(the —Issuerli), an indirect subsidiary of Societe Generale, a French banking corporation (—Societe Generalell), are offering, pursuant to the offering memorandum dated July 16, 2013, (the —Offering Memorandumil), the product supplement relating to Commodity-Linked Notes dated July 16, 2013 (the —Product SupplementH) and this pricing supplement (the —Pricing SupplementH), the Commodity-Linked Market Plus Non-Principal Protected Notes (each, a —Notell and together, the —Notesil) specified herein that may pay at maturity an amount in U.S. dollars, as described herein. The specific terms of the Notes are provided herein. If the terms described herein are different or inconsistent with those described in the accompanying Product Supplement or the Offering Memorandum, the terms described herein shall control. Capitalized terms used in this pricing supplement, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the accompanying product supplement or Offering Memorandum. IISUBJECT TO THE ISSUER'S AND THE GUARANTOR'S CREDIT RISK (ABILITY TO PAY), PAYMENT ON THE MATURITY DATE WILL BE LINKED TO THE AVERAGED PERFORMANCE OF THE REFERENCE COMMODITY OVER THE FINAL AVERAGING DATES, AS COMPARED TO ITS INITIAL COMMODITY VALUE. IIUNLIKE ORDINARY DEBT SECURITIES, THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF ANY PORTION OF THE NOTIONAL AMOUNT TO THE INVESTORS ON THE MATURITY DATE AND DO NOT PAY ANY COUPON. THE NOTES INVOLVE RISKS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN ORDINARY DEBT SECURITIES. SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT, ON PAGE 2 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT AND ON PAGE 7 OF THE ACCOMPANYING OFFERING MEMORANDUM.

Payment at Maturity IISubject to the Issuer's and the Guarantor's credit risk, on the Maturity Date, for each $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes that you hold, you will receive the Redemption Amount, which will equal: if a Downside Trigger Event HAS NOT occurred on the Final Valuation Date, $1,000 plus the product of (i) $1,000 and (ii) the greater of (a) the Contingent Minimum Return and (b) the Commodity Performance; or if a Downside Trigger Event HAS occurred on the Final Valuation Date, $1,000 plus the product of (i) $1,000 and (ii) the Commodity Performance. In this event, the Redemption Amount will be less than $1,000 and you will lose some or all of your invested principal. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date, the Commodity Performance will be negative (by more than -21.25%) and the Redemption Amount for each Note will be significantly less than $1,000. In such instance, for each 1% difference between zero and the Commodity Performance, you will lose 1% of the Notional Amount of your Notes. IF A DOWNSIDE TRIGGER EVENT HAS OCCURRED ON THE FINAL VALUATION DATE, YOU WILL LOSE MORE THAN 21.25% AND COULD LOSE UP TO 100% OF YOUR INITIAL PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.

You should read this summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in (i) this Pricing Supplement, (ii) the —Description of the Notesli section in the accompanying Product Supplement and (iii) the —Description of the Notesil section in the accompanying Offering Memorandum. What are the Notes? The Notes are senior unsecured obligations issued by us and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Societe Generale, New York Branch (—SGNYII or the -Guarantoril) as to the payment of all amounts, when and as they become due and payable. The Notes are not, and will not be, rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Notes are securities in the same series as and have equal rights and obligations as investment grade rated notes and certificates issued by us under the Program (as defined on the cover page of the accompanying Product Supplement). The Notes are substantially riskier than ordinary debt securities. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Notes do not guarantee the return of any portion of your initial investment in the Notes on the Maturity Date and do not pay any interest. Subject to the Issuer's and the Guarantor's credit risk (ability to pay), payment at maturity is linked to the performance of the Reference Commodity indicated on the cover page of this Pricing Supplement. The Notes are non-principal protected; therefore, your principal is at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment in the Notes. The return (if any) on the Notes is linked solely to the settlement price of a single commodity, WTI Crude. The Commodity Performance reflects the averaged performance of the settlement price of WTI Crude, expressed as a percentage, from the Initial Commodity Value to the Final Commodity Value (which reflects the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the five Final Averaging Dates), with each Closing Value used to determine the Commodity Performance as published by the NYMEX and displayed on Bloomberg under the symbol —CL1II on the relevant date of determination. For additional information about WTI Crude, please see the information set forth under Annex A in the accompanying Product Supplement. ANY PAYMENT ON THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO THE CREDITWORTHINESS (ABILITY TO PAY) OF THE ISSUER AND THE GUARANTOR. EFTA01470160 The offering of the Notes is being made by SG Americas Securities, LLC (—SGASII), an affiliate of the issuer, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5121. Also see the section —Risk Factors — We will sell the Notes through our affiliate, SGAS; Potential conflict of interestli in the accompanying Product Supplement. For a detailed description of the general terms of the Notes, see the section —Description of the Notesil in the accompanying Product Supplement and the section —Description of the NotesH in the accompanying Offering Memorandum. What is the minimum required purchase or transfer amount? The minimum investment in the Notes is $10,000 or 10 Notes. No person may, at any time, purchase or transfer Notes in an amount less than $10,000. Do I get my principal back at maturity? The Notes are not principal protected, so you are not guaranteed to receive any return of your principal at maturity. Therefore, your entire principal is at risk. If a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date (which means the Commodity Performance will be negative), your entire invested principal will be exposed to such negative performance. In such case, for each 1% difference between zero and the Commodity Performance, you will lose 1% of the Notional Amount of your Notes. Accordingly, if a Downside Trigger Event happens on the Final Valuation Date, you will lose more than 21.25% and could lose up to 100% of your investment in Notes. 