Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes with Memory Coupon Linked to the Common Stock of Palo Alto Networks, Inc. Due July 31, 2029

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

Contingent Coupons with Memory Feature — If the Notes have not been automatically called, investors will receive a Contingent Coupon on a quarterly Coupon Payment Date if the closing value of the Underlier is greater than or equal to the Coupon Threshold on the immediately preceding Coupon Observation Date. A Contingent Coupon that is not payable on a Coupon Payment Date may be paid later, but only if the closing value of the Underlier is greater than or equal to the Coupon Threshold on a later Coupon Observation Date. You may not receive any Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes.

Call Feature — If, on any quarterly Call Observation Date beginning approximately six months following the Trade Date, the closing value of the Underlier is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, the Notes will be automatically called for 100% of their principal amount plus the Contingent Coupon and any unpaid Contingent Coupons otherwise due. No further payments will be made on the Notes.

Contingent Return of Principal at Maturity — If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Underlier Value is greater than or equal to the Barrier Value, at maturity, investors will receive the principal amount of their Notes plus the Contingent Coupon and any unpaid Contingent Coupons otherwise due. If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Underlier Value is less than the Barrier Value, at maturity, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their Notes for each 1% that the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value.
