Description of Terms
· | Linked to the Russell 2000® Index |
· | Unlike ordinary debt Securities, the Securities do not pay interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic call upon the terms described below. Any return you receive on the Securities and whether they are automatically called will depend on the performance of the Underlying |
· | Automatic Call. If the closing level of the Underlying on any Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Starting Value, the Securities will be automatically called, and on the related Call Settlement Date, you will receive the principal amount plus the Call Premium applicable to that Observation Date. The Call Premium applicable to each Observation Date will be a percentage of the principal amount that increases for each Observation Date based on a simple (non-compounding) return of 6.00% per annum |
Observation Date | Call Premium |
November 3, 2022 | 6.00% of the principal amount |
November 3, 2023 | 12.00% of the principal amount |
November 4, 2024 | 18.00% of the principal amount |
October 27, 2025 (the “Valuation Date”) | 24.00% of the principal amount |
· | Redemption Amount. If the Securities are not automatically called, you will receive a Redemption Amount that could be equal to or less than the principal amount per Security depending on the closing level of the Underlying on the Valuation Date as follows: |
o | If the level of the Underlying decreases but the decrease is not more than 10%: |
You will receive the principal amount of your Securities at maturity
o | If the level of the Underlying decreases by more than 10%: |
You will receive less than the principal amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Underlying in excess of 10%
· | Investors may lose up to 90% of the principal amount |
· | Any positive return on the Securities will be limited to the applicable Call Premium |
· | All payments on the Securities are subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance LLC, as issuer, and Bank of America Corporation, as guarantor, and you will have no ability to pursue any securities included in any Underlying for payment; if BofA Finance LLC, as issuer, and Bank of America Corporation, as guarantor, default on their respective obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment |
· | No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity |
The initial estimated value of the Securities as of the pricing date is $955.20 per Security, which is less than the public offering price. The actual value of your Securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-8 of the accompanying pricing supplement and “Structuring the Securities” on page PS-22 of the accompanying pricing supplement for additional information.
The Securities have complex features and investing in the Securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Potential purchasers of the Securities should consider the information in “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-8 of the accompanying pricing supplement, page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement, page S-5 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, and page 7 of the accompanying prospectus.
This final term sheet should be read in conjunction with the accompanying pricing supplement, product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus before making a decision to invest in the Securities.
