Each Index is reported by the Bloomberg Professional<sup>®</sup> service ("**Bloomberg**") under the applicable ticker symbol set forth in the table above.

Each Index attempts to provide variable notional exposure to its underlying index set forth in the table above (each, an "**Underlying Index**" and collectively the "**Underlying Indices**"), while targeting an annualized volatility equal to the target volatility set forth in the table above, subject to the deduction on a daily basis of the notional financing cost described below and, in the case of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, subject to a daily deduction of 0.50% per annum (the "**Index Deduction**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark
for the large market capitalization segment of the U.S. equity markets and is calculated on a total-return basis (*i.e.*, dividends
and other distributions are notionally reinvested). For additional information about the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index,
see "Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index" below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index measures the equal-weighted performance of companies within
the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index that have followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for
at least 25 consecutive years and is calculated on a total-return basis (*i.e.*, dividends and other distributions are notionally
reinvested). For additional information about the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index, see "Background
on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index" below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is designed to measure the performance
of 100 large-capitalization multinational companies whose businesses are global in nature and that derive a substantial portion of their
operating income from multiple countries. For additional information about the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, see "Background
on the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index" below.

Each Index will adjust its notional exposure to its Underlying Index daily in an attempt to maintain an annualized volatility for that Index approximately equal to its target volatility, subject to a maximum exposure of 150% and a minimum exposure of 0%. We refer to the notional exposure that an Index has to the performance of its Underlying Index on any day as the "leverage factor" of that Index on that day.

The leverage factor of an Index on any day is equal to its target volatility divided by the annualized volatility of its Underlying Index as of the third immediately preceding Index trading day (in the case of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER) or the second immediately preceding Index trading day (in the case of each other Index), as applicable, subject to the maximum and minimum exposures. Accordingly, as the volatility of an Underlying Index increases, the exposure provided by the relevant Index to that Underlying Index decreases, and, as the volatility of that Underlying Index decreases, the exposure provided by that Index to that Underlying Index increases. If the leverage factor of an Index is greater than 100% on any day, that Index will provide leveraged exposure to its Underlying Index. If the leverage factor of an Index is less than 100% on any day, the difference will be notionally uninvested and will earn no return. Under normal market conditions, each Index is expected to be significantly uninvested.

For example, assuming a volatility target of 5%, if the annualized volatility of the relevant Underlying Index used to calculate the leverage factor on a given day is equal to 20%, the leverage factor will equal 25% (5% divided by 20%). This means that, subject to the notional financing cost described below and, if appliable, the Index Deduction, the relevant Index would appreciate only 1% in response to an appreciation of 4% in its Underlying Index, and that Index would depreciate only by 1% in response to a depreciation of 4% in its Underlying Index.

Each Index is an excess return index that tracks the return of its Underlying Index, subject to its leverage factor, over and above a short-term money market investment. In other words, each Index provides a return based on the performance of a notional investment in its Underlying Index, subject to its leverage factor, where the investment was made using borrowed funds.

The notional financing cost for each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is calculated as a daily SOFR rate plus a fixed spread. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 5% Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index have a fixed spread of 0.02963%, and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control 8% Excess Return has a fixed spread of 0.13088%. S&P Dow Jones may use other successor interest rates if the daily SOFR rate cannot be obtained. SOFR, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. See "Background on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate" below for additional information about SOFR. Prior to December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 5% Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index was calculated based on overnight USD LIBOR rates. Prior to December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control 8% Excess Return was calculated as a composite rate of interest intended to track the overnight rate of return of a notional position in a 3-month time deposit in U.S. dollars, calculated by reference to 2-month and 3-month USD LIBOR rates. LIBOR, which stands for "London Interbank Offered Rate," is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks without pledging any collateral or security.

The notional financing cost for the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is calculated by reference to the Effective Federal Funds Rate. S&P Dow Jones may use other successor interest rates if the daily Effective Federal Funds Rate cannot be obtained. The Effective Federal Funds Rate is a measure of the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight, calculated as the volume-weighted median of overnight federal funds transactions reported by U.S. banks and U.S. branches and agencies of non-U.S. banks, and is quoted on the basis of an assumed year of 360 days.

The notional financing cost is applied to each Index's notional exposure to its Underlying Index, so it increases as the leverage factor increases and decreases as the leverage factor decreases. For example, if leverage factor of an Index is 80%, no notional financing costs will be deducted from the remaining 20%. If the leverage factor of an Index is 150%, notional financing costs will be deducted from the entire 150% exposure to its Underlying Index.

For additional information about the Indices, see "The S&P Risk Control Index Series" below.

**No assurance can be given that an Index will approximate its target volatility. The actual realized volatility of an Index may be greater or less than its target volatility.**

**Risk Factors**

 

*Your investment in the notes will involve certain risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any Index, Underlying Index, any of the equity securities composing any Underlying Index or other instruments linked to any of the foregoing. **You should consider carefully the following discussion of risks as well as the discussion of risks included in the relevant terms supplement, in the accompanying product supplement and in any other accompanying underlying supplement, before you decide that an investment in the notes is suitable for you.***

**Risks Relating to the Indices Generally**

**J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of the Issuer and the Guarantor (if applicable), coordinated with the Index Sponsor in the development of the Indices.**

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which is referred to in this underlying supplement as JPMS, an affiliate of the Issuer and the Guarantor (if applicable), coordinated with the Index Sponsor in its development of the guidelines and policies governing the composition and calculation of the Indices. Although the Index Sponsor, in developing the Indices, coordinated with JPMS, JPMorgan Chase & Co., as the ultimate parent company of JPMS, ultimately controls JPMS. The policies and judgments for which JPMS was responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the levels of the Indices and the value of your notes. JPMS was under no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes in its role in developing the guidelines and policies governing an Index or making judgments that may affect the level of that Index. Furthermore, the inclusion of the equity securities in an Index is not an investment recommendation by the Issuer, the Guarantor (if applicable) or JPMS of those equity securities.

**The level of each Index will reflect the deduction of a notional financing cost.**

One way in which each Index may differ from a typical index is that it is an excess return index that tracks the return of its Underlying Index, subject to the leverage factor, over and above a short-term money market investment. As such, each Index's level will include the deduction of a notional financing cost from the performance of its Underlying Index. In other words, each Index provides a return based on the performance of a notional investment in its Underlying Index, subject to the leverage factor, where the investment was made using borrowed funds. The notional financing cost accrues based on the Effective Federal Funds Rate (in the case of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER) or the daily SOFR rate plus a fixed spread (in the case of each other Index), as applicable. The notional financing cost will be deducted daily. As a result of the deduction of the notional financing cost, the level of each Index will trail the value of a hypothetical identically constituted notional portfolio from which no such cost is deducted.

The Effective Federal Funds Rate is a measure of the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight. SOFR, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. SOFR will be affected by many factors, including, among others described under "— Risks Relating to the Notional Financing Cost" below, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. The Effective Federal Funds Rate and SOFR have fluctuated significantly over time. For example, on August 31, 2023, the Effective Federal Funds Rate was 5.33% and the SOFR rate was 5.31% and, on December 31, 2021, the Effective Federal Funds Rate was 0.08% and the SOFR rate was 0.05%. The Federal Reserve raised its federal funds target rate over periods in the past and may do so again in the future. Any increase in the Effective Federal Funds Rate or SOFR rates, whether due to the Federal Reserve decisions to raise interest rates (specifically, its federal funds target rate) or otherwise, will increase the adverse effect of the notional financing cost on performance of each Index. In addition, the fixed spreads added to SOFR in calculating the notional financing cost will increase the notional financing cost, which will negatively affect the performance of each relevant Index.

