Hypothetical Payout Profile*

 

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

If the ending value is less than the threshold value, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the value of the Underlying Stock from the starting value and will lose at least 25%, and may lose up to 100%, of the face amount of your securities at maturity. 

The issuer’s initial estimated value of the securities as of the pricing date is expected to be between $915.99 and $965.99 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.
