Risk Factors
Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the
following: |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
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 have no rights of a holder of the securities represented by the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other
distributions by the issuers of those securities. |
|
|
|
Your return on the notes may be affected by factors affecting the international securities markets, specifically changes in the Eurozone. In addition, you will
not obtain the benefit of any increase in the value of the euro against the U.S. dollar which you would have received if you had owned the securities in the Market Measure during the term of your notes, although the level of the Market Measure may
be adversely affected by general exchange rate movements in the market. |
|
|
|
The stocks included in the Market Measure are concentrated in one sector, and adverse conditions in the financial sector may reduce your return on the notes.
|
|
|
|
Economic conditions have adversely impacted the stock prices of many companies in the financial services sector, and may do so during the term of the notes.
|
Final terms will be set on the pricing date within the given range for the specified Market-Linked Investment. Please see the
Preliminary Offering Documents for complete product disclosure, including related risks and tax disclosure.
