Risk Factors
An investment in the securities involves significant risks. We urge
you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the securities. Some of the risks that
apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating
to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” sections in the accompanying pricing supplement and the prospectus supplement.
You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.
Risks Relating to the Securities Generally
| · | The
securities do not guarantee the return of any principal. |
| · | You
may not receive some or all of the contingent quarterly payments. |
| · | Your
potential return on the securities will be different depending on the sequence of closing prices on the determination dates. |
| · | You
will not participate in any appreciation in the value of any underlier. |
| · | You
are exposed to the market risk of each underlier, with respect to both the contingent quarterly payments, if any, and the payment at
maturity, if any. |
| · | Because
the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlier, you are exposed to greater risks of no contingent quarterly
payments and sustaining a significant loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one underlier. |
| · | The
securities are subject to early redemption risk. |
| · | Any
payment on the securities will be determined based on the closing prices of the underliers on the dates specified. |
| · | Contingent
repayment of principal applies only at maturity or upon any automatic early redemption. |
| · | The
securities are subject to volatility risk. |
| · | Investing
in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any or all underliers. |
| · | Significant
aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. |
Risks Relating to the Issuer
| · | Any
payments on the securities are subject to issuer credit risk. |
| · | You
may lose some or all of your investment if any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. |
Risks Relating to the Underliers
| · | The
issuers of the underliers are not affiliates of ours, are not involved with this offering in any way, and have no obligation to consider
your interests in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the securities. |
| · | The
price of each underlier can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to each underlier and its issuer. |
| · | Anti-dilution
protection is limited, and the calculation agent has discretion to make anti-dilution adjustments. |
| · | Reorganization
or other events could adversely affect the value of the securities or result in the securities being accelerated. |
| · | Governmental
legislative or regulatory actions, such as sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the securities. |
| · | We
may accelerate the securities if a change-in-law event occurs |
Risks Relating to Conflicts
of Interest
| · | We
may engage in business with or involving any issuer of any underlier without regard to your interests. |
| · | Hedging
and trading activity by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities. |
| · | We
and our affiliates, and any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, may engage in various activities or make determinations
that could materially affect your securities in various ways and create conflicts of interest. |
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Securities and the
Secondary Market
| · | The
securities will not be listed on any securities exchange, and secondary trading may be limited. |
| · | The
market price of the securities will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. |
| · | The
estimated value of your securities is expected to be lower than the initial issue price of your securities. |
| · | The
estimated value of your securities might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our debt securities trade
in the secondary market. |
| · | The
estimated value of the securities is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from
the pricing models of other financial institutions. |
| · | The
estimated value of your securities is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your securities in the secondary market, if
any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your securities and may be lower
than the estimated value of your securities. |
| · | The
temporary price at which we may initially buy the securities in the secondary market and the value we may initially use for customer
account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may not be indicative of future prices of your securities. |
