Risks

This is an overview of the main risks associated with this investment. Further (and more complete) details of the main risks associated with this security are set out in the PDS.
  • Capital invested is at risk – There is no capital protection or guarantee by the Australian government or any other party (including the Issuer). Therefore, if the Issuer or Goodyear default, you may not receive the amount you have invested on maturity.
  • Credit exposures to Goodyear – The return on this security incorporates a ‘credit transaction’ where the return is linked to the prices, levels, rates or contingencies related to a five year credit linked note (maturing on 20 December 2029) which is linked to a Goodyear bond, issued in USD and paying 5%pa, maturing on 31 May 2026 (or an equivalent successor) (Goodyear Bond). If Goodyear suffers a ‘credit event’ (eg bankruptcy, failure to make a payment in respect of the Goodyear Bond etc) (Credit Event), you may lose some or all of your investment.
  • Credit Exposure to Issuer and any ‘Hedge Counterparty’ – In addition to the credit risks associated with Goodyear (as outlined above), investors also bear credit risk with respect to the Issuer and, indirectly, to any entity with whom the Issuer has entered into a contract to hedge its obligations under the security (Hedge Counterparty).
  • Historical Performance – Historical performance of Goodyear or the Issuer are not an indication of their future performance.
  • Liquidity risk – If you want to sell your securities before the Maturity Date, there may be a delay, or you may not be able to do so, or may not be able to do so within your desired timeframe.
  • Extended Maturity. The Maturity Date may be extended in the case of a Credit Event or extension by the Issuer. Delays in maturity may be up to 6 months or more.
  • Early Maturity -In certain circumstances the Issuer may elect to redeem these securities early (eg the Issuer reasonably determines that it may not be able to rely on the hedging contracts it has entered into with the Hedge Counterparty, you become bankrupt or insolvent etc);
  • Custodian risk. The Custodian is a related party of the Issuer. There is a risk that the Custodian may be unable to perform its obligations under the Custody Deed and investors may not receive certain money when such amounts become due to them. However, the Custodian is a special purpose vehicle set up to act as Custodian for these types of securities and other structured products and has no other obligations.
