Risk Factors
| · | Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
| · | The Notes do not bear interest. |
| · | The Call Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable, will not reflect the levels of the Underlyings other than on the Observation Date and the Valuation Date. |
| · | Because the Notes are linked to the least performing (and not the average performance) of the Underlyings, you may not receive any return on the Notes and may lose some or all of your principal amount even if the Observation Value or Ending Value of one Underlying is always greater than or equal to its Call Value or Threshold Value, as applicable. |
| · | The Notes are subject to a potential Automatic Call, which would limit your ability to receive further payment on the Notes. |
| · | Your return on the Notes may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. |
| · | Any payment on the Notes is subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance and the Guarantor, and any actual or perceived changes in BofA Finance’s or the Guarantor’s creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the Notes. |
| · | We are a finance subsidiary and, as such, have no independent assets, operations, or revenues. |
| · | The public offering price you pay for the Notes will exceed their initial estimated value. |
| · | The initial estimated value does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we, BAC, BofAS or any of our other affiliates would be willing to purchase your Notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. |
| · | We cannot assure you that a trading market for your Notes will ever develop or be maintained. |
| · | Trading and hedging activities by us, the Guarantor and any of our other affiliates, including BofAS, may create conflicts of interest with you and may affect your return on the Notes and their market value. |
| · | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours. |
| · | The Notes are subject to risks associated with small-size capitalization companies. |
| · | The Notes are subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets. |
| · | The publisher of an Underlying may adjust that Underlying in a way that affects its levels, and the publisher has no obligation to consider your interests. |
| · | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the Notes. |
