Various unpredictable factors mayaffect the performance of equity Indices. Equity indices are comprised of a synthetic portfolio of shares, and as such, the performance of an Index is dependent upon the macroeconomic factors relating to the shares that underlie such Index, such as interest and price levels on the capital markets, currency developments, political factors as well as company-specific factors such as earnings position, market position, risk situation, shareholder structure and distribution policy, as well as the index composition, which may change over time, all of which may have a negative effect on the value of the Preference Share(s) and therefore on the value of and return on the Securities.
