(1) The proceeds you might expect to receive if you were able to resell the Notes on the Issue Date are expected to be less than the issue price. This is because the issue price includes the selling agent’s commission set forth above and also reflects certain hedging costs associated with the Notes. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — The issue price of the notes has certain built-in costs, including the selling agent’s commission and our cost of hedging, both of which are expected to be reflected in secondary market prices” on page S-3 of the accompanying prospectus supplement. The issue price also does not include fees that you may be charged if you buy the Notes through your registered investment advisers for managed fee-based accounts.
(2) The Selling Agent may retain all or a portion of this commission or use all or a portion of this commission to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” starting on page S-29 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.
* This amended and restated preliminary pricing supplement amends, restates, and supersedes Preliminary Pricing Supplement No. 103 dated June 17, 2013. We refer to this amended and restated preliminary pricing supplement as the “pricing supplement.”
