Risk Factors
| · | Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
| · | Your return on the Notes is limited to the return represented by the Contingent Coupon Payments, if any, over the term of the Notes. |
· The Notes are subject to Optional Early Redemption.
| · | You may not receive any Contingent Coupon Payments and the Notes do not provide for any regular fixed coupon payments. |
| · | Your return on the Notes may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. |
| · | The Contingent Coupon Payment, Early Redemption Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable, will not reflect the values of the Underlyings other than on the Observation Dates. |
| · | 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 a significant portion 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 Coupon Barrier or Threshold Value, as applicable. |
| · | Any payment on the Notes is subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance and the Guarantor, and actual or perceived changes in BofA Finance's or the Guarantor's creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the Notes. |
| · | The public offering price you pay for the Notes will exceed their initial estimated value. |
| · | We cannot assure you that a trading market for your Notes will ever develop or be maintained. |
· Adverse conditions in the consumer discretionary sector may reduce your return on the Notes.
· Adverse conditions in the biotechnology sector may reduce your return on the Notes
· There are risks associated with emerging markets.
· The stocks held by the Underlyings are concentrated in three different sectors.
· An investment in the Notes is subject to risks associated with investing in stocks in the gold and silver mining industry.
· An investment in the Notes is subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets, including emerging markets.
· The Notes are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
· 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.