3 EFTA01470161 Is there a limit on how much you can lose on the Notes? No. Your entire principal investment will be at risk, and you could lose up to 100% of your principal. If a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date, the Commodity Performance will be negative and you will lose 1% of the Notional Amount of your Notes for each 1% difference between zero and the Commodity Performance. Accordingly, in this case, you will lose a significant portion (by more than 21.25%) and could lose up to 100% of your initial principal investment in the Notes. Will I receive any coupon payments on the Notes? No. You will not be entitled to any coupon or interest payments during the term of the Notes. Accordingly, your return on the Notes may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security with the same maturity issued by a company with creditworthiness comparable to the Issuer or the Guarantor. How is the Final Commodity Value determined? The Final Commodity Value, which is calculated on the Final Valuation Date, is based on the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates. Therefore, the Final Commodity Value may be less than the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity prior to such dates or on any such dates individually. Since the Final Commodity Value is calculated based on the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates, the values of the Reference Commodity prior to such dates will not be used to determine the Redemption Amount. Therefore, no matter how high the values of the Reference Commodity may be during the term of the Notes, only the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates will be used to calculate the Final Commodity Value and therefore your Redemption Amount at maturity. In addition, because the Final Commodity Value is based on the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates, the Final Commodity Value calculated in this manner may be lower than the value of the Reference Commodity on any one or more of such dates individually. What is a Downside Trigger Event? A Downside Trigger Event occurs if, on the Final Valuation Date, the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity, which is the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the five Final Averaging Dates, is less than the Initial Commodity Value by more EFTA01470162 than 21.25%. Therefore, if the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity on the Final Valuation Date is less than the Downside Trigger Reference Value (which is 78.75% of the Initial Commodity Value), you will lose more than 21.25% and could lose up to 100% of your initial principal investment in the Notes. What are the consequences of a Downside Trigger Event? If a Downside Trigger Event occurs on the Final Valuation Date, your ability to receive your invested principal and at least the Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% WILL BE TERMINATED. In such case, your principal will be fully exposed to the averaged depreciation of the Reference Commodity over the Final Averaging Dates, as compared to the Initial Commodity Value. As a result, you could lose a significant portion and may lose up to 100% of your initial principal investment in the Notes. Can you give me examples of the Redemption Amount payable on the Maturity Date? Payment on the Maturity Date will be linked to the performance of the Reference Commodity over the term of the Notes. On the Maturity Date, for each $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes that you hold, you will receive a Redemption Amount (if any) based on the Commodity Performance, as described on the cover page of this Pricing Supplement. In this Pricing Supplement, we have provided under the heading —Hypothetical Payments on the Notes at Maturityll the hypothetical returns and payments that an investor would receive at maturity for each 4 EFTA01470163 $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes, based on whether or not a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date and various hypothetical values of the Reference Commodity. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and the hypothetical returns set forth in this Pricing Supplement may or may not be the actual returns received by a purchaser of the Notes. Who calculates the Redemption Amount payable on the Maturity Date? We have appointed our affiliate, Societe Generale, to act as Calculation Agent for the Notes. As Calculation Agent, Societe Generale will determine, among other things, the Initial Commodity Value, the Closing Value and Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity, the Commodity Performance, whether or not a Downside Trigger Event has occurred and the Redemption Amount per Note. The Calculation Agent will adjust the terms of the Notes based on certain events affecting the Reference Commodity. The accompanying Product Supplement provides the method of various adjustments in order to take into account the consequences on the Notes relating to events such as a Market Disruption Event, any discontinuation or modification of the Reference Commodity, any alteration of method of calculating the value of the Reference Commodity and a Change in Law Disruption Event. See —Risk Factors — Potential conflictsll in this Pricing Supplement. You should be aware that The Pricing Date and each Final Averaging Date (and, therefore, the Final Valuation Date and the Maturity Date) are subject to postponement and certain other adjustments in the event of a Market Disruption Event as described under the section —Description of the Notes — Market Disruption Eventil in the accompanying Product Supplement. The method for various adjustments to the Closing Value, Initial Commodity Value and Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity and the calculation of the Commodity Performance is provided under —Description of the Notes—Discontinuation or Modification of a Reference Commodity; Alteration of Method of Calculationli in the accompanying Product Supplement. The Final Averaging Dates (in the same number of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days ending on the accelerated Final Valuation Date) are subject to acceleration upon occurrence of an Event of Default as described under —Description of the Notes — Accelerationli in the accompanying Product Supplement. EFTA01470164 The determination of the Final Commodity Value may be made at an earlier date upon a Change in Law Disruption Event as described —Description of the Notes — Change in Lawil in the accompanying Product Supplement. Is there a secondary market for Notes? The Issuer and the Guarantor do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation on any inter-dealer quotation system. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Notes and, as such, information regarding independent market pricing for the Notes may be extremely limited. The Issuer, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, make a secondary market in the Notes and may cease market- making activities if commenced at any time. Because we do not expect other broker-dealers to participate in the secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the Issuer, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates are willing to transact. If none of the Issuer, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates makes a market for the Notes, there will not be a secondary market for the Notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if developed, that it would provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell your Notes easily. Who should consider investing in the Notes? The Notes are not suitable for all investors. The Notes may NOT be suitable for you if: IIYou are not familiar with or do not understand the commodities market. 