which amounts will or may be payable on the securities (each referred to in this section as a “payment date”).
If any scheduled payment date is not a business day, the payment (if any) required to be made on the securities on such payment date will be made on the next succeeding business day. If a calculation day with respect to any payment date preceding the stated maturity date is postponed, the relevant payment date will be the business day that follows such postponed calculation day by a number of business days equal to the number of business days between the originally scheduled calculation day and the originally scheduled payment date. If the final calculation day is postponed, the stated maturity date will be the later of (i) the originally scheduled stated maturity date and (ii) three business days after the final calculation day as postponed. If the securities are linked to more than one Market Measure and a calculation day is postponed, the related payment date will be postponed as described in this paragraph after the last such calculation day as postponed.
If any payment date is postponed due to a non-business day, a market disruption event on the related calculation day or otherwise, the payment, if any, due on that payment date will be made on that payment date as so postponed with the same force and effect as if it had been made on the originally scheduled payment date, that is, with no additional amount accruing or payable as a result of the postponement.
Calculations and Calculation Agent
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the Bank, will act as calculation agent for the securities. We may appoint a different institution to serve as calculation agent from time to time without your consent and without notifying you of the change. The calculation agent will determine any amounts payable on the securities. In addition, the calculation agent will, among other things:

determine whether a market disruption event has occurred;

determine the closing value of a Market Measure under certain circumstances;

determine if adjustments are required to the closing value of a Market Measure under various circumstances;

if publication of an Index is discontinued, select a successor equity index or, if no successor equity index is available, determine the closing level of such Index;

PS-26


if a Fund undergoes a liquidation event, select a successor fund or, if no successor fund is available, determine the fund closing price of such Fund; and

select a replacement stock for an Underlying Stock under certain circumstances.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, all calculations with respect to the maturity payment amount will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., 0.000005 would be rounded to 0.00001); and the maturity payment amount will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
All determinations made by the calculation agent will be in its sole discretion and, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on us and you. The calculation agent will have no liability for its determinations.
Canadian Bail-in
The securities are not bail-inable debt securities under the CDIC Act, as described in the accompanying prospectus.
Payment of Additional Amounts and Tax Redemption
Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, or herein, the Bank will pay additional amounts as described under “Description of the Debt Securities — Payment of Additional Amounts” in the accompanying prospectus and will have the option to redeem the securities as described under “—Tax Redemption” in the accompanying prospectus.
Events of Default Amount
If an event of default with respect to an issue of securities has occurred and is continuing, the amount payable to a holder of a security upon any acceleration permitted by such securities, with respect to each security, will be equal to the maturity payment amount, calculated as provided in the applicable pricing supplement. If the applicable pricing supplement specifies that the securities will pay a coupon, then the amount described in the immediately preceding sentence will also include a portion of a final coupon payment, if any. The maturity payment amount and any final coupon payment will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the calculation day (or the final calculation day, if there is more than one calculation day). The final coupon payment, if any, will be prorated from and including the immediately preceding coupon payment date to, but excluding, the date of acceleration.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable pricing supplement, the securities will be issued:

only in fully‑registered form;

without interest coupons; and

in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
If a security is issued as a registered global note, only the depositary — e.g., DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, each as defined under “Ownership, Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement” in the accompanying prospectus — will be entitled to transfer and exchange the security as described in this subsection because the depositary will be the sole registered holder of the security and is referred to below as the “holder.” Those who own beneficial interests in a global security do so through participants in the depositary’s securities clearance system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed by the applicable procedures of the depositary and its participants. We describe book‑entry procedures under “Ownership, Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement” in the accompanying prospectus.
Holders of securities issued in fully‑registered form may have their securities broken into more securities of smaller denominations of not less than $1,000, or combined into fewer securities of larger denominations, as long as the total face amount is not changed. This is called an exchange.
To the extent the securities are certificated, holders may exchange or register the transfer of securities at the office of the trustee. Securities may be transferred by endorsement. Holders may also replace lost, stolen or mutilated securities at that office. The trustee acts as our agent for registering securities in the names of holders and registering the transfer of securities. We may change this appointment to another entity or perform it ourselves. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the security registrar. It will also record transfers. The trustee may require an indemnity before replacing any securities.
Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to register the transfer or exchange of securities, but holders may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The registration of a transfer or exchange will only be made if the security registrar is satisfied with your proof of ownership.