The notional financing cost will place a significant drag on the performance of each Index, assuming that the rates underlying the notional financing cost remain positive, potentially offsetting positive returns of the relevant Underlying Index, exacerbating negative returns of the relevant Underlying Index and

causing the level of each Index to decline steadily if the performance of the relevant Underlying Index is relatively flat. Each Index will not appreciate unless the performance of the relevant Underlying Index is sufficient to offset the negative effects of the notional financing cost, and then only to the extent that the performance of the Underlying Index, subject to the leverage factor, is greater than the deducted amount. As a result of the notional financing cost, the level of each Index may decline even if the performance of the relevant Underlying Index is positive.

**The level of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER will reflect the Index Deduction.**

One way in which the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER may differ from a typical index is that its level will include the 0.50% per annum daily Index Deduction. As a result of the Index Deduction, the level of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER will trail the value of a hypothetical identically constituted notional portfolio from which no such Index Deduction is deducted. The Index Deduction will place a significant drag on the performance of the Index, potentially offsetting positive returns on the Index's investment strategy, exacerbating negative returns of its investment strategy and causing the level of the Index to decline steadily if the return of its investment strategy is relatively flat. The Index will not appreciate unless the return of its investment strategy is sufficient to offset the negative effects of the Index Deduction, and then only to the extent that the return of its investment strategy is greater than the Index Deduction. As a result of the Index Deduction, the level of the Index may decline even if the return of its investment strategy is positive. The Index Deduction is deducted daily at a rate of 0.50% per annum, even when the leverage factor of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is less than 100%.

**Each Index may not be successful or outperform or underperform its Underlying Index.**

Each Index provides notional exposure to its Underlying Index, while targeting its target volatility. No assurance can be given that the volatility targeting strategy will be successful or that any Index will outperform or underperform its Underlying Index or any alternative strategy that might be employed to provide volatility-adjusted exposure to its Underlying Index.

**Each Index may not approximate its target volatility.**

No assurance can be given that an Index will approximate its target volatility. The actual realized volatility of each Index may be greater or less than its target volatility. The exposure of an Index to its Underlying Index is dynamically adjusted on a daily basis, subject to a maximum exposure limit, based on the historical volatility of that Underlying Index. However, there is no guarantee that trends existing in the past will continue in the future. The volatility of an Underlying Index on any day may change quickly and unexpectedly. Accordingly, the actual realized annualized volatility of an Index may be greater than or less than the target volatility, which may affect the level of that Index and may adversely affect the value of the notes. Due to the decay factors utilized in setting the leverage factor for the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, the long-term realized volatility of that Index may be lower than its target volatility.

**The daily adjustment of the exposure of an Index to its Underlying Index may cause that Index not to reflect fully any appreciation of its Underlying Index or to magnify any depreciation of its Underlying Index.**

In an effort to approximate its target volatility, each Index adjusts its exposure to its Underlying Index daily based on the historical volatility of that Underlying Index, subject to a maximum exposure limit of 150%. When the historical volatility is greater than the target volatility, an Index will reduce its exposure to its Underlying Index. When the historical volatility is less than the target volatility, an Index will increase the exposure to its Underlying Index, up to 150%. Due to the daily exposure adjustments, an Index may fail to realize gains due to appreciation of its Underlying Index at a time when the exposure is less than 100% or may suffer increased losses due to depreciation of its Underlying Index when the exposure is

above 100%. As a result, each Index may perform differently from a similar index that does not include a daily exposure adjustment feature.

**Each Index may be significantly uninvested, which will result in a portion of that Index reflecting no return.**

Each Index utilizes its existing Underlying Index methodology, plus an overlying mathematical algorithm designed to control the level of risk of its Underlying Index by establishing a specific volatility target and dynamically adjusting the exposure to that Underlying Index based on its observed historical volatility. If an Index's Underlying Index experiences volatility in excess of the applicable volatility target over the relevant period, the exposure to its Underlying Index is decreased, meaning that that Index will be partially uninvested, and, accordingly, that Index will reflect no return with respect to the uninvested portion. Accordingly, when the exposure of an Index to its Underlying Index is less than 100% on any day, that Index will be partially uninvested. For example, if the exposure is set at 20%, the relevant Index will be 80% uninvested. Under normal market conditions, each Index is expected to be significantly uninvested. Increased volatility in an Index's Underlying Index may affect the performance of that Index and may adversely affect the value of the notes.

**The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER has a limited operating history and may perform in unanticipated ways.**

The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER was established on September 18, 2023 and therefore has a limited operating history. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.

**The methodology for calculating the notional financing cost of each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER was recently changed.**

Effective December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost on each day for each Index (other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER) was set equal to the daily SOFR rate on that day plus a fixed spread. Prior to December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 5% Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index was calculated based on overnight USD LIBOR rates. Prior to December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control 8% Excess Return was calculated as a composite rate of interest intended to track the overnight rate of return of a notional position in a 3-month time deposit in U.S. dollars, calculated by reference to 2-month and 3-month USD LIBOR rates.

The fixed spread added to SOFR in calculating the notional financing cost of each relevant Index is arbitrary and will negatively affect the performance of that Index.

The change to the notional financing cost may adversely affect the performance of each relevant Index and the value of the notes, as the notional financing cost derived from daily SOFR rates plus a spread may be different, perhaps significantly, than the notional financing cost that would have been derived from the relevant LIBOR rates. In addition, this change may affect the composition of a relevant Index after the effective date of the change, which may affect the performance of each relevant Index and adversely affect the value of the notes. Moreover, the performance of each relevant Index prior to December 20, 2021 does not reflect this change. Each relevant Index lacked any operating history with the new notional financing cost methodology prior to December 20, 2021 and may perform in unanticipated ways.

**Risks Relating to the Underlying Indices**

**JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make up the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 5% Excess Return Index, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index and the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control**

**0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER and may be included in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control 8% Excess Return Index.**

JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might affect the level of any Underlying Index or Index.

**The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets.**

Some of the equity securities composing the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies. An investment in the notes linked to the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, therefore, involves risks associated with the securities markets in those countries where the non-U.S. underlying securities are traded, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies and governments in some of these jurisdictions than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and generally non-U.S. companies and governments are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

The prices of securities in non-U.S. markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those markets, including changes in a country's government, economic and fiscal policies, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions. Moreover, the economies of these countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency. These countries may be subjected to different and, in some cases, more adverse economic environments.

Some or all of these factors may influence the value of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, and therefore, the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER. The impact of any of the factors set forth above may enhance or offset some or all of any change resulting from another factor or factors. You cannot predict the future performance of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index or the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER based on its historical performance. The value of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index or the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER may decrease, which may adversely affect any payments on, and the value of, the notes.

**Risks Relating to the Notional Financing Cost**

**The future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on historical performance.**

The level of SOFR during the term of the notes may bear little or no relation to historical actual or historical indicative SOFR data. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables and their relation to SOFR, such as correlations, may change in the future. While some pre-publication historical data has been released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("**FRBNY**"), production of such historical indicative SOFR data inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. No future performance of SOFR may be inferred from any of historical actual or historical indicative SOFR data. Hypothetical or historical performance data are not indicative of, and have no bearing on, the potential performance of SOFR. Changes in the levels of SOFR will affect the notional financing cost and, therefore, the performance of each Index and the return on the notes and the trading price of the notes, but it is impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall.

**The Effective Federal Funds Rate and SOFR will be affected by a number of factors and may be volatile.**

The notional financing cost will depend on the Effective Federal Funds Rate or SOFR, as applicable. The Effective Federal Funds Rate and SOFR will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In the case of SOFR, supply and demand for overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase
agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· general U.S. and global economic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· inflation and expectations concerning inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· central bank policy regarding interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· performance of capital markets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any statements from public government officials regarding the cessation of
SOFR.

