The notes will mature on the stated maturity date (expected to be March 30, 2028) unless they are automatically called on the call observation date (expected to be April 9, 2027). Your notes will be automatically called on the call observation date if the closing level of the S&P 500 Index on such date is greater than or equal to the initial index level (set on the trade date (expected to be March 27, 2026), resulting in a payment on the call payment date (expected to be April 14, 2027) for each $1,000 face amount of your notes equal to at least $1,104 (set on the trade date). If your notes are not automatically called, the amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the index as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date (expected to be March 27, 2028).

If the final index level declines by up to 15% from the initial index level, you will receive the face amount of your notes. If the final index level declines by more than 15% from the initial index level, the return on your notes will be negative and you will lose approximately 1.1765% of the face amount of your notes for every 1% that the final index level has declined below 85% of the initial index level.