PS-27

If we designate additional transfer agents, they will be named in the applicable pricing supplement. We may cancel the designation of any particular transfer agent. We may also approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts.
If the securities are redeemable and we redeem less than all of the securities of a particular series, we may block the registration of transfer or exchange of securities during the period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of redemption and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders entitled to receive the mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of securities selected for redemption, except that we will continue to permit registration of transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any security being partially redeemed.
Payment and Paying Agents
We will pay interest to the person listed in the trustee’s records on the record date in advance of each due date for interest, even if that person no longer owns securities on the interest due date. Holders (or those who own a beneficial interest in the securities) buying and selling securities must work out between them how to compensate for the fact that we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the one who is the registered holder on the record date. The most common manner is to adjust the sale price of the securities to prorate interest fairly between buyer and seller. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the “record date” will be the business day immediately preceding the applicable payment date.
We will pay interest, principal and any other money due on the debt securities at the corporate trust office of the trustee in the City of New York. That office is currently located at 240 Greenwich Street, 7E, New York, NY 10286. Holders must make arrangements to have their payments picked up at or wired from that office. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks.
Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks, brokers or other financial institutions for information on how they will receive payments.
We may also arrange for additional payment offices and may cancel or change these offices, including our use of the trustee’s corporate trust office. These offices are called paying agents. We may also choose to act as our own paying agent or choose one of our subsidiaries to do so. We must notify holders of changes in the paying agents for any particular series of securities.
Notices
We and the trustee will send notices regarding the securities only to registered holders, using their addresses as listed in the trustee’s records. With respect to who is a registered “holder” for this purpose, see “Forms of the Debt Securities” and “Ownership, Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement” in the accompanying prospectus.
Manner of Payment and Delivery
Any payment on the securities at maturity will be made to accounts designated by you and approved by us, or at the office of the trustee in New York City. The maturity payment amount will only be made when the securities are surrendered to the trustee at that office. We also may make any payment or delivery in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.
Other Provisions; Addenda
Any provisions relating to the securities may be modified and/or supplemented by the terms as specified under “Other Provisions” in the applicable securities or in an addendum relating to the applicable securities and, in each case, in the applicable pricing supplement.

PS-28

USE OF PROCEEDS AND HEDGING
We will use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities for the purposes we describe in the accompanying prospectus under “Use of Proceeds”. We and/or our affiliates may also use those proceeds in transactions intended to hedge our obligations under the securities as described herein.
In anticipation of the sale of the securities, we and/or our affiliates expect to enter into hedging transactions involving purchases of securities or over-the-counter derivative instruments linked to the applicable Market Measure(s) or the constituents of a Market Measure. From time to time, we and/or our affiliates may enter into additional hedging transactions or unwind those we have entered into.
We and/or our affiliates may acquire a long or short position in securities similar to the securities from time to time and may, in our or their sole discretion, hold or resell those similar securities.
We and/or our affiliates may close out our or their hedge position relating to the securities on or before any calculation day for your securities. That step may involve sales or purchases of the instruments described above. No holder of the securities will have any right or interest in our or any affiliates’ hedging activity or any positions we or our affiliates may take in connection with any hedging activity.
The hedging activity discussed above may adversely affect the market value of the securities from time to time. See “Risk Factors — Trading And Business Activities By The Bank Or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of, And Any Amount Payable On, The Securities” in this product supplement for a discussion of these adverse effects.

PS-29

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST) –SELLING RESTRICTIONS
Delivery of the securities will be made against payment therefor on or about the issue date specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days after the date the securities are priced, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the applicable pricing supplement specifies that the issue date is more than two business days after the date on which the securities are priced, purchasers who wish to trade such securities at any time prior to the second business day preceding the issue date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securities will not settle in T+2, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement; such purchasers should also consult their advisors in this regard.
Conflicts of Interest
TDS is an affiliate of the Bank and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. In addition, the Bank will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the securities, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the securities will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliated agent of ours is permitted to sell the securities in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
We, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the securities. In addition, we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the securities after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the securities from us, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction unless we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties informs such purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale.
Prohibition of Sales to European Economic Area Retail Investors
The securities may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For the purposes of this provision:
(a)
the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

(i)
a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or

(ii)
a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

(iii)
not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (3)(e) (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”); and
(b)
the expression an “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the securities.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Prohibition of Sales to United Kingdom Retail Investors
The securities may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this provision:
(a)
the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

(i)
a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “EUWA”) and the regulations made under the EUWA, subject to amendments made by the Markets in Financial Instruments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/1403) (as may be amended or superseded from time to time); or

(ii)
a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and the regulations made under the EUWA, subject to amendments made by the Markets in Financial Instruments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/1403) (as may be amended or superseded from time to time); or

(iii)
not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, subject to amendments made by the Prospectus (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/1234) (as may be amended or superseded from time to time) ; and
(b)
the expression an “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the securities.