These and other factors may have a material effect on the performance of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and SOFR, on the notional financing cost, on the performance of each Index and on the value of the notes in the secondary market. Additionally, these factors may result in volatility in the Effective Federal Funds Rate and SOFR, and the volatility in the Effective Federal Funds Rate or SOFR, as applicable, may affect the notional financing cost, which may adversely affect your return on the notes.

**The fixed spread added to SOFR in calculating the notional financing cost for each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER will negatively affect the performance of each Index.**

For each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, the notional financing cost is intended to approximate the cost of maintaining a position in an Underlying Index using borrowed funds at a rate of interest equal to the daily SOFR rate plus a fixed spread. The fixed spread is arbitrary and will increase the notional financing cost, which will negatively affect the performance of each relevant Index.

**The notional financing cost of each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is calculated by reference to daily SOFR rates, not compounded SOFR rates.**

The notional financing cost of each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is calculated by reference to daily SOFR rates, plus a fixed spread, not to SOFR compounded over any period. Accordingly, the notional financing cost is expected to be more representative of current overnight rates than of the overnight rate of return of a notional position in a time deposit in U.S. dollars. The notional financing cost may in some circumstances be higher than if compounded SOFR were used to calculate the notional financing cost.

**The administrator of SOFR may make changes that could adversely affect the level of SOFR or discontinue SOFR and has no obligation to consider your interest in doing so.**

SOFR is a relatively new rate, and FRBNY (or a successor), as administrator of SOFR, may make methodological or other changes that could change the value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which SOFR is calculated, eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SOFR, or timing related to the publication of SOFR. If the manner in which SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in an increase to the notional financing cost, which would adversely affect the performance of each Index and the value of the notes. The administrator of SOFR may withdraw, modify, amend, suspend or discontinue the calculation or dissemination of SOFR in its sole discretion and without notice and has no obligation to consider the interests of holders of the notes in calculating, withdrawing, modifying, amending, suspending or discontinuing SOFR.

**The Effective Federal Funds Rate and the manner in which it is calculated may change in the future.**

There can be no assurance that the method by which the Effective Federal Funds Rate is calculated will not change. Such changes in the method of calculation could increase the notional financing cost of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER.

Each Index is reported by the Bloomberg Professional<sup>®</sup> service ("**Bloomberg**") under the applicable ticker symbol set forth in the table above.

Each Index attempts to provide variable notional exposure to its underlying index set forth in the table above (each, an "**Underlying Index**" and collectively the "**Underlying Indices**"), while targeting an annualized volatility equal to the target volatility set forth in the table above, subject to the deduction on a daily basis of the notional financing cost described below and, in the case of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, subject to a daily deduction of 0.50% per annum (the "**Index Deduction**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark
for the large market capitalization segment of the U.S. equity markets and is calculated on a total-return basis (*i.e.*, dividends
and other distributions are notionally reinvested). For additional information about the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index,
see "Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index" below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index measures the equal-weighted performance of companies
 within the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index that have
 followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at
 least 25 consecutive years and is calculated on a total-return basis (*i.e.*, dividends
 and other distributions are notionally reinvested). For additional information about the
 S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total
 Return Index, see "Background on the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index" below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is designed to measure the performance
of 100 large-capitalization multinational companies whose businesses are global in nature and that derive a substantial portion of their
operating income from multiple countries. For additional information about the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, see "Background
on the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index" below.

**Volatility Control**

Each Index will adjust its notional exposure to its Underlying Index daily in an attempt to maintain an annualized volatility for that Index approximately equal to its target volatility, subject to a maximum exposure of 150% and a minimum exposure of 0%. We refer to the notional exposure that an Index has

to the performance of its Underlying Index on any day as the "leverage factor" of that Index on that day. The leverage factor of an Index on any day is equal to its target volatility divided by the annualized volatility of its Underlying Index as of the third immediately preceding Index trading day (in the case of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER) or the second immediately preceding Index trading day (in the case of each other Index), as applicable, subject to the maximum and minimum exposures. Accordingly, as the volatility of an Underlying Index increases, the exposure provided by the relevant Index to that Underlying Index decreases, and, as the volatility of that Underlying Index decreases, the exposure provided by that Index to that Underlying Index increases. If the leverage factor of an Index is greater than 100% on any day, that Index will provide leveraged exposure to its Underlying Index. If the leverage factor of an Index is less than 100% on any day, the difference will be notionally uninvested and will earn no return. Under normal market conditions, each Index is expected to be significantly uninvested.

For example, assuming a volatility target of 5%, if the annualized volatility of the relevant Underlying Index used to calculate the leverage factor on a given day is equal to 20%, the leverage factor will equal 25% (5% divided by 20%). This means that, subject to the notional financing cost described below and, if appliable, the Index Deduction, the relevant Index would appreciate only 1% in response to an appreciation of 4% in its Underlying Index, and that Index would depreciate only by 1% in response to a depreciation of 4% in its Underlying Index.

**No assurance can be given that an Index will approximate its target volatility. The actual realized volatility of an Index may be greater or less than its target volatility.**

**Notional Financing Cost**

Each Index is an excess return index that tracks the return of its Underlying Index, subject to its leverage factor, over and above a short-term money market investment. In other words, each Index provides a return based on the performance of a notional investment in its Underlying Index, subject to its leverage factor, where the investment was made using borrowed funds.

The notional financing cost for each Index other than the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is calculated as a daily SOFR rate plus a fixed spread. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 5% Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index have a fixed spread of 0.02963%, and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control 8% Excess Return has a fixed spread of 0.13088%. S&P Dow Jones may use other successor interest rates if the daily SOFR rate cannot be obtained. SOFR, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. See "Background on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate" below for additional information about SOFR. Prior to December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 5% Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index was calculated based on overnight USD LIBOR rates. Prior to December 20, 2021, the notional financing cost for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control 8% Excess Return was calculated as a composite rate of interest intended to track the overnight rate of return of a notional position in a 3-month time deposit in U.S. dollars, calculated by reference to 2-month and 3-month USD LIBOR rates. LIBOR, which stands for "London Interbank Offered Rate," is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks without pledging any collateral or security.

The notional financing cost for the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER is calculated by reference to the Effective Federal Funds Rate. S&P Dow Jones may use other successor interest rates if the daily Effective Federal Funds Rate cannot be obtained. The Effective Federal Funds Rate is a measure of the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight, calculated as the volume-weighted median of overnight federal funds transactions reported by U.S. banks and U.S. branches and agencies of non-U.S. banks, and is quoted on the basis of an assumed year of 360 days.

The notional financing cost is applied to each Index's notional exposure to its Underlying Index, so it increases as the leverage factor increases and decreases as the leverage factor decreases. For

example, if leverage factor of an Index is 80%, no notional financing costs will be deducted from the remaining 20%. If the leverage factor of an Index is 150%, notional financing costs will be deducted from the entire 150% exposure to its Underlying Index.

**Calculation of the Value of the Indices**

The closing level of each Index on any day reflects (a) the performance of its Underlying Index since the immediately preceding index rebalancing date, *multiplied by* its leverage factor, *less* (b) the notional financing cost that has accrued since the immediately preceding index rebalancing date, calculated using a 360-day year, *multiplied by* the leverage factor. The closing level of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER on any day will also be reduced by the portion of the Index Deduction that has accrued since the immediately preceding index rebalancing date. Each day on which 15% or more of the total weight of the Underlying Index of an Index is traded is an index rebalancing date for that Index.

