Autocallable Contingent Coupon (with Memory) Barrier Notes
Linked to the Worst-Performing of the Common Stock of Adobe Inc., the Class A Common Stock of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation, due November , 2025

Summary

The Autocallable Contingent Coupon (with Memory) Barrier Notes Linked to the Worst-Performing of the Common Stock of Adobe Inc., the Class A Common Stock of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation, due November , 2025 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. Payments on the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BAC. The notes and the related guarantee are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of BofA Finance’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law, and the related guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of BAC’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law, and senior to its subordinated obligations. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance, as issuer, and BAC, as guarantor. The notes will pay a Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) on the applicable Coupon Payment Date if the Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure (as described in "Terms of the Notes" below) on the applicable quarterly Coupon Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier. The Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) payable on any Coupon Payment Date will be calculated according to the formula described below in “Terms of the Notes—Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory).” The notes will be automatically called if the Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on any Call Observation Date is equal to or greater than its Call Value. If your notes are called, you will receive the Call Payment on the applicable Call Payment Date, and no further amounts will be payable on the notes. If your notes are not called, at maturity, if the Ending Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure is greater than or equal to its Threshold Value, you will receive the principal amount plus the final Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory); otherwise, your notes are subject to 1-to-1 downside exposure to decreases in the Worst-Performing Market Measure from its Starting Value, with up to 100.00% of the principal amount at risk. All payments on the notes will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend on the performance of the Worst-Performing Market Measure, subject to our and BAC’s credit risk. See “Terms of the Notes” below.

The economic terms of the notes are based on BAC’s internal funding rate, which is the rate it would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements. BAC’s internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate it would pay when it issues conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. This difference in funding rate, as well as the underwriting discount and costs associated with hedging the notes, will reduce the economic terms of the notes to you and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. Due to these factors, the public offering price you pay to purchase the notes will be greater than the initial estimated value of the notes.

On the cover page of this term sheet, we have provided the initial estimated value range for the notes. This initial estimated value range was determined based on our, BAC’s and our other affiliates’ pricing models, which take into consideration BAC’s internal funding rate and the market prices for the hedging arrangements related to the notes. The initial estimated value of the notes calculated on the pricing date will be set forth in the final term sheet made available to investors in the notes. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the notes, see “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-14.

Investor Considerations

You may wish to consider an investment in the notes if:		The notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if:
■ You understand that any payment on the notes will be based solely on the performance of the Worst-Performing Market Measure. ■ You anticipate that the Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure will be greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on most or all of the Coupon Observation Dates. ■ You anticipate that the notes will be automatically called, in which case you accept an early exit from your investment, or if not automatically called that the Worst-Performing Market Measure will not decrease from its Starting Value to an Ending Value that is below its Threshold Value. ■ You accept that the return on the notes will be limited to the return represented by the Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory) even if the percentage change in the price of the Worst-Performing Market Measure is significantly greater than such return. ■ You are willing to lose up to 100% of the principal amount if the notes are not called. ■ You are willing to forgo dividends or other benefits of owning shares of the Underlying Stocks. ■ You are willing to accept a limited or no market for sales for the notes prior to maturity, and understand that the market prices for the notes, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our and BAC’s actual and perceived creditworthiness, BAC’s internal funding rate and fees and charges on the notes. ■ You are willing to assume our credit risk, as issuer of the notes, and BAC’s credit risk, as guarantor of the notes. for all payments under the notes, including the Redemption Amount.		■ You are unwilling to accept that any payment on the notes will be based solely on the performance of the Worst-Performing Market Measure, regardless of the performance of the other Underlying Stocks. ■ You anticipate that the Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure will be less than its Coupon Barrier on each Coupon Observation Date. ■ You wish to make an investment that cannot be automatically called prior to maturity. ■ You seek an uncapped return on your investment. ■ You seek principal repayment or preservation of capital. ■ You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the Underlying Stocks. ■ You seek an investment for which there will be a liquid secondary market. ■ You are unwilling or are unable to take market risk on the notes, to take our credit risk, as issuer of the notes, or to take BAC’s credit risk, as guarantor of the notes.

We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

Examples of Hypothetical Payments

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only. They are based on hypothetical values and show hypothetical returns on the notes. They illustrate the calculation of the Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory), the Call Payment or the Redemption Amount, as applicable, based on the hypothetical terms set forth below. The actual amount you receive and the resulting return will depend on the actual Starting Values, Coupon Barriers, Threshold Values, Call Values and Observation Values of the Underlying Stocks, the actual Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory), whether the notes are automatically called and the term of your investment. The following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes. These examples are based on the following hypothetical terms:

1)	a Starting Value of 100.00 for the Worst-Performing Market Measure;

2)	a Coupon Barrier of 60.00 for the Worst-Performing Market Measure;

3)	a Threshold Value of 60.00 for the Worst-Performing Market Measure;

4)	a Call Value of 100.00 for the Worst-Performing Market Measure;

5)	an expected term of the notes of approximately one year if the notes are not called on any Call Observation Date;

6)	a Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) applicable to a single Coupon Payment Date of $0.60 per unit (the mid-point of the Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) range);

7)	the Coupon Observation Dates occurring quarterly beginning approximately three months after the pricing date; and

8)	the Call Observation Dates occurring quarterly beginning approximately three months after the pricing date.

