PRICING SUPPLEMENT dated November 27, 2024 (To the Product Supplement No. WF1 dated December 20, 2023, the Underlying Supplement No. 1A dated May 16, 2024 and the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, each dated December 20, 2023)	Registration Statement No. 333-275898 Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2)

The initial estimated value of the securities determined by us as of the pricing date, which we refer to as the initial estimated value, is $963.51 per security and is less than the public offering price. The market value of the securities at any time will reflect many factors, cannot be predicted with accuracy and may be less than this amount. We describe the determination of the initial estimated value in more detail below.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page PS-10 herein and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement.

The securities are the unsecured obligations of Royal Bank of Canada, and, accordingly, all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk Royal Bank of Canada. If Royal Bank of Canada, as issuer, defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment.

None of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any state securities commission or any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of the securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this pricing supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The securities will not constitute deposits insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other Canadian or U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality. The securities are not bail-inable notes and are not subject to conversion into our common shares under subsection 39.2(2.3) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.

Wells Fargo Securities

* Each calculation day (including the final calculation day) is subject to postponement due to non-trading days and the occurrence of a market disruption event. In addition, the stated maturity date will be postponed if the final calculation day is postponed, and will be adjusted for non-business days. Similarly, the related contingent coupon payment date or call settlement date, as applicable, will be postponed if a calculation day other than the final calculation day is postponed, and will be adjusted for non-business days. For more information regarding adjustments to the calculation days, call settlement dates, contingent coupon payment dates and the stated maturity date, see “General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day—Securities Linked to Multiple Market Measures” and “—Payment Dates” in the accompanying product supplement. For purposes of the accompanying product supplement, each call settlement date, each contingent coupon payment date and the stated maturity date is a “payment date.” In addition, for information regarding the circumstances that may result in a market disruption event, see “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to a Fund—Market Disruption Events” in the accompanying product supplement.

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated December 20, 2023, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated December 20, 2023, relating to our Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series J, of which the securities are a part, the underlying supplement no. 1A dated May 16, 2024 and the product supplement no. WF1 dated December 20, 2023. This pricing supplement, together with these documents, contains the terms of the securities and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials, including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours.

We have not authorized anyone to provide any information or to make any representations other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement and the documents listed below. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. These documents are an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information contained in each such document is current only as of its date.

If the information in this pricing supplement differs from the information contained in the documents listed below, you should rely on the information in this pricing supplement.

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the documents listed below, as the securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the securities.

You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 1000275. As used in this pricing supplement, “Royal Bank of Canada,” the “Bank,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean only Royal Bank of Canada.

The initial estimated value of the securities is based on the value of our obligation to make the payments on the securities, together with the mid-market value of the derivative embedded in the terms of the securities. Our estimate is based on a variety of assumptions, including our internal funding rate (which represents a discount from our credit spreads), expectations as to dividends, interest rates and volatility, and the expected term of the securities.

The securities are our debt securities. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our structured notes, the economic terms of the securities reflect our actual or perceived creditworthiness. In addition, because structured notes result in increased operational, funding and liability management costs to us, we typically borrow the funds under structured notes at a rate that is lower than the rate that we might pay for a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity. The lower internal funding rate, the agent discount and the hedging-related costs relating to the securities reduce the economic terms of the securities to you and result in the initial estimated value for the securities being less than their original issue price. Unlike the initial estimated value, any value of the securities determined for purposes of a secondary market transaction may be based on a secondary market rate, which may result in a lower value for the securities than if our initial internal funding rate were used.

In order to satisfy our payment obligations under the securities, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call options, put options or other derivatives) with an affiliate of the agent, RBCCM and/or one of our other subsidiaries. The terms of these hedging arrangements may take into account a number of factors, including our creditworthiness, interest rate movements, volatility and the tenor of the securities. The economic terms of the securities and the initial estimated value depend in part on the terms of these hedging arrangements. Our cost of hedging will include the projected profit that we or our counterparty(ies) expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our counterparty(ies)’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or could result in a loss.

See “Selected Risk Considerations—Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market—The Initial Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Less Than The Original Offering Price” below.

