knowledge of the Issuer, having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, the
information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything

No Investment Advice
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk
Factors" in this document and the "Risk Factors" described in the Registration Document. The Issuer
is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty and not as an investor's
financial adviser or fiduciary in any transaction. The purchase of Securities involves substantial risks
and an investment in Securities is only suitable for investors who (either alone or in conjunction with
an appropriate financial adviser) fully evaluate the risks and merits of such an investment in the
Securities and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
Therefore, before making an investment decision, prospective investors of Securities should ensure
that they understand the nature of the Securities and the extent of their exposure to risks and
consider carefully, in the light of their own financial circumstances, financial condition and investment
objectives, all the information set forth in this document. This document cannot disclose whether the
Securities are a suitable investment in relation to any investor's particular circumstances; therefore
investors may wish to consult their own financial, tax, legal or other advisers as they consider
appropriate and carefully review and consider such an investment decision in the light of the
information set forth in this document.
Listing
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Securities to be listed on the
Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the regulated market of

the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. No assurances can be given that such application for listing and
admission to trading will be granted.
Interest Amounts are contingent on the performance of the Asset
The Interest Amounts (which may be zero) payable under the Securities are contingent amounts that
will depend on the value of the Asset on each of the specified Observation Dates and a participation
factor that adjusts downwards over time. The reduction in the participation factor will mean that an
investor will have less exposure to any positive performance of the Asset on each successive
Observation Date and may therefore receive lower Interest Amounts (if any). As a comparison is
made between the value of the Asset on the relevant Observation Date and the value of the Asset on
the Initial Valuation Date, investors will only participate in the positive return of the Asset on the
relevant Observation Date that is greater than the Asset's value on the Initial Valuation Date.
The formula used to calculate the Interest Amount payable in respect of a Security may be
summarised as the product of (i) the Specified Denomination, (ii) the Participation and (iii) the ratio of
(a) the positive performance of the Asset from the Initial Valuation Date to the relevant Observation
Date, to (b) the number of years from the Initial Valuation Date to the relevant Observation Date
(being the "N(t)").
If the Official Net Asset Value of the Asset on an Observation Date is:
(i)
greater than the Official Net Asset Value of the Asset on the Initial Valuation Date, then an
Interest Amount will be payable on the immediately following Interest Payment Date. If an
Interest Amount is payable, the value of such Interest Amount is a function of (a) the number
of years from the Initial Valuation Date to the relevant Observation Date (i.e., the N(t)) (and
the value of such Interest Amount is reduced in proportion to such period) and (b) the amount
by which the Official Net Asset Value of the Asset on such Observation Date exceeds the
Official Net Asset Value of the Asset on the Initial Valuation Date (not the amount by which
the Official Net Asset Value of the Asset on such Observation Date exceeds the Official Net
Asset Value of the Asset on the immediately preceding Observation Date). The higher the
Official Net Asset Value on such Observation Date, the higher the Interest Amount that will be
received by the Securityholder on the immediately following Interest Payment Date; or
(ii)
lower than or equal to the Official Net Asset Value of the Asset on the Initial Valuation Date,
then the Securityholder will not receive an Interest Amount on the immediately following
Interest Payment Date.
See risk factor 4(a) (Risks relating to the Interest Amount(s)) for more information.
Potential for Discretionary Determinations by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent under the
Securities
Under the terms and conditions of the Securities, following the occurrence of certain events outside of
its control, the Issuer or the Calculation Agent (as the case may be) may determine in its discretion to
take one of the actions available to it in order to deal with the impact of such event on the Securities
or the Issuer and/or the Hedging Entity, or both. It is possible that any such discretionary
determination by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent could have a material adverse impact on the
value of the Securities.
There are two key broad types of external events which could trigger a discretionary determination to
be made by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent (as the case may be): (a) external events affecting the
4



