Underlying shares
For information about each of the underlying shares, including historical performance information, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
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. |
■ |
Any positive investment return on the securities is limited. |
■ |
The securities do not bear interest. |
■ |
The securities are subject to potential early redemption, which would limit your ability to receive further payment on the securities. |
■ |
Your return on the securities may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. |
■ |
The early redemption payment or payment at maturity, as applicable, will not reflect changes in the prices of the underlying shares other than on the determination dates. |
■ |
Because the securities are linked to the worst performing (and not the average performance) of the underlying shares, you may not receive any return on the securities and may lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities even if the determination closing price or final share price, as applicable, of one of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold price or initial share price. |
■ |
Any payments on the securities 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 securities. |
■ |
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 securities 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 securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. |
■ |
We cannot assure you that a trading market for your securities 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 securities and their market value. |
■ |
There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours. |
Underlying Shares-related Risks
■ |
Adverse conditions in the energy sector may reduce your return on the securities. |
■ |
The stocks of companies in the energy sector are subject to swift price fluctuations. |
■ |
The stocks held by the XLE are concentrated in one sector. |
■ |
The performance of the XLE may not correlate with the performance of its underlying index as well as the net asset value per share or unit of the XLE, especially during periods of market volatility. |
■ |
The securities are subject to risks associated with silver. |
■ |
There are risks associated with commodities trading on the London Bullion Market Association. |
■ |
The performance of the GLD and the SLV may be influenced by gold and silver prices. |
■ |
There is no direct correlation between the value of the securities or the price of the GLD or the SLV, on the one hand, and gold and silver prices, on the other hand. |
■ |
Gold prices are characterized by high and unpredictable volatility, which could lead to high and unpredictable volatility in the GLD. |
■ |
Single commodity prices tend to be more volatile than, and may not correlate with, the prices of commodities generally. |
■ |
The GLD and the SLV are not investment companies or commodity pools and will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended. |
■ |
The performance of the GLD or the SLV may not correlate with the performance of its respective underlying commodity as well as its respective net asset value, especially during periods of market volatility. |
■ |
The anti-dilution adjustments will be limited. |
■ |
The publisher or the sponsor or investment advisor of each of the underlying shares may adjust such underlying shares in a way that affects its values, and the publisher or the sponsor or investment advisor has no obligation to consider your interests. |
Tax-related Risks
■ |
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the securities. |
Tax Considerations
You should review carefully the discussion in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement under the caption “Additional Information About the Securities—Tax considerations” concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, and you should consult your tax adviser.
