● NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK —
The non-U.S. equity securities included in or held by the Underlyings have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in
securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the home countries and/or the
securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities. Also, with respect to equity securities
that are not listed in the U.S., there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions
than there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC.
● THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND —
Because the prices of the non-U.S. equity securities held by the Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating
the net asset value of the Fund, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the
currencies in which the non-U.S. equity securities held by the Fund trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which
those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities held by the Fund
denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those
currencies, the price of the Fund will be adversely affected and any payment on the notes may be reduced.
● RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX —
All or substantially all of the equity securities included in the Index are issued by companies whose primary line of business is
directly associated with the technology sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more
adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to
securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely
heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence,
government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with
lower production costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of
smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent
on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies
in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of
qualified personnel. These factors could affect the technology sector and could affect the value of the equity securities included in
the Index and the level of the Index during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
● RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOLD AND SILVER MINING INDUSTRIES WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND —
All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly
associated with the gold and/or silver mining industries. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and
be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these industries than a different
investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Investments related to gold and silver are considered
speculative and are affected by a variety of factors. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition
of gold and silver mining companies. Also, gold and silver mining companies are highly dependent on the price of gold and silver
bullion, respectively, but may also be adversely affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial and political factors. The
price of gold and silver may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time, so the Fund's share price may be more volatile than
other types of investments. Fluctuation in the prices of gold and silver may be due to a number of factors, including changes in
inflation, changes in currency exchange rates and changes in industrial and commercial demand for metals (including fabricator
demand). Additionally, increased environmental or labor costs may depress the value of metal investments. These factors could
affect the gold and silver mining industries and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the Fund and the price of the
Fund during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
● THE FUND HAS RECENTLY TRANSITIONED TO TRACKING A NEW UNDERLYING INDEX, WHICH DIFFERS FROM THE
PRIOR UNDERLYING INDEX IN IMPORTANT WAYS —
Prior to September 19, 2025, the Fund sought to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield
performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. After market close on September 19, 2025, the Fund’s benchmark index
became the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index. The MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index differs from the NYSE Arca Gold
Miners Index in important ways, including use of different market capitalization criteria for inclusion in the index and different
weighting schemes, and the composition of the Fund has changed as a result of this transition.
When evaluating the historical performance of the Fund, you should bear in mind that the index tracked by the Fund during the
historical period shown in this pricing supplement before market close on September 19, 2025 is different from the index that the
Fund tracks currently. The historical performance of the Fund might have been meaningfully different (positive or negative) had the
Fund tracked the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index before market close on September 19, 2025.
We cannot predict what effect these changes may have on the performance of the Fund. It is possible that these changes could
adversely affect the performance of the Fund and, in turn, your return on the notes.
● YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF EACH UNDERLYING—
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Underlyings and are contingent upon the performance of each
individual Underlying. Poor performance by either of the Underlyings over the term of the notes may result in the notes not being
automatically called on a Review Date, may negatively affect whether you will receive a Contingent Interest Payment on any
Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other
Underlying.
● YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING UNDERLYING.
● THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE—
If the Final Value of either Underlying is less than its Trigger Value and the notes have not been automatically called, the benefit
provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Lesser Performing Underlying.