PS-30

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, subject to amendments made by the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/403) (as may be amended or superseded from time to time, the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling any securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling any securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCUSSION OF CANADIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES
An investor should read carefully the description of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to a Non-resident Holder (as defined in the prospectus) owning securities under “Tax Consequences – Canadian Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus. The applicable pricing supplement may describe the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to a Non resident Holder owning securities which shall, to the extent so described or to the extent inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, replace or modify the description in the accompanying prospectus.
In addition to the assumptions, limitations and conditions described therein, such discussion assumes that no amount paid or payable to a Non-resident Holder in respect of the securities will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises within the meaning of proposed paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the prospectus) contained in proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act released by the Minister of Finance (Canada) on April 29, 2022 (the “Hybrid Mismatch Proposals”). Investors should note that the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals are in consultation form, are highly complex, and there remains significant uncertainty as to their interpretation and application. There can be no assurance that the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals will be enacted in their current form, or at all. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any withholding required by reason of the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals.

PS-32

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
General
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of how the securities should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. The following is a general description of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the securities. This discussion is based upon the Code, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. This discussion applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder, as defined herein. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, an investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders, because such an investment may result in significant adverse tax consequences. In particular, if there are contingent coupon payments on a security, persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the securities may withhold on any coupon paid to you, generally at a rate of 30%, and to the extent that we have (or an affiliate of ours has) withholding responsibility in respect of the securities, we intend to so withhold. This discussion does not otherwise address the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the securities. The applicable pricing supplement will contain a further discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to that offering of securities, which may differ from the discussion herein. The discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences contained in the applicable pricing supplement supersedes the following discussion to the extent it is inconsistent therewith. Prospective purchasers of the securities are urged to read the discussion in the applicable pricing supplements relating to the securities and to consult their tax advisors as to the consequences under the tax laws of the country of which they are resident for tax purposes and the federal, state and local tax laws of the U.S. of acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities. References in this section to the Market Measure shall be deemed to be references to the Underlier, Underliers or Basket for an offering of the securities, as applicable.
This discussion applies to you only if you acquire your securities upon initial issuance and hold your securities as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

a dealer in securities or currencies,

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting for your securities holdings,

a financial institution or a bank,

a regulated investment company (a “RIC”), REIT or common trust fund,

a life insurance company,

a tax-exempt organization or an investor holding the securities in a tax-advantaged account (such as an “Individual Retirement Account” or “Roth IRA”), as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively,

a person that owns the securities as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, synthetic security, conversion transaction, or other integrated transaction, or enters into a “constructive sale” with respect to the securities or a “wash sale” with respect to the securities or the Market Measure,

a former citizen on the U.S.,

a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar, or

taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code.
This discussion is only applicable to U.S. holders. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of a security that is: (i) an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) a domestic corporation or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration, and one or more U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
An individual may, subject to certain exceptions, be deemed to be a resident of the U.S. by reason of being present in the U.S. for at least 31 days in the calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending in the current calendar year (counting for such purposes all of the days present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding year, and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year).
If a partnership, or any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds the securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the securities should consult its tax advisor with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in the securities.

