Calculated Interest Rate = Base Rate + Factor x Reference Index

Calculated Interest Rate ≤ Floor Floor < Calculated Interest Rate < Cap Calculated Interest Rate ≥ Cap
Real Interest Rate Floor (Minimum Interest Rate payable) Base Rate + Factor x Reference Index Cap (Maximum Interest Rate payable)

Period 1

Scenario 1:
Calculated Interest Rate ≤ Floor

Assuming the reference index is -1.177%

Calculated Interest rate

1.00% + (0.85 x -1.177%)
= -0.00045%,
which is less than 0.00% (Floor)
Therefore, Real Interest Rate = Floor = 0.00%

Interest received

USD10,000,000
x 0.00% x 90/360
= USD0

Period 2

Scenario 2:
Floor < Calculated Interest Rate < Cap

Assuming the reference index is 4.750%

Calculated Interest rate

1.00% + (0.85 x 4.750%)
= 5.0375%,
which is between 0.00% (Floor) and 8.00% (Cap)
Therefore, Real Interest Rate = Calculated Interest Rate = 5.04% (Rounded)

Interest received

USD10,000,000
x 5.04% x 90/360
= USD126,000

Period 3

Scenario 3:
Calculated Interest Rate ≥ Cap

Assuming the reference index is 8.236%

Calculated Interest rate

1.00% + (0.85 x 8.236%)
= 8.0006%,
which is larger than 8.00% (Cap)
Therefore, Real Interest Rate = Cap = 8.00%

Interest received

USD10,000,000
x 8.00% x 90/360
= USD200,000



The total settlement amount is calculated based on the sum of the deposit amount and the interest amount of each period, and will be paid to the customer on the maturity date.
USD10,000,000(Deposit Amount) + 0 (Interest received in Period 1) + USD126,000 (Interest Received in Period 2) + USD200,000 (Interest Received in Period 3) = USD10,326,000

Best Case Scenario: The reference index is significantly positive, resulting in the Calculated Interest Rate being at or above the Cap for the entire period.
Total settlement amount received at Maturity: USD10,000,000 (Deposit Amount) + USD600,000 (Interest received during Period 1, 2 and 3) = USD10,600,000

Worst Case Scenario: The reference index is significantly negative, resulting in the Calculated Interest Rate being at or below the Floor for the entire period.
Total settlement amount received at Maturity: USD10,000,000 (Deposit Amount) + 0 (Interest received during Period 1, 2 and 3) = USD10,000,000
