The Trigger PLUS do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest. The Trigger PLUS are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income in exchange for the possibility of receiving the upside leverage feature and the limited protection against loss that applies only if the final index value is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level. The Trigger PLUS are our senior debt securities. Any payments on the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”). The Trigger PLUS are issued as part of BofA Finance LLC’s (“BofA Finance”) “Medium-Term Notes, Series A” program.

Risk Considerations
The risks set forth below are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement. Please review those risk factors carefully prior to making an investment decision.
Structure-related Risks
▪ | Your investment may result in a significant loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
▪ | The Trigger PLUS do not bear interest. |
▪ | Your return on the Trigger PLUS may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. |
▪ | The payment at maturity will not reflect changes in the level of the underlying index other than on the valuation date. |

▪ | We are a finance subsidiary and, as such, have no independent assets, operations, or revenues. |
Valuation- and Market-related Risks
▪ | The price to public you pay for the Trigger PLUS will exceed their initial estimated value. |

▪ | We cannot assure you that a trading market for your Trigger PLUS will ever develop or be maintained. |
Conflict-related Risks
▪ | 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 Trigger PLUS and their market value. |
▪ | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours. |
Underlying Index-related Risks
▪ | The publisher of the underlying index may adjust the underlying index in a way that affects its levels, and the publisher has no obligation to consider your interests. |
▪ | The underlying index may not outperform any other index or strategy that tracks U.S. stocks using different criteria. |
▪ | Governmental regulatory actions, such as sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the Trigger PLUS. |
Tax-related Risks
