STRUCTURED INVESTMENTS

Opportunities in U.S. Equities

The amount that you will be paid on your securities is based on the performance of the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. The securities may be automatically called on any call observation date.

Your securities will be automatically called if the closing price of the underlying stock on any call observation date is greater than or equal to the initial share price, which will be the lowest closing price of the underlying stock during the initial observation period, resulting in a payment on the applicable call payment date equal to (i) the principal amount of your securities plus (ii) such principal amount times the call premium amount applicable to such call observation date. No payments will be made after the call payment date.

At maturity, if not previously called, you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the notes. You will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stock.

The securities are for investors who are willing to risk losing all or a significant portion of the principal amount of their securities if the securities remain outstanding to maturity in exchange for the use of an initial observation period in determining the initial share value and the potential to earn a return of between at least 20.00% and at least 100.00%, depending on if and when their securities are automatically called.