5 EFTA01470165 IIYou do not believe the Reference basis, over the Final Averaging Dates, as compared IIYou anticipate that on the Final (being equal to the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on of the Final Averaging Dates) will be less than the Initial Commodity Value by more 21.25%. IIYou are not willing to make an investment that, should a Downside Trigger Event occur on the Valuation Date, will fully expose your initial principal investment to the depreciation of the Reference Commodity over the term of the Notes, resulting in the loss of some or all of your p rincipal. I You are unwilling to assume the risk of losing some or all r investment. IIYou are unable or unwilling to hold the Notes to maturity. IIYou seek an investment that has some degree of principal protection at maturity. IIYou prefer to receive interest income from this investment. IIYou prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by an issuer with a similar creditworthiness to that of the Guarantor. IIYou seek an investment for which there Commodity will appreciate, on an averaged to the Initial Commodity Value. Valuation Date, the Final Commodity Value each than of your initial payments and, therefore, seek current will be an active secondary market. IIYou are not comfortable with investing in unsecured obligations issued by us. IIYou are not comfortable with the creditworthiness of the Issuer Guarantor.

Credit risk of the Issuer and Guarantor; trading value of the Notes will be affected by the market's view of our creditworthiness; neither the Notes nor the Guarantee is insured by the FDIC The Notes are subject to our and the Guarantor's credit risk and our and the Guarantor's creditworthiness may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. Investors are dependent on our and Guarantor's ability to pay all amounts due under the terms of the Notes. Therefore, investors are subject to our and the Guarantor's credit risk and to the changes in the market's view of our and the Guarantor's creditworthiness. Our ability to pay our obligations under the Notes is dependent upon a number of factors, including our and the Guarantor's creditworthiness, financial conditions and results of operations. No assurance can be given, and none is intended to be given, that you will receive any amount on your investment in the Notes. In the event the Issuer and the Guarantor were to default on their obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes. YOU FACE THE RISK OF NOT RECEIVING ANY PAYMENT ON YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE OR THE GUARANTOR FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY OR ARE OTHERWISE UNABLE TO PAY OUR OR ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS. If the Issuer or the Guarantor defaults on its obligations under the Notes, EFTA01470168 your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. See —Risk Factors — Your Return may be limited or delayed by the insolvency of Societe Generalell and —Description of the Notes — Events of Default and Remedies; Waiver of Past Defaultsfi in the Offering Memorandum. You should also be aware that the trading value of the Notes prior to redemption by us will be affected by changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in our creditworthiness is likely to adversely affect the value of the Notes. The Indenture does not contain any restrictions on our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to sell, pledge or otherwise convey all or any securities. We, the Guarantor and our affiliates will not pledge or otherwise hold any security for the benefit of holders of the Notes. Consequently, in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving us or the Guarantor, as applicable, any securities we hold as a hedge to the Notes will be subject to the claims of our creditors generally and will not be available specifically for the benefit of the holders of the Notes. Neither the Notes, the Guarantee nor your investment in the Notes are insured by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (—FDICII), the Bank Insurance Fund or any U.S. or French governmental or deposit insurance agency. Therefore, neither the Notes nor the Guarantee are deposit liabilities of the Issuer or the Guarantor, respectively. The Notes are not insured by any third parties The Notes will be solely our and the Guarantor's obligations, and no other third party entity will have any obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make any payments or deliveries with respect to the Notes. 7 EFTA01470169 Your entire principal is at risk; No guaranteed return of any portion of your initial principal investment in the Notes The Notes are not principal protected, so you are not guaranteed to receive any return of your principal at maturity. Therefore, your entire principal is at risk. Our payout to you at maturity for each Note will depend on the Final Commodity Value, which, in turn, is based on the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates. If a Downside Trigger Event has occurred (i.e., if the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity, being equal to the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates, is less than the Initial Commodity Value by more than 21.25%), your entire principal investment will be exposed to the depreciation of the Reference Commodity over the term of the Notes. In such case, for each 1% difference between zero and the Commodity Performance you will lose 1% of the Notional Amount of your Notes. If a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date, you will lose more than 21.25% and could lose up to 100% of your initial principal investment in the Notes. Your investment in the Notes may result in a loss of up to 100% of your principal; the Notes do not pay any coupon The Notes do not guarantee the return of any portion of your initial principal investment and, therefore, your investment in the Notes may result in a loss (up to 100% of your principal amount in the Notes). The terms of the Notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay you any coupon, we will not pay you a fixed amount on the Maturity Date and we may pay you less than your initial investment amount in the Notes. As a result, your return, if any, on the Notes may be less than that which would be payable on such ordinary debt securities or other investments. Furthermore, even if the Notes pay a positive return at maturity, such return may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security with the same maturity issued by a company with creditworthiness comparable to ours or the Guarantor or other investments. The return on the Notes (if any) may not compensate you for any opportunity cost implied by inflation and other factors relating to the time value of money. You should be aware that our payout to you at maturity for each Note will depend on the performance of the Final Commodity Value, as compared to the Initial Commodity Value, EFTA01470170 whether a Downside Trigger Event has occurred, and the extent to which the Commodity Performance is positive or negative. If a Downside Trigger Event has occurred, you will lose some or all of your initial investment in the Notes. Limited protection against loss Subject to the credit risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor, your principal is