The PLUS do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest. The PLUS are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income in exchange for the leverage feature, which applies for a limited range of upside performance of the underlying index. The PLUS are our senior debt securities. Any payments on the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”). The PLUS are issued as part of BofA Finance LLC’s (“BofA Finance”) “Medium-Term Notes, Series A” program.

■ |
We cannot assure you that a trading market for your PLUS will ever develop or be maintained. |
