A Noteholder can only exercise its termination right through an Authorized Participant, if he qualifies in accordance with client acceptance policies of the respective Authorized Participant (which the Issuer has no influence over). The termination can be exercised through any Authorized Participant whether or not the Notes were acquired through the Authorized Participant receiving the notice or acquired through a secondary market. In such case, the Notes will be redeemed in BTC to the Digital Wallet of the Holder, unless a Holder is prevented from receiving BTC for legal or regulatory reasons (such as Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) within the meaning of Article 1 of the Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009). In such cases the Holder, acting through an Authorized Participant, may demand redemption in USD and EUR in which case the BTC will be converted into USD or EUR in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Terms and Conditions on a date fixed for redemption.

Composition of the product
The underlying of the Notes is Bitcoin, commonly known by the ticker symbol BTC. BTC was the first decentralized cryptocurrency. It was released as open-source software in 2009. BTC was developed to secure payment transactions over a peer-to-peer network (blockchain). The intention of the creation of BTC is to bridge the need for a trusted third party, to democratize the monetary system and ensure the anonymity of transactions made through the blockchain. In contrast to traditional currencies where governments or central banks have the power to increase the money supply at will, the supply of bitcoin is capped at 21 million units hardwired within its codebase. Despite the emergence of many alternative cryptocurrencies Bitcoin still remains the largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization and user acceptance.