conditionally protected against loss so long as the Reference Commodity does not depreciate by more than 21.25% against its Initial Commodity Value on the Final Valuation Date. However, if the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity on the Final Valuation Date is less than the Downside Trigger Reference Value (which reflects 78.75% of the Initial Commodity Value), a Downside Trigger Event will occur, and the payoff at maturity will be fully exposed to the depreciation of the Reference Commodity on the Final Valuation Date, which means that you will lose some or all of your initial principal investment in the Notes. Under such circumstance, for each 1.00% difference between zero and the Commodity Performance, you will lose 1.00% of the Notional Amount of your Notes. You will be subject to this potential loss of principal (up to 100% of your principal) even if the Closing Value of the Reference Commodity on one or more Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Final Averaging Dates (or on any such Final Averaging Dates individually) is greater than the Downside Trigger Reference Value. 8 EFTA01470171 Your ability to receive the Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% and your conditional protection may terminate on the Final Valuation Date If the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity (being equal to the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates) is less than the Downside Trigger Reference Value (thereby triggering a Downside Trigger Event), you will lose the right to receive the Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00% on the Notes, your conditional principal protection will be terminated and the payoff at maturity will be fully exposed to the averaged depreciation of the Reference Commodity, as compared to the Initial Commodity Value, over the Final Averaging Dates (i.e., negative Commodity Performance). Under this circumstance, the Commodity Performance will be negative and you will lose 1.00% of the principal amount of your initial investment for every 1% that the Final Commodity Value is less than the Initial Commodity Value. Accordingly, you will lose a significant portion and could lose all of your invested principal in the Notes. Risk of a Downside Trigger Event occurring is greater if the Reference Commodity is volatile The likelihood of the Final Commodity Value being less than the Downside Trigger Reference Value, and thereby triggering a Downside Trigger Event, will depend in large part on the volatility of the Reference Commodity (e.g., the frequency and magnitude of changes in the value of the Reference Commodity). The value of the Reference Commodity has in the past experienced significant volatility. If a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date, you will lose a significant portion and could lose up to 100% of your initial principal investment in the Notes. The Final Commodity Value is based on the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates and may be less than the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity prior to such dates or on any such dates individually Since the Final Commodity Value is calculated based on the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the five Final Averaging Dates, the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity prior to such dates will not be used to determine the Redemption Amount. Therefore, no matter how high the value of the Reference Commodity may be during the term of the Notes, only the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates will be used to calculate the Final Commodity Value EFTA01470172 and therefore your Redemption Amount at maturity. In addition, because the Final Commodity Value is based on the arithmetic average of the Closing Values of the Reference Commodity on each of the Final Averaging Dates, the Final Commodity Value calculated in this manner may be lower than the Closing Value of the Reference Commodity on any one or more of such dates individually. Accordingly, the averaging feature may decrease the Final Commodity Value and therefore your return on the Notes. Method of adjustment, valuation or substitution may negatively affect the value of the Notes The accompanying Product Supplement provides the method of adjustment, postponement, early valuation or substitution in order to take into account the consequences on the Notes of certain events (including any Market Disruption Event, Hedging Disruption Event and Change in Law Disruption Event) which may affect the Reference Commodity. Any such adjustment, postponement, early valuation or substitution may adversely affect the value of and/or the return on the Notes. Moreover, any such adjustment, postponement, early valuation or substitution may adversely affect (i) the timing when the Initial Commodity Value or the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity on the Final Valuation Date is determined, which could adversely affect your return on the Notes, and/or (ii) the timing of the Maturity Date and, therefore, the timing of any payment at maturity. Lack of liquidity; secondary market is not guaranteed The Notes are most suitable for purchasing and holding to maturity. The Notes will be new securities for which there is no trading market. The Issuer and the Guarantor do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation on any inter-dealer quotation System. While SGAS has advised the Issuer that it intends to make a secondary market in the Notes, SGAS has no obligation to make such a market and may cease market-making activities (if commenced) at any time. SGAS will determine its market-making prices in its sole discretion. Because we do not expect other broker-dealers to participate in the secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which SGAS is willing to transact. If SGAS does not make a market for the Notes, there will not be a secondary market for the Notes. There can be no 9 EFTA01470173 assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if developed, that it would provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell your Notes easily. Certain built-in costs are likely to adversely affect the value of the Notes prior to maturity While the Redemption Amount described in this Pricing Supplement is based on your full principal investment in the Notes, the original Issue Price of the Notes includes the Distributors' commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which SGAS (or another broker-dealer affiliated with us) may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original Issue Price, and any sale of your Notes prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The secondary market prices of the Notes will also be affected by a number of factors aside from the agent's commission and hedging costs, as described under —Risk Factors — The value of any Reference Commodity and the secondary market price of the Notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factorsil in the accompanying Product Supplement The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity. Holding of the Notes by our affiliates and future sales The aggregate Notional Amount of the Notes being offered in this offering is not being purchased by investors. One or more of our affiliates has