Any price that the agent makes available from time to time after the original issue date at which it would be willing to purchase the securities will generally reflect the agent’s estimate of their value, less a customary bid-ask spread for similar trades and the cost of unwinding any related hedge transactions. That estimated value will be based upon a variety of factors, including then prevailing market conditions and our creditworthiness. However, for a period of three months after the original issue date, the price at which the agent may purchase the securities is expected to be higher than the price that would be determined based on the agent’s valuation at that time less the bid-ask spread and hedging unwind costs referenced above. This is because, at the beginning of this period, that price will not include certain costs that were included in the original offering price, particularly a portion of the agent discount and commission (not including the selling concession) and the expected profits that we or our hedging counterparty(ies) expect to receive from our hedging transactions. As the period continues, these costs are expected to be gradually included in the price that the agent would be willing to pay, and the difference between that price and the price that would be determined based on the agent’s valuation of the securities less a bid-ask spread and hedging unwind costs will decrease over time until the end of this period. After this period, if the agent continues to make a market in the securities, the prices that it would pay for them are expected to reflect the agent’s estimated value, less the bid-ask spread and hedging unwind costs referenced above. In addition, the value of the securities shown on your account statement will generally reflect the price that the agent would be willing to pay to purchase the securities at that time.

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Funds, see the sections titled “The Energy Select Sector SPDR^® Fund”, “The Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund” and “The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund” below.

If the securities have not been previously automatically called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment or you will not receive a contingent coupon payment, depending on the closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day.

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is the Fund with the lowest performance factor on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund on a calculation day as its closing value on that calculation day divided by its starting value.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment is made on the applicable contingent coupon payment date based on the closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day, as follows:

If the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, then at maturity you will receive (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment, if any) a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is the Fund with the lowest performance factor on the final calculation day, calculated for each Fund on the final calculation day as its ending value divided by its starting value.

Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, as follows:

The following profile illustrates the potential maturity payment amount on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day from its starting value to its ending value, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date. As this profile illustrates, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on whether the securities are automatically called, the actual ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to stated maturity. The performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities.

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read also the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and product supplement. You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.

Risks Relating To The Terms And Structure Of The Securities

If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called Prior To Stated Maturity, You May Lose Some Or All Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Stated Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities at stated maturity. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive a maturity payment amount that will be equal to or less than the face amount, depending on the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

If the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold value, the maturity payment amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the decline in the value of the lowest performing Fund from its starting value (expressed as a percentage of its starting value). The downside threshold value for each Fund is 70% of its starting value. For example, if the securities are not automatically called and the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day has declined by 30.1% from its starting value to its ending value, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside protection feature and you will lose 30.1% of the face amount. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day declines significantly and you may lose some, and possibly all, of the face amount at stated maturity, even if the value of the lowest performing Fund is greater than or equal to its starting value or its downside threshold value at certain times during the term of the securities.

Even if the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its downside threshold value, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face amount, and your yield on the securities, taking into account any contingent coupon payments you may have received during the term of the securities, may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Royal Bank of Canada or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.

The Securities Do Not Provide For Fixed Payments Of Interest And You May Receive No Contingent Coupon Payments On One Or More Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, Or Even Throughout The Entire Term Of The Securities.

On each contingent coupon payment date you will receive a contingent coupon payment if the closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold value. If the closing value of the lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is less than its coupon threshold value, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date, and if the closing value of the lowest performing Fund is less than its coupon threshold value on each calculation day over the term of the securities, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the entire term of the securities.

The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Fund And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Fund Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Funds Perform Favorably.

You are subject to the full risks of each Fund. If any Fund performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Funds perform favorably. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Funds, where the better performance of one Fund could offset the poor performance of the others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Fund is the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day. As a result, the securities are riskier than an alternative investment linked to only one of the Funds or linked to a basket composed of each Fund. You should not invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Fund.

Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Fund That Is The Lowest Performing Fund On Each Calculation Day, And You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Funds.

Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Fund that is the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day. Although it is necessary for each Fund to close at or above its respective coupon threshold value on the relevant calculation day in order for you to receive a contingent coupon payment and at or above its respective downside threshold value on the final calculation day for you to receive the face amount of your securities at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Funds. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Funds, since in such case the performance of the better performing Funds would be blended with the performance of the lowest performing Fund, resulting in a better return than the return of the lowest performing Fund alone.

You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Funds.

It is preferable from your perspective for the Funds to be correlated with each other so that their values will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Funds will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Funds, the more likely it is that one of the Funds will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Funds to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the

Funds will be over the term of the securities. To the extent the Funds represent a different equity market, such equity markets may not perform similarly over the term of the securities.

