Historical Closing Levels of the Underliers |
The closing levels of the underliers have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. |
Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the levels of each underlier between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes. You should not take the historical levels of an underlier as an indication of the future performance of that underlier. |
The graphs below show the daily historical closing levels of each underlier from January 4, 2021 through March 23, 2026. We obtained the closing levels in the graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification. Although the official closing levels of the Russell 2000® Index are published to six decimal places by the underlier sponsor, Bloomberg Financial Services reports the levels of the Russell 2000® Index to fewer decimal places. |
