In addition, if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on one or more calculation days is less than its threshold price and, on a subsequent calculation day, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on that subsequent calculation day is greater than or equal to its 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

(Maturity Payment Amount)<br>

![](image00001.jpg)

**If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will receive less, and possible 70% less, than the face amount of your securities on the maturity date.**

**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 downside exposure to the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day in excess of the buffer amount if the ending price of that Underlying Stock is less than the threshold price.**

We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $951.60, or within $30.00 of that estimate. See "Estimated Value of the Securities" in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for more information.

● **The Securities Do Not Provide For Fixed Payments Of Interest And You May Receive No Coupon Payments On One Or More Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, Or Even Throughout The Entire Term Of The Securities.**

● **The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Underlying Stock And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Underlying Stock Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Underlying Stocks Perform Favorably.**

● **Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Underlying Stock That Is The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On Each Calculation Day, And You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Underlying Stocks.**

● **You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Underlying Stocks.**

● **You May Be Fully Exposed To The Decline In The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On The Final Calculation Day From Its Starting Price, But Will Not Participate In Any Positive Performance Of Any Underlying Stock.**

● **Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Associated With Greater Risk.**

● **The Securities Are Subject To A Potential Automatic Call, Which Would Limit Your Ability To Receive Further Payment On The Securities.**

● **A Contingent Coupon Payment Date, A Call Settlement Date Or The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If A Calculation Day Is Postponed.**

● **The Tax Consequences Of An Investment In Your Securities Are Uncertain.**

● **The Securities Are Subject To Our Credit Risk.**

● **The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date, Based On Jefferies LLC Proprietary Pricing Models At That Time And Our Internal Funding Rate, Will Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.**

● **The Estimated Value Of The Securities Was Determined For Us By Our Subsidiary Using Proprietary Pricing Models.**

● **The Estimated Value Of The Securities Would Be Lower If It Were Calculated Based On Our Secondary Market Rate.**

● **The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which WFS, Jefferies LLC Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.**

● **The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.**

● **The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And The Issuer Does Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.**

● **Any Payments On The Securities And Whether The Securities Are Automatically Called Will Depend Upon The Performance Of Each Underlying Stock And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Risks Associated With The Underlying Stocks, As Discussed In The Accompanying Pricing Supplement and Product Supplement.**
