Linked Stock(s): A single or a basket of stock(s) listed in Hong Kong or United States stock exchanges.

Callable Feature: Some ELIs may be embedded with callable feature. These ELIs may terminate early if the linked stock(s) reaches a predefined level at specified observation date(s), returning the original investment plus coupon if it meets the coupon payment condition.

Expiry Payoff: Depending on product features and performance of linked stock(s), the final redemption amount may generally be the original investment amount and potential coupon (if any), minimum redemption amount or delivery of the linked single stock or the worst performing stock if linked to a basket of stocks.
