Risk Factors

 

Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

·Depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, you may lose up to 90% of the principal amount.
·Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the stocks included in the Market Measure.

·The estimated initial value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price.
·If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the estimated initial value of the notes on the pricing date.
·As a noteholder, you will have no rights of a holder of the securities represented by the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive securities, dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities.
·The notes are subject to risks associated with small-size capitalization companies.
