&nbsp;&nbsp;***About Your Securities***<br>

The amount that you will be paid on your securities on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the common stock of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated as measured from the pricing date to and including the valuation date.

If the final share price is *greater than* or *equal to* the initial share price, the return on your securities will be positive and equal to the upside payment.

If the final share price is less than the initial share price but *greater than* or *equal to* the downside threshold price, you will receive the principal amount of your securities. **However, if the final share price is less than the downside threshold price, you may lose your entire investment in the notes.** 

The securities are for investors who seek the potential to earn a fixed return of at least 50.10% if the underlying stock appreciates or does not depreciate from the initial share price to the final share price, are willing to forgo interest payments and are willing to risk losing their entire investment if the final share price is less than the downside threshold price.
