we will elect to call the notes prior to maturity when the expected amounts payable on the notes are greater than the amount that would
be payable on other instruments issued by us of comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. The greater likelihood
of us calling the notes in that environment increases the risk that you will not be able to reinvest the proceeds from the called notes
in an equivalent investment with similar potential returns. To the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable
to the notes, you may incur transaction costs such as dealer discounts and hedging costs built into the price of the new securities. We
are less likely to call the notes prior to maturity when the expected amounts payable on the notes are less than the amounts that would
be payable on other comparable instruments issued by us, which includes when a Reference Asset is performing unfavorably to you. Therefore,
the notes are more likely to remain outstanding when the expected amount payable on the notes is less than what would be payable on other

The notes are not linked to a weighted basket, in which the risk may be mitigated and diversified among each of the basket components.
For example, in the case of notes linked to a weighted basket, the return would depend on the weighted aggregate performance of the basket
components reflected as the basket return. As a result, the depreciation of one basket component could be mitigated by the appreciation
of the other basket components, as scaled by the weighting of that basket component. However, in the case of the notes, the individual
performance of each Reference Asset will not be combined, and the depreciation of one Reference Asset will not be mitigated by any appreciation
of any other Reference Assets. Instead, your receipt of Contingent Coupon payments on the notes will depend on the value of each Reference
Asset on each Observation Date, and your return at maturity will depend solely on the Final Level of the Least Performing Reference Asset
if a Trigger Event occurs.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Reference Assets, and greater expected volatility generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity. </B> &mdash; The economic
terms for the notes, including the Contingent Interest Rate, Coupon Barrier Levels and Trigger Levels, are based, in part, on the expected
volatility of the Reference Assets at the time the terms of the notes are set. &ldquo;Volatility&rdquo; refers to the frequency and magnitude
of changes in the level of a Reference Asset. The greater the expected volatility of the Reference Assets as of the Pricing Date, the
greater the expectation is as of that date that the closing level of a Reference Asset could be less than its Coupon Barrier Level on
any Observation Date and that a Trigger Event could occur and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of not receiving a Contingent
Coupon and an increased risk of loss, respectively. All things being equal, this greater expected volatility will generally be reflected
in a higher Contingent Interest Rate than the yield payable on our conventional debt securities with a similar maturity or on otherwise
comparable securities, and/or a lower Trigger Levels and/or Coupon Barrier Levels than those terms on otherwise comparable securities.
Therefore, a relatively higher Contingent Interest Rate may indicate an increased risk of loss. Further, relatively lower Trigger Levels
and/or Coupon Barriers may not necessarily indicate that the notes have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity and/or
paying Contingent Coupons. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the Reference Assets and the potential to lose
a significant portion or all of your initial investment.</TD></TR></TABLE>

All or substantially all of the securities held by the VanEck<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Semiconductor ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business
is directly associated with the semiconductor production and equipment sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater
volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different
investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. As product cycles shorten and manufacturing capacity increases,
these companies may become increasingly subject to aggressive pricing, which hampers profitability. Semiconductor companies are vulnerable
to wide fluctuations in securities prices due to rapid product obsolescence. Many semiconductor companies may not successfully introduce
new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base or achieve general market acceptance for their products, and failure to do so
could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations and financial condition. Reduced demand for end-user products,
underutilization of manufacturing capacity, and other factors could adversely impact the operating results of companies in the semiconductor
production and equipment sector. Semiconductor companies typically face high capital costs and such companies may need additional financing,
which may be difficult to obtain. They also may be subject to risks relating to research and development costs and the availability and
price of components. Moreover, they may be heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or
impairment of those rights. Some of the companies involved in the semiconductor production and equipment sector are also engaged in other
lines of business unrelated to the semiconductor business, and they may experience problems with these lines of business, which could
adversely affect their operating results. The international operations of many semiconductor companies expose them to risks associated
with instability and changes in economic and political conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in foreign regulations, tariffs
and trade disputes, competition from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs and other risks inherent to international
business. The semiconductor production and equipment sector is highly cyclical, which may cause the operating results of many semiconductor
companies to vary significantly. Companies in the semiconductor production and equipment sector also may be subject to competition from
new market entrants. The stock prices of companies in the semiconductor production and equipment sector have been and will likely continue
to be extremely volatile compared to the overall market. These factors could affect the semiconductor production and equipment sector
and could affect the value of the securities held by the VanEck<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Semiconductor ETF and the value of the VanEck<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Semiconductor

