| Stated Maturity Date: | June 29, 2029 |
| Face Amount: | $1,000 per security |
| Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory Feature): | 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 the closing value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold value. In addition, if the closing value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on one or more calculation days is less than its coupon threshold value and, on a subsequent calculation day, the closing value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on that subsequent calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold value, 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). Each “contingent coupon payment,” if any, will be calculated per security as follows: ($1,000 × contingent coupon rate)/4. |

| Contingent Coupon Rate: | At least 14.25% per annum, to be determined on the pricing date |
| Automatic Call: | If the closing value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on any of the quarterly calculation days scheduled to occur from December 2026 to March 2029, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting value, the securities will be automatically called, and on the related call settlement date you will be entitled to receive a cash payment per security in U.S. dollars equal to the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments. |
| Calculation Days: | Quarterly, on the 26th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing September 2026 and ending June 2029, provided that the June 2029 calculation day will be the final calculation day |
| Call Settlement Date: | The contingent coupon payment date immediately following the applicable calculation day |
| Maturity Payment Amount, if the Securities Are Not Automatically Called (per Security): |
· if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its downside threshold value: $1,000; or · if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold value: $1,000 × performance factor of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day |
| Lowest Performing Underlying Stock: | For any calculation day, the Underlying Stock with the lowest performance factor on that calculation day |
| Performance Factor: | With respect to an Underlying Stock on any calculation day, its closing value on that calculation day divided by its starting value (expressed as a percentage) |
| Starting Value: | For each Underlying Stock, its closing value on the strike date. The starting value of each Underlying Stock is not the closing value of that Underlying Stock on the pricing date. |
Summary of Terms (continued)
| Ending Value: | For each Underlying Stock, its closing value on the final calculation day |
| Coupon Threshold Value: | For each Underlying Stock, 55% of its starting value |
| Downside Threshold Value: | For each Underlying Stock, 50% of its starting value |

Hypothetical Payout Profile (maturity payment amount)
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending value of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold value, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the value of that Underlying Stock from its starting value, and you will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at 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 any Underlying Stock, but you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day if its ending value is less than its downside threshold value.
The initial estimated value of the securities determined by us as of the pricing date, which we refer to as the initial estimated value, is expected to be between $880.00 and $930.00 per security and will be less than the original offering price of the securities. We describe the determination of the initial estimated value in more detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
