Hypothetical Payout Profile

If the securities are not automatically called:

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual amount you receive upon an automatic call or at maturity and the resulting pre-tax rate of return will depend on (i) whether the securities are automatically called; (ii) if the securities are automatically called, the actual Call Premium and the actual Call Observation Date on which the securities are called; and (iii) if the securities are not automatically called, the actual Ending Level.

Call Observation Dates and Call Premiums

The Call Premium applicable to each Call Observation Date will be a percentage of the principal amount that increases for each Call Observation Date based on a simple (non-compounding) return of approximately 6.00% to approximately 7.00% per annum (to be determined on the Pricing Date). The actual Call Premium and payment per security upon an automatic call that is applicable to each Call Observation Date will be determined on the Pricing Date and will be within the range specified in the table below. The last Call Observation Date is the Final Valuation Date, and payment upon an automatic call on the Final Valuation Date, if applicable, will be made on the Stated Maturity Date.

Any positive return on the securities will be limited to the applicable Call Premium, even if the Closing Level of the Index significantly exceeds the Starting Level on the applicable Call Observation Date. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Index beyond the applicable Call Premium.

How the Payment at Maturity Is Calculated

If the Closing Level of the Index is less than the Starting Level on each of the Call Observation Dates, the securities will not be automatically called, and on the Stated Maturity Date, you will receive a payment at maturity per security determined as follows:

Any positive return on the securities will be limited to the applicable Call Premium, even if the Closing Level of the Index significantly exceeds the Starting Level on the applicable Call Observation Date. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Index beyond the applicable Call Premium. If the securities are not automatically called prior to the Final Valuation Date and the Ending Level is less than the Threshold Level, you will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the principal amount of your securities at maturity.
