Swiss Withholding Tax This product is not subject to the Swiss Issuer Withholding Tax. It depends on the jurisdiction of the issuer whether a foreign issuer withholding tax applies. The tax information only provides a general overview over the Swiss tax consequences linked to this product based on the tax laws and the practice of the tax administration at the time of issue. Tax laws and the practice of tax administrations may change, possibly with retroactive effect. Withholding related to 871 (m) of the U.S. Tax Code A 30% withholding tax is imposed on certain “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities. The withholding tax can apply even if the instrument does not provide for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2016. However, on December 2, 2016, the IRS issued Notice 2016-76, which states that the Treasury Department and the IRS intend to amend the applicability dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that the withholding tax will apply to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments that have a delta of one (“delta one specified equity- linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2017. The Issuer has determined that the Certificates are delta one specified equity-linked instruments and, therefore, will be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. The Issuer will not pay any additional amounts with respect to any amounts withheld. Investors in the Certificates should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the withholding tax to their Securities and the availability of any reduction in tax pursuant to an income tax treaty. No assurance can be given that Investors will be able to successfully claim a reduction in tax pursuant to an income tax treaty. In addition, no assurance can be given that Investors will be able to successfully claim a credit on their tax returns for any tax withheld.
