Documentation

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in Summary Risk Factors on page PS-7 of the Final Pricing Supplement, and Risk Factors beginning on page PS-11 of the Final Pricing Supplement, page S-4 of the prospectus supplement, and page 8 of the prospectus, as the SRNs involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities.