agreed to purchase the unsold portion. Such affiliate or affiliates intend to hold the Notes, which may affect the supply of Notes available for secondary trading and therefore may adversely affect the price of the Notes in any secondary trading. If a substantial portion of any Notes held by our affiliates were to be offered for sale following this offering, the market price of such Notes could fall, especially if secondary trading in such Notes is limited or illiquid. The Notes may be subject to certain risks specific to WTI Crude WTI Crude is an energy-related commodity. Consequently, in addition to factors affecting commodities generally that are described herein and in the Product Supplement, the Notes may be subject to a number of additional factors specific to energy-related commodities, and in particular to WTI Crude, that might cause price volatility. These may include, among others: IIchanges in the level of industrial and commercial activity with high levels of energy demand; EFTA01470174 II disruptions in the supply chain or in the production or supply of other energy sources; I technological advances or the discovery of new oil reserves leading to increases in the worldwide production of crude oil; I further development and commercial exploitation of alternative energy sources, including solar, wind or geothermal energy; I price changes in alternative sources of energy; I adjustments to inventory; I variations in production and shipping costs; I geopolitical events; I costs associated with regulatory compliance, including environmental regulations; and IIchanges in industrial, government and consumer demand, both in individual consuming nations and internationally. These factors interrelate in complex ways, and the effect of one factor may offset or enhance the effect of another factor and may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. The Notes May Be Subject to Certain Risks Specific to WTI Crude Prices Trading in commodity futures contracts, including futures contracts for WTI Crude, is speculative and can be extremely volatile. It is expected that generally the market value of the Notes will depend primarily on the settlement price of crude oil. Crude oil prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors and events, as described herein. Crude oil prices are generally more volatile and subject to greater dislocation than prices of other commodities. Crude oil prices may change rapidly over a short period of time as a result of supply disruptions stemming from world events, or domestic problems such as refinery or pipeline outages. These events tend to effect prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Market expectations about these events and speculative activity also cause prices to fluctuate. Over the past few years, crude oil prices have 10 EFTA01470175 experienced unprecedented volatility and have reached historically high levels followed by precipitous declines. There can be no assurance that crude oil prices will reach their historic highs again or that such volatility will subside. It is possible that lower prices, or increased volatility, will adversely affect the price of WTI Crude, and as a result, the market value of your Notes and the amount you receive at maturity, if any. In addition, crude oil prices are determined with significant influence by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (—OPECH). OPEC has the potential to influence oil prices world-wide because its members possess a significant portion of the world's oil supply. Further, if oil demand rises quickly or supply declines unexpectedly due to refinery production problems or lagging imports, stocks of oil may decline rapidly. When stocks are low and falling, some wholesalers may become concerned that supplies may not be adequate over the short term and bid higher for the available product, leading to further price increases. It is impossible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors on the price of crude oil. Sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may also occur, for example, upon commencement of hostilities, or cessation of existing hostilities, that may exist in countries or regions producing oil, the introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction of substitute products or commodities Any such changes in the supply and demand of crude oil may result in significant volatility in the price of the reference asset and accordingly, may adversely affect the market value of your Notes and the payment you receive at maturity, if any. Many economic and market factors will impact the value of the Notes In addition to the settlement price of the Reference Commodity on any trading day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including: IIthe expected volatility of the price of WTI Crude, and of the prices of exchange-traded futures contracts for the purchase or delivery of WTI Crude; II II the time to maturity of the Notes; interest and yield rates in the market generally; a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; EFTA01470176 II global supply and demand for WTI Crude, and supply and demand for exchange- traded futures contracts for the purchase or delivery of WTI Crude; supply and demand for the Notes; and IIour and Guarantor's creditworthiness. The Notes offer exposure to futures contracts physical commodities The Notes will reflect a return based on the nearby NYME -traded WTI Crude futures contract and do not provide exposure price of a commodity futures contract reflects the expected value of the commodity upon delivery in the future, whereas the spot price of a commodity reflects the immediate delivery value of the commodity. A variety of factors can lead to a disparity between the expected future price of a commodity and the spot price at a given point in time, such as the cost of storing the commodity for the term contract, interest charges incurred to finance the purchase of the commodity and expectations demand for the commodity. The price movement of a futures contract is typically correlated with the movements of the spot price of the reference commodity, but the correlation is generally imperfect and price moves in the spot market may not be reflected in the futures market (and vice versa). Accordingly, the Notes may underperform a similar investment that reflects the return on the physical commodity. Prices of commodities and commodity futures contracts are highly volatile and may change unpredictably Commodity prices are highly volatile and, in many sectors, have experienced unprecedented historical volatility in the past few years. Commodity prices are factors including: changes in supply and demand relationships (whether actual, perceived, anticipated, unanticipated or unrealized); weather; agriculture; trade; fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies; disease; pestilence; technological developments; changes in interest rates, whether through governmental action or market movements; monetary and other 11 and not direct exposure to performance of the relevant to WTI Crude spot prices. The of the futures concerning supply and affected by numerous EFTA01470177 governmental policies, action and inaction; macroeconomic or geopolitical and military events, including political instability in some