These securities are principal-protected structures linked to the S&P 500 index, offering annual returns of 3.30% to 3.71% at maturity, and are not listed nor covered by depositor protection.
Proceeds will be used for hedging activities including underlying asset transactions and derivative hedging to secure repayment.
