distribution amount under the ETN.
*** “Current Yield (annualized)” equals the current Coupon Amount and the two immediately preceding Coupon Amounts, multiplied
by four (to annualize such coupons), divided by the closing Current Indicative Value of the ETN on its current Coupon Valuation
Date rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis. The Current Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on
the ETN. You are not guaranteed any coupon or distribution amount under the ETN.
Note: DVYL, SDYL, MORL, DVHL, CEFL, LMLP, HDLV, SMHD, LRET, and MRRL pay a variable monthly coupon linked to 2 times the cash
distributions, if any, on the respective underlying index constituents, less withholding taxes, if any. Variations in the amount of
monthly distributions will lead to large variations in the Current Yield as calculated above. As such, the Current Yield for each
is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on these ETNs.
