|
●
Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.
●
Your return on the Securities is limited to the return represented by the Contingent Coupon Payments, if any, over the term of the Securities.
●
The Securities are subject to a potential early redemption, which would limit your ability to receive the Contingent Coupon Payments over the full term of the Securities.
●
You may not receive any Contingent Coupon Payments.
●
Because the Securities are linked to the lowest performing (and not the average performance) of the Underlyings, you may not receive any return on the Securities and may lose a significant portion or all of your principal amount even if the closing level of one Underlying is always greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier or Threshold Value, as applicable.
●
Higher Contingent Coupon Rates are associated with greater risk.
●
Your return on the Securities may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.
●
A Contingent Coupon Payment Date, an Optional Redemption Date and the Maturity Date may be postponed if an Observation Period End-Date is postponed.
●
Any payment on the Securities is subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance, as issuer, and BAC, as Guarantor, and actual or perceived changes in BofA Finance 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.
●
The public offering price 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 BofA Finance, BAC, BofAS or any of our other affiliates or WFS or its affiliates would be willing to purchase your Securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time.
|
●
BofA Finance cannot assure you that a trading market for your Securities will ever develop or be maintained.
●
The Securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and if you attempt to sell the Securities prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than the principal amount.
●
Trading and hedging activities by BofA Finance, the Guarantor and any of our other affiliates, including BofAS, and WFS and its affiliates, may create conflicts of interest with you and may affect your return on the Securities and their market value.
●
There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours.
●
Changes that affect the Underlyings may adversely affect the value of the Securities and any payments on the Securities.
●
We and our affiliates have no affiliation with any Underlying Sponsor and have not independently verified their public disclosure of information.
●
The Securities are subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets.
●
The Securities are subject to risks associated with small-size capitalization companies.
●
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the Securities.
