*Each valuation date is subject to postponement if such date is not a scheduled trading day or certain market disruption events occur with respect to any of the underlyings

** If the valuation date immediately preceding any potential redemption date is postponed, that potential redemption date will also be postponed so that it falls on the third business day after such valuation date, as postponed

Automatic early redemption: If, on any valuation date prior to the final valuation date, the closing value of the worst performing underlying is greater than or equal to its mandatory redemption threshold value, the securities will be automatically redeemed on the potential redemption date immediately following that valuation date for an amount in cash per security equal to $1,000 plus the premium applicable to that valuation date.  If the securities are automatically redeemed following any valuation date prior to the final valuation date, they will cease to be outstanding and you will not be entitled to receive the premium applicable to any later valuation date.
Underlying return: For each of the underlyings on any valuation date, (i) its closing value on such valuation date minus its initial underlying value, divided by (ii) its initial underlying value
Initial underlying value: For each underlying, its closing value on the pricing date
Final underlying value: For each underlying, its closing value on the final valuation date
Mandatory redemption threshold value: For each underlying, 90% of its initial underlying value

Worst performing underlying: On any valuation date, the underlying with the lowest underlying return on such valuation date
Payment at maturity1:

If the securities have not previously been redeemed, you will receive at maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount security you then hold, an amount in cash equal to:

·

If the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is greater than or equal to its initial underlying value: $1,000 + the premium applicable to the final valuation date

·

If the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its initial underlying value:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x the underlying return of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date)

If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its initial underlying value, your payment at maturity will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the $1,000 stated principal amount per security. You should not invest in the securities unless you are willing and able to bear the risk of losing a significant portion or all of your investment.