**Calculation of the Volatility of the Underlying Indices**

The historical realized volatility of an Underlying Index used to calculate the leverage factor of an Index is the greater of the short- and long-term volatility measures, where each volatility measure uses exponential weightings to give more significance to recent observations. The degree to which more recent daily returns have a greater effect than less recent daily returns in calculating the volatility measures is dictated by the "decay factor" used. The short-term and long-term decay factors are 0.8705 (87.05%) and 0.99725 (99.725%), respectively (in the case of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER), and are 0.94 (94%) and 0.97 (97%), respectively (in the case of each other Index), as applicable. The greater of the short- and long-term measures of volatility is used to cause an Index to deleverage quickly on a relative basis but increase exposure more gradually on a relative basis, subject to the maximum exposure of 150%.

The first chart below illustrates the effect of the exponential weighting described above for decay factors of 0.8705 and 0.99725. The second chart below illustrates the effect of the exponential weighting described above for decay factors of 0.97 and 0.94. For each daily return shown, each chart indicates the percentage weight that will be given to that daily return in calculating the relevant volatility measure. As the charts illustrates, the most recent daily returns have greater weight than less recent daily returns in determining the short- and long-term volatility measures.

**Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index**

All information contained in this underlying supplement regarding the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC ("**S&P Dow Jones**"). The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones. S&P Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol "SPTR."

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index represents the total return earned on a portfolio that tracks the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index and reinvests dividend income in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, not in the specific stock paying the dividend. While changes in the level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index reflect only changes in stock prices, changes in the level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index reflect both movements in stock prices and the reinvestment of dividend income. For more information about the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, see "— Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index" in this underlying supplement.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index is calculated from the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index and daily total dividend returns. First, on each trading day, the total dividend paid on that day is measured in dollars and converted into index points of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index by dividing the total dividend paid by the divisor for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index. The daily total return for that trading day equals (a) the return the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index since the immediately preceding trading day *plus* (b) the total dividend paid, expressed in index points of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, *divided by* the closing level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index on the immediately preceding trading day. The closing level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index on that trading day is then calculated by applying the daily total return for that trading day to the closing level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index on the immediately preceding trading day.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index reflects both ordinary and special dividends. Ordinary cash dividends are applied on the ex-date in calculating the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index. Special dividends are those dividends that are outside of the normal payment pattern established historically by the issuer of the stocks composing the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index. These may be described by the issuer as "special," "extra," "year-end," or "return of capital." Whether a dividend is funded from operating earnings or from other sources of cash does not affect the determination of whether it is ordinary or special. Special dividends are treated as corporate actions with offsetting price and divisor adjustments. Dividends used to calculate the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index can be negative if a dividend correction is applied to a particular stock.

All information contained in this underlying supplement regarding the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, together with the S&P MidCap 400<sup>®</sup> Index and the S&P SmallCap 600<sup>®</sup> Index (each, an "**S&P U.S. Index**," and collectively the "**S&P U.S. Indices**"), is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones. S&P Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index.

The S&P U.S. Indices are part of a family of indices that are each designed to measure different market segments of the U.S. equity markets.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the large market capitalization segment of the U.S. equity markets. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol "SPX."

**Composition of the S&P U.S. Indices**

Additions to the S&P U.S. Indices are evaluated based on the following eligibility criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Domicile.* The company must be a U.S.-domiciled company. S&P Dow
Jones generally determines a company's country of domicile based on the location of its incorporation and/or registration, operational
headquarters and stock exchange listings (common listings only; excludes depositary receipts, OTC and other similar securities). If all
three principal factors point toward one country, then that country is generally considered the country of domicile. When the country
of incorporation and/or registration is a domicile of convenience, only the location of the operational headquarters and stock exchange
listings are considered. If any of these factors do not align, a company will generally be assigned to its country of incorporation, unless
a broader analysis considering the following factors establishes a significant link to another country: geographic breakdown of assets
and revenues by country, where applicable, ownership information (such as composition of, and/or geographic distribution of, its shareholder
base), additional stock exchange listings, the functional and reporting currency, location of officers, directors and employees, location
of annual company meetings, company history, investor perception and other factors deemed to be relevant by S&P Dow Jones's
U.S. index committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Security Filing Type.* The company issuing the security must satisfy
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934's periodic reporting obligations by filing certain required forms for domestic issuers,
such as but not limited to Form 10-K annual reports, Form 10-Q quarterly reports and Form 8-K current reports.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Exchange Listing.* A listing on one of the following U.S. exchanges
is required: New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Capital Market,
Cboe BZX, Cboe BYX, Cboe EDGA or Cboe EDGX exchanges. Ineligible exchanges include the over-the counter markets including the Pink Open
Market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Organizational Structure and Share Type.* Eligible organizational structures
and share types are corporations, including equity and mortgage real estate investment trusts ()"**REITs** "), and common
stock (*i.e.*, shares). Ineligible organizational structures and share types include, but are not limited to, business development
companies, limited partnerships, master limited partnerships, limited liability companies, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded
notes, royalty trusts, special purpose acquisition companies ()"**SPACs** "), tracking stocks, preferred and convertible
preferred stock, unit trusts, equity warrants, convertible bonds, investment trusts, rights and American depositary receipts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Multiple Share Classes.* S&P Dow Jones includes all publicly listed multiple share class lines separately in float-adjusted market capitalization
(" **FMC**") weighted indices, subject to the

eligibility requirements for each index. Index membership eligibility for a company with multiple share class lines is based on total market capitalization at the company level. Each publicly listed share class is evaluated separately to determine index inclusion, with the weight of each line reflecting only that line's FMC, not the combined FMC of all company share class lines. Unlisted share class lines are not combined with any listed share class lines, but unlisted share class lines are included when calculating company total market capitalization ("**TMC**"). Multiple share class lines not currently in an S&P U.S. Index must satisfy the liquidity and FMC eligibility requirements (but not the market capitalization criteria, which is only considered at the company level). Any excluded listed secondary lines are reviewed annually in September for potential index inclusion. Multiple share class line deletions from an S&P U.S. Index are at the discretion of S&P Dow Jones's U.S. index committee, and, as a result, a multiple share class line may continue to be included in an index even if the share class line subsequently fails to meet the addition criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Market Capitalization.* The total company-level market capitalization
should be within a specified range for the relevant S&P U.S. Index. These ranges are reviewed at the beginning of each calendar quarter
and updated as needed to ensure they reflect current market conditions. A company meeting the total company-level market capitalization
criteria is also required to have a security-level FMC that is at least 50% of the relevant S&P U.S. Index's total company-level
minimum market capitalization threshold.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *IWF.* For each stock, an investable weight factor ()"**IWF** ")
is calculated, which is equal to the percentage of such stock's shares that are freely available for trading in the public market
out of total shares outstanding. A stock must have a minimum IWF of 0.1 as of the rebalancing effective date to be eligible for inclusion
in an S&P U.S. Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Liquidity.* A float-adjusted liquidity ratio ()"**FALR** "),
defined as the annual dollar value traded *divided by* the FMC, is used to measure liquidity. Using composite pricing and all publicly
reported U.S. consolidated volume, annual dollar value traded is defined as the average closing price *multiplied by* the historical
volume over the 365 calendar days prior to the evaluation date. This is reduced to the available trading period for initial public offerings
(" **IPOs** "), spin-offs or public companies considered to be U.S.-domiciled for index purposes that do not have 365 calendar
days of trading history on a U.S. exchange. In these cases, the dollar value traded available as of the evaluation date is annualized.
The price, shares outstanding and IWF as of the evaluation date are used to calculate the FMC. The evaluation date is the open of trading
two business days prior to the announcement date. The stock should trade a minimum of 250,000 shares in each of the six months leading
up to the evaluation date. The FALR must be greater than or equal to 0.75 at the time of addition to an S&P U.S. Index. Current index
constituents have no minimum requirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Financial Viability.* The sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters'
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ()"**GAAP**") earnings (net income excluding discontinued operations) should be
positive as should the most recent quarter. For equity REITs, financial viability is based on GAAP earnings and/or funds from operations,
if reported.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Treatment of IPOs.* IPOs should be traded on an eligible exchange for
at least 12 months before being considered for addition to an S&P U.S. Index. For former SPACs, S&P Dow Jones considers the de-SPAC
transaction to be an event equivalent to an IPO, and 12 months of trading post the de-SPAC event are required before a former SPAC can
be considered for inclusion in an S&P U.S. Index. Spin-offs or in-specie distributions from existing constituents are not required
to have 12 months of trading prior to their inclusion in an S&P U.S. Index. Companies that migrate from an ineligible exchange, emerge
from bankruptcy, are newly designated to be domiciled in the U.S. for index purposes by S&P Dow Jones or convert from an ineligible
share or organizational type to an eligible type do not need to trade
on an eligible U.S. exchange for 12 months before being considered for addition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Sector Classification.* Sector balance, as measured by a comparison
of each GICS <sup>®</sup> sector's weight in the applicable S&P U.S. Index with its weight in the S&P Total Market Index,
in the relevant market capitalization range, is also considered in the selection of companies for the S&P U.S. Indices. The S&P
Total Market Index is a float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to track the broad equity market, including large-,
mid-, small- and micro-cap stocks.

