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. |
| · | Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of
comparable maturity. |
| · | Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect
the value of the notes. |
| · | Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly
in the securities included in the Market Measure. |
| · | The initial estimated value of the notes is only an estimate, determined as of a particular point in time by reference to our and
our affiliates’ pricing models. |
| · | The public offering price you pay for the notes will exceed the initial estimated value. |

would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. |
| · | A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. |
| · | Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates (including trades in the
securities included in the Market Measure), and any hedging and trading activities we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates
engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value and return of the notes and may create conflicts of interest with
you. |
| · | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is BofAS. |
| · | The Market Measure sponsor may adjust the Market Measure in a way that affects its level, and has no obligation to consider your interests. |
| · | You will have no rights of a holder of the securities included in the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive securities
or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities. |
| · | While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may from time to time own the securities included in the Market Measure,
we, MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates do not control the issuers of those securities, and have not verified any disclosure
made by any other company. |
