The depositary shares are not deposits or other obligations of a bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

* A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

** The Book-Runners, Lead Managers and Co-Managers expect to deliver the Depositary Shares in book-entry form only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company against payment in New York, New York on or about the fifth business day following the date of this Term Sheet. Trades of securities in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, referred to as T+3, unless the parties to a trade agree otherwise. Accordingly, by virtue of the fact that the initial delivery of the Depositary Shares will not be made on a T+3 basis, investors who wish to trade the Depositary Shares before a final settlement will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
