Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of each Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply
and investor demand, the market value of one share of each Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of that Fund.
During periods of market volatility, securities underlying each Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market
participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of that Fund and the liquidity of that Fund may be
adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of
a Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to
buy and sell shares of a Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of a Fund may vary
substantially from the net asset value per share of that Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of each Fund may
not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per share of that Fund, which could
materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
• RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENERGY SECTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE ENERGY SELECT SECTOR SPDR® FUND —
All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund are issued by companies whose
primary line of business is directly associated with the energy sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater
volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a
different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Issuers in energy-related industries can be
significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy fuels. Markets for various energy-related
commodities can have significant volatility, and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers.
Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures, and to incur significant amounts of debt, in order to
maintain or expand their reserves. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters as well
as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events and economic conditions. These companies
may be at risk for environmental damage claims. These factors could affect the energy sector and could affect the value of the
equity securities held by the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the price of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund during the
term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
• RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UTILITIES SECTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE UTILITIES SELECT SECTOR SPDR® FUND —
All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund are issued by companies whose
primary line of business is directly associated with the utilities sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater
volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a
different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Utility companies are affected by supply and
demand, operating costs, government regulation, environmental factors, liabilities for environmental damage and general civil
liabilities and rate caps or rate changes. Although rate changes of a regulated utility usually fluctuate in approximate correlation
with financing costs, due to political and regulatory factors, rate changes ordinarily occur only following a delay after the changes in
financing costs. This factor will tend to favorably affect a regulated utility company’s earnings and dividends in times of decreasing
costs, but conversely, will tend to adversely affect earnings and dividends when costs are rising. The value of regulated utility
equity securities may tend to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates. Certain utility companies have
experienced full or partial deregulation in recent years. These utility companies are frequently more similar to industrial companies
in that they are subject to greater competition and have been permitted by regulators to diversify outside of their original
geographic regions and their traditional lines of business. These opportunities may permit certain utility companies to earn more
than their traditional regulated rates of return. Some companies, however, may be forced to defend their core business and may
be less profitable. In addition, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, government intervention or other factors may render a utility
company’s equipment unusable or obsolete and negatively impact profitability. Among the risks that may affect utility companies
are the following: risks of increases in fuel and other operating costs; the high cost of borrowing to finance capital construction
during inflationary periods; restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays associated with compliance with
environmental and nuclear safety regulations; and the difficulties involved in obtaining natural gas for resale or fuel for generating
electricity at reasonable prices. Other risks include those related to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, the
effects of energy conservation and the effects of regulatory changes. These factors could affect the utilities sector and could affect
the value of the equity securities held by the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the price of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR®
Fund during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
• THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUNDS IS LIMITED —
The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for each Fund for certain events affecting the shares
of that Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of
the Funds. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be
materially and adversely affected.
