The Mariana FTSE Defensive Income Kick Out Plan – July 2019 is a ten-year plan based on the performance of the FTSE™ 100 Index, being the underlying index. The plan is constructed to offer a potential income of 1.575% per quarter providing the closing price of the underlying index is at or above 75% of the start level on a quarterly observation date. If the closing price of the underlying index is below 75% of the start level on a quarterly observation date, no income is paid for that quarter and the income for that period is permanently lost.

The plan has the possibility to kick out from the end of year 2 and quarterly thereafter. Should the closing price of the underlying index be at or above 105% of the start level on any one of the kick-out observation dates, the plan will mature early paying the potential income for that quarter and returning initial capital in full (subject to counterparty risk).

If the plan has not already kicked out, initial capital will be returned in full at the end of the plan’s term if on the maturity date (19 July 2029) the finish level of the underlying index is not more than 35% below the start level.

An investor is at risk of losing capital if the closing price of the underlying index is less than 65% of the start level (representing a decline of more than 35% from the start level), Initial capital will be lost at a rate of 1% for every 1% that the closing price of the underlying index is below the start level.