Exceptions to the above criteria include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Non-constituents that acquire constituents of an S&P U.S. Index, but do
not fully meet all of the eligibility criteria, may still be added to an S&P U.S. Index at the discretion of the S&P Dow Jones's
U.S. index committee if the merger consideration includes the acquiring company issuing stock to target company shareholders, and the
committee determines that the addition could mitigate turnover and enhance the representativeness of the relevant S&P U.S. Index as
a market benchmark.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Current constituents of an S&P U.S. Index can be migrated from one S&P
U.S. Index to another provided they meet the total company-level market capitalization eligibility criteria for the new index. Migrations
from an S&P U.S. Index to another do not need to meet the financial viability, liquidity or 50% of the respective index's total
company-level minimum market capitalization threshold criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Companies that are spun-off from current index constituents do not need to
meet the outside addition criteria, but they should be considered U.S. domiciled for index purposes. At the discretion of the S&P
Dow Jones's U.S. index committee, a spin-off company may be retained in the parent stock's index if the committee determines
it has a TMC representative of the relevant S&P U.S. Index.

**Calculation of the S&P U.S. Indices** 

The S&P U.S. Indices are FMC-weighted indices. On any given day, the index value of each S&P U.S. Index is the total FMC of that S&P U.S. Index's constituents *divided* by its divisor. The FMC reflects the price of each stock in the relevant S&P U.S. Index *multiplied* by the number of shares used in the index value calculation.

 

*Float Adjustment.* Float adjustment means that the number of shares outstanding is reduced to exclude shares that are held by other publicly traded companies, government agencies or certain types of strategic shareholders from the calculation of the index value because such shares are not available to investors. The goal of float adjustment is to adjust each company's total shares outstanding for long-term strategic shareholders, who often have interests such as maintaining control rather than securing the shorter-term economic fortunes of the company. Generally, these long-term strategic shareholders include, but are not limited to, officers and directors, private equity, venture capital and special equity firms, asset managers and insurance companies with direct board of director representation, other publicly traded companies that hold shares, holders of restricted shares, company-sponsored employee share plans/trusts, defined contribution plans/savings and investment plans, foundations or family trusts associated with the company, government entities at all levels (other than government retirement/pension funds), sovereign wealth funds and any individual person who controls a 5% or greater stake in a company as reported in regulatory filings. Restricted shares are generally not included in total shares outstanding except for shares held as part of a lock-up agreement. Shares that are not considered outstanding are also not included in the available float. These generally include treasury stock, stock options, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock and rights.

For each component, S&P Dow Jones calculates an IWF, which represents the portion of the total shares outstanding that are considered part of the public float for purposes of the relevant S&P U.S. Index calculation.

 

*Divisor.* Continuity in index values of each S&P U.S. Index following the implementation of corporate actions, index rebalancing events or other non-market driven actions is maintained by adjusting its divisor. Any change to the stocks in the relevant S&P U.S. Index that alters the total market value of the index while holding stock prices constant will require a divisor adjustment. These changes include additions to and deletions from the relevant S&P U.S. Index, rights issues, share buybacks and issuances and non-zero price spin-offs. The value of each S&P U.S. Index's divisor over time is, in effect, a chronological summary of all changes affecting the base capital of that S&P U.S. Index. The divisor of each S&P U.S. Index is adjusted such that the index value of that S&P U.S. Index at an instant just prior to a change in base capital equals the index value of that S&P U.S. Index at an instant immediately following that change.

**Maintenance of the S&P U.S. Indices**

S&P Dow Jones believes turnover in index membership should be avoided when possible. At times a stock included in an S&P U.S. Index may appear to temporarily violate one or more of the addition criteria. However, the addition criteria are for addition to an S&P U.S. Index, not for continued membership. As a result, an S&P U.S. Index constituent that appears to violate criteria for addition to that index is not deleted unless ongoing conditions warrant an index change. When a stock is removed from an S&P U.S. Index, S&P Dow Jones explains the basis for the removal.

Changes to index composition are made on an as-needed basis. There is no scheduled reconstitution. Rather, changes in response to corporate actions and market developments can be made at any time. Index additions and deletions are typically announced with at least three business days' advance notice. Less than three business days' notice may be given at the discretion of the S&P Dow Jones's U.S. index committee.

 

*Deletion from an S&P U.S. Index.* Deletions from an S&P U.S. Index occur as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A company is deleted from an S&P U.S. Index if it is involved in a merger,
acquisition or significant restructuring such that it no longer meets the eligibility criteria. A company delisted as a result of a merger,
acquisition or other corporate action is removed at a time announced by S&P Dow Jones, normally at the close of the last day of trading
or expiration of a tender offer. Constituents that are halted from trading may be kept in the applicable S&P U.S. Index until trading
resumes, at the discretion of S&P Dow Jones's U.S. index committee. If a stock is moved to the pink sheets or the bulletin board,
the stock is removed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A company that substantially violates one or more of the eligibility criteria
may be deleted at the S&P Dow Jones's U.S. index committee's discretion.

Any company that is removed from an S&P U.S. Index (including discretionary and bankruptcy/exchange delistings) must wait a minimum of one year from its removal date before being screened for the eligibility criteria.

 

*Share and IWF Updates.* Share/IWF changes are implemented either annually, quarterly or on an accelerated schedule following the relevant event depending on the nature of the change as explained below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Mandatory Action.* Certain mandatory actions, such as M&A driven
share/IWF changes, stock splits and mandatory distributions, are not subject to a minimum threshold for implementation. In order to minimize
index turnover, any IWF changes resulting from such mandatory actions are implemented based on the pre-event IWFs of the securities involved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Accelerated Implementation Rule.* Material share/IWF changes resulting
from certain non-mandatory corporate actions follow an accelerated implementation rule with sufficient advance notification. The accelerated
implementation rule is intended to reduce turnover intra-quarter while also enhancing opportunities for index trackers to take advantage
of non-mandatory material liquidity events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Quarterly Review*. Non-material share/IWF changes are reviewed quarterly,
effective after the close of the third Friday of the third month in each calendar quarter and as per below. At each quarterly review,
shares outstanding are updated to the latest publicly available filings as of the rebalancing reference date. At each quarterly review,
IWF changes are made only if there is a share change of at least 5% of total current shares outstanding and if the adjusted IWF absolute
change is at least 5, with IWF adjustments limited to the extent necessary to help reflect the corresponding share change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Annual Review.* Other than the situations described above, IWFs changes
are only made at the annual IWF review based on the most recently available data filed with various regulators and exchanges.

