This maximum seven-year and three-week product features the potential to mature on any of the plan's anniversaries from the first year onwards, returning the capital investment in full, plus an 8.25% gain for each year the plan has been in force. The plan will mature early in the event that both the S&P 500 Index and EURO STOXX 50 Index close at, or above a pre-defined reducing Reference Level. The Reference Level in years one and two is 105% of the Initial Index Level, 100% in year three, 95% in year four, 90% in year five, 85% in year six and finally 70% in year seven.
If the product does not mature early, and at the end of the term one or both of the indices closes below 70% of their respective initial levels, but both are no more than 35% lower; return of investors capital only. If the Final Index Level of one or both of the two Indices is more than 35% below its respective Initial Index Level, investors will suffer a reduction to their invested capital equal to the percentage the Final Index Level of the worst performing Index is below its respective Initial Index Level. For example, if the Final Index Levels are 10% up for one Index and 45% down for the other, investors will suffer a reduction to their capital of 45%.