oil-producing countries; and natural or nuclear disasters. Those events tend to affect prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Market expectations about these events and speculative activity also cause prices to fluctuate. These factors may adversely affect the performance of the Reference Commodity and, as a result, the market value of the Notes, and the payment you will receive on the Notes, if any. Moreover, the prices of many of the commodities, particularly energy and agricultural commodities, reached historically high levels in 2009. Since reaching such highs, prices have fallen precipitously, to approximately 25% of their historic highs, in some cases, and prices have experienced unprecedented volatility since that time. In the case of many commodities, recent prices have also risen substantially, although they have not reached their historically high levels. There is no assurance that prices will again reach their historically high levels or that volatility will subside. It is possible that lower prices, or increased volatility, will adversely affect the performance of Reference Commodity and, as a result, the market value of the Notes. Changes in law or regulation relating to commodity futures contracts may adversely affect the market value of the Notes and the amount payable on your Notes Futures contracts and options on futures contracts, including those related to the Reference Commodity, are subject to extensive statutes, regulations, and margin requirements. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, commonly referred to as the —CFTC,II and the exchanges on which such futures contracts trade are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. Furthermore, certain exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuations in futures contract prices that may occur during a single five-minute trading period. These limits could adversely affect the market prices of relevant futures and options contracts and forward contracts. The regulation of commodity transactions in the U.S. is subject to ongoing modification by government and judicial action. In addition, various non-U.S. governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the commodity markets EFTA01470178 and the need to regulate the derivative markets in general. The effect on the value of the Notes of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to the interests of holders of the Notes. For example, the Dodd—Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (—Dodd-FrankM), which was enacted on July 21, 2010, requires the CFTC to establish limits on the amount of positions that may be held by any person in futures contracts on a commodity, options on such futures contracts and swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. In particular, on October 18, 2011, the CFTC adopted interim and final position limits that would have applied to a party's combined futures, options and swaps position in any one of 28 physical commodities and economically equivalent futures, options and swaps. These limits would have, among other things, expanded existing position limits applicable to options and futures contracts to apply to swaps and applied them across affiliated and controlled entities and accounts. However, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association jointly filed a legal challenge to the position limit rules, which were due to take effect on October 12, 2012, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On September 28, 2012, the court vacated the position limit rules and remanded them to the CFTC. The CFTC announced on November 15, 2012 that it will appeal the court's decision. If position limit rules are ultimately upheld in an appeal or if substantially similar rules are adopted and implemented by the CFTC, such rules could interfere with our ability to enter into or maintain hedge positions in instruments subject to the limits, and consequently, we may need to decide, or be forced, to sell a portion, possibly a substantial portion, of our hedge position in the Reference Commodity or futures contracts on the Reference Commodity or related contracts. Similarly, other market participants would be subject to the same regulatory issues and could decide, or be required to, sell their positions in the Reference Commodity or futures contracts on the Reference Commodity or related contracts. While the effects of these or other regulatory developments are difficult to predict, if this broad market selling were to occur, it would likely lead to declines, possibly significant declines, in the price of the Reference Commodity or futures contracts on the Reference Commodity and therefore, the value of and return on the Notes. Other regulatory organizations have proposed, and in the future may propose, EFTA01470179 further reforms similar to those enacted by the Dodd-Frank Act or other legislation which could have an adverse impact on the 12 EFTA01470180 liquidity and depth of the commodities, futures and derivatives markets. For example, the European Commission recently published a proposal developed by the European Securities and Markets Authority (—ESMAII), which updates the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, commonly known as —MiFID IIH, and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation, commonly known as —MiFIR.II The scope of the final regulations and the degree to which member states will be allowed discretion in implementing the directive is yet to be seen. If these regulations are adopted, including, for example, regulations requiring position limits, they could substantially reduce liquidity and increase volatility in the commodities futures contracts such as those related to the Reference Commodity, which could adversely affect the prices of such contracts and, in turn, the market value of the Notes and the amounts payable on the Notes at maturity. The European Commission has also adopted the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (—EMIRH), which requires many OTC derivatives to be centrally cleared and, together with technical standards published and to be published by ESMA, will establish margin and capital requirements for non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives. There exists potential for inconsistency between regulations issued by the CFTC and technical standards adopted under EMIR, which could lead to market fragmentation. You should be aware that the adoption of rules or regulations to implement Dodd-Frank or any similar rules or regulations by other regulatory bodies may cause a Change in Law Disruption Event. For more information on consequences of a Change in Law Disruption Event, please see —Risk Factors - The determination of the Final Commodity Value for any Reference Commodity may be made early upon the occurrence of a Change in Law Disruption Event, which could adversely affect your return (if any) on the Notesil and —Description of the Notes—Change in Lawli in the Product Supplement. The Relevant Exchange has no obligation to consider your interests The Relevant Exchange is responsible for calculating the official settlement price for the Reference Commodity. The Relevant Exchange may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the official settlement price for the Reference Commodity. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of and the return on the Notes. The Relevant Exchange has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the official settlement price for the Reference EFTA01470181 Commodity. Single commodity prices tend to be more volatile than, and may not correlate with, the prices of commodities generally The Notes are linked exclusively to WTI Crude and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broadbased commodity index. The price of WTI Crude may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices of commodities generally. Because the Notes are linked to the price of a single commodity, they carry greater risk and may be more volatile than investments linked to the prices of multiple commodities or a broad-based commodity index. Owning the Notes is not the same as owning WTI Crude or WTI Crude-related futures contracts directly Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in WTI Crude. As a holder of the Notes, investing in the Notes will not make you a holder of WTI Crude and the return on your Notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually purchased WTI Crude, or exchange traded or over-thecounter instruments based on WTI Crude. You will not have any rights that holders of such assets or instruments have. Potential conflicts We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as Calculation Agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In addition, we and our affiliates may engage in trading and other business activities relating to the Reference Commodity. In connection with such activities, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and other affiliates of ours may be adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. Please see the section of the accompanying Product Supplement entitled —Risk Factorsil for a more detailed discussion of these risks. 13 EFTA01470182 Certain risks specifically relating to the Reference Commodity Please refer to the section —Risk Factors — Risks relating to each Reference Commodityll in the accompanying Product Supplement for additional risk factors relating to the Reference Commodity. Tax Treatment There is no direct legal authority as to the proper tax treatment of the Notes, and therefore significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain as to both the timing and character of any inclusion in income in respect of your Notes. Because of this uncertainty, we urge you to consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in a Note. For a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in a Note, please see the discussion under —Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax ConsiderationsH herein and under —Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Discussion — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes Other Than as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes — Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Other Executory Contractsll in the accompanying Product Supplement. These risks are explained in more detail and other important risks are described in the Product Supplement and the Offering Memorandum under —Risk Factorsdl 14 EFTA01470183 HYPOTHETICAL PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES AT MATURITY The following table illustrates the payment an investor would receive on the Maturity Date as described herein for each $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes. These examples are based on hypothetical values for the Reference Commodity. The hypothetical returns set forth below assume an Initial Commodity Value of 105.49 and a Downside Trigger Reference Value of 83.07 and certain hypothetical returns in scenarios in which a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred reflect the Contingent Minimum Return of 10.00%. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and the payments set forth in the hypothetical table may or may not be the actual payments received by a purchaser of the Notes. Numbers appearing in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. Final Commodity Value 179.33 168.78 158.24 147.69 137.14 126.59 116.04 110.76 105.49 94.94 84.39 73.84 63.29 52.75 42.20 31.65 21.10 10.55 0.00 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 5.00% 0.00% -10.00% -20.00% EFTA01470184 -30.00% -40.00% -50.00% -60.00% -70.00% -80.00% -90.00% -100.00% Commodity Performance Return on the Notes if a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred $1700.00 $1600.00 $1500.00 $1400.00 $1300.00 $1200.00 $1100.00 $1100.00 $1100.00 $1100.00 $1100.00 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Return on the Notes if a Downside Trigger Event has occurred N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A $700.00 $600.00 $500.00 EFTA01470185 $400.00 $300.00 $200.00 $100.00 $0.00 15 EFTA01470186 The following examples illustrate how the returns set forth in the table above are calculated. Example 1: A Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the value of the Reference Commodity increases from the Initial Commodity Value of 105.49 to a Final Commodity Value of 168.78. Because a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the Commodity Performance of 60.00% is greater than the Contingent Minimum Return, the investor receives a Redemption Amount of $1,600.00 per $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes, calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x 60.00%) = $1,600.00 This example illustrates that if a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date of the Notes and the Commodity Performance is greater than 10%, you will participate fully in the upside performance of the Reference Commodity. Example 2: A Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the value of the Reference Commodity increases from the Initial Commodity Value of 105.49 to a Final Commodity Value of 110.76. Because a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the Commodity Performance of 5.00% is less than the Contingent Minimum Return, the investor receives a Redemption Amount of $1,100 per $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes, calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x 5.00%) = $1,100.00 This example illustrates that if a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date of the Notes and the value of the Reference Commodity has increased in an amount less than the Contingent Minimum Return, you will be entitled to a minimum return equal to the Contingent Minimum Return. Example 3: A Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the value of the Reference Commodity decreases from the Initial Commodity Value of 105.49 to a Final Commodity Value of 94.94. Because a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the Commodity Performance of -10.00 is less than the Contingent Minimum Return, the investor receives a Redemption Amount of $1,100 per $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes, calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x 10.00%) = $1,100.00 This example illustrates that if a Downside Trigger Event has not occurred on the Final Valuation Date, EFTA01470187 even if the Final Commodity Value of the Reference Commodity has decreased from the Initial Commodity Value, you will still be entitled to a minimum return equal to the Contingent Minimum Return, so long as the Final Commodity Value is not less than the Downside Trigger Reference Value. Example 4: A Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date and the value of the Reference Commodity decreases from the Initial Commodity Value of 105.49 to a Final Commodity Value of 31.65. Because a Downside Trigger Event has occurred and the Commodity Performance is —70.00%, the investor receives a Redemption Amount of $300.00 per $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes, calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x —70.00%) = $300.00 This example illustrates that if a Downside Trigger Event has occurred on the Final Valuation Date, your payoff on the Notes will be less than your principal investment in the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Downside Trigger Event has occurred, you will lose more than $212.50 per $1,000 Notional Amount of Notes and could you lose up to all of your principal investment in the Notes. 