The AKB-backed structured products are intended for small investors as well as institutional investors, and will be marketed to third parties through Leonteq.

The guaranteed coupon is paid independently of the performance of the underlyings on the coupon payment dates.
On each early redemption date, the product may be redeemed earlier by the issuer at 100%.
In case none of the underlyings reached or fell below its respective barrier level or all underlying close at maturity above the initial fixing level, the full denomination is redeemed to the investor. In case the barrier level has been reached or breached by at least one underlying and at least one of the underlyings closes at or below its initial fixing level at maturity, the redemption amount depends on the final fixing level of the worst performing underlying.
