Free Writing Prospectus Registration Statement Nos. 333-221595; 333-221595-01 Dated October 3, 2019 Filed pursuant to Rule 433 S T R U C T U R E D I N V E S T M E N T S Market-Linked Notes

 

Overview: Market-linked notes provide investors the repayment of principal at maturity, subject to the credit risk of the issuer (and the guarantor, if applicable), in addition to participation in appreciation of the underlier over the term of the notes. Market-linked notes may provide for leveraged upside exposure to the underlier, subject to a maximum payment at maturity. Market-linked notes may be appropriate for investors who are concerned about principal risk but seek a return based on the underlier and who are willing to forgo current income in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity plus the potential to receive a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the percentage increase in the value of the underlier. All payments are subject to the credit risk of the issuer (and the guarantor, if applicable). The estimated value of the notes will be set forth in the offering documents.

The example below is based on the hypothetical terms above in order to illustrate how a market-linked note might work. It does not reflect any actual terms or all of the terms that will be specified in the offering documents for an offering, and it does not cover all possible scenarios. See “Selected Risk Considerations” below. At maturity, investors will receive per market-linked note the stated principal amount per note plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, calculated as (i) the stated principal amount per note times (ii) the percentage increase in the value of the underlier times (iii) the participation rate, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. If the underlier has declined or has not appreciated at all, investors will receive the stated principal amount per note, without any positive return on their investment. Investing in market-linked notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlier. It is possible that an investment in the market-linked notes will underperform a direct investment in the underlier.

Selected Risk Considerations: The following is a non-exhaustive list of selected risk considerations for investors in market-linked notes. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section/s entitled “Risk Factors” in the offering documents for the offering. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors in connection with your investment in market-linked notes. Market-linked notes do not pay interest and may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity. The appreciation potential of the market-linked notes may be limited by the maximum payment at maturity. The issuer might not be the parent company of a group, but might instead be a subsidiary whose market-linked notes are guaranteed by its parent company, in which case you should understand the guarantee, the potential remedies available to you against the issuer and the guarantor and the potential claims (including their ranking) and recoveries available to you against the issuer and the guarantor in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. The market price of the market-linked notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Market-linked notes are subject to the credit risk of the issuer (and the guarantor, if applicable), and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the market-linked notes. The amount payable on the market-linked notes is not linked to the value of the underlier at any time other than the determination date(s). Investing in the market-linked notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlier. The rate the issuer is willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by the issuer’s (or the guarantor’s, if applicable) secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to it. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the market-linked notes in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the market-linked notes, cause the estimated value of the market-linked notes to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices. Adjustments to the underlier could adversely affect the value of the market-linked notes. The estimated value of the market-linked notes is determined by reference to pricing and valuation models of the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price. The market-linked notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The calculationagent, which may be an affiliate of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the market-linked notes. Hedging and trading activity by the issuer’s affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the market-linked notes.
