Risks
This is an overview of the main risks associated with this investment. Further (and more complete) details of the main risks associated with this security are set out in the PDS.
- Capital invested in the Units is at risk: There is no capital protection or guarantee of financial return in respect of your investment in the Units.
- Credit exposure to Reference Entity: The Units will reference the credit of the Reference Entity, therefore the Units include a risk of capital loss in part or in whole, as the result of Credit Event(s) occurring with respect to the Reference Entity.
- Credit Rating: Investors should be aware that credit ratings do not constitute a guarantee of the quality of the Units or the Reference Entity.
- Secondary Offer Period: Investors who purchase Units in the Secondary Offer Period at an Issue Price greater than the Initial Issue Price of $100.00 will receive a lower overall return, as the Final Value and Coupons are calculated with respect to the Initial Issue Price of $100.00 per Unit.
- Performance of the Reference Entity: Historical performance of the Reference Entity should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Reference Entity during the Investment Term.
- Value of the Units before the Maturity Date: The Final Value of the Units is calculated by reference to the Reference Entity and its overall credit worthiness between the First Credit Event Occurrence Date to the Scheduled Last Credit Event Occurrence Date. The market value of the Units before the Maturity Date will be determined by many factors and may be less that what you paid for the Units.
- Liquidity risk: You may not be able to realise your investment when you want to. The Issuer Buy-Back facility is at the discretion of the Issuer. Issuer Buy-Back requests are determined in the Issuer’s discretion.
- Early Maturity: The Units may mature early following an Early Maturity Event, including as a result of an Adjustment Event or Market Disruption Event or if a Credit Event or a Compulsory Early Redemption occurs or if your request for an Issuer Buy-Back is accepted.
- Indirect Investment Risk: Compared to a direct investment (including bonds) in the Reference Entity, the investor will not be entitled to receive dividend or other payments (if any) nor have any voting rights for corporate actions to do with the Reference Entity, including if a Credit Event occurs
- Counterparty Risk: Investors are subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparty.
For a full explanation of Key Risks please refer to the Term Sheet PDS. Investors should also refer to Section 2 “Risks” of the Master PDS.