You May Be Fully Exposed To The Decline In The Lowest Performing Fund On The Final Calculation Day From Its Starting Value, But Will Not Participate In Any Positive Performance Of Any Fund.

Even though you will be fully exposed to a decline in the value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day if its ending value is below its downside threshold value, you will not participate in any increase in the value of any Fund over the term of the securities. Your maximum possible return on the securities will be limited to the sum of the contingent coupon payments you receive, if any. Consequently, your return on the securities may be significantly less than the return you could achieve on an alternative investment that provides for participation in an increase in the value of any or each Fund.

Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Associated With Greater Risk.

The securities offer contingent coupon payments at a higher rate, if paid, than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential contingent coupon payments are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that you may not receive a contingent coupon payment on one or more, or any, contingent coupon payment dates and the risk that you may lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. The volatility of the Funds and the correlation among the Funds are important factors affecting this risk. Volatility is a measurement of the size and frequency of daily fluctuations in the value of a Fund, typically observed over a specified period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. Correlation is a measurement of the extent to which the values of the Funds tend to fluctuate at the same time, in the same direction and in similar magnitudes. Greater expected volatility of the Funds or lower expected correlation among the Funds as of the pricing date may result in a higher contingent coupon rate, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the pricing date that the closing value of at least one Fund will be less than its coupon threshold value on one or more calculation days, such that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities, and that the closing value of at least one Fund will be less than its downside threshold value on the final calculation day such that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. In general, the higher the contingent coupon rate is relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities and that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity.

You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.

If your securities are automatically called, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately six months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.

A Contingent Coupon Payment Date, A Call Settlement Date And The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If A Calculation Day Is Postponed.

A calculation day (including the final calculation day) with respect to a Fund will be postponed if the applicable originally scheduled calculation day is not a trading day with respect to any Fund or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing with respect to that Fund on that calculation day. If such a postponement occurs with respect to a calculation day other than the final calculation day, then the related contingent coupon payment date or call settlement date, as applicable, will be postponed. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the final calculation day, the stated maturity date will be the later of (i) the initial stated maturity date and (ii) three business days after the final calculation day as postponed.

Payments On The Securities Are Subject To Our Credit Risk, And Market Perceptions About Our Creditworthiness May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of The Securities.

The securities are our senior unsecured debt securities, and your receipt of any amounts due on the securities is dependent upon our ability to pay our obligations as they come due. If we were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment. In addition, any negative changes in market perceptions about our creditworthiness may adversely affect the market value of the securities.

The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Uncertain.

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, and significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. Moreover, non-U.S. investors should note that persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the securities may withhold on any coupon paid to a non-U.S. investor, generally at a rate of 30%. We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. You should review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” herein, in combination with the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

There May Not Be An Active Trading Market For The Securities And Sales In The Secondary Market May Result In Significant Losses.

There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. The agent and/or its affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, they are not required to do so and, if they choose to do so, may stop any

market-making activities at any time. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agent or any of its affiliates is willing to buy the securities. Our broker-dealer subsidiary, RBCCM, does not at this time expect to make a market in the securities. If RBCCM determines that the agent is unable or unwilling to make a market in the securities at any time, RBCCM may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities at that time. If RBCCM makes a market in the securities at any time, its valuation of the securities may differ from the agent’s valuation, and consequently the price at which it may be willing to purchase the securities may differ from (and be lower than) the price at which the agent would have purchased the securities at that time. Even if a secondary market for the securities develops, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to easily trade or sell the securities. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your securities in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your securities before maturity, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the price that you paid for them, and as a result, you may suffer significant losses. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.

The Initial Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Less Than The Original Offering Price.

The initial estimated value of the securities is less than the original offering price of the securities and does not represent a minimum price at which we, RBCCM or any of our other affiliates would be willing to purchase the securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. If you attempt to sell the securities prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for them and the initial estimated value. This is due to, among other things, changes in the values of the Funds, the internal funding rate we pay to issue securities of this kind (which is lower than the rate at which we borrow funds by issuing conventional fixed rate debt) and the inclusion in the original offering price of the agent discount, our or our hedge counterparty(ies)’ estimated profit and the estimated costs related to our hedging of the securities. These factors, together with various credit, market and economic factors over the term of the securities, are expected to reduce the price at which you may be able to sell the securities in any secondary market and will affect the value of the securities in complex and unpredictable ways.

