OFFERING DOCUMENTS
The conditions of the Products are contained in offering documents prepared by the relevant issuer. The offering documents comprise either a base prospectus (which may be supplemented from time to time) and final terms of the offer, a key information document (if applicable) or an offering circular and a pricing supplement (the “Offering Documents”).

INVESTING IN PRODUCTS
Persons interested in acquiring any interest in a Product referred to on this section of the Website should inform themselves as to (i) the legal requirements within the countries of their nationality, residence, ordinary residence or domicile; (ii) any foreign exchange control requirement which they might encounter; and (iii) the income tax and other tax consequences which might be relevant to the acquisition, holding or disposal of such investment. You must make your own independent assessment as to your eligibility to invest in any Product referred to on this section of the Website under the laws of your country of nationality, residence, ordinary residence or domicile.
RISK WARNINGS
Any investment involves risk. Products can be high risk investments which are also subject to general market risks. You should not enter into any transactions unless you have fully understood all such risks and have independently determined that such transactions are appropriate for you. In this respect please note that:
• any investment in Products may involve substantial risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, market risk, credit risk, political risk, company risk and current value;
• the price and value of the Products are not guaranteed;
• the value of the Products may fluctuate significantly between the purchase date of the Product and maturity;
• the value of the Products will be affected by the price or levels of the underlying asset which may fluctuate substantially and expose the Product to losses;
• the value of Products can go down as well as up and you may receive back less than you initially invested;
• price fluctuations in the corresponding subscription items influence the value of the Products;
• Product prices are volatile. If the basic value moves contrary to the anticipated direction, losses in connection with the Product may be proportionately greater than losses in connection with the basic value;
• Products generally have a limited term and may expire without value; investors should therefore reckon with losses to the amount of the original purchase price (and the transaction fees thus incurred);
• past performance is no reliable indicator for future performance. To the extent that this section of the Website contains any indications as to future performance, such forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance;
• the value of Products may be affected by changes in any relevant foreign exchange rates;
• Products may be subject to early redemption in certain circumstances, such as illegality and for tax reasons. In such circumstances, Products may be redeemed prior to the maturity date for substantially less than their original purchase price;
• tax assumptions may change if the law changes, and the value of tax relief (if any) will depend upon your individual circumstances. You should consult your own tax advisers in order to understand any applicable tax consequences;
• the market for Products may be limited due to a lack of liquidity or low trading volume. This means that there may be difficulty in selling them at a reasonable price and, in some circumstances; it may be difficult to sell them at any price. Investors should not rely on selling the Products at a particular time or for a particular amount;
• investors may not be able to hedge the risks involved with these investments. Investors could make equal losses on any hedging transactions as well as losses on the Products. Neither the issuer nor any affiliate provides any assurances or guarantee as to the performance of the Products and is not under any obligation to make a market in or to repurchase the Products; and
• the insolvency or inability to meet payment obligations of any institution providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as a counterparty may expose the Product to financial loss or delays in receiving monies due which may substantially affect the value of your investment.
The above list of risk factors is not complete and you may be subject to considerable risk when holding the Product. You must refer to the relevant Offering Documents with respect to individual Products for a full list of risk factors. We strongly recommend that you seek professional investment advice before making any investment decision.
