**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:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Depending on the performance of the Basket as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there
is no guaranteed return of principal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly
in the Basket Stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The public offering price you pay for the notes will exceed the initial estimated value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The initial estimated value does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our affiliates
would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates (including trades in the
Basket Stocks), 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is BofAS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Underlying Companies will have no obligations relating to the notes, and none of us, MLPF&S or BofAS will perform any due
diligence procedures with respect to any Underlying Company in connection with this offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Changes in the price of one Basket Stock may be offset by changes in the prices of the other Basket Stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You will have no rights of a holder of the Basket Stocks, and you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Basket Stocks or dividends
or other distributions by the Underlying Companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may from time to time own securities of the Underlying Companies, we, MLPF&S,
BofAS and our respective affiliates do not control any Underlying Company, and have not verified any disclosures made by any Underlying
Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Redemption Amount will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect a Basket Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Basket is concentrated in the financial sector, and an investment in the notes involves certain risks associated with an investment
in companies in the financial sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes are uncertain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The stocks included in the Basket are concentrated in one sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adverse conditions in the financial sector may reduce your return on the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 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.***
