Hypothetical Payout Profile***

*** assumes a contingent fixed return equal to the lowest possible contingent fixed return that may be determined on the pricing date.

Any positive return on the securities at maturity will be limited to the contingent fixed return, even if the ending value of the Underlier significantly exceeds the starting value; you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlier

If the ending value is less than the threshold value, you will be exposed on a leveraged on a leveraged basis in the value of the Underlier in excess of the buffer amount and will lose some, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at maturity.

On the date of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the estimated initial value of the securities is $960.00 per security. The estimated initial value of the securities at pricing may differ from this value but will not be less than $910.00 per security. However, as discussed in more detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the actual value of the securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
