| The Toronto-Dominion Bank Senior Debt Securities, Series H Equity Linked Securities
| Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of Broadcom Inc., the Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation due December 15, 2028

■ Linked to the lowest performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of Broadcom Inc., the Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation (each referred to as an “Underlying Stock”) ■ Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at stated maturity and are subject to potential automatic call prior to stated maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon payment, whether the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity and, if they are not automatically called, whether you receive the face amount of your securities at stated maturity will depend, in each case, on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Underlying Stock on any calculation day is the Underlying Stock that has the lowest stock closing price on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting price ■ Contingent Coupon. The securities will pay a contingent coupon payment on a monthly basis until the earlier of stated maturity or automatic call if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the calculation day for that month is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on one or more calculation days is less than its coupon threshold price and, on a subsequent calculation day, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on that subsequent calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price, the securities will pay the contingent coupon payment due for that subsequent calculation day plus all previously unpaid contingent coupon payments (without interest on amounts previously unpaid). If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related monthly contingent coupon payment date. In addition, if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price and the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each subsequent calculation day up to and including the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive the unpaid contingent coupon payments in respect of those calculation days. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock is less than its coupon threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of the securities. The coupon threshold price for each Underlying Stock is equal to 50% of its starting price. The contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be at least 15.50% per annum ■ Automatic Call. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on any of the monthly calculation days from March 2026 to November 2028, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting price, the securities will be automatically called for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments ■ Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the face amount at stated maturity if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its downside threshold price. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, you will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities. The downside threshold price for each Underlying Stock is equal to 50% of its starting price ■ If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Underlying Stock from its starting price if its stock closing price on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, but you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock and will not receive any dividends on any Underlying Stock ■ Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of a better performing Underlying Stock. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Underlying Stock performs poorly, even if another Underlying Stock performs favorably ■ All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”) ■ No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

The estimated value of the securities at the time the terms of your securities are set on the pricing date is expected to be between $890.00 and $925.00 per security, as discussed further under “Selected Risk Considerations— Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market” beginning on page P-12 and “Estimated Value of the Securities” herein. The estimated value is expected to be less than the original offering price of the securities.
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page P-10 herein and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement and on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus.
The securities are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Bank, and, accordingly, all payments are subject to credit risk. The securities are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation pursuant to the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the “CDIC Act”) or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Any contingent coupon payment will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. In addition, if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on one or more calculation days is less than its coupon threshold price and, on a subsequent calculation day, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on that subsequent calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price, the securities will pay the contingent coupon payment due for that subsequent calculation day plus all previously unpaid contingent coupon payments (without interest on amounts previously unpaid). If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on any calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. In addition, if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price and the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each subsequent calculation day up to and including the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive the unpaid contingent coupon payments in respect of those calculation days.

The securities will not be subject to automatic call until the third calculation day, which is approximately three months after the issue date. If the securities are automatically called, they will cease to be outstanding on the related call settlement date and you will have no further rights under the securities after such call settlement date. You will not receive any notice from us if the securities are automatically called.

| Calculation Agent: |  | The Bank
| U.S. Tax Treatment: |  | By purchasing the securities, you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the securities, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Underlying Stocks with associated contingent coupon payments. If the securities are so treated, any contingent coupon payment paid on the securities should be treated as ordinary income includable in income by you in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat the securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement. An investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders, and we will not attempt to ascertain the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the securities.
| Canadian Tax Treatment: |  | Please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences – Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”, which applies to the securities. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any withholding required by reason of the rules governing hybrid mismatch arrangements contained in section 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the prospectus).
| Agents: |  | TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The Agents may receive a commission of up to $23.25 (2.325%) per security and may use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the distribution of the securities, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession not in excess of $17.50 (1.75%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities may pay $0.75 (0.075%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA. In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we may pay a fee of up to $3.00 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers. We or one of our affiliates will also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection with the distribution of the securities. The price at which you purchase the securities includes costs that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to incur and profits that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the securities, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the securities. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your securities on the pricing date. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” in this pricing supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of Broadcom Inc., the Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation due December 15, 2028

Estimated Value of the Securities

The final terms for the securities will be determined on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, as indicated under “Terms of the Securities” herein, based on prevailing market conditions on the pricing date, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the securities are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing), and several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the securities and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities and the amounts that an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities pays to us in connection with hedging your securities as described further under “Terms of the Securities—Agents” herein and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the securities.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the securities. The estimated value range was determined by reference to our internal pricing models which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the securities and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the securities. For more information see the discussion under “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.”
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agents may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agents or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately three months after the issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement.

