FT 622
10,000 Units (A Unit Investment Trust)
The attached final Prospectus for a prior Series of the Fund is hereby
used as a preliminary Prospectus for the above stated Series. The narrative
information and structure of the attached final Prospectus will be substantially
the same as that of the final Prospectus for this Series. Information with
respect to pricing, the number of Units, dates and summary information regarding
the characteristics of securities to be deposited in this Series is not now
available and will be different since each Series has a unique Portfolio.
Accordingly the information contained herein with regard to the previous Series
should be considered as being included for informational purposes only. Ratings
of the securities in this Series are expected to be comparable to those of the
securities deposited in the previous Series.
A registration statement relating to the units of this Series will be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become
effective. Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment.
Such Units may not be sold nor may offer to buy be accepted prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This Prospectus shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of the Units in any state in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such state. (Incorporated herein by reference is the
final prospectus for FT 511 (Registration No. 333-55514) as filed on March 30,
2001, which shall be used as preliminary prospectus for the current series of
the Fund.)
MEMORANDUM
Re: FT 622

securities comprising the Fund, the evaluation, record and distribution dates
and other changes pertaining specifically to the new series, such as size and
number of Units in the Fund and the statement of condition of the new Fund, will
be filed by amendment.
