On each contingent coupon payment date, you will receive a contingent coupon payment at a per annum rate equal to the contingent coupon rate if, and only if, the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to the coupon threshold price. Each contingent coupon payment, if any, will be calculated per security as follows: ($1,000 × contingent coupon rate) / 12. Any contingent coupon payment will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. In addition, if the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on one or more calculation days is less than the coupon threshold price and, on a subsequent calculation day, the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on that subsequent calculation day is greater than or equal to the coupon threshold price, the securities will pay the contingent coupon payment due for that subsequent calculation day plus all previously unpaid contingent coupon payments (without interest on amounts previously unpaid). |

Hypothetical Payout Profile
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending price is less than the downside threshold price, you will lose more than 35.00%, 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 the Underlying Stock, but you will have full downside exposure to the Underlying Stock if the ending price is less than the downside threshold price.
If the securities priced today, the estimated value of the securities would be between $933.01 (93.301%) and $963.01 (96.301%) per $1,000 face amount. See “The Bank’s Estimated Value of the Securities” in the preliminary pricing supplement.
