This prospectus supplement, which we refer to as an “index supplement,” describes the S&P 500® Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average™ (each an “index”). Each index may be a Reference Asset or, in the case of a Reference Asset consisting of a basket of indices or exchange traded funds or other measures, a component of the Reference Asset. The applicable pricing supplement will specify the Reference Asset to which your notes are linked as well as the specific terms of the notes.
You should read the applicable pricing supplement, this index supplement, the applicable product supplement, if any, the related prospectus supplement dated March 3, 2016 and the related prospectus dated September 15, 2015 carefully before you invest in a particular issuance of the notes.

Table of Contents
We have derived all information contained in this index supplement regarding the S&P 500® Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information prepared by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P Dow Jones Indices”), a part of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The S&P 500® is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices. S&P Dow Jones Indices has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the S&P 500® Index.
The S&P 500® Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “SPX.”
Criteria for Inclusion in the S&P 500® Index
The S&P 500® Index is intended to be a measure of the U.S. equities markets. The S&P 500® Index includes 500 U.S. companies. The S&P 500® Index is maintained by the U.S. Index Committee, a group of full-time professional members of S&P Dow Jones Indices’ staff. Criteria for addition to the S&P 500® Index include the following:
| • | U.S. Company. Determining factors include the location of the company’s assets & revenues, its corporate structure, its SEC filing type, and its exchange listings. |
| • | Market Capitalization. Companies with market cap in excess of US$5.3 billion. |
| • | Public Float. There must be public float of at least 50%. |
| • | Financial Viability. Financial viability is general defined as having four consecutive quarters of positive as-reported earnings, where as-reported earnings are defined as net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles excluding discontinued operations and extraordinary items. |
| • | Adequate Liquidity and Reasonable Price. The ratio of annual dollar value traded to float adjusted market capitalization for the company should be 1.0 or greater, and the company should trade a minimum of 250,000 shares in each of the six months leading up to the evaluation date. |
| • | Sector Representation. Companies’ industry classifications contribute to the maintenance of a sector balance that is in line with the sector composition of the universe of eligible companies with market cap in excess of US$5.3 billion. |
| • | Treatment of IPOs. Initial public offerings must be seasoned for six to twelve months. |
| • | Company Type. All U.S. common equities listed on the NYSE (including NYSE Arca and NYSE MKT) and the NASDAQ stock market are eligible for inclusion. REITs are also eligible for inclusion. Business development companies (BDCs), closed end funds, ETF’s, ADR’s, ADS’s and certain other types of securities are ineligible for inclusion. |
Continued membership in the S&P 500® Index is not necessarily subject to the above guidelines, and the S&P Dow Jones Indices try to avoid turnover in index membership when possible. The criteria for addition to the S&P 500® Index are no also criteria for continued membership. As a result, constituent companies that appear to violate criteria for addition to the S&P 500® Index may not be removed unless ongoing conditions warrant a change to the index. A company may also be removed due to merger, acquisition or other significant corporate action resulting in a failure to meet inclusion criteria. S&P Dow Jones Indices announces changes to the S&P 500® Index, including the list of constituent companies and methods of calculation, on its website.

Calculation of the S&P 500® Index
The index value is the quotient of the total float-adjusted market capitalization of the index’s constituents and its divisor. The index is calculated based on a “base-weighted aggregative method”. This means that the value of the index reflects the market capitalization of the companies included in the index relative to a specified base period and base value. The calculation of the index uses base period quantities (share counts) to calculate the price change in the index. The base period for the S&P 500® Index is the years 1941—1943 and the base value for the S&P 500® Index is 10. Continuity in index values is maintained by adjusting the divisor for changes in the constituents’ share capital after the base period. This includes additions and deletions to the index, rights issues, share buybacks and issuances, and spin-offs. The divisor’s time series is, in effect, a chronological summary of all changes affecting the base capital of the index. The divisor is adjusted such that the index value at an instant just prior to a change in base capital equals the index value at an instant immediately following that change.