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

■ | seek an investment with contingent coupon payments at a rate of at least 15.50% per annum (to be determined on the pricing date) until the earlier of stated maturity or automatic call, if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the applicable calculation day is greater than or equal to 50% of its starting price;

■ | understand that if the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day has declined by more than 50% from its starting price, they will be fully exposed to the decline in the lowest performing Underlying Stock from its starting price and will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount at stated maturity;

■ | are willing to accept the risk that they may receive few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities;

■ | understand that the securities may be automatically called prior to stated maturity and that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately three months;

■ | understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day and that they will not benefit in any way from the performance of a better performing Underlying Stock;

■ | understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Underlying Stocks or linked to a basket composed of each Underlying Stock;

■ | understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlying Stock;

■ | are willing to forgo participation in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock and dividends on any Underlying Stock; and

■ | are willing to hold the securities until maturity.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

■ | seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;

■ | require full payment of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;

■ | seek a security with a fixed term;

■ | are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;

■ | are unwilling to accept the risk that the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day may decline by more than 50% from its starting price;

■ | seek certainty of current income over the term of the securities;

■ | seek exposure to the upside performance of any or each Underlying Stock;

■ | seek exposure to a basket composed of each Underlying Stock or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Underlying Stocks, rather than solely on the lowest performing Underlying Stock;

■ | are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Underlying Stocks;

■ | are unwilling to accept the credit risk of the Bank; or

■ | prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Underlying Stocks, please see the section titled “The Market Measures” below.

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of Broadcom Inc., the Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation due December 15, 2028

Determining Payment On A Contingent Coupon Payment Date and at Maturity

If the securities have not been previously automatically called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment (including any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments) or you will not receive a contingent coupon payment, depending on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the related calculation day.
Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Underlying Stock on any calculation day is the Underlying Stock with the lowest performance factor on that calculation day. The performance factor of an Underlying Stock on a calculation day is its stock closing price on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting price (i.e., its stock closing price on that calculation day divided by its starting price).
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment is paid on the applicable contingent coupon payment date based on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day, as follows:
If the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, then at maturity you will receive (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, if any) a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:
Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day. The lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is the Underlying Stock with the lowest performance factor on the final calculation day. The performance factor of an Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is its ending price as a percentage of its starting price (i.e., its ending price divided by its starting price).

Hypothetical Payout Profile

The following profile illustrates the potential maturity payment amount on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, if any) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day from its starting price to its ending price, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date. As this profile illustrates, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to stated maturity. The performance of a better performing Underlying Stock is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Selected Risk Considerations

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt 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 the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.
Risks Relating To The Securities Generally
If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called Prior To Stated Maturity, You May Lose Some Or All Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Stated Maturity.
We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities at stated maturity. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive a maturity payment amount that will be equal to or less than the face amount, depending on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
If the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, the maturity payment amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the decline in the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock from its starting price (expressed as a percentage of its starting price). The downside threshold price for each Underlying Stock is 50% of its starting price. For example, if the securities are not automatically called and the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day has declined by 50.1% from its starting price to its ending price, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside protection feature and you will lose 50.1% of the face amount. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day declines significantly and you may lose some, and possibly all, of the face amount at stated maturity, even if the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock is greater than or equal to its starting price or its downside threshold price at certain times during the term of the securities.
Even if the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than its downside threshold price, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face amount, and your yield on the securities, taking into account any contingent coupon payments you may have received during the term of the securities, may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of the Bank or another issuer with a similar credit rating.
The Securities Do Not Provide For Fixed Payments Of Interest And You May Receive No Coupon Payments On One Or More Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, Or Even Throughout The Entire Term Of The Securities.
On each contingent coupon payment date you will receive a contingent coupon payment if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price. The coupon threshold price for each Underlying Stock is 50% of its starting price. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on any calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. You will receive a previously unpaid contingent coupon payment on a subsequent contingent coupon payment date if and only if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price. However, if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price and the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each subsequent calculation day up to and including the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive the unpaid contingent coupon payments in respect of those calculation days. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock is less than its coupon threshold price on each calculation day over the term of the securities, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the entire term of the securities.
The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Underlying Stock And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Underlying Stock Performs Poorly, Even If Another Underlying Stock Performs Favorably.
You are subject to the full risks of each Underlying Stock. If any Underlying Stock performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if another Underlying Stock performs favorably. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks, where the better performance of an Underlying Stock could offset the poor performance of another. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day. As a result, the securities are riskier than an alternative investment linked to only one of the Underlying Stocks or linked to a basket composed of each Underlying Stock. You should not invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlying Stock.
Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Underlying Stock That Is The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On Each Calculation Day, And You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of A Better Performing Underlying Stock.
Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day. Although it is necessary for each Underlying Stock to close above its respective coupon threshold price on the relevant calculation day in order for you to receive a contingent coupon payment and above its respective downside threshold price on the final calculation day for you to receive the face amount of your securities at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of a better performing Underlying Stock. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks, since in such case the performance of the better performing Underlying Stock(s) would be blended with the performance of the lowest performing Underlying Stock, resulting in a better return than the return of the lowest performing Underlying Stock alone.