companies.</B>&mdash; The value of the KWEB depends upon the stocks of non-U.S. companies, and thus involves risks associated with the
home countries of those non-U.S. companies. The prices of these non-U.S. stocks may be affected by political, economic, financial and
social factors in the home country of each applicable company, including changes in that country&rsquo;s government, economic and fiscal
policies, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions, which could affect the value of the notes. These foreign securities may
have less liquidity and could be more volatile than many of the securities traded in U.S. or other securities markets. Direct or indirect
government intervention to stabilize the relevant foreign securities markets, as well as cross shareholdings in foreign companies, may
affect trading levels or prices and volumes in those markets. The other special risks associated with foreign securities may include,
but are not limited to: less liquidity and smaller market capitalizations; less rigorous regulation of securities markets; different accounting
and disclosure standards; governmental interference; currency fluctuations; higher inflation; and social, economic and political uncertainties.
These factors may adversely affect the performance of the KWEB and, as a result, the value of the notes.</TD></TR></TABLE>

component. In particular, many emerging nations are undergoing rapid change, involving the restructuring of economic, political, financial
and legal systems. Regulatory and tax environments may be subject to change without review or appeal. Many emerging markets suffer from
underdevelopment of capital markets and tax regulation. The risk of expropriation and nationalization remains a threat. Guarding against
such risks is made more difficult by low levels of corporate disclosure and unreliability of economic and financial data.</TD></TR></TABLE>

in China.</B> &mdash; Investments in certain Hong Kong-listed securities may also subject the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF to exposure
to Chinese companies. China may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability. China is an emerging
market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. Over the last few decades,
the Chinese government has undertaken reform of economic and market practices and has expanded the sphere of private ownership of property
in China. However, Chinese markets generally continue to experience inefficiency, volatility and pricing anomalies resulting from governmental
influence, a lack of publicly available information and/or political and social instability. Internal social unrest or confrontations
with other neighboring countries, including military conflicts in response to such events, may also disrupt economic development in China
and result in a greater risk of currency fluctuations, currency non-convertibility, interest rate fluctuations and higher rates of inflation.
Export growth continues to be a major driver of China&rsquo;s rapid economic growth. Reduction in spending on Chinese products and services,
institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of China&rsquo;s key trading partners may have an
adverse impact on the Chinese economy.</TD></TR></TABLE>

sector. </B> &mdash; All or substantially all of the underlying constituents held by the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF are issued
by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the internet sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be
subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector
than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Investments in internet companies may
be volatile. Internet companies are subject to intense competition, the risk of product obsolescence, changes in consumer preferences
and legal, regulatory and political changes. They are also especially at risk of hacking and other cybersecurity events. In addition,
it can be difficult to determine what qualifies as an internet company. These factors could affect the internet sector and could affect
the value of the underlying constituents held by the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF and the price of the KraneShares CSI China Internet

the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat each note as a pre-paid
contingent income-bearing derivative contract for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the opinion of our counsel, Mayer Brown LLP, it
would generally be reasonable to treat the notes as pre-paid contingent income-bearing derivative contracts in respect of the Reference
Assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the notes are uncertain
and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the notes should be taxed in a manner that is different from that described in the
preceding sentence. Please see the discussion in the accompanying product supplement under &quot;Supplemental Tax Considerations&mdash;Supplemental

adjusted market capitalization weighted index. CSI defines free-float of a constituent as the shares outstanding and tradable in the security
market. The identification and calculation of free float by CSI is based on objective information including prospectuses and listing notices,
periodic reports and temporary reports. CSI tracks the changes of free-float shares and adjusts free-float changes resulting from shareholders&rsquo;
behavior every six months. All restricted shares subject to a lock-in period are deemed as non free-float. Non-restricted shares shall
be deemed as free float, if they fall into one of the following types of shares: (1) shares held by founders of the company or their families,
and by senior executives, by directors, or by supervisors, etc.; (2) shares held by the government or its subsidiaries; (3) shares held
by strategic investors for long-term strategic interest; and (4) shares held by employee share plans; provided, however, such non-restricted
shares shall be deemed as non-free float when if the holdings by shareholders or shareholders acting in concert are 5% or greater. Restricted
shares after the lock-in period are treated in the same way as non-restricted shares.</P>
