What is this Product?

Type This product is an over-the-counter (OTC) option structure
Objectives Hedging
Description: The Target Accrual Redemption Forward (TARF) is a Structured Option that allows the Buyer to hedge (buy/sell) their EURUSD requirement at an agreed Enhanced
Rate that is more favourable than the prevailing forward rate for a number of fixing dates. On each fixing date, a profit figure is calculated if the agreed independent
EURUSD reference rate is less favourable than the Enhanced Rate, and compared to a specified Target Amount. This can either be a monetary figure (e.g. £25,000)
or, more commonly, a number of ‘pips’ of out-performance versus the EURUSD rate. The TARF will continue until the total accumulated profit reaches the set
Target. Once the Target is exceeded the product is then considered redeemed and no further deliveries take place. Should the EURUSD rate be more favourable
than the Enhanced Rate on a fixing date, the client will be obligated to deal the maximum notional amount at the enhanced rate for that month.

Intended This product is only suitable for those corporate customers with a very high degree of experience of hedging currency risk. As the structure could terminate prior to
Customer expiry resulting in little or no protection, the buyer should be in a strong financial position and should also be employing other guaranteed hedge products as part of
their overall hedging strategy.

Term This Document assumes a term of 1 year, a typical duration for this structure type; however, the term of the contract will be agreed with you when entering into the
deal. Once agreed, the buyer retains the right to request cancellation of the contract prior to expiry on demand, although this will incur a cost (see below). Western
Union reserves the right to terminate the contract only in circumstances where the buyer is in breach of the contract terms, or becomes insolvent.

gains/losses arising from movement in the underlying market

* Cost of credit is determined by our assessment of your credit worthiness. This assessment will lead to an internal rating from A to D with the lowest
credit charges for A rated customer. The above costs assume a rating of D.

The Early Exit cost is the charge we will make to close out of your positions either at your request or as a result of your default (see T&Cs for more detail).
This will either be added to any loss or deducted from any profit resulting from the market cost of closing out of your contract.

How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?
Recommended holding period 1 year

The recommended holding period is the duration of the OTC product as agreed in the individual contract. For this product, a holding period of 1 year is
quite common and so has been used as the example; however, if you buy this option the duration should match your underlying cash flow requirements.
There is no minimum holding period per se, but the product performs better when held for at least 1 year and the maximum is 24 months.

In general, the option should be held until the maturity date; however, it can be ended early at your request.
Depending on the market value of the product there may be a gain or loss to you at the point of ending the product. This will be in addition to the Early
Exit Fee listed in the table above.