You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Underlying Stocks.
It is preferable from your perspective for the Underlying Stocks to be correlated with each other so that their prices will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Underlying Stocks will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Underlying Stocks, the more likely it is that any one of the Underlying Stocks will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Underlying Stocks to perform poorly; the performance of a better performing Underlying Stock is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Underlying Stocks will be over the term of the securities. To the extent the Underlying Stocks operate in different industries or sectors of the market, such industries and sectors may not perform similarly over the term of the securities.
You May Be Fully Exposed To The Decline In The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On The Final Calculation Day From Its Starting Price, But Will Not Participate In Any Positive Performance Of Any Underlying Stock.
Even though you will be fully exposed to a decline in the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day if its ending price is below its downside threshold price, you will not participate in any increase in the price of any Underlying Stock over the term of the securities. Your maximum possible return on the securities will be limited to the sum of the contingent coupon payments you receive, if any. Consequently, your return on the securities may be significantly less than the return you could achieve on an alternative investment that provides for participation in an increase in the price of any or each Underlying Stock.
Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Associated With Greater Risk.
The securities offer contingent coupon payments at a higher rate, if paid, than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential contingent coupon payments are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that you may not receive a contingent coupon payment on one or more, or any, contingent coupon payment dates and the risk that you may lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. The volatility of the Underlying Stocks and the correlation among the Underlying Stocks are important factors affecting this risk. Volatility is a measurement of the size and frequency of daily fluctuations in the price of an Underlying Stock, typically observed over a specified period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. Correlation is a measurement of the extent to which the prices of the Underlying Stocks tend to fluctuate at the same time, in the same direction and in similar magnitudes. Greater expected volatility of the Underlying Stocks or lower expected correlation among the Underlying Stocks as of the pricing date may result in a higher contingent coupon rate, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the pricing date that the stock closing price of at least one Underlying Stock will be less than its coupon threshold price on one or more calculation days, such that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities, and that the stock closing price of at least one Underlying Stock will be less than its downside threshold price on the final calculation day such that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. In general, the higher the contingent coupon rate is relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities and that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity.
You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.
If your securities are automatically called, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately three months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.
Each Calculation Day (Including The Final Calculation Day) And The Related Call Settlement Date (Including The Stated Maturity Date) Is Subject To Market Disruption Events And Postponements.
Each calculation day (including the final calculation day), and therefore the potential call settlement date and/or contingent coupon payment date (including the maturity date), is subject to postponement in the case of a market disruption event or a non-trading day as described herein and in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating To An Investment In the Bank’s Debt Securities, Including The Securities
Investors Are Subject To The Bank’s Credit Risk, And The Bank’s Credit Ratings And Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of The Securities.
Although the return on the securities will be based on the performance of the lowest performing Underlying Stock, the payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The securities are the Bank’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities on each contingent coupon payment date, as well as the call settlement date or stated maturity date and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and to changes in the market’s view of the Bank’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in the Bank’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking the Bank’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If the Bank becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Expected To Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to be less than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the securities at any time.
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 on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on the pricing date, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of the securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
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 Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities And May Be Less Than The Estimated Value Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of the securities is not a prediction of the prices at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the secondary market at any time, if any, may be based on pricing models that differ from our pricing models and will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be less than the original offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price At Which We May Initially Buy The Securities In The Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative Of Future Prices Of Your Securities.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if the Agents make a market in the securities, which they are not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the pricing date of the securities, as discussed further under “Estimated Value of the Securities”. The price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.
The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the securities will likely be less than the original offering price. The original offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the underwriting discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction. In addition, because an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities is to conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that affiliate may profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation that the dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the dealer to sell the securities to you in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the securities.

