However, if thestock closing price of the Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than the coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment forthe relevant month. If the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock is less than the coupon threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive anycontingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of the securities.