PS-33

This discussion does not address securities linked to, or denominated in, one or more foreign currencies or securities that provide for interest payments (whether fixed or contingent). The tax treatment for such securities (and any other securities with terms that differ from those described herein) will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement and may be differ materially and adversely from those described herein. Additionally, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of any Market Measure or other property that a holder may receive at maturity or otherwise pursuant to the terms of certain offerings of the securities and each holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of any Market Measure received.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, we intend to treat the securities as prepaid forward contracts or prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Market Measure that are treated as “open transactions” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and pursuant to the terms of the securities, the Bank and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the securities in accordance with this characterization.
If the securities are so treated, you should generally not accrue any income with respect to the securities during the term of the securities (assuming the applicable pricing supplement does not specify that interest is payable on the securities) until taxable disposition of the securities and you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon such taxable disposition in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and your tax basis in the securities. In general, your tax basis in your securities will be equal to the amount you paid for your securities. Subject to the discussion below on the constructive ownership rules of Section 1260 of the Code, such recognized gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise, such gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss if you held for a year or less). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, we expect that our special U.S. tax counsel would be able to opine that it would be reasonable to treat your securities as prepaid forward contracts or prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Market Measure.
It is possible that the IRS could assert that your holding period in respect of your securities should end on the date on which the amount you are entitled to receive upon maturity of your securities is determined (generally the Valuation Date), even though you will not receive any amounts from the Bank in respect of your securities prior to the maturity date of your securities. In this case, you may be treated as having a holding period in respect of your securities ending prior to the maturity date for your securities, and such holding period may be treated as less than one year even if you receive cash on the maturity date of your securities at a time that is more than one year after the beginning of your holding period.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, the Bank intends to treat your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Section 1260
If a security references an Underlying Stock, Fund or Index with a component that is treated as equity in a RIC (or a “trust”) such as certain ETFs, a REIT, a PFIC, a partnership, or other “pass-thru entity” for purposes of Section 1260 of the Code, it is possible that the “constructive ownership transaction” rules of Section 1260 of the Code may apply, in which case the tax consequences of a taxable disposition of the securities could be affected materially and adversely. Under the “constructive ownership” rules, if an investment in the securities is treated as a “constructive ownership transaction”, any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. holder in respect of such securities will be recharacterized as ordinary income to the extent such gain exceeds the amount of “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260 of the Code) of the U.S. holder (the “Excess Gain”). In addition, an interest charge would also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Excess Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in gross income inclusion for the U.S. holder in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the taxable disposition of the securities (assuming such income accrued such that the amount in each successive year is equal to the income in the prior year increased at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of such taxable disposition). In the case of securities referencing a gold or silver ETF, if Section 1260 were to apply to your securities, any long-term capital gain that you recognize with respect to your securities that is not recharacterized as ordinary income would be subject to tax at a special 28% maximum rate that is applicable to “collectibles”. There exists a risk that an investment in securities that are linked to shares of an ETF, PFIC, REIT or other “pass-thru” entity or to a Basket that contains shares of an ETF, PFIC, REIT or other “pass-thru entity” could be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction”. Furthermore, depending on the precise terms of a particular offering of securities that reference an ETF or other “pass-thru entity”, the risk may be substantial that such securities would be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction”, and that all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized with respect to such securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income and subject to interest charge (or, in the case of a gold or silver ETF, subject to a special 28% maximum rate that is applicable to “collectibles”).

If such treatment applies, it is not clear to what extent any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. holder in respect of a security would be recharacterized as ordinary income and subject to the interest charge described above, in part because it is not clear how the “net underlying long-term capital gain” would be computed in respect of a security. Under Section 1260, the net underlying long-term capital gain is generally the net long-term capital gain a taxpayer would have recognized by investing in the underlying “pass-thru entity” at the inception of the constructive ownership transaction and selling on the date the constructive ownership transaction is closed out (i.e. at maturity or earlier disposition). It is possible that all or a portion of your gain with respect to the securities could be treated as “Excess Gain” if, for example, where an ETF is the sole Market Measure, the “net underlying long-term capital gain” could equal the amount of long-term capital gain a U.S. holder would have recognized if on the Issue Date of the securities the holder had invested the face amount of the securities in shares of the Market Measure that is treated as a “pass-thru entity” and sold those shares for their fair market value on the date the securities are sold, exchanged or retired. Furthermore, unless otherwise established by clear and convincing evidence, the “net underlying long-term capital gain” is treated as zero. Accordingly, it is possible that all or a portion of any gain on the sale or settlement of a security after one year could be treated as “Excess Gain” from a “constructive ownership transaction”, which gain would be recharacterized as ordinary income, and subject to an interest charge (or, in the case of a gold or silver ETF, subject to the tax rate applicable to “collectibles”). Because the application of the constructive ownership rules to the securities is unclear, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rules to an investment in the securities.
Possible Change in Law
In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of securities. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are actively considering whether the holder of an instrument, such as the securities, should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of such securities would ultimately be required to accrue current income and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” under Section 1260 of the Code described above under “Section 1260” should be applied to such instruments. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance and potential impact of the above considerations.
Section 1297
We will not attempt to ascertain whether any Market Measure or constituents of a Market Measure would be treated as a PFIC. In general, if a U.S. taxpayer holds an interest in a PFIC, such U.S. taxpayer is required to report any gain on disposition of an interest in such PFIC as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain. Such gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. taxpayer’s holding period, and the amount allocated to each year (other than the year of disposition or any year before the relevant company became a PFIC) would be subject to tax at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and a non-deductible interest charge at the federal underpayment rate would be imposed on the tax on such amount. In the event that the securities reference any PFIC or an ETF that owns any shares in a PFIC, the application of the PFIC rules to the securities would be unclear, and it is possible that U.S. holders of securities could be subject to the PFIC rules to the extent that the securities directly or indirectly references shares in one or more PFICs. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to an investment in the securities.
Alternative Treatments
Because of the absence of authority regarding the appropriate tax characterization of your securities, it is possible that the IRS could seek to characterize your securities in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are materially different from those described above and could materially and adversely affect the timing and/or character of income or loss with respect to the securities.
Contingent Payment Debt Instrument. If the securities have a term greater than one year, it is possible that the securities could be treated as a debt instrument subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. If the securities are so treated, you would be required to accrue interest income over the term of your securities based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms and conditions similar to your securities. You would recognize gain or loss upon the taxable disposition of your securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount you receive at such time and your adjusted basis in your securities. In general, your adjusted basis in your securities would be equal to the amount you paid for your securities, increased by the amount of interest you previously accrued with respect to your securities. Any gain you recognize upon the taxable disposition of your securities would be ordinary income and any loss recognized by you at such time would be ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included in income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of your securities, and, thereafter, would be capital loss.
Contingent Short-Term Debt Instrument. Similarly, if the securities have a term of one year or less, it is possible that the securities could be treated as a debt instrument subject to special rules for short-term debt instruments. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization.
Other Alternative Treatments. The IRS could also possibly assert that (i) you should be treated as owning the Underlying Stock, the Fund or any component of an Index, (ii) any gain or loss that you recognize upon the taxable disposition of the securities should be treated as ordinary gain or loss or short-term capital gain or loss, (iii) you should be required to accrue interest income over the term of

PS-35

your securities, (iv) you should be required to include in ordinary income an amount equal to any increase in the Underlying Stock, Fund or any component of an Index that is attributable to ordinary income that is realized in respect of any of the foregoing, such as interest, dividends or net-rental income or (v) you should be required to recognize taxable gain upon a rollover, rebalancing or change, if any, of any component of an Index or Fund. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In the case of bearish securities, the IRS could also possibly assert that you should be treated as entering into a short sale of the Underlying Stock, the Fund or any component of an Index, in which case any gain or loss on such short sale could be short-term capital gain or loss, regardless of the holding period of the securities.
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income
U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the securities, to the extent of their net investment income or undistributed net investment income (as the case may be) that when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return, or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult their advisors with respect to their consequences with respect to the 3.8% Medicare tax.
Information Reporting with Respect to Specified Foreign Financial Assets
U.S. holders may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to their securities if they do not hold their securities in an account maintained by a financial institution and the aggregate value of their securities and certain other “specified foreign financial assets” (applying certain attribution rules) exceeds an applicable threshold. Significant penalties can apply if a U.S. holder is required to disclose its securities and fails to do so.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Payments on the securities as well as proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the securities will be subject to information reporting unless you are an “exempt recipient” and may also be subject to backup withholding at the rate specified in the Code if you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer number, if you are a U.S. holder) or meet certain other conditions. If you are a non-U.S. holder and you provide a properly executed and fully completed applicable IRS Form W-8, you will generally establish an exemption from backup withholding.
Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) generally imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable payments” (i.e., certain U.S.-source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits, and income, and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type which can produce U.S. -source interest or dividends) and “passthru payments” (i.e., certain payments attributable to withholdable payments) made to certain foreign financial institutions (and certain of their affiliates) unless the payee foreign financial institution agrees (or is required), among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the relevant affiliate) and to annually report certain information about such account. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or do not certify that they do not have any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA will generally apply to certain “withholdable payments”, will not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition, and will apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are published. If withholding is required, we (or the applicable paying agent) will not be required to pay additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Holders should consult their tax advisors about the application of FATCA, in particular if they may be classified as financial institutions (or if they hold their securities through a foreign entity) under the FATCA rules.

Proposed Legislation
In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders of securities purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the securities regardless of whether there are any interest payments over the term of the securities. Furthermore, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments that, if enacted, would have required instruments such as the securities to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
It is impossible to predict whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bills would affect the tax treatment of your securities. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding any possible changes in law and whether any such change may adversely affect the tax treatment of your securities.
Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible application of Section 1260 of the Code, and alternative treatments and the issues presented by Notice 2008-2) and of holding any shares of the Underlying Stock or Fund received, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction (including that of the Underlying Stock Issuer and those of the issuers of the components of any Index and or the jurisdictions of Underlying Stock Issuer or any issuer of a component of an Index ).

CERTAIN BENEFIT PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
ERISA imposes certain requirements on “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to ERISA, and on entities such as collective investment funds and insurance company separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”), and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to ERISA Plans. Each fiduciary of an ERISA Plan should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the securities. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan.
In addition, Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan, as well as those plans that are not subject to ERISA but which are subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, such as individual retirement accounts (or IRAs), including entities whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”) and certain persons (referred to as “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under Section 4975 of the Code) having certain relationships to such Plans, unless a statutory or administrative exemption is applicable to the transaction. Governmental and other plans may be subject to similar prohibitions. Therefore, a plan fiduciary considering purchasing securities should consider whether the purchase or holding of such instruments might constitute a prohibited transaction.
The Bank and certain of its affiliates each may be considered a “party in interest” or a “disqualified person” with respect to many Plans by reason of, for example, the Bank (or its affiliate) providing services to such plans. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code may arise, for example, if securities are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan, and with respect to which the Bank or any of its affiliates is a ‘‘party in interest” or a “disqualified person”, unless those securities are acquired under an exemption for transactions effected on behalf of that Plan. The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for prohibited transactions that may arise from the purchase or holding of the securities. These exemptions are PTCE 84‑14 (for transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), 90‑1 (for insurance company pooled separate accounts), 91‑38 (for bank collective investment funds), 95‑60 (for insurance company general accounts) and 96‑23 (for transactions managed by in‑house asset managers). Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Internal Revenue Code also may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of the securities, provided neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates have or exercise any discretionary authority or control with respect to the investment of the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction or render investment advice with respect to those assets, and the Plan pays no more and receives no less than “adequate consideration” in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.
In addition to the prohibited transaction considerations noted above, ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of Labor, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “plan asset regulations”), provide that if a covered plan invests in an “equity interest” of an entity that is neither a “publicly-offered security” (as defined in the plan asset regulations) nor a security issued by an investment company registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the covered plan’s assets will include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the entity’s underlying assets, unless it is established that the entity is an “operating company” or that “benefit plan investors” (within the meaning of the plan asset regulations) own less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests in the entity. An “operating company” is defined under the plan asset regulations as an entity that is primarily engaged, directly or through a majority owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in the production or sale of a product or service other than the investment of capital. It is not anticipated that the securities will constitute “publicly-offered securities” or that the Bank will register under the Investment Company Act, and the Bank will not monitor whether “benefit plan investors” will own 25% or more of the total value of any class of equity interests in the Bank.  That said, while no assurance can be given, we believe that the Bank should qualify as an “operating company” within the meaning of the plan asset regulations. If the underlying assets of the Bank were deemed to be “plan assets” of a covered plan, this would result, among other things, in the application of the prudence and other fiduciary responsibility standards of ERISA to activities engaged in by the Bank and the possibility that certain transactions in which the Bank might seek to engage could constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA and the Code.
The person making the decision on behalf of a Plan or a governmental or other plan shall be deemed, on behalf of itself and any such plan, by purchasing and holding the securities, or (when relevant) exercising any rights related thereto, to represent that (a) such purchase, holding, disposition and (when relevant) exercise of any rights related to the securities will not constitute or result in a non‑exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code (or, with respect to a governmental or other plan, under any similar applicable law or regulation) and (b) neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates is a “fiduciary” (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) with respect to the purchaser or holder in connection with such person’s acquisition, disposition or holding of the securities, or (when relevant) any exercise of any rights related thereto or otherwise as a result of any exercise by the Bank or any of its affiliates of any rights in connection with the securities.
If you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a Plan or a governmental or other plan, and propose to invest in securities, you should consult your legal counsel.
