PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This Renewable Opportunity Note with Contingent Coupon (ROC with Bonus Coupon) is a USD-denominated note and has a
maximum tenor of 12 months.
It has a total of 12 Autocall (i.e. early redemption) observation dates (Autocall Observation Dates) which occur monthly. If, on
an Autocall Observation Date the performance of iShares Asia Trust iShares FTSE/Xinhua A50 China Tracker is equal to or
greater than the specified Callable Level (the Autocall Event), the investment terminates and the note will be redeemed at
100.00% plus 30.50% *1/12 multiplied by the number of monthly periods which have passed prior to the occurrence of the
Autocall Event.
If no Autocall Event occurs by maturity, the investor will receive an amount computed as follows:
* if iShares Asia Trust iShares FTSE/Xinhua A50 China Tracker has never closed below the KI Price (KI) during the note tenor,
client will receive an amount equivalent to 100.00% investment amount plus a bonus coupon of 30.50% in cash
* if iShares Asia Trust iShares FTSE/Xinhua A50 China Tracker has ever closed below the KI during the note tenor (the KI
Event) and the closing price of iShares Asia Trust iShares FTSE/Xinhua A50 China Tracker at maturity is less than 89.00% of
the initial price on the trade date, client will be obliged to take delivery of the stock at initial price. Computation of the quantity
of stock to be delivered will be affected by the foreign exchange rate at maturity. (Client will suffer principal loss in this case)
Benefits
* Potential high return of 30.50% per year
* If neither the Autocall Event nor the KI Event has occurred, the note will be redeemed at 100% plus 30.50% Bonus coupon
Risks

spot price and multiplied by FX rate on the valuation date. Odd shares will be settled in cash.
* You bear the risk of default of the Issuer
* Reinvestment risk if the note is early redeemed
* Foreign exchange risk if there is physical delivery of the Underlying as the Underlying and the notes are not denominated in the
same currency.
