Hypothetical Payout Profile***
*** assumes a Call Premium equal to the lowest possible Call Premium that may be determined on the Pricing Date.
If the Securities are not automatically called and the Ending Value of the Lowest Performing Underlying on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Threshold Value, you will receive less, and possible 90% less, than the principal amount of your Securities on the Maturity Date.
Any positive return on the Securities will be limited to any applicable Call Premium, even if the Fund Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying on the applicable Call Date significantly exceeds its Call Value. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying beyond any applicable Call Premium.
The initial estimated value of the Securities as of the pricing date is expected to be between $904.25 and $964.25 per Security, which is less than the public offering price. The actual value of your Securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PS-8 of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and "Structuring the Securities" on page PS-24 of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for additional information.
The Securities have complex features and investing in the Securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Potential purchasers of the Securities should consider the information in "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PS-8 of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and in "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-6 of the accompanying product supplement, page S-7 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, and page 7 of the accompanying prospectus.
This introductory term sheet does not provide all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision.
Investors should carefully review the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus before making a decision to invest in the Securities.
NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY
Selected Risk Considerations
The risks set forth below, as well as additional risks related to this investment, are discussed in detail in the "Selected Risk Considerations" section in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement. Please review those risk disclosures carefully.
●
Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.
●
Any positive investment return on the Securities is limited.
●
The Securities do not bear interest.
●
The amount payable upon an automatic call or the Maturity Payment Amount, as applicable, will not reflect the values of the Underlyings other than on the Call Dates.
●
The Securities are subject to a potential automatic call, which would limit your ability to receive further payment on the Securities.
●
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 some or a significant portion of your principal amount even if the Fund Closing Price of one Underlying is always greater than or equal to its Call Value or Threshold Value.
●
Your return on the Securities may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.
●
A Call Settlement Date and the Maturity Date may be postponed if a Call 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's or the Guarantor's creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of, or any amounts payable on, 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 Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("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 adversely 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.
●
Any payments on the Securities and whether the Securities are automatically called will depend upon the performance of the Underlyings, and therefore the Securities are subject to the following risks, each as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement.
o
Changes that affect an Underlying or its respective fund underlying index may adversely affect the value of the Securities and any payments on the Securities.
o
We cannot control actions by any of the unaffiliated companies whose securities are included in an Underlying or its respective fund underlying index.
o
We and our affiliates have no affiliation with any fund sponsor or fund underlying index sponsor and have not independently verified its public disclosure of information.
o
Risks associated with an applicable fund underlying index will affect the value of that Underlying and hence the value of the Securities.
●
The Notes are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
●
The Notes are subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets.
●
There are risks associated with emerging markets.
●
Governmental regulatory actions could result in material changes to the composition of the Underlyings and could negatively affect your return on the Notes.
●
The performance of an Underlying may not correlate with the performance of its underlying index as well as the net asset value per share or unit of the Underlying, especially during periods of market volatility.
●
The anti-dilution adjustments will be limited.
●
The publisher or the sponsor or investment advisor of an Underlying may adjust that Underlying in a way that affects its prices, and the publisher or the sponsor or investment advisor has no obligation to consider your interests.
●
The U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the Securities are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the Securities.
