Hypothetical Payout Profile (maturity payment amount)

If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending value of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold value, you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at stated maturity.

Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Index, but you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day if the ending value of that Index is less than the downside threshold value.

The issuer’s initial estimated value of the securities as of the pricing date is expected to be between $908.00 and $958.00 per $1,000 in principal amount, which is less than the public offering price. The final pricing supplement relating to the securities will set forth the issuer’s estimate of the initial value of the securities as of the pricing date. 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. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for further information.
