Prospective purchasers of the Notes have no rights with respect to the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund or Fund Interest Unitsin the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce FundA prospective purchaser of Notes has no rights with respect to the Fund Interest Units in the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fundincluding, without limitation, the right to receive divi<strong>de</strong>nds or other d<strong>is</strong>tributions. None of the Issuer or theAg<strong>en</strong>ts or any of their respective affiliates has performed any investigation or review of any <strong>en</strong>tities thatmanage the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund for the purpose of forming a view as to the merit of an investm<strong>en</strong>t linked to theRefer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund. None of the Issuer, any Ag<strong>en</strong>t or any of their respective affiliates have performed or willperform any investigation or review of any <strong>en</strong>tities that manage the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund from time to time,including any investigation of public filings of such <strong>en</strong>tities, for the purpose of forming a view as to thesuitability of an investm<strong>en</strong>t linked to the Net Asset Value per Fund Interest Unit and they make no guaranteeor express or implied warranty in respect of the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund, the Fund Manager and/or the Fund Adv<strong>is</strong>eror any other <strong>en</strong>tity. Accordingly, investors should not conclu<strong>de</strong> that the <strong>is</strong>sue by the Issuer of the Notes <strong>is</strong> anyform of investm<strong>en</strong>t recomm<strong>en</strong>dation or advice by any of the Issuer, any Ag<strong>en</strong>t or any of their respectiveaffiliates.Notes may have a Protection Amount but such Protection Amount applies only on the Maturity DateProspective investors should note that the Notes may have a minimum re<strong>de</strong>mption amount at maturity calledthe Protection Amount. There can be no assurance that the Notes will re<strong>de</strong>em above the minimum re<strong>de</strong>mptionamount. The return on the Notes will <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>d on the performance of the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund. If the Refer<strong>en</strong>ceFund does not perform in line with an investor’s view of expectations over the term of the Notes, such aninvestor in the Notes will not receive any return on its capital and may suffer a loss. Furthermore, such aninvestor may have lost the opportunity to earn the profit that it might have earned on a <strong>de</strong>posit or anyinvestm<strong>en</strong>t in fixed income securities of the same amount and the same duration. If the Notes are re<strong>de</strong>eme<strong>de</strong>arly by the Issuer, investors in the Notes may not be repaid the amount originally invested by them in theNotes.Notes may not be principal protectedThe investor should note that the Notes may not be principal protected. On the Maturity Date, the FinalRe<strong>de</strong>mption Amount per Note may be less than the initial investm<strong>en</strong>t amount and purchasers of Notes areexposed to full loss of principal.LeverageProspective investors should note that the Notes may expose investors to a substantial <strong>de</strong>gree of leverage. Th<strong>is</strong>leverage offers the pot<strong>en</strong>tial for significant profits but also <strong>en</strong>tails a high <strong>de</strong>gree of r<strong>is</strong>k, including the r<strong>is</strong>k ofsubstantial reduction in the value of the un<strong>de</strong>rlying. If the interest in an un<strong>de</strong>rlying increases, the curr<strong>en</strong>tleverage (i.e. the allocation of notional investm<strong>en</strong>ts in the un<strong>de</strong>rlying to the Fund Compon<strong>en</strong>t) may increaseand thus increase participation in any further r<strong>is</strong>es in value of the Fund Compon<strong>en</strong>t. Using the Cash Loan, theallocation to the Fund Compon<strong>en</strong>t can be increased up to a specified maximum of an amount. If the interest inan un<strong>de</strong>rlying falls, to the ext<strong>en</strong>t the Cash Loan has be<strong>en</strong> used, the un<strong>de</strong>rlying will have a leveraged and,therefore, magnified exposure to such fall, which may cause a proportionately higher loss of yield to aninvestor in a <strong>de</strong>clining market.Effect of reduction in leverageProspective investors should note that while a reduction in allocation to the Fund Compon<strong>en</strong>t and reduction ofthe Cash Loan will protect an investor against reduced performance of the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund at the time suchallocation adjustm<strong>en</strong>t <strong>is</strong> ma<strong>de</strong>, should the performance of the shares in the Refer<strong>en</strong>ce Fund subsequ<strong>en</strong>tlyimprove it will not be possible for an investor to take a corresponding ad<strong>van</strong>tage unless and until there <strong>is</strong> asubsequ<strong>en</strong>t allocation adjustm<strong>en</strong>t betwe<strong>en</strong> the Cash Compon<strong>en</strong>t and the Fund Compon<strong>en</strong>t, which may only21
