We are offering depositary shares, each
representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of our Fixed Rate Reset Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H, par value $1.00 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share
(equivalent to $25 per depositary share) (the Series H Preferred Stock). As a holder of depositary shares, you will be entitled to all proportional rights, preferences and other provisions of the Series H Preferred Stock (including those
related to dividends, voting, redemption, and liquidation). You must exercise such rights through the depositary.
We will pay
dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, to the extent that we have lawfully available funds to pay dividends. If declared, dividends
will accrue and be payable, quarterly in arrears, (i) from and including the date of original issuance to, but excluding December 15, 2027 (the First Reset Date) or the date of earlier redemption, at a rate
of % per annum, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2022, and (ii) from and including December 15, 2027,
during each reset period, at a rate per annum equal to the five-year treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date (as described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement) plus %,

of depositary shares are expected to receive a proportionate payment. If our board of directors or any duly authorized committee of the board has not declared a dividend on the Series H Preferred Stock before the dividend payment date for any
dividend period, such dividend shall not be cumulative and shall not be payable for such dividend period, and we will have no obligation to pay dividends for such dividend period, whether or not dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock are declared
for any future dividend period.
The Series H Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date. The Series H Preferred Stock may be
redeemed at our option, subject to prior Federal Reserve approval, in whole or in part, on December 15, 2027 or any dividend payment date thereafter, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share), plus
any declared and unpaid dividends, without regard to any undeclared dividends. The Series H Preferred Stock may be redeemed at our option, in whole, but not in part, at any time, within 90 days following the occurrence of a regulatory capital

will not have any voting rights, except as set forth under Description of Series H Preferred StockVoting Rights on page S-27. If we elect to redeem Series H Preferred Stock in part, the
depositary will redeem a proportionate amount of the depositary shares. Investors should not expect that we will redeem Series H Preferred Stock.