There May Not Be An Active Trading Market For The Securities — Sales In The Secondary Market May Result In Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. The Agents and their respective affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, they are not required to do so. The Agents and their respective affiliates may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the securities develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your securities in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your securities before the stated maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the principal amount irrespective of the price of the Underlying Stocks, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If The Price Of Any Underlying Stocks Change, The Market Value Of Your Securities May Not Change In The Same Manner.
Your securities may trade quite differently from the performance of any of the Underlying Stocks. Changes in the price of any Underlying Stocks generally or the lowest performing Underlying Stock specifically may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your securities. Even if the price of each Underlying Stock increases above its starting price during the term of the securities, the market value of your securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
Risks Relating To The Underlying Stocks
Any Payments On The Securities And Whether The Securities Are Automatically Called Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Underlying Stocks And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

| • | Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Underlying Stocks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any of the Underlying Stocks. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the Underlying Stocks for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on any Underlying Stock. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the Underlying Stocks would have.

| • | Historical Prices Of The Underlying Stocks Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Underlying Stocks During The Term Of The Securities.

| • | The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than An Original Underlying Stock Issuer.

| • | We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Cannot Control Actions By An Underlying Stock Issuer.

| • | We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.

| • | You Have Limited Anti-Dilution Protection.

Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest

| • | Trading And Business Activities By The Bank Or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of, And Any Amount Payable On, The Securities.

| • | There Are Potential Conflicts Of Interest Between You And The Calculation Agent.

Risks Relating To Canadian And U.S. Federal Income Taxation
The Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.
Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. You should read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement. You should consult your tax advisors as to the tax consequences of your investment in the securities.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences — Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” and the further discussion above under “Terms of the Securities”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the securities in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and receiving the payments that might be due under the securities.

Hypothetical Returns

If the securities are automatically called:
If the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the face amount of your securities plus a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments on the call settlement date. In the event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and any contingent coupon payment(s) received on the call settlement date.
If the securities are not automatically called:
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical performance factors of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, if any). The performance factor of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is its ending price expressed as a percentage of its starting price (i.e., its ending price divided by its starting price).

Hypothetical performance factor of lowest performing Underlying Stock on final calculation day | Hypothetical maturity payment amount per security
175.00% | $1,000.00
160.00% | $1,000.00
150.00% | $1,000.00
140.00% | $1,000.00
130.00% | $1,000.00
120.00% | $1,000.00
110.00% | $1,000.00
100.00% | $1,000.00
90.00% | $1,000.00
80.00% | $1,000.00
70.00% | $1,000.00
60.00% | $1,000.00
50.00% | $1,000.00
49.00% | $490.00
25.00% | $250.00
0.00% | $0.00

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.
The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the actual amount you will receive at stated maturity will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day. The performance of a better performing Underlying Stock is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Payments

Set forth below are examples that illustrate how to determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid (and whether any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments will be paid) and whether the securities will be automatically called, if applicable, on a contingent coupon payment date prior to the stated maturity date. The examples do not reflect any specific contingent coupon payment date. The following examples reflect a hypothetical contingent coupon rate of 15.50% per annum (the minimum contingent coupon rate specified herein) and assume the hypothetical starting price, coupon threshold price and stock closing prices for each Underlying Stock indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price or coupon threshold price. The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Underlying Stock has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting price for any Underlying Stock. The actual starting price and coupon threshold price for each Underlying Stock will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Underlying Stocks, see the historical information provided herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1. The stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #1 is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price and less than its starting price. As a result, investors receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

|  | The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. | The common stock of Broadcom Inc. | The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. | The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation
| Hypothetical starting price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00
| Hypothetical stock closing price on hypothetical calculation day #1: | $90.00 | $95.00 | $50.00 | $85.00
| Hypothetical coupon threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Performance factor (stock closing price on calculation day #1 divided by starting price): | 90.00% | 95.00% | 50.00% | 85.00%

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #1.
In this example, the Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #1.
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.
Since the hypothetical stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #1 is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price, but less than its starting price, you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not be automatically called. The contingent coupon payment would be equal to $12.92 per security, determined as follows: (i) $1,000 multiplied by 15.50% per annum divided by (ii) 12, rounded to the nearest cent.
Example 2. The stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #2 is less than its coupon threshold price. As a result, investors do not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

|  | The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. | The common stock of Broadcom Inc. | The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. | The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation
| Hypothetical starting price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00
| Hypothetical stock closing price on hypothetical calculation day #2: | $45.00 | $125.00 | $105.00 | $90.00
| Hypothetical coupon threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Performance factor (stock closing price on calculation day #2 divided by starting price): | 45.00% | 125.00% | 105.00% | 90.00%

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #2.
In this example, the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #2.
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.
Since the hypothetical stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #2 is less than its coupon threshold price, you would not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

In addition, the securities would not be automatically called, even though the stock closing price of a better performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day#2 is greater than or equal to its starting price. As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon payment and whether the securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day. The performance of a better performing Underlying Stock is not relevant to your return on the securities.
Example 3. The stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #3 is greater than or equal to its starting price. As a result, the securities are automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment and the previously unpaid contingent coupon payment.

