* “Current Yield” equals the current Coupon Amount annualized and
divided by the closing price of the ETN on May 30, 2012 or, if the
closing price is not available on May 30, 2012, the previous available
closing price, and rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis.
You are not guaranteed any coupon or distribution amount under the ETNs.
Note: RWXL pays a variable monthly coupon linked to 2 times the cash
distributions, if any, on the Index constituents, less any withholding
taxes. Variations in the amount of monthly distributions will lead to
large variations in the Current Yield as calculated above. As such, the
Current Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on
RWXL.
