Scenario 4 - Worst Case Scenario

If there is a substantial depreciation in the market value of the Linked Currency, the principal and interest to be repaid in the Linked Currency on the Maturity Date may become valueless. In the worst case, investors could lose the entire principal amount.

Scenario 5 - The Bank Becomes Insolvent or Defaults on Its Obligations

If the Bank becomes insolvent during the tenor of this product or defaults on its obligations under this product, investors could lose the entire principal amount and become an unsecured creditor of the Bank, regardless of the performance of the Linked Currency.