Important Notices
Asset and (b) external events affecting the Issuer's and/or the Hedging Entity's hedging
arrangements. However, investors should note that, under the terms and conditions of the Securities,
there are other types of events which might trigger a discretionary determination by the Issuer. For
example, if the Issuer's obligations under the Securities or its related hedging arrangements become
or will become illegal, the Issuer may early redeem the Securities.
(a)
External events which affect the Asset: The fundamental investment objective of the
Securities is to allow an investor to gain an economic exposure to the Asset. If the Asset is
materially impacted by an unexpected event ­ for example, the investment objectives,
strategies, restrictions and requirements of the Asset are materially modified or there is a
sub-division, consolidation, reclassification, a distribution or dividend of the shares or units
in the Asset ­ then it may not be possible to achieve the investment objective of the
Securities based on the original terms and conditions of the Securities. There are many
different external events that may impact the Asset.
(b)
External events which affect the Issuer's or the Hedging Entity's hedging arrangements:
The Issuer and/or the Hedging Entity will enter into hedging arrangements in order to
manage the Issuer's exposure in relation to its payment obligations under the Securities
and to enable it to issue the Securities at the relevant price and on the relevant terms. As
the interest amount(s) (if any) payable by the Issuer under the Securities will depend on the
performance of the Asset, the hedging arrangements may comprise holding the Asset
directly, entering into derivative contracts with counterparties to receive a corresponding
economic exposure to the Asset or to hedge the currency or price risk in relation to the
Asset or the Securities. Accordingly, if an external event occurs which negatively impacts
the Issuer's or the Hedging Entity's hedging arrangements, or if there is a material change
in any arrangement between the Hedging Entity and the Asset or the relevant Fund
Manager in relation to the Issuer's hedging arrangements, the Issuer or the Calculation
Agent (as the case may be) has available to it options which it may select in its discretion in
order to deal with the impact of such event.
Broadly, the Issuer or the Calculation Agent (as the case may be) may in its discretion determine that
one of the following options shall apply following the occurrence of an external event described
above:
(a)
Adjustments to the variables used to calculate the return under the Securities: The Issuer or
the Calculation Agent (as the case may be) has discretion to make adjustments to the Early
Redemption Amount, if applicable, or any Interest Amount and any determination,
estimation or calculation used to calculate such amount to account for the economic effect
of the external event on the Securities. This could result in a reduced return on the
Securities than would otherwise be received.
(b)
Substitution of the Asset: Following an "Asset Substitution Event" in relation to the Asset,
the Issuer may substitute the original Asset with one or more replacement funds satisfying
the relevant criteria set out in the terms and conditions and/or make adjustments to the
terms and conditions to account for the economic effect of the "Asset Substitution Event"
and/or replacement of the original Asset. Any such substitution and potential adjustment
could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Securities. However, the Issuer is
not required to substitute the original Asset and/or make adjustments to the terms and
conditions and may instead waive the "Asset Substitution Event" or take the action
described in paragraph (c) below.
5



Important Notices
(c)
Payment of the Defeasance Additional Maturity Amount on maturity instead of payments of
Interest Amounts: Following an "Asset Substitution Event", the Issuer may declare that no
further Interest Amounts shall be payable with effect from the Defeasance Date and the
Defeasance Additional Maturity Amount shall be payable on the Maturity Date (for the
avoidance of doubt, together with the Final Redemption Amount). The Defeasance
Additional Maturity Amount (which may be greater than zero or may be zero) will be
determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion and is to be based on, inter alia, a realisable
value of the Securities as at the relevant Defeasance Date, and may be less than the
Interest Amounts otherwise payable under the Securities.
The Issuer or the Calculation Agent (as the case may be) will make any discretionary determinations
strictly in accordance with the terms of the applicable provisions set out in the terms and conditions of
the Securities. In considering whether and how to make such a discretionary determination, the Issuer
or the Calculation Agent (as the case may be) shall act in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner. Further, the Issuer or the Calculation Agent (as the case may be) will ensure that
any such determination is made by it in compliance with its applicable regulatory obligations, including
that of achieving fair treatment for Securityholders. Any such determinations will be notified to
Securityholders.
See risk factors 3(f) (The Securities may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturity), 4(c)
(Consequences of Asset Adjustment Events), 4(d) (Consequences of Asset Disruption Events) and
4(e) (Consequences of Asset Substitution Events) and the section entitled "Economic Proposition" for
more information.

Summary
Legal and regulatory developments
Financial institutions across the globe have been under significant
pressure to adapt their business models as legal requirements
became increasingly stringent.
The evolving regulatory framework and significant regulatory
developments have fundamentally changed the business and
competitive landscape of the industry.
One example of significant change affecting the industry is the
phasing-in of higher minimum capital requirements under Basel III
beginning in 2013 in some countries, including Switzerland. Banks
deemed systemically important will be required to hold additional
capital by the beginning of 2019 as part of efforts to prevent another
financial crisis.
Although some of the new regulatory measures require further rule-
making and will be implemented over time, the Issuer expects
increased capital and liquidity requirements and derivatives regulation
to result in reduced risk-taking and increased transparency.
