Hypothetical Payment at Maturity |
If the notes are not redeemed, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver for each $1,000 face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date will depend on the performance of the lesser performing underlier on the determination date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that the notes have not been redeemed and does not include the final coupon, if any. If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not be paid a final coupon at maturity. |
The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels of the lesser performing underlier and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level of the lesser performing underlier. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier, and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier and the assumptions noted above. |

As shown in the table above, if the notes have not been redeemed: |
•If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier were determined to be 15.000% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 15.000% of the face amount of your notes. |
○As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 85.000% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). |
•If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier were determined to be 200.000% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be limited to 100.000% of each $1,000 face amount of your notes. |
○As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier over its initial underlier level. |

Historical Closing Levels of the Underliers |
The closing levels of the underliers have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. |
Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the levels of each underlier between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes. You should not take the historical levels of an underlier as an indication of the future performance of that underlier. |
The graphs below show the daily historical closing levels of each underlier from January 4, 2021 through July 6, 2026. We obtained the closing levels in the graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification. |