 

*Share/IWF Reference Date and Freeze Period.* A reference date, after the market close five weeks prior to the third Friday in March, June, September and December, is the cutoff for publicly available information used for quarterly shares outstanding and IWF changes. All shares outstanding and ownership information contained in public filings and/or official sources dated on or before the reference date are included in that quarter's update. In addition, there is a freeze period on a quarterly basis for any changes that result from the accelerated implementation rule. The freeze period begins after the market close on the Tuesday prior to the second Friday of each rebalancing month (*i.e.*, March, June, September and December) and ends after the market close on the third Friday of the rebalancing month.

Pro-forma files for FMC indices are generally released after the market close on the first Friday, two weeks prior to the rebalancing effective date. For illustration purposes, if rebalancing pro-forma files are *scheduled* to be released on Friday, March 5, the share/IWF freeze period will begin after the close of trading on Tuesday, March 9, and will end after the close of trading the following Friday, March 19 (*i.e.*, the third Friday of the rebalancing month).

During the share/IWF freeze period, shares and IWFs are not changed, and the accelerated implementation rule is suspended, except for mandatory corporate action events (such as merger activity, stock splits and rights offerings). The suspension includes all changes that qualify for accelerated implementation and would typically be announced or effective during the share/IWF freeze period. At the end of the freeze period, all suspended changes will be announced on the third Friday of the rebalancing month and implemented five business days after the quarterly rebalancing effective date.

Companies that are the target of cash M&A events, and if publicly available guidance indicates the event is expected to close by quarter end, may have their share count frozen at their current level for rebalancing purposes.

 

*Other Adjustments.* In cases where there is no achievable market price for a stock being deleted, it can be removed at a zero or minimal price at the S&P Dow Jones's U.S. index committee's discretion.

 

*Corporate Action Adjustments.* The table below summarizes the treatment of certain corporate actions.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Corporate Action** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Treatment** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Company addition/deletion** | &nbsp;&nbsp;***Addition*** <br> Companies are added at the float market capitalization weight. The net change to the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index causes a divisor adjustment. ***<br>Deletion*** <br> The weights of all stocks in the relevant S&P U.S. Index will proportionally change. Relative weights will stay the same. The index divisor will change due to the net change in the market capitalization of that S&P U.S. Index. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Corporate Action** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Treatment** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Change in shares<br> outstanding** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Increasing (decreasing) the shares outstanding increases (decreases) the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index. The change to the market capitalization of that S&P U.S. Index causes a divisor adjustment. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Split/reverse split** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Shares outstanding are adjusted by the split ratio. Stock price is adjusted by the split ratio. There is no change to the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index and no divisor adjustment. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Spin-off** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, the spin-off is added to the relevant S&P U.S. Index on the ex-date at a price of zero. The spin-off index shares are based on the spin-off ratio. On the ex-date, the spin-off will have the same attributes and capping adjustment factor as its parent company and will remain in that S&P U.S. Index for at least one trading day. As a result, there will be no change to the index divisor on the ex-date.<br>However, if the spin-off is ineligible for continued inclusion, it will be removed after the ex-date. The weight of the spin-off being deleted is reinvested across all the index components proportionally such that the relative weights of all index components are unchanged. The net change in the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index will cause a divisor change. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Change in IWF** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Increasing (decreasing) the IWF increases (decreases) the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index. A net change to the market capitalization of that S&P U.S. Index causes a divisor adjustment. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Ordinary dividend** | &nbsp;&nbsp;When a company pays an ordinary cash dividend, the relevant S&P U.S. Index does not make any adjustments to the price or shares of the stock. As a result, there are no divisor adjustments to that S&P U.S. Index. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Special dividend** | &nbsp;&nbsp;The stock price is adjusted by the amount of the dividend. The net change to the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index causes a divisor adjustment. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Rights offering** | &nbsp;&nbsp;All rights offerings that are in the money on the ex-date are applied under the assumption that the rights are fully subscribed. The stock price is adjusted by the value of the rights and the shares outstanding are increased by the rights ratio. The net change in the market capitalization of the relevant S&P U.S. Index causes a divisor adjustment. |

**Governance of the S&P U.S. Indices**

The S&P U.S. Indices are maintained by S&P Dow Jones's U.S. index committee (with respect to the S&P U.S. Indices, the "**Index Committee**"). All index committee members are full-time professional members of S&P Dow Jones's staff. The Index Committee meets monthly. At each meeting, the Index Committee reviews pending corporate actions that may affect index constituents, statistics comparing the composition of the S&P U.S. Indices to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to an S&P U.S. Index and any significant market events. In addition, the Index Committee may revise index policies.

**Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index**

All information contained in this underlying supplement regarding the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones. S&P Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol "SPDAUDT."

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index represents the total return earned on a portfolio that tracks the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and reinvests dividend income in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index, not in the specific stock paying the dividend. While changes in the level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index reflect only changes in stock prices, changes in the level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index reflect both movements in stock prices and the reinvestment of dividend income. For more information about the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index, see "— Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index" in this underlying supplement.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index is calculated from the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and daily total dividend returns. First, on each trading day, the total dividend paid on that day is measured in dollars and converted into index points of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index by dividing the total dividend paid by the divisor for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index. The daily total return for that trading day as (a) the return the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index since the immediately preceding trading day plus (b) the total dividend paid, expressed in index points of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index, divided by the closing level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index on the immediately preceding trading day. The closing level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index on that trading day is then calculated by applying the daily total return for that trading day to the closing level of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index on the immediately preceding trading day.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index reflects both ordinary and special dividends. Ordinary cash dividends are applied on the ex-date in calculating the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index. Special dividends are those dividends that are outside of the normal payment pattern established historically by the issuer of the stocks composing the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index. These may be described by the issuer as "special," "extra," "year-end," or "return of capital." Whether a dividend is funded from operating earnings or from other sources of cash does not affect the determination of whether it is ordinary or special. Special dividends are treated as corporate actions with offsetting price and divisor adjustments. Dividends used to calculate the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Total Return Index can be negative if a dividend correction is applied to a particular stock.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index measures the equal-weighted performance of companies within the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index that have followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the large market capitalization segment of the U.S. equity markets. For more information about the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, see "— Background on the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index" in this underlying supplement.

Constituents reweight quarterly, with the qualifying universe reviewed once a year in January.

**Eligibility Criteria and Index Construction**

 

*Index Universe.* The index universe is the S&P 500 Index.

 

*Eligibility Factors.* As of each rebalancing reference date, stocks in the index universe must satisfy the following to be eligible for inclusion in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Have a float-adjusted market capitalization ()"**FMC**") of at least US$3 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Have an average daily value traded of at least US$5 million for the three months prior to the rebalancing reference date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Have an increased total dividend per share amount every year for at least 25 consecutive years.

 

*Constituent Selection.* At each annual reconstitution, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index selects all eligible stocks in the index universe, with a minimum constituent count of 40. If fewer than 40 stocks are eligible, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index relaxes the dividend growth eligibility factor according to the following process:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Rank non-constituent stocks by length of dividend growth history in years and dividend yield.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Select those stocks with a history of more than 20 consecutive years of increased dividends in decreasing order of dividend yield
until the minimum constituent count is met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If there are still not 40 constituents selected, select non-constituent stocks, in decreasing order of dividend yield, until the minimum
constituent count is met.

