Risk Factors
Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of
certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:
| · | Depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured
shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
| · | Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could
earn by owning a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity. |
| · | Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual
or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. |
| · | You will not receive a Step Payment at maturity unless the Ending
Value is greater than or equal to the Step Level. |
| · | Your investment return is limited to the return represented
by the periodic interest payments over the term of the notes and the Step Payment, if any, and may be less than a comparable investment
directly in the Market Measure. |
| · | The initial estimated value of the notes is only an estimate,
determined as of a particular point in time by reference to our and our affiliates’ pricing models. |
| · | The public offering price you pay for the notes will exceed
the initial estimated value. |
| · | The initial estimated value does not represent a minimum or
maximum price at which we, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market
(if any exists) at any time. |
| · | A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. |
| · | Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S,
BofAS and our respective affiliates (including trades in the Market Measure), and any hedging and trading activities we, MLPF&S,
BofAS or our respective affiliates engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value and return of the notes and
may create conflicts of interest with you. |
| · | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation
agent, which is BofAS. |
| · | The Underlying Company will have no obligations relating to
the notes, and none of us, MLPF&S or BofAS will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to the Underlying Company in connection
with this offering. |
| · | You will have no rights of a holder of the Market Measure, and
you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Market Measure or dividends or other distributions by the Underlying Company. |
| · | While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may
from time to time own securities of the Underlying Company, we, MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates do not control the Underlying
Company, and have not verified any disclosure made by the Underlying Company. |
| · | The Redemption Amount will not be adjusted for all corporate
events that could affect the Market Measure. See “Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” beginning on
page PS-22 of product supplement STEPS-1. |