The hypothetical Starting Value of 100.00 for the Worst-Performing Market Measure used in these examples has been chosen for illustrative purposes only, and does not represent a likely actual Starting Value of any Underlying Stock. For recent actual prices of the Underlying Stocks, see “The Underlying Stocks” section below. The Ending Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure will not include any income generated by dividends paid on the Underlying Stocks, which you would otherwise be entitled to receive if you invested in the Underlying Stocks directly. In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk.

Example 1 - The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on the first Coupon Observation Date (which is also the first Call Observation Date) is 50.00. Therefore, no Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) is paid on the related Coupon Payment Date and the notes are not automatically called.

Example 2 - The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on the first Coupon Observation Date (which is also the first Call Observation Date) is below its Call Value and its Coupon Barrier. Therefore, no Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) is paid on the related Coupon Payment Date and the notes are not automatically called. The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on the second Coupon Observation Date is 105.00. Therefore, the notes will be automatically called at $10.00 plus the Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) otherwise due on the applicable Call Payment Date, calculated as follows:

the product of the Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) applicable to a single Coupon Payment Date and the number of Coupon Payment Dates that have occurred up to the relevant Coupon Payment Date (inclusive of the relevant Coupon Payment Date) minus (ii) the sum of all Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory) previously paid.

= (i) $0.60 x 2 - (ii) $0.00 = $1.20 per unit

Call Payment on the second Call Payment Date = $11.20 per unit.

Example 3 - The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on the first Coupon Observation Date (which is also the first Call Observation Date) is below its Call Value and its Coupon Barrier. Therefore, no Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) is paid on the related Coupon Payment Date and the notes are not automatically called. The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on the second Coupon Observation Date is above its Coupon Barrier but below its Call Value. Therefore, a Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) of $1.20 per unit ($0.60 x 2 - $0) is paid on the related Coupon Payment Date but the notes are not automatically called. The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on the third Coupon Observation Date is 75.00. Therefore, the notes are not automatically called but a Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) is paid on the related Coupon Payment Date, calculated as follows:

= (i) $0.60 x 3 - (ii) $1.20 = $0.60 per unit

Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) payable on the third Coupon Payment Date = $0.60 per unit.

Example 4 - The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on each of the first three Coupon Observation Dates (which are also the Call Observation Dates) is above its Coupon Barrier but below its Call Value. Therefore, the notes are not automatically called prior to maturity but a Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) of $0.60 per unit is paid on each of the first three Coupon Payment Dates. The Ending Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure is 95.00, which is greater than its Coupon Barrier and its Threshold Value. The Redemption Amount will equal $10.00 plus the final Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) of $0.60 = $10.60 per unit.

Autocallable Contingent Coupon (with Memory) Barrier Notes

TS-6

Example 5 - The Observation Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure on each of the first three Coupon Observation Dates (which are also the Call Observation Dates) is below its Coupon Barrier and its Call Value. Therefore, the notes are not automatically called prior to maturity and no Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) is paid on any of the first three Coupon Payment Dates. If the Ending Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure is less than its Threshold Value (which would also be less than its Coupon Barrier), the Redemption Amount will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount and no final Contingent Coupon Payment (with Memory) will be payable at maturity. For example, if the Ending Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure is 50.00, the Redemption Amount per unit will be:

Risk Factors

There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page PS-9 of the accompanying product supplement, page S-6 of the Series A MTN prospectus supplement, and page 7 of the prospectus identified above. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about significant elements of the notes or financial matters in general. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

Structure-related Risks

■	If the notes are not called and the Ending Value of the Worst-Performing Market Measure is less than its Threshold Value, you will lose up to 100% of the principal amount.

■	Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory) and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Underlying Stocks.

■	Payments on the notes will not reflect changes in the values of the Underlying Stocks other than on the Coupon Observation Dates, the Call Observation Dates or the Final Calculation Day.

■	You may not receive any Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory).

■	If the notes are called, you will be subject to reinvestment risk, and you will lose the opportunity to receive Contingent Coupon Payments (with Memory), if any, that otherwise might have been payable after the date of the call.

■

The notes are subject to the risks of each Underlying Stock, not a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks, and will be negatively affected if the level of any Underlying Stock decreases below its Coupon Barrier as of any Coupon Observation Date or below its Threshold Value on the Final Calculation Day, even if the levels of the other Underlying Stocks are above their respective Coupon Barrier or Threshold Value as of those days.