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell your securities prior to maturity may be less than your original purchase price, as any such sale price would not be expected to include the agent discount, our or our hedge counterparty(ies)’ estimated profit and our estimated profit or the hedging costs relating to the securities. In addition, any price at which you may sell the securities is likely to reflect customary bid-ask spreads for similar trades. In addition to bid-ask spreads, the value of the securities determined for any secondary market price is expected to be based on a secondary market rate rather than the internal funding rate used to price the securities and determine the initial estimated value. As a result, the secondary market price will be less than if the internal funding rate was used. Moreover, we expect that any secondary market price will be based on WFS’s valuation of the securities, which may differ from (and may be lower than) the valuation that we would determine for the securities at that time based on the methodology by which we determined the initial estimated value range set forth on the cover page of this document.

For a limited period of time after the original issue date, WFS may purchase the securities at a price that is greater than the price that would otherwise be determined at that time as described in the preceding paragraph. However, over the course of that period, assuming no changes in any other relevant factors, the price you may receive if you sell your securities is expected to decline.

The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.

The Initial Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Only An Estimate, Calculated As Of The Time The Terms Of The Securities Are Set.

The initial estimated value of the securities is based on the value of our obligation to make the payments on the securities, together with the mid-market value of the derivative embedded in the terms of the securities. Our estimate is based on a variety of assumptions, including our internal funding rate (which represents a discount from our credit spreads), expectations as to dividends on the Funds of the securities held by the Funds, interest rates and volatility, and the expected term of the securities. These assumptions are based on certain forecasts about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. Other entities, including WFS in connection with determining any secondary market price for the securities, may value the securities or similar securities at a price that is significantly different than we do.

The value of the securities at any time after the pricing date will vary based on many factors, including changes in market conditions, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold the securities in any secondary market, if any, should be expected to differ materially from the initial estimated value of the securities.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to stated maturity will be affected by the then-current value of each Fund, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, which we refer to as the “derivative component factors,” and which are described in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, are expected to affect the value of the securities: performance of the Funds; interest rates; volatility of the Funds; correlation among the Funds; time remaining to maturity; and dividend yields on the securities held by the Funds. When we refer to the “value” of your security, we mean the value you could receive for your security if you are able to sell it in the open market before the stated maturity date.

In addition to the derivative component factors, the value of the securities will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness. The value of the securities will also be limited by the automatic call feature, because if the securities are automatically called, you will not receive the contingent coupon payments that would have accrued, if any, had the securities been called on a later

calculation day or had the securities been held until the stated maturity date. You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the values of the Funds. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the values of the Funds may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities.

Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a “participating dealer,” are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in certain of the activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

Risks Relating To The Funds

The Equity Securities Composing The XLE Fund Are Concentrated In The Energy Sector.

All or substantially all of the equity securities composing the XLE Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the energy sector. As a result, the value of the securities 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. Issuers in energy-related industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy fuels. Markets for various energy-related commodities can have significant volatility, and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers. Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures, and to incur significant amounts of debt, in order to maintain or expand their reserves. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters as well as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events and economic conditions. These companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims.

The Equity Securities Composing The XLF Fund Are Concentrated In The Financial Sector.

All or substantially all of the equity securities composing the XLF Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the financial sector. As a result, the value of the securities 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. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates, fees and prices they can charge, the scope of their activities and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of

capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the financial sector. Changes in government regulation and oversight of financial institutions may have an adverse effect on the financial condition of a financial institution.

The Equity Securities Composing The XLK Fund Are Concentrated In The Technology Sector.

All or substantially all of the equity securities composing the XLK Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the technology sector. As a result, the value of the securities 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. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.

Any Payments On the Securities And Whether The Securities Are Automatically Called Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Funds And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

If the securities are automatically called:

If the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the face amount of your securities plus a final contingent coupon payment on the call settlement date. In the event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and the contingent coupon payment received on the call settlement date.

If the securities are not automatically called:

If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical performance factors of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any). The performance factor of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is its ending value expressed as a percentage of its starting value (i.e., its ending value divided by its starting value).

