The following risk factors are discussed in greater detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement:

Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

▪The Securities Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor
▪The Call Premium You Will Receive on a Call Settlement Date (Including the Stated Maturity Date) If Your Securities Are Automatically Called and the Amount You Will Receive on the Stated Maturity Date If Your Securities Are Not Automatically Called is Not Linked to the Stock Closing Price of the Underlying Stocks at Any Time Other Than on the Applicable Call Date or the Final Calculation Day, as the Case May Be
▪You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Securities 
▪The Return on Your Securities May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock

▪A Higher Call Premium, a Lower Stock Closing Price at or Above Which the Securities Will Be Automatically Called and/or a Lower Threshold Price May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underlying Stocks, and Greater 

Expected Volatility Generally Indicates An Increased Risk of Declines in the Prices of the Underlying Stocks and, Potentially, a Significant Loss at Maturity

▪The Maturity Payment Amount Will Be Based Solely on the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock
▪Your Securities Are Subject to Automatic Redemption
▪Your Securities Do Not Bear Interest
▪The Market Value of Your Securities May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors
