| General |
| The securities are designed for investors who seek a return at maturity of at least 260.00% (to be determined on the Trade Date) of any increase in the level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the “Underlying”), up to the Maximum Return of at least 65.00% (to be determined on the Trade Date). If the Final Level is less than the Initial Level but greater than or equal to the Trigger Level (equal to 75.00% of the Initial Level), investors will receive a cash payment at maturity equal to the Face Amount per $1,000 Face Amount of securities.

The securities do not pay any coupons or dividends and investors should be willing to lose a significant portion or all of their investment if the Final Level is less than the Trigger Level. Any payment on the securities is subject to the credit of the Issuer. |
