PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated December 15, 2014)

T he Cha rle s Sc hw a b Corpora t ion
600,000 Depositary Shares, Each Representing a 1/100th
Interest in a Share of 4.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate
Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E


We are offering 600,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of 4.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-
Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, $0.01 par value, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary
share) (the "Series E Preferred Stock"). The depositary shares are represented by depositary receipts. As a holder of depositary shares, you will be entitled
to all proportional rights and preferences of the Series E Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). You must exercise
such rights through the depositary.
We will pay dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board
of directors. Dividends will accrue on a non-cumulative basis and be payable from the date of initial issuance to, but excluding, March 1, 2022 at a rate
of 4.625% per annum, payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2017 and ending on March 1,
2022. Dividends will accrue on a non-cumulative basis and be payable from and including, March 1, 2022 at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR
plus a spread of 3.315% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1,
2022.
Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors does
not declare a dividend on the Series E Preferred Stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend
period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment date, or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period to
the holder of Series E Preferred Stock, including the depositary, and no related distribution will be made on the depositary shares, whether or not our board
of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors declares a dividend on the Series E Preferred Stock for any future dividend period.
We may redeem the Series E Preferred Stock at our option:

· in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after March 1, 2022 at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share

(equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends; or

· in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a regulatory capital treatment event (as defined herein), at a redemption price equal to

$100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared
dividends.
The Series E Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth under "Description of Series E Preferred Stock--Voting Rights" on page
S-24.
The depositary shares will not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality. The
depositary shares will not be savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of any bank.
The depositary shares are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the depositary shares on
