● | Depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
● | Payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of BAC, and actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of BAC are expected to affect the value of the notes. If BAC becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its obligations, you may lose your entire investment. |
● | Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the components of the Market Measure. |
● | The initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price. |
● | If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. |
● | You will not be entitled to any rights with respect to any commodities or futures contracts represented by or included in the Market Measure. |
● | Legal and regulatory changes could adversely affect the return on and value of your notes. |
● | The notes will not be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. |
● | The notes include the risk of concentrated positions in the precious metals sector, particularly gold and silver. There are risks associated with investing in notes linked to the value of precious metals, including high volatility in the prices of the Index Commodities and Index Components. In addition, future prices of the Index Components that are different from their current prices may have a negative effect on the level of the Index, and therefore the value of the notes. |