The “market capitalization” of an index constituent is the product of the share price for that company multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. The market capitalization values used to calculate the index are “float adjusted”. This means that the outstanding shares used in the calculation of market capitalization are adjusted to remove the holdings of certain groups of shareholders that are presumed to hold shares for control of the relevant index constituent rather than for investment. These “control” holders are:
| • | officers and directors of the company; |
| • | private equity, venture capital and similar firms; |
| • | shares held for control by another publicly traded company; |
| • | strategic partners; |
| • | holders of restricted stock; |
| • | employee stock ownership plans; |
| • | employee and family trusts; |
| • | foundations associated with the company; |
| • | holders of unlisted share classes of stock; |
| • | government entities, except retirement or pension funds; and |
| • | any individual person who controls a 5% or greater stake in a company as reported in regulatory filings. |
The following holders’ shares are generally included in outstanding shares for purposes of calculating market capitalization:
| • | holdings by depositary banks; |
| • | pension funds; |
| • | mutual funds and exchange traded fund providers; |
| • | company 401(k) plans; |
| • | government retirement or pension funds; |
| • | investment funds of insurance companies; |
| • | asset managers and investment funds; |
IS1-4
Table of Contents
| • | independent foundations; and |
| • | savings and investment plans. |
S&P Dow Jones Indices uses a 5% minimum threshold for control blocks. If shares held by a “control” holder of the type listed above exceed 5% of the outstanding shares, S&P Dow Jones Indices considers those shares to be unavailable and excludes those shares from the float-adjusted count used in the calculation of the market capitalization of the relevant company used in the S&P 500® Index. In addition, even if shares held by directors and officers do not exceed 5%, these shares are still excluded from the float-adjusted count, provided that there are other control blocks of the type described above in amounts greater than the 5% minimum threshold.
For each index constituent, S&P Dow Jones Indices calculates an Investable Weight Factor (“IWF”) to reflect the available shares of the index constituent. The IWF is a fraction equal to the available shares of the index constituent divided by the total outstanding shares of the index constituent. For the purposes of calculating the IWF, the available shares are all outstanding shares of the relevant company other than those excluded as described above. For example, if directors and officers as a group control 3% of a company’s shares, and no other control block of the type described above owns a 5% or greater stake, then S&P Dow Jones Indices would assign the company an IWF of 1.00. If the same company’s directors and officers control 7% of the company’s shares, S&P Dow Jones Indices would assign the company an IWF of 0.93. However, if directors and officers control 3% of a company’s shares and other 5% or greater control blocks of the type described above together hold 20% of a company’s shares, S&P Dow Jones Indices would assign that company an IWF of 0.77.
The float adjusted market capitalization of each company included in the index is equal to the IWF for that company multiplied by the share price of that company’s stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. The value of the index is equal to the sum of the float-adjusted market capitalization for all companies included in the S&P 500® Index divided by the index divisor.
IS1-5
Table of Contents
The index divisor is required to ensure that the value of the S&P 500® Index provides a continuous measure of market valuation despite additions and removals from the index, changes to shares outstanding, or capital actions. In the absence of any adjustment to the divisor, additions and deletions of companies included in the index would alter the value of the index as would share issuances and certain other corporate actions. Following these events, the divisor of the S&P 500® Index is adjusted to offset the change in the market value of the index due to those events. When a company is added to or deleted from the index, the net change in the market value of the index is calculated and this is used to calculate the new divisor. The market values of stocks being added or deleted are based on the prices, shares outstanding, IWFs and any other share count adjustments. There are a large range of different corporate actions ranging from routine share issuances or buy backs to unusual events like spin-offs or mergers that could affect the value of the index. These are listed on the table below with notes about the necessary changes and whether the divisor is adjusted.
