2 The Conditional Capital Protection only applies to Investments held on the relevant Maturity Date and provided no Early Maturity or Barrier Event occurs.

3 Potential returns in Alpha RESULTS are linked to the Lowest Priced Reference Asset. Hence Investors should be aware that their exposure is not based on the average performance of the relevant Reference Asset Portfolio and therefore the negative performance of one Reference Asset may not be offset by the positive performance of other Reference Assets within that portfolio.