■	You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks.

■

Because the notes are linked to three underlying stocks, as opposed to only one, it is more likely that a Contingent Coupon Payment will not be payable on any given Coupon Payment Date or that the Ending Value of an Underlying Stock will be less than its Threshold Value on the Final Calculation Day, and consequently, you will not receive a positive return on the notes and will lose some or all of your investment.

■

You will be subject to risks relating to the relationship between the Underlying Stocks. The less correlated the Underlying Stocks, the more likely it is that the Observation Value of one of the Underlying Stocks will be below its Coupon Barrier as of each Coupon Observation Date or below its Threshold Value on the Final Calculation Day.

■	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 the credit risk of BAC, and any actual or perceived changes in our or BAC’s creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If we and BAC become insolvent or are unable to pay our respective obligations, you may lose your entire investment.

■	We are a finance subsidiary and, as such, have no independent assets, operations or revenues.

■	BAC’s obligations under its guarantee of the notes will be structurally subordinated to liabilities of its subsidiaries.

■

The notes issued by us will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration with other indebtedness of BofA Finance or BAC; events of bankruptcy or insolvency or resolution proceedings relating to BAC and covenant breach by BAC will not constitute an event of default with respect to the notes.

Valuation- and Market-related Risks

■

The initial estimated value of the notes considers certain assumptions and variables and relies in part on certain forecasts about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. The initial estimated value of the notes is an estimate only, determined as of a particular point in time by reference to our and our affiliates’ pricing models. These pricing models consider certain assumptions and variables, including our credit spreads and those of BAC, BAC’s internal funding rate on the pricing date, mid-market terms on hedging transactions, expectations on interest rates and volatility, price-sensitivity analysis, and the expected term of the notes. These pricing models rely in part on certain forecasts about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.

■

The public offering price you pay for the notes will exceed the initial estimated value. If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for them and lower than the initial estimated value. This is due to, among other things, changes in the prices of the Underlying Stocks, changes in BAC’s internal funding rate, and the inclusion in the public offering price of the underwriting discount and costs associated with hedging the notes, all as further described in “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-14. These factors, together with various credit, market and economic factors

Autocallable Contingent Coupon (with Memory) Barrier Notes

TS-8

over the term of the notes, are expected to reduce the price at which you may be able to sell the notes in any secondary market and will affect the value of the notes in complex and unpredictable ways.

■

The initial estimated value does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we, BAC, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our other affiliates would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your notes at any time after issuance will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including the performance of the Underlying Stocks, our and BAC’s creditworthiness and changes in market conditions.

■	A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, BAC, MLPF&S or BofAS is obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes. There is no assurance that any party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price in any secondary market.

Conflict-related Risks

■

BAC and its affiliates’ hedging and trading activities (including trades in shares of the Underlying Stocks) and any hedging and trading activities BAC or its affiliates engage in that are not for your account or on your behalf, 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 an affiliate of ours. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.

Market Measure-related Risks

■	The Underlying Company will have no obligations relating to the notes, and none of us, BAC, 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 Underlying Stocks and you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Underlying Stocks or dividends or other distributions by the Underlying Companies.

■	While BAC and our other affiliates may from time to time own securities of the Underlying Companies, we, BAC and our other affiliates do not control the Underlying Companies, and have not verified any disclosure made by any other company.

■	Payments on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect the Underlying Stocks. See “Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” beginning on page PS-33 of the accompanying product supplement.

Tax-related Risks

■	The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the notes. See “Summary Tax Consequences” below and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page PS-45 of the accompanying product supplement.

Additional Risk Factors

CRWD has limited actual historical information.

CRWD commenced trading on the Nasdaq Select Global Market recently. Because CRWD is of recent origin and limited actual historical performance data exists with respect to it, your investment in the notes may involve a greater risk than investing in notes linked to Underlying Stocks with a more established record of performance.

TS-9

The Underlying Stocks

We have derived the following information from publicly available documents. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the following information.

Because each Underlying Stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Underlying Companies are required to file periodically certain financial and other information specified by the SEC. Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the Underlying Companies can be located through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov by reference to the applicable CIK number set forth below.

This term sheet relates only to the notes and does not relate to any Underlying Stock or to any other securities of the Underlying Companies. None of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates has participated or will participate in the preparation of the Underlying Companies’ publicly available documents. None of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates has made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the Underlying Companies in connection with the offering of the notes. None of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates makes any representation that the publicly available documents or any other publicly available information regarding the Underlying Companies are accurate or complete. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of this term sheet, including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of these publicly available documents that would affect the trading price of the Underlying Stocks, have been or will be publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any events or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning an Underlying Company could affect the value of the applicable Underlying Stock and therefore could affect your return on the notes. The selection of the Underlying Stocks is not a recommendation to buy or sell the Underlying Stocks.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest

Under our distribution agreement with BofAS, BofAS will purchase the notes from us as principal at the public offering price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount.

