Hypothetical Payout Profile****

**** prepared for purposes of illustration only; 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, you will receive less, and possibly 80.00% less, than the principal amount of your Securities at maturity.

Any positive return on the Securities will be limited to any applicable Call Premium, even if the Fund Closing Price of the Underlying on the applicable Call Date significantly exceeds the Threshold Value. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying beyond any applicable Call Premium.

The initial estimated value of the Securities as of the pricing date is expected to be between $915.00 and $965.00 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-18 of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for additional information.

●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 Call Premium or Maturity Payment Amount, as applicable, will not reflect the price of the Underlying 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.

●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 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.

●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 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.

●Changes that affect the Underlying may adversely affect the value of the Securities and any payments on the Securities.

●We cannot control actions by any of the unaffiliated companies whose securities are included in the Underlying.

●We and our affiliates have no affiliation with any fund sponsor and have not independently verified any fund sponsor’s public disclosure of information.

●Risks associated with the underlying assets of the Underlying will affect the value of the Underlying and hence the value of the Securities.

●The ARKK is subject to management risk.

●The Securities are subject to risks associated with micro, small and mid-size capitalization companies.

●The Securities are subject to risks associated with disruptive innovation companies.

●The Securities are subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets.

●The market value of the ARKK may not correlate with the net asset value per share or unit of the ARKK, especially during periods of market volatility.

●The anti-dilution adjustments will be limited.

●The sponsor or investment advisor of the ARKK may adjust the ARKK in a way that affects its prices, and the sponsor or investment advisor has no obligation to consider your interests.
