performance of the Index, and therefore, the return on the notes, as the substitute index or futures contract may perform
significantly better or worse than the original Portfolio Constituent. For example, the substitute or successor Portfolio Constituent
may have higher fees or worse performance than the original Portfolio Constituent.
Moreover, the policies of the index sponsor of the substitute index or futures contract concerning the methodology and calculation
of the substitute index or futures contract, including decisions regarding additions, deletions or substitutions of the assets
underlying the substitute index or futures contract could affect the level or price of the substitute index or futures contract and
therefore the value of the notes. The amount payable on the notes and their market value could also be affected if the sponsor of a
substitute index or the sponsor of the reference index of a substitute futures contract discontinues or suspends calculation or
dissemination of the relevant index, in which case it may become difficult to determine the market value of the notes. The sponsor
of the substitute index or futures contract will have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising such substitute
index or futures contract.
● EACH PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDERLYING
FUTURES CONTRACTS —
The Portfolio Constituents each track the returns of the Underlying Futures Contracts. The price of an Underlying Futures Contract
depends not only on the price of the underlying asset referenced by the Underlying Futures Contract, but also on a range of other
factors, including but not limited to changing supply and demand relationships, interest rates, governmental and regulatory policies
and the policies of the exchanges on which the Underlying Futures Contracts trade. In addition, the futures markets are subject to
temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of
speculators and government regulation and intervention. These factors and others can cause the prices of the Underlying Futures
Contracts to be volatile and could adversely affect the level of each Portfolio Constituent and the Index and any payments on, and
the value of, your notes.
● SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET TRADING IN THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR NOTES —
Futures markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, the
participation of speculators, and government regulation and intervention. In addition, futures exchanges generally have regulations
that limit the amount of the Underlying Futures Contract price fluctuations that may occur in a single day. These limits are
generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result
of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be
made at a price beyond the limit, or trading may be limited for a set period of time. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading
in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at potentially disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances
could delay the calculation of the level of each Portfolio Constituent and could adversely affect the level of each Portfolio
Constituent and the Index and any payments on, and the value of, your notes.
● AN INCREASE IN THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN THE
PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THAT PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT —
Futures exchanges require market participants to post collateral in order to open and keep open positions in the Underlying
Futures Contracts. If an exchange increases the amount of collateral required to be posted to hold positions in the Underlying
Futures Contracts, market participants who are unwilling or unable to post additional collateral may liquidate their positions, which
may cause the price or liquidity of the relevant Underlying Futures Contracts to decline significantly. As a result, the level of the
relevant Portfolio Constituent and the Index and any payments on, and the value of, the notes may be adversely affected.
● THE INDEX MAY IN THE FUTURE INCLUDE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS THAT ARE NOT TRADED ON
REGULATED FUTURES EXCHANGES —
The Index, through its exposure to the Portfolio Constituents, is currently based solely on futures contracts traded on regulated
futures exchanges (referred to in the United States as “designated contract markets”). If these exchange-traded futures contracts
cease to exist, or if the calculation agent for the Portfolio Constituents substitutes an Underlying Futures Contract in certain
circumstances, the Index may in the future include futures contract or over-the-counter contracts traded on trading facilities that are
subject to lesser degrees of regulation or, in some cases, no substantive regulation. As a result, trading in such contracts, and the
manner in which prices and volumes are reported by the relevant trading facilities, may not be subject to the provisions of, and the
protections afforded by, the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, or other applicable statutes and related regulations that govern trading
on regulated U.S. futures exchanges or similar statutes and regulations that govern trading on regulated non-U.S. futures
exchanges. In addition, many electronic trading facilities have only recently initiated trading and do not have significant trading
histories. As a result, the trading of contracts on such facilities, and the inclusion of such contracts in the Index, through its
exposure to the Portfolio Constituents, may be subject to certain risks not presented by the Underlying Futures Contracts, including
risks related to the liquidity and price histories of the relevant contracts.