| Corporate Action |
Comments |
Divisor Adjustment | ||
| Company added/deleted |
Net change in market value determines the divisor adjustment. |
Yes | ||
| Change in shares outstanding |
Any combination of secondary issuance, share repurchase or buy back—share counts revised to reflect change. | Yes | ||
| Stock split |
Share count revised to reflect new count. Divisor adjustment is not required since the share count and price changes are offsetting. | No | ||
| Spin-off |
If the spun-off company is not being added to the index, the divisor adjustment reflects the decline in index market value (i.e., the value of the spun-off unit). | Yes | ||
| Spin-off |
Spun-off company added to the index, no company removed from the index. | No | ||
| Spin-off |
Spun-off company added to the index, another company removed to keep number of names fixed. Divisor adjustment reflects deletion. | Yes | ||
| Change in IWF |
Increasing (decreasing) the IWF increases (decreases) the total market value of the index. The divisor change reflects the change in market value caused by the change to an IWF. | Yes | ||
| Special Dividend |
When a company pays a special dividend the share price is assumed to drop by the amount of the dividend; the divisor adjustment reflects this drop in index market value. | Yes | ||
| Rights offering |
Each shareholder receives the right to buy a proportional number of additional shares at a set (often discounted) price. The calculation assumes that the offering is fully subscribed. Divisor adjustment reflects increase in market cap measured as the shares issued multiplied by the price paid. | Yes | ||
Changes to the S&P 500® Index in response to corporate actions and market developments are made on an as needed basis and can be made at any time. Changes in a company’s shares outstanding due to its acquisition of another public company are made as soon as reasonably possible (other than de minimis merger and acquisition share changes). All other changes of less than 5% are accumulated and made quarterly on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December.
IS1-6
Table of Contents
Changes in a company’s total shares outstanding of 5% or more due to public offerings, tender offers, Dutch auctions or exchange offers are made as soon as reasonably possible. Other changes of 5% or more (for example, due to company stock repurchases, private placements, an acquisition of a privately held company, redemptions, exercise of options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity participations, at-the-market stock offerings or other recapitalizations) are made weekly, and are announced on Fridays for implementation after the close of trading the following Friday (one week later). Weekly share changes scheduled to be effective on the Friday of a rebalancing week are combined with the quarterly share rebalancing and implemented on Friday of that week. If a 5% or more share change causes a company’s IWF to change by 5 percentage points or more (for example from 0.80 to 0.85), the IWF will be updated at the same time as the share change. IWF changes resulting from partial tender offers are considered on a case-by-case basis. In the case of in-the-money rights issues, share changes are made on the payable date regardless of the size of the share increase.

THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE™
We have derived all information contained in this index supplement regarding the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information prepared by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, a part of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The Dow Jones Industrial Average™ is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices. S&P Dow Jones Indices has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the Dow Jones Industrial Average™.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average™ is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “DJI.”
The Dow Jones Industrial Average™ (the “DJIA™”) represents large and well-known U.S. companies covering all industries other than transportation and utilities. The DJIA™ includes 30 U.S. companies. The DJIA™ is maintained by an Averages Committee consisting of two representatives of The Wall Street Journal and three representatives of S&P Dow Jones Indices. The Averages Committee meets and least semi-annually to review and make changes to the composition of the DJIA™. For the sake of continuity, the companies included in the DJIA™ are rarely changed. Composition changes typically occur following corporate acquisitions or other significant changes in a component company’s core business. When a component company is replaced, the entire index is reviewed and additional changes in the component companies may be made at the same time. There are no quantitative criteria for inclusion in the DJIA™, but a component company generally must have an excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth and be of interest to large numbers of investors. Maintaining adequate sector representation in the DJIA™ is also considered in the selection process.
Calculation of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™
The DJIA™ has been calculated since 1896. The DJIA™ is a price-weighted index. In other words, the index value is determined based on the prices of its component stocks as opposed to the market-capitalization of its components. The index value is equal to the of the sum of the stock prices of the index’s constituents divided by the index divisor. By itself the index divisor is an arbitrary number, but adjustments to the divisor are used to maintain continuity in index values following corporate transactions that alter the outstanding share capital of the stocks included in the DJIA™. Such transactions include stock splits and issuances, spin-offs and other corporate transactions. The divisor is adjusted such that the index value at an instant just prior to such a change equals the index value at an instant immediately following that change.