 

*Constituent Weightings.* At each annual reconstitution and quarterly rebalancing, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index is equal weighted. As part of the annual reconstitution, constituents' weights are subject to a sector diversification constraint capping the single Global Industry Classification Standard ("**GICS**") sector weights at 30% of the total weight in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index. If the sector diversification constraint is breached, the dividend growth eligibility factor is relaxed according to the following process:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index constituents with history of increased dividends of more than 20 consecutive years, also satisfying
the primary criteria on market capitalization and liquidity above, are selected in decreasing order of dividend yield until the sector
diversification criteria is satisfied

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If the sector diversification constraint is still not satisfied, the remaining constituents of the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index
from GICS alternative sectors satisfying the criteria on market capitalization and liquidity are added in decreasing order of dividend
yield until the sector diversification criteria is satisfied. Members of the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index that have reduced dividends
in the 12 months preceding the reference date, as determined by S&P Dow Jones, are not considered for inclusion.

At the discretion of the Index Committee (as defined below), stocks added to satisfy the minimum constituent count or sector diversification requirements at the previous annual reconstitution may be retained in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index if the stocks once again increased annual total dividend per share amount and remains in the index universe (S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index).

To summarize, the selection of S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index constituents is done as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) All constituents of the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index make up the index universe.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) All companies within the index universe that meet the eligibility factors for the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats
Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If the number of constituent companies chosen in Step 2 is fewer than 40, then the remaining S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index constituents
are classified according to (1) the length of their dividend growth history in years and (2) their dividend yield. Stocks with history
of increased dividends of more than 20 consecutive years, also satisfying the primary criteria on market capitalization and liquidity
above, are added in decreasing order of dividend yield until the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index contains 40 constituents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If the number of constituent companies chosen after Step 3 is still fewer than 40, the remaining constituents of the S&P 500 satisfying
the primary criteria on market capitalization and liquidity above are added in decreasing order of dividend yield until the minimum constituent
criteria is satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) If the weight of any single GICS sector after Steps 2-4 exceeds 30%, then the remaining S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index constituents
are classified according to (1) the length of their dividend growth history in years and (2) their dividend yield. Stocks with history
of increased dividends of more than 20 consecutive years, also satisfying the primary criteria on market capitalization and liquidity
above, are added in decreasing order of dividend yield until no GICS sector accounts for more than a 30% index weight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) If the weight of any single GICS sector after Step 5 is still exceeds 30%, the remaining constituents of the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Index satisfying the criteria on market capitalization and liquidity are added in decreasing order of dividend yield until the sector
diversification criteria is satisfied.

 

*Multiple Share Classes and Dual Listed Companies* 

Each company is represented once by a designated listing. In the event multiple lines meet the eligibility factors and have similar dividend yields, the designated listing is selected. For companies with multiple share classes of common stock, S&P Dow Jones determines the share class with both the highest one-year trading liquidity and largest FMC as the designated listing. When the liquidity and market capitalization indicators are in conflict, S&P Dow Jones analyzes the relative differences between the two values placing a greater importance on liquidity. Each company in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index is represented once by the designated listing.

*Dividend Payment Types*

Calendar years, rather than company fiscal years, and ex-dates are used for the dividend analysis. In situations where a dividend payment, or payments, deviates from the company's standard dividend payment cycle, S&P Dow Jones will, at its discretion, allocate payments to the appropriate year in order to take a full cycle into account.

S&P Dow Jones only considers cash dividend payments declared as regular by the paying company for index eligibility, selection, and weighting purposes. Cash dividend payments declared as special by the paying company, including recurring special cash dividends, are not considered. For both eligibility and weighting purposes, annualized cash dividend amounts, before withholding tax, are used. Dividend amounts are calculated before application of withholding taxes.

For index eligibility, selection, and weighting purposes, S&P Dow Jones only considers the fixed portion of the dividend distribution by U.S. companies with fixed plus variable dividend policies.

A dividend initiation or re-initiation does not count as a dividend increase. The initial calendar year may include payment of all four quarterly dividends, or only one, two or three quarterly payments. Evaluations are made on a best-effort basis.

S&P Dow Jones will continue to monitor all stocks in the index universe on a best effort basis up until the initial announcement of the rebalancing results. If a company has announced a change to its dividend policy any time prior to the rebalancing results announcement and would no longer qualify for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index, then S&P Dow Jones may, at its discretion, exclude the company in conjunction with the rebalancing. Any dividend policy changes disclosed after the initial announcement of the rebalancing results are reviewed during the next monthly dividend review.

**The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index Calculation**

Once the constituent stocks are identified, S&P Dow Jones utilizes an equal weighting procedure to determine the composition of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index so that each stock constituent has an equal weight in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index at each rebalancing date. Stock constituents are re-weighted every quarter to re-establish equal weighting using the closing prices as of the second Friday of the rebalancing month as the reference price. Since index shares are assigned based on prices one week prior to the rebalancing, the actual weight of each stock at the rebalancing will differ from the target equal weights due to market movements.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index is calculated by means of the divisor methodology. The initial divisor is set to have a base index value of 100 on December 29, 1989. The Index Level is simply the Index Market Value divided by the Divisor for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index:

![](image_004.jpg)

The Index Market Value is calculated as follows:

![](image_005.jpg)

 

*where* Price is the price of the constituent stock, Shares is the number of shares of the constituent stock outstanding, IWF is the constituent stock's Investable Weight Factor, which is a float adjustment factor designed to exclude shares that are closely held by control groups, other publicly traded companies or government agencies, and AWF is the adjustment factor of each constituent stock assigned at each rebalancing date.

The Adjustment Weight Factor, AWF, is calculated for each constituent stock, i, at each index rebalancing date, t, as follows:

*where* N is the number of stocks in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and Z is an index-specific constant set for the purpose of deriving the AWF.

In order to maintain index continuity, it is necessary to adjust the Divisor at the rebalancing so that the Index Level is not altered by the rebalancing:

Therefore,

 

 

**The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index Maintenance and Adjustments** 

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index's constituent membership is reviewed once a year, with changes effective after the close of the last business day of January. The reference date for such additions and deletions is after the close of the last business day of December. In addition to the annual reconstitution, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index re-weights quarterly, after the close of business of the last business day of January, April, July and October. The reference date for such re-weightings is seven business days prior to the last business day of the re-weighting month.

With the exception of spin-offs, no additions are made to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index between rebalancings. Between rebalancings, a stock can be deleted from the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index due to corporate events such as mergers, takeovers, delistings, suspensions, spin-offs/demergers or bankruptcies or as a result of the monthly dividend process as described below. In addition, constituent stocks may be also deleted during annual reconstitution if the company no longer meets the eligibility criteria described above or between rebalancings if the stock is removed from the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index.

Constituents of S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index are reviewed on a monthly basis for ongoing eligibility. At the discretion of S&P Dow Jones, a S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index constituent may be removed effective prior to the open of the first business day of the following month if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A scheduled dividend payment is omitted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A company announces that it will cease paying dividends for an undetermined
period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A company announces a reduced dividend amount and S&P Dow Jones determine
that it will no longer qualify for the S&P 500 <sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index at the subsequent reconstitution as a result.

