DETERMINING PAYMENT AT MATURITY
You will lose 1% of the principal amount for each 1% decline in the level of the Lesser Performing Reference Asset beyond its Buffer Level. The Payment at Maturity per $1,000 in principal amount
of the notes will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Percentage Change of the Lesser Performing Reference Asset + Buffer Percentage)]
In this case, you may lose some or a significant portion of the principal amount at maturity.
