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.
    Changes in the value of one of the Basket Components may be offset by changes in the value of the other Basket Component.
    The initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price.
    If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date.
    You will have no rights of a holder of the securities included in the Basket Components, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities.
    Your return on the notes and the value of the notes may be affected by exchange rate movements and factors affecting the international securities markets.

Final terms will be set on the pricing date within the given range for the specified Market-Linked Investment. Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for complete product disclosure, including related risks and tax disclosure.