|  | The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. | The common stock of Broadcom Inc. | The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. | The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation
| Hypothetical starting price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00
| Hypothetical stock closing price on hypothetical calculation day #3: | $115.00 | $105.00 | $130.00 | $120.00
| Hypothetical coupon threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Performance factor (stock closing price on calculation day #3 divided by starting price): | 115.00% | 105.00% | 130.00% | 120.00%

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #3.
In this example, the common stock of Broadcom Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #3.
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.
Since the hypothetical stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on hypothetical calculation day #3 is greater than or equal to its starting price, the securities would be automatically called and you would receive the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment and the previously unpaid contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date, which is also referred to as the call settlement date. Because no contingent coupon payment was received in connection with hypothetical calculation day #2, investors in the securities would also receive the previously unpaid contingent coupon payment on the call settlement date, for a total of $1,025.84 per security.
You will not receive any further payments after the call settlement date.

Hypothetical Payment at Stated Maturity

Set forth below are examples of calculations of the maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity, assuming that the securities have not been automatically called prior to stated maturity and assuming the hypothetical starting price, coupon threshold price, downside threshold price and ending prices for each Underlying Stock indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price, coupon threshold price or downside threshold price. The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Underlying Stock has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting price for any Underlying Stock. The actual starting price, coupon threshold price and downside threshold price for each Underlying Stock will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Underlying Stocks, see the historical information provided herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1. The ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its starting price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payment(s):

|  | The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. | The common stock of Broadcom Inc. | The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. | The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation
| Hypothetical starting price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00
| Hypothetical ending price: | $145.00 | $135.00 | $130.00 | $125.00
| Hypothetical coupon threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Hypothetical downside threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Performance factor (ending price divided by starting price): | 145.00% | 135.00% | 130.00% | 125.00%

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its hypothetical downside threshold price, the maturity payment amount would equal the face amount. Although the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is significantly greater than its hypothetical starting price in this scenario, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face amount.
In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. In addition, because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price, you would receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payment(s).
Example 2. The ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its starting price but greater than or equal to its downside threshold price and its coupon threshold price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payment(s):

|  | The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. | The common stock of Broadcom Inc. | The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. | The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation
| Hypothetical starting price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00
| Hypothetical ending price: | $50.00 | $115.00 | $105.00 | $110.00
| Hypothetical coupon threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Hypothetical downside threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Performance factor (ending price divided by starting price): | 50.00% | 115.00% | 105.00% | 110.00%

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of Broadcom Inc., the Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation due December 15, 2028

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price, but not by more than 50%, you would receive the face amount of your securities at maturity.
In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. In addition, because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price, you would receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payment(s).
Example 3. The ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price and its coupon threshold price, the maturity payment amount is less than the face amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment or any previously unpaid contingent coupon payment(s):

|  | The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. | The common stock of Broadcom Inc. | The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. | The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation
| Hypothetical starting price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00
| Hypothetical ending price: | $120.00 | $45.00 | $90.00 | $140.00
| Hypothetical coupon threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Hypothetical downside threshold price: | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 | $50.00
| Performance factor (ending price divided by starting price): | 120.00% | 45.00% | 90.00% | 140.00%

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of Broadcom Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price by more than 50%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to $450.00 per security, calculated as follows:
= $1,000 × performance factor of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day
= $1,000 × 45.00%
= $450.00
In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $450.00 per security. Because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you would not receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date or any previously unpaid contingent coupon payment(s).
These examples illustrate that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock, but will be fully exposed to a decrease in the lowest performing Underlying Stock if the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, even if the ending price of another Underlying Stock has appreciated or has not declined below its downside threshold price.
To the extent that the starting price, coupon threshold price, downside threshold price and ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock differ from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be different.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

You should carefully review the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.
Due to the absence of statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, the Bank and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Underlying Stocks with associated contingent coupon payments. You further agree to include any associated contingent coupon payment that is paid by the Bank (including on the stated maturity date or call settlement date) in your income as ordinary income in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the securities are so treated, upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your securities, you generally should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such taxable disposition (adjusted for amounts or proceeds attributable to any accrued and unpaid contingent coupon payments, which would be treated as ordinary income) and your tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your securities prior to a contingent coupon payment date, but that could be attributed to an expected contingent coupon payment, could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this risk.
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat your securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – Alternative Treatments” in the product supplement.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”, such as the securities, and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.
An investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders because such an investment may result in significant adverse tax consequences. In particular, persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the securities may withhold on any contingent coupon payment paid to you, generally at a rate of 30%, and to the extent that we have (or an affiliate of ours has) withholding responsibility in respect of the securities, we intend to so withhold. This discussion does not otherwise address the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the securities.