Spin-offs are added to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index on the ex-date. If the spin-off remains in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, both the parent company and spin-off remain in the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index until the next index rebalancing, *provided* that each gives an indication it will continue and/or initiate a consistent dividend paying policy. If the spin-off does not indicate it will continue and/or initiate a consistent dividend paying policy, it is removed from the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index after the first day of regular way trading. The proceeds reinvest back into the parent company. The yearly dividend increase history of the parent company is assigned to both the parent and spun-off company before the spin-off effective date. Spin-off events are considered inclusive of split-off and other demerger corporate actions. To determine annual dividend payments, the dividends of the parent and spun-off company are combined until two full calendar year cycles of dividend payments are available for both the parent and spun-off company. For evaluation purposes the combined dividend amount is adjusted by the spin-off ratio. Subsequent dividend comparisons are based on the annual dividend amounts of each respective company.

For merger and acquisition events, S&P Dow Jones, at its discretion, may retain the dividend history for newly formed entities from their predecessor companies.

**Governance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index**

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index is maintained by an S&P Dow Jones index committee (with respect to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index, the "**Index Committee**"). The Index Committee meets regularly. At each meeting, the Index Committee may review pending corporate actions that may affect the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index constituents, statistics comparing the composition of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and any significant market events. In addition, the Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for selecting companies, treatment of dividends, share counts or other matters.

S&P Dow Jones considers information about changes to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and related matters to be potentially market moving and material. Therefore, all Index Committee discussions are confidential.

The Index Committee reserves the right to make exceptions when applying the methodology if the need arises. In any scenario where the treatment differs from the general rules S&P Dow Jones will provide sufficient notice, whenever possible.

In addition to the daily governance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and maintenance of index methodologies, at least once within any 12-month period, the Index Committee reviews the methodology to ensure that the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index continues to achieve the stated objectives and that the data and methodology remain effective. In certain instances, S&P Dow Jones may publish a consultation inviting comments from external parties.

**Background on the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index**

All information contained in this underlying supplement regarding the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones. The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones. S&P Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index.

The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is designed to measure the performance of 100 large-capitalization multinational companies whose businesses are global in nature and that derive a substantial portion of their operating income from multiple countries. The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol "OOI."

**Composition of the S&P**<sup>®</sup> **Global 100 Index**

 

*Constituent Selection*. Constituent selection is at the discretion of the Index Committee (as defined below). Companies included in the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index are screened for global exposure, sector representation, liquidity and size. Stocks with relatively larger size and higher liquidity are preferred over others. In addition, companies must meet the following requirements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Global Exposure*. Companies must have global exposure to be eligible
for the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index. Companies are considered global in nature if both the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o More than 30% of their revenues are generated outside of the domicile region.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o More than 30% of their assets are located outside of the domicile region.

In addition to the above conditions, revenue exposure in all three "primary" regions (North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific) must be represented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Sector Classification*. Sector balance, as measured by a comparison
of each GICS sector's weight in the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index relative to its weight in the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 1200 Index is also considered in the selection of companies. The S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 1200 Index measures the performance
of large-capitalization stocks from major markets around the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Market Capitalization*. Companies considered for addition to the S&P <sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index must have a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of US$5 billion.

 

*Multiple Share Classes*. The securities of companies with multiple share class structures (including companies with listed and unlisted share classes) are eligible to be added to the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, subject to the eligibility requirements of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index.

**Calculation of the S&P**<sup>®</sup> **Global 100 Index**

The S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is a float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index calculated in U.S. dollars. On any given day, the index value of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is the total float-adjusted market capitalization of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index's constituents *divided* by its divisor. The float-adjusted market capitalization reflects the price of each stock in the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index *multiplied* by the number of shares used in the index value calculation.

 

*Float Adjustment.* Float adjustment means that the number of shares outstanding is reduced to exclude closely held shares from the calculation of the index value because such shares are not available to investors. The goal of float adjustment is to adjust each company's total shares outstanding for long-term strategic shareholders, who often have interests such as maintaining control rather than the shorter-term economic fortunes of the company. Generally, these long-term strategic shareholders include, but are not limited to, officers and directors, private equity, venture capital and special equity firms, asset

managers and insurance companies with direct board of director representation, other publicly traded companies that hold shares, holders of restricted shares, company-sponsored employee share plans/trusts, defined contribution plans/savings, and investment plans, foundations or family trusts associated with the company, government entities at all levels (other than government retirement/pension funds), sovereign wealth funds and any individual person who controls a 5% or greater stake in a company as reported in regulatory filings. Restricted shares are generally not included in total shares outstanding except for shares held as part of a lock-up agreement. Shares that are not considered outstanding are also not included in the available float. These generally include treasury stock, stock options, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock and rights.

 

*Divisor.* Continuity in index values of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is maintained by adjusting its divisor for all changes in its constituents' share capital after its base date. This includes additions and deletions to the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, rights issues, share buybacks and issuances and non-zero price spin-offs. The value of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index's divisor over time is, in effect, a chronological summary of all changes affecting the base capital of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index. The divisor of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index is adjusted such that the index value of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index at an instant just prior to a change in base capital equals the index value of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index at an instant immediately following that change.

WM/Refinitiv foreign exchange rates are taken daily at 4:00 PM London Time and used in the end-of-day calculation of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index. These mid-market fixings are calculated by the WM Company based on Refinitiv data and appear on Refinitiv pages WMRA.

**Maintenance of the S&P**<sup>®</sup> **Global 100 Index**

 

*Timing of Changes*. Composition changes to the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index typically only occur when a vacancy is created due to mergers, acquisitions, delistings, etc.

 

*Corporate Actions*. Corporate action treatments for the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index mirror those of the relevant regional component index. Spin-offs will be added at a zero price at the market close of the day before the ex-date (with no divisor adjustment), then removed after at least one day of regular way trading.

**Governance of the S&P**<sup>®</sup> **Global 100 Index**

An S&P Dow Jones index committee (with respect to the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index, the "**Index Committee**") maintains the S&P<sup>®</sup> Global 100 Index. The Index Committee meets regularly. All committee members are full-time professional members of S&P Dow Jones' staff. At each meeting, the Index Committee reviews pending corporate actions that may affect index constituents, statistics comparing the composition of an index to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to an index, and any significant market events. In addition, the Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for selecting companies, treatment of dividends, share counts, or other matters.

The Index Committee reserves the right to make exceptions when applying the methodology if the need arises. In any scenario where the treatment differs from the general rules S&P Dow Jones will provide sufficient notice, whenever possible.

In addition to the daily governance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and maintenance of index methodologies, at least once within any 12-month period, the Index Committee reviews the methodology to ensure that the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index continues to achieve the stated objectives and that the data and methodology remain effective. In certain instances, S&P Dow Jones may publish a consultation inviting comments from external parties.

S&P Dow Jones considers information about changes to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Dividend Aristocrats Index and related matters to be potentially market moving and material. Therefore, all Index Committee discussions are confidential.

**Background on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate**

SOFR, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("**FRBNY**") and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. FRBNY reports that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate, plus bilateral Treasury repurchase agreement ("**repo**") transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the "**FICC**"), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("**DTCC**"). SOFR is filtered by FRBNY to remove a portion of the foregoing transactions considered to be "specials." According to FRBNY, "specials" are repos for specific-issue collateral which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a particular security.

FRBNY reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of transaction-level tri-party repo data collected from The Bank of New York Mellon, which currently acts as the clearing bank for the tri-party repo market, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Financial Research, as well as General Collateral Finance Repo transaction data and data on bilateral Treasury repo transactions cleared through the FICC's delivery-versus-payment service.

FRBNY currently publishes SOFR daily on its website. FRBNY states on its publication page for SOFR that use of SOFR is subject to important disclaimers, limitations and indemnification obligations, including that FRBNY may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of SOFR at any time without notice. Information contained in the publication page for SOFR is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered part of, this underlying supplement.
