MTF market is not a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU on Markets in Financial
Instruments (as amended, "MiFID II"). The Programme provides that Instruments may be listed or
admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such further or other stock exchanges or markets as the
relevant Issuer and the Dealer(s) (as defined herein) may agree. The applicable Final Terms will specify

In respect of Instruments constituting structured products within the meaning of Article 5 of the Swiss
Federal Act on Investment Schemes of 23 June 2006 (the "CISA") ("Structured Products") which are
not listed on SIX Swiss Exchange or an another Swiss stock exchange that ensures the transparency
required by the CISA and its implementing ordinance ("Unlisted Structured Products") and which are
intended to be distributed in Switzerland to non-qualified investors within the meaning of the CISA, the
relevant Issuer will set forth all information which may be required to be disclosed in a simplified
prospectus complying with Article 5 CISA, its implementing regulations and the Swiss Banking
Guidelines on Informing Investors about Structured Products (as amended from time to time) in a
separate document referred to as "Final Terms" and/or "Simplified Prospectus" and the relevant Issuