General
Key Terms
Payment at Maturity: |
The payment at maturity, in excess of any accrued and unpaid interest, is based on the performance of the applicable Reference Stock. You will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest at maturity, unless: |
|
|
the applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable Initial Share Price; and | |
|
on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock is less than the applicable Initial Share Price by more than the applicable Protection Amount. | |
If the conditions described in both (1) and (2) are satisfied, at maturity you will receive, in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest, instead of the principal amount of your notes, the number of shares of the applicable Reference Stock equal to the applicable Physical Delivery Amount (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof). Fractional shares will be paid in cash. The market value of the Physical Delivery Amount or the Cash Value thereof will most likely be substantially less than the principal amount of your notes, and may be zero. | ||

This pricing supplement relates to four (4) separate note offerings. Each issue of offered notes is linked to one, and only one, Reference Stock. The purchaser of a note will acquire a security linked to a single Reference Stock (not to a basket or index that includes another Reference Stock). You may participate in any of the four (4) note offerings or, at your election, in two or more of the offerings. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify any offering and to reject orders in whole or in part. While each note offering relates only to a single Reference Stock identified on the cover page, you should not construe that fact as a recommendation of the merits of acquiring an investment linked to that Reference Stock (or any other Reference Stock) or as to the suitability of an investment in the notes.

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in Risk Factors in the accompanying product supplement no. 34-A-II, as the notes 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 notes.

Note that you will receive at maturity any accrued and unpaid interest in cash, in addition to either shares of the Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof) or the principal amount of your note in cash. Also note that if you receive the Physical Delivery Amount, the total value of payment received at maturity shown in the table above includes the value of any fractional shares, which will be paid in cash. |
The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.
Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $42.65 but the Final Share Price is $89.57. Because the Final Share Price of $89.57 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $85.30, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $42.65 and the Final Share Price is $81.04. Because the Final Share Price of $81.04 is less than the Initial Share Price of $85.30 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $81.04, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $950.06.
Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $42.65, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $42.65 is less than the Initial Share Price of $85.30 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $42.65, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.
Example 4: The Final Share Price of $68.24 is less than the Initial Share Price of $85.30 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $68.24 is less than the Initial Share Price of $85.30.
Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of $47.125 over the term of the notes. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the Initial Share Price. On the Pricing Date, the Initial Share Price was $85.25, the Protection Amount was $17.05 and the Physical Delivery Amount was 11.7302 shares, in each case subject to adjustments.

The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.
Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $2.48 but the Final Share Price is $5.21. Because the Final Share Price of $5.21 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $4.96, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $2.48 and the Final Share Price is $4.71. Because the Final Share Price of $4.71 is less than the Initial Share Price of $4.96 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $4.71, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $949.60.
Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $2.48, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $2.48 is less than the Initial Share Price of $4.96 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $2.48, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.
Example 4: The Final Share Price of $3.72 is less than the Initial Share Price of $4.96 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $3.72 is less than the Initial Share Price of $4.96.
Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of $36.875 over the term of the notes. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the Initial Share Price.

The following table illustrates hypothetical payments at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes linked to the ADSs of LDK Solar, based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices of the Reference Stock and assuming that the closing price of the Reference Stock declines in the manner set forth in the columns titled Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period and Hypothetical lowest closing price expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price during the Monitoring Period. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. For this table of hypothetical payments at maturity, we have also assumed the following:
the Initial Share Price: |
$11.70 |
the Protection Amount (in U.S. dollars): $4.10 |
the Interest Rate: |
5.00% (equivalent to 20.00% per annum) |
the Protection Amount: 35.00% |

Note that you will receive at maturity any accrued and unpaid interest in cash, in addition to either shares of the Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof) or the principal amount of your note in cash. Also note that if you receive the Physical Delivery Amount, the total value of payment received at maturity shown in the table above includes the value of any fractional shares, which will be paid in cash. |
The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.
Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $5.85 but the Final Share Price is $12.29. Because the Final Share Price of $12.29 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $11.70, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $5.85 and the Final Share Price is $11.12. Because the Final Share Price of $11.12 is less than the Initial Share Price of $11.70 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $11.12, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $950.43.
Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $5.85, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $5.85 is less than the Initial Share Price of $11.70 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $5.85, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.
Example 4: The Final Share Price of $7.60 is less than the Initial Share Price of $11.70 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $7.60 is less than the Initial Share Price of $11.70.
Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of $50.00 over the term of the notes. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the Initial Share Price. On the Pricing Date, the Initial Share Price was $11.71, the Protection Amount was $4.0985 and the Physical Delivery Amount was 85.3971 shares, in each case subject to adjustments.

The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.
Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $27.75 but the Final Share Price is $58.28. Because the Final Share Price of $58.28 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $55.50, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $27.75 and the Final Share Price is $52.73. Because the Final Share Price of $52.73 is less than the Initial Share Price of $55.50 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $52.73, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $950.09.
Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $27.75, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $27.75 is less than the Initial Share Price of $55.50 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $27.75, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.
Example 4: The Final Share Price of $44.40 is less than the Initial Share Price of $55.50 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $44.40 is less than the Initial Share Price of $55.50.
Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of $35.625 over the term of the notes. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the Initial Share Price. On the Pricing Date, the Initial Share Price was $55.40, the Protection Amount was $11.08 and the Physical Delivery Amount was 18.0505 shares, in each case subject to adjustments.