16 EFTA01470188 SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICT OF INTEREST) As described in the section of the accompanying Offering Memorandum titled —Plan of DistributionO and in the section of the accompanying Product Supplement titled —Supplemental Plan of Distributiondl we will enter into one or more arrangements with Distributors, which includes SGAS, whereby each Distributor will distribute the Notes. Such distributions may occur on or subsequent to the Issue Date. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acting as the Placement Agent, will receive from SGAS, the primary agent, a fixed sales commission of 1.00% for each Note it sells. In addition, 3PMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will purchase Notes from SGAS for sales to certain fiduciary accounts at a purchase price to such accounts of 99.00% of the stated Notional Amount per Note and will forgo any sales commission with respect to such sales. SGAS, one of the potential selling agents in this offering of Notes, is an affiliate of ours and, as such, has a —conflict of interestH in this offering within the meaning of FINRA 5121. Consequently, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA 5121. SGAS is not permitted to sell any Notes to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. Each Distributor or any dealer selling a Note to an account with respect to which it receives a management fee will forego any commission on such sale, and this may result in holders of such accounts being entitled to purchase the Notes at a price lower than $1,000 per Note, but not less than $990.00 per note. If SGAS provides a secondary market for the Notes, any market-making price quoted by SGAS will be net of all or a portion of any commission paid or allowance made to the Distributors. Please note that information in this Pricing Supplement about Issue Date, Issue Price to public and net proceeds to the Issuer relates only to the initial sale of the Notes. If you have purchased the Notes in a secondary market transaction after the initial sale, information about the price and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale. No offers, sales or deliveries of Notes, or distribution of this Pricing Supplement, the Product Supplement or the Offering Memorandum or any other offering material relating to Notes, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us or any Distributor. EFTA01470189 For more information, see sections —Description of the Notes — Redemption and Repurchase — Secondary Market Purchases" and —Risk Factors — Risks related to the secondary market generally in the accompanying Offering Memorandum and see sections —Risk Factors — There may be no secondary market for the Notes; Potential illiquidity of the secondary marketH and —Supplemental Plan of Distributionll in the accompanying Product Supplement. CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS For a discussion of the benefit plan investor consequences related to the Notes, see —Benefit Plan Investor ConsiderationsH in the accompanying Offering Memorandum. CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS CIRCULAR 230 ANY DISCUSSIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS SET FORTH IN THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT WERE WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION AND MARKETING BY THE ISSUER, GUARANTOR AND/OR SGAS OF THE NOTES. SUCH DISCUSSIONS WERE NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PERSON AND WERE NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND THEY CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY PERSON FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING ANY U.S. FEDERAL TAX PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH PERSON. EACH INVESTOR SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR. 17 EFTA01470190 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR (AND EACH EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR OTHER AGENT OF EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR) MAY DISCLOSE TO ANY AND ALL PERSONS, WITHOUT LIMITATION OF ANY KIND, THE TAX TREATMENT AND TAX STRUCTURE OF THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND ALL MATERIALS OF ANY KIND THAT ARE PROVIDED TO THE PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR RELATING TO SUCH TAX TREATMENT AND TAX STRUCTURE (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.6011-4). THIS AUTHORIZATION OF TAX DISCLOSURE IS RETROACTIVELY EFFECTIVE TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE ISSUER, GUARANTOR OR SGAS OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AND EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR REGARDING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. DISCUSSION There is no direct legal authority as to the proper tax treatment of the Notes, and therefore significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain as to both the timing and character of any inclusion in income in respect of the Notes. Under one approach, the Notes should be treated as forward contracts or other executory contracts with respect to the Reference Commodity. We intend to treat the Notes consistent with this approach. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes under this approach for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, it is reasonable to treat the Notes as forward contracts or other executory contracts with respect to the Reference Commodity. Pursuant to this approach, we do not intend to report any income or gain with respect to the Notes prior to their maturity or an earlier sale or exchange and we intend to treat any gain or loss upon maturity or an earlier sale or exchange as long-term capital gain or loss provided that you have held the Note for more than one year for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of certain of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in a Note, please see the discussion under —Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Discussion— U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes Other Than as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes—Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Other Executory Contractsll in the accompanying Product Supplement.
