date”)

N/A

June 18, 2025 (the “maturity

date”)

 

* Each valuation date is subject to postponement if such date is not a scheduled trading day or certain market disruption events occur, as described in the accompanying product supplement. Each potential redemption date is subject to postponement on the same basis as a valuation date.

** If the valuation date immediately preceding any contingent coupon payment date (other than the final valuation date) is postponed, that contingent coupon payment date will also be postponed so that it falls on the third business day after such valuation date, as postponed.

Maturity date: Unless earlier automatically redeemed, June 18, 2025
Contingent coupon: On each monthly contingent coupon payment date, unless previously automatically redeemed, the securities will pay a contingent coupon equal to 1.25% of the stated principal amount of the securities (15.00% per annum, or 7.50% for the term of the securities) if and only if the closing price of the worst performing underlying shares on the related valuation date is greater than or equal to its downside threshold price.  If the closing price of the worst performing underlying shares on any monthly valuation date is less than its downside threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date.
Initial share price: For each of the underlying shares, its closing price on the pricing date
Final share price: For each of the underlying shares, its closing price on the final valuation date
Downside threshold price: For each of the underlying shares, 70.50% of its initial share price
CUSIP/ISIN: 17333A4F3 / US17333A4F30

 

Payment at maturity1:

If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount security you hold at maturity, you will receive cash in an amount determined as follows:

·    If the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares on the final valuation date is greater than or equal to its downside threshold price: $1,000 + the contingent coupon payment due at maturity

·    If the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares on the final valuation date is less than its downside threshold price: $1,000 + ($1,000 × the share return of the worst performing underlying shares on the final valuation date)

If the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares on the final valuation date is less than its downside threshold price, you will receive less, and possibly significantly less, than 70.50% of the stated principal amount of your securities at maturity, and you will not receive any contingent coupon payment at maturity.

Automatic early redemption: If, on any potential redemption date, the closing price of the worst performing underlying shares on that date is greater than or equal to its initial share price, each security you then hold will be automatically redeemed on the related contingent coupon payment date for an amount in cash equal to the early redemption payment.  If the securities are redeemed, no further payments will be made.
Early redemption payment: The stated principal amount of $1,000 per security plus the related contingent coupon payment
Share return: For each of the underlying shares on any valuation date or potential redemption date, (i) its closing price on that valuation date or potential redemption date minus its initial share price, divided by (ii) its initial share price
Worst performing underlying shares: For any valuation date or potential redemption date, the underlying shares with the lowest share return on that valuation date or potential redemption date

·You will not receive any contingent coupon payment for any month in which the closing price of the worst performing underlying shares on the related valuation date is less than its downside threshold price.
