it has nothing to do with Cisco itself, only its stock and only as a means of determining what the final payment is going to be. It's as if CSCO is an index against which the interest rate is compared to determine what the final payout will be.

Now if the CSCO stock price gets played around with in those final 10 days ("naw, couldn't happen - that would be manipulation!") then the effective interest rate becomes that which is stated in the security which is low. If the underlying stock's price is high enough then the yield will be enhanced accordingly.

That's my take on it. I wouldn't go into one of those, but what the hell do I know?