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity (excluding any final contingent coupon payment); any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the actual amount you will receive at stated maturity will depend on the actual ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day. The performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Set forth below are examples that illustrate how to determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called, if applicable, on a contingent coupon payment date prior to the stated maturity date. The examples do not reflect any specific contingent coupon payment date. The following examples assume that the securities are subject to automatic call on the applicable calculation day. The securities will not be subject to automatic call until the second calculation day, which is approximately six months after the issue date. The following examples reflect the contingent coupon rate of 10.20% per annum and assume the hypothetical starting value, coupon threshold value and closing values for each Fund indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting value or coupon threshold value. The hypothetical starting value of $100.00 for each Fund has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting value for any Fund. The actual starting value and coupon threshold value for each Fund are set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Funds, see the historical information provided below. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1. The closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold value and less than its starting value. As a result, investors receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the XLF Fund has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its hypothetical coupon threshold value, but less than its hypothetical starting value, you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not be automatically called. The contingent coupon payment would be equal to $25.50 per security, determined as follows: (i) $1,000 multiplied by 10.20% per annum divided by (ii) 4, rounded to the nearest cent.

Example 2. The closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is less than its coupon threshold value. As a result, investors do not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the XLK Fund has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is less than its hypothetical coupon threshold value, you would not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date. In addition, the securities would not be automatically called, even though the closing values of the better performing Funds on the relevant calculation day are greater than their respective hypothetical starting values. As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon payment and whether the securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Example 3. The closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its starting value. As a result, the securities are automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment.

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the XLE Fund has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical closing value of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its hypothetical starting value, the securities would be automatically called and you would receive the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date, which is also referred to as the call settlement date. On the call settlement date, you would receive $1,025.50 per security.

You will not receive any further payments after the call settlement date.

Set forth below are examples of calculations of the maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity, assuming that the securities have not been automatically called prior to stated maturity and assuming the hypothetical starting value, coupon threshold value, downside threshold value and ending values for each Fund indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting value, coupon threshold value or downside threshold value. The hypothetical starting value of $100.00 for each Fund has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting value for any Fund. The actual starting value, coupon threshold value and downside threshold value for each Fund are set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Funds, see the historical information provided below. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1. The ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its starting value, the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the XLF Fund has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical downside threshold value, the maturity payment amount would equal the face amount. Although the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is significantly greater than its hypothetical starting value in this scenario, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face amount.

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. In addition, because the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its coupon threshold value, you would receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.

Example 2. The ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its starting value but greater than its coupon threshold value and downside threshold value, the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the XLK Fund has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund is less than its hypothetical starting value, but not by more than 30%, you would receive the face amount of your securities at maturity.

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. In addition, because the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its coupon threshold value, you would receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.

Example 3. The ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold value and downside threshold value, the maturity payment amount is less than the face amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the XLE Fund has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting value by more than 30%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to $450.00 per security, calculated as follows:

= $1,000 × performance factor of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day

= $1,000 × 45.00%

= $450.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $450.00 per security. Because the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold value, you would not receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.

These examples illustrate that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Fund, but will be fully exposed to a decrease in the lowest performing Fund if the ending value of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold value, even if the ending values of the other Funds have appreciated or have not declined below their respective downside threshold value.

You should review carefully the section in the accompanying product supplement entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations.” The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.

Generally, this discussion assumes that you purchased the securities for cash in the original issuance at the stated issue price and does not address other circumstances specific to you, including consequences that may arise due to any other investments relating to the Funds. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect any such circumstances may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your ownership of a security.

In the opinion of our counsel, it is reasonable to treat the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid derivative contracts with contingent coupons, and any coupons as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Securities Treated as Prepaid Derivative Contracts with Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court might not agree with it. A different tax treatment could be adverse to you.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

Non-U.S. holders. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the coupons is unclear. To the extent that we have withholding responsibility in respect of the securities, we would expect generally to treat the coupons as subject to U.S. withholding tax. Moreover, you should expect that, if the applicable withholding agent determines that withholding tax should apply, it will be at a rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate). In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding under an applicable treaty, you may need to comply with certification requirements to establish that you are not a U.S. person and are eligible for such an exemption or reduction under an applicable tax treaty. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the coupons.

As discussed under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Dividend Equivalents under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to non-U.S. holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. The Treasury regulations, as modified by an IRS notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta” of one. Based on certain determinations made by us, our counsel is of the opinion that Section 871(m) should not apply to the securities with regard to non-U.S. holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.

We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
