Your investment may result in a significant loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
■ |
Any positive investment return on the securities is limited. |
■ |
The securities do not bear interest. |
■ |
The securities are subject to potential early redemption, which would limit your ability to receive further payment on the securities. |
■ |
Your return on the securities may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. |
■ |
The early redemption payment or payment at maturity, as applicable, will not reflect changes in the price of the underlying stock other than on the related determination dates or the final determination date, as applicable. |
■ |
Any payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk and the credit risk of the Guarantor, and any actual or perceived changes in our or the Guarantor’s creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the securities. |

We are a finance subsidiary and, as such, have no independent assets, operations, or revenues. |
Valuation- and Market-related Risks

The price to public you pay for the securities will exceed their initial estimated value. |

The initial estimated value does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we, BAC, BofAS or any of our other affiliates would be willing to purchase your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. |
■ |
We cannot assure you that a trading market for your securities will ever develop or be maintained. |
Conflict-related Risks

Trading and hedging activities by us, the guarantor and any of our other affiliates, including BofAS, may create conflicts of interest with you and may affect your return on the securities and their market value. |
