Hypothetical Payout Profile (maturity payment amount)*

*If the ending value is less than the threshold value, you will receive on the stated maturity date per security a number of shares of the Underlying Stock equal to the share delivery amount. Fractional shares will be paid in cash. For purposes of the above profile, the value of the shares received is calculated based on the ending value. The actual value of any shares received on the stated maturity date will depend on the closing value of the Underlying Stock on the stated maturity date, which may be less than the ending value.

If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending value is less than the threshold value, you will receive at maturity a number of shares of the Underlying Stock that will likely be worth less than the face amount of your securities and could be worth nothing. The actual value of the shares you receive at maturity will depend on the closing value of the Underlying Stock on the stated maturity date, which may be lower than the ending value.

Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of the coupon payments. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Stock, but you will have downside exposure to the Underlying Stock if the ending value is less than the threshold value.

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 expected to be between $921.00 and $971.00 per security and will be less than the original offering price of the securities. We describe the determination of the initial estimated value in more detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