MLPF&S will purchase the notes from BofAS for resale, and will receive a selling concession in connection with the sale of the notes in an amount up to the full amount of underwriting discount set forth on the cover of this term sheet.

We will pay a fee to LFT Securities, LLC for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering, which will reduce the economic terms of the notes to you. An affiliate of BofAS has an ownership interest in LFT Securities, LLC.

MLPF&S and BofAS, each a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and will participate as selling agent in the case of BofAS, and as dealer, in the case of MLPF&S, in the distribution of the notes. Accordingly, offerings of the notes will conform to the requirements of Rule 5121 applicable to FINRA members. MLPF&S may not make sales in this offering to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the account holder.

We may deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than one business day following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the initial settlement of the notes occurs more than one business day from the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business day prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 25,000 units. If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S and/or one of its affiliates acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.

MLPF&S and BofAS may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, and these will include MLPF&S’s and BofAS’s trading commissions and mark-ups or mark-downs. MLPF&S and BofAS may act as principal or agent in these market-making transactions; however, neither is obligated to engage in any such transactions. At their discretion, for a short, undetermined initial period after the issuance of the notes, MLPF&S and BofAS may offer to buy the notes in the secondary market at a price that may exceed the initial estimated value of the notes. Any price offered by MLPF&S or BofAS for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including the performance of the Underlying Stocks and the remaining term of the notes. However, neither we nor any of our affiliates is obligated to purchase your notes at any price, or at any time, and we cannot assure you that we or any of our affiliates will purchase your notes at a price that equals or exceeds the initial estimated value of the notes.

The value of the notes shown on your account statement will be based on BofAS’s estimate of the value of the notes if BofAS or another of our affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it is not obligated to do. That estimate will be based upon the price that BofAS may pay for the notes in light of then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, as mentioned above, and will include transaction costs. At certain times, this price may be higher than or lower than the initial estimated value of the notes.

Structuring the Notes

The notes are our debt securities, the return on which is linked to the performance of the Underlying Stocks. The related guarantees are BAC’s obligations. As is the case for all of our and BAC’s respective debt securities, including our market-linked notes, the economic terms of the notes reflect our and BAC’s actual or perceived creditworthiness at the time of pricing. In addition, because market-linked notes result in increased operational, funding and liability management costs to us and BAC, BAC typically borrows the funds under these types of notes at a rate that is more favorable to BAC than the rate that it might pay for a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security. This rate, which we refer to in this term sheet as BAC’s internal funding rate, is typically lower than the rate BAC would pay when it issues conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. This generally relatively lower internal funding rate, which is reflected in the economic terms of the notes, along with the fees and charges associated with market-linked notes, typically results in the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date being less than their public offering price.

At maturity, if not previously automatically called, we are required to pay the Redemption Amount to holders of the notes, which will be calculated based on the performance of the Underlying Stocks and the $10 per unit principal amount. In order to meet these payment obligations, at the time we issue the notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call options, put options or other derivatives) with BofAS or one of our other affiliates. The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined by seeking bids from market participants, including MLPF&S, BofAS and its affiliates, and take into account a number of factors, including our and BAC’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Underlying Stocks, the tenor of the notes and the tenor of the hedging arrangements. The economic terms of the notes and their initial estimated value depend in part on the terms of these hedging arrangements. These hedging arrangements are expected to result in a profit to those engaging in the hedging activity, which could be more or less than initially expected, but could also result in a loss.

Summary Tax Consequences

You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the following:

■	There is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the notes.

■	You agree with us (in the absence of an administrative determination, or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize and treat the notes for all tax purposes as a contingent income-bearing single financial contract with respect to the Underlying Stocks.

■

Under this characterization and tax treatment of the notes, a U.S. Holder (as defined in the prospectus) generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon maturity or upon a sale, exchange or redemption of the notes prior to maturity. This capital gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss.

■	No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any court will agree with this characterization and tax treatment.

■	We intend to take the position that any Contingent Coupon Payments constitute taxable ordinary income to a U.S. Holder at the time received or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting.

■

Because the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Contingent Coupon Payments is uncertain, we (or the applicable paying agent) will withhold U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the entire amount of any Contingent Coupon Payment made to a Non-U.S. Holder unless such payments are effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the U.S. (in which case, to avoid withholding, the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide a Form W-8ECI). We (or the applicable paying agent) will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding.

■	Under current IRS guidance, withholding on “dividend equivalent” payments (as discussed in the product supplement), if any, will not apply to notes that are issued as of the date of this term sheet unless such notes are “delta-one” instruments.

You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. You should review carefully the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page PS-45 of the accompanying product supplement.
