Terms of the Notes

The Contingent Income (with Memory Feature) Auto-Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. and the common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (the "Notes") provide a quarterly Contingent Coupon Payment of at least $22.50 on the applicable Contingent Payment Date if, on any quarterly Observation Date, the Observation Value of each Underlying Stock is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier. The coupon per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes payable on the related Contingent Payment Date will equal (i) the product of at least $22.50 times the number of Contingent Payment Dates that have occurred up to the relevant Contingent Payment Date (inclusive of the relevant Contingent Payment Date) minus (ii) the sum of all Contingent Coupon Payments previously paid. The actual contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date. Beginning with the November 15, 2024 Call Observation Date, if the Observation Value of each Underlying Stock is greater than or equal to 100% of its Starting Value on any Call Observation Date, the Notes will be automatically called, in whole but not in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with the relevant Contingent Coupon Payment. No further amounts will be payable following an Automatic Call. If the Notes are not automatically called, at maturity you will receive the Redemption Amount, calculated as described under "Redemption Amount Determination".

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 a potential Automatic Call, which would limit your ability to receive the Contingent Coupon Payments over the full term of the Notes.
· You may not receive any Contingent 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 changes in the prices of the Underlying Stocks other than on the Observation Dates or Call Observation Dates, as applicable.
· Because the Notes are linked to the least performing (and not the average performance) of the Underlying Stocks, you may not receive any return on the Notes and may lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the Notes even if the Observation Value or Ending Value of one Underlying Stock is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier or Threshold Value, as applicable.
· Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk and the credit risk of the Guarantor, and any actual or perceived changes in our 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 terms of the Notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect an issuer of an Underlying Stock.
· 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.

You may revoke your offer to purchase the Notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer on the date the Notes are priced.

In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase.
