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. |
| • | Payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of BAC, and actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of BAC are expected to affect the value of the notes. If BAC becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its obligations, you may lose your entire investment. |
| • | Your investment return, if any, is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Market Measure. |
| • | If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for the notes due to, among other things, the inclusion of fees charged for developing, hedging and distributing the notes. |
| • | You will have no rights of a holder of the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive any shares of the Market Measure or dividends or other distributions by the issuer of the Market Measure. |
| • | We do not control the Underlying Company and are not responsible for any disclosure made by the Underlying Company. |
| • | The Underlying Company will have no obligation relating to the notes. |
| • | The Redemption Amount will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect the Market Measure. |
