**If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending value is less than the downside threshold value, you will be exposed on a leveraged basis to the decline in the value of the Underlier in excess of the buffer amount and will lose some, 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 Underlier, but you will be exposed on a leveraged basis to any decline in the value of the Underlier in excess of the buffer amount.**

On the date of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the estimated initial value of the securities is $975.90 per security. The estimated initial value of the securities at pricing may differ from this value but will not be less than $925.00 per security. However, as discussed in more detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the actual value of the securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See "Estimated Value of the Securities" in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
