The actual Call Premium and Payment per Security upon an automatic call that is applicable to each Call
Date will be determined on the Pricing Date and will be within the range specified in the foregoing table. The last Call Date is the Final Calculation Day, and payment upon an automatic call on the Final Calculation Day, if applicable, will be made
on the Maturity Date.
How the Redemption Amount at Maturity is Calculated
If the Fund Closing Price of the Reference Asset is less than the Starting Price on each of the three Call
Dates, the Securities will not be automatically called, and on the Maturity Date you will receive a Redemption Amount at Maturity per Security determined as follows:
●
|
If the Ending Price is less than the Starting Price and greater than or equal to the Threshold Price, the Redemption Amount at Maturity will equal:
$1,000; or
|
●
|
If the Ending Price is less than the Threshold Price, the Redemption Amount at Maturity will be equal:
|
Principal Amount + [Principal Amount x (Percentage Change + Threshold Percentage)]
In this case, you will receive less than the Principal Amount and will have 1-to-1 downside exposure
to the decrease in the price of the Reference Asset in excess of 10%.
Any positive return on the Securities will be limited to the applicable Call Premium, even if the Fund
Closing Price of the Reference Asset significantly exceeds the Starting Price on the applicable Call Date. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Reference Asset beyond the applicable Call Premium. If the Securities are not
automatically called on any Call Date and the Ending Price is less than the Threshold Price, you will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the Principal Amount of your Securities at maturity.

Selected Risk Considerations
The risks set forth below are discussed in detail in “Additional Risks” in the pricing supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the
Notes” in the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus supplement and prospectus. Please review those risk disclosures carefully.
●
|
The Inclusion of Dealer Spread and Projected Profit from Hedging in the Original Offering Price is Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary
Market Prices.
|
●
|
Risk of Loss at Maturity: Any payment on the Securities at maturity depends on the Percentage Change of the Reference Asset. If the
Securities are not automatically called, the Bank will only repay you the full Principal Amount of your Securities if the Percentage Change does not reflect a decrease in the Reference Asset of more than 10.00%. If the Percentage Change
is negative by more than 10.00%, meaning the percentage decline from the Starting Price to the Ending Price is greater than the 10.00% Threshold Percentage, you will lose a significant portion of your initial investment in an amount
equal to the Percentage Change in excess of the Threshold Percentage. Accordingly, if the Securities are not automatically called, you may lose up to 90% of your investment in the Securities if the percentage decline from the Starting
Price to the Ending Price is greater than 10.00%.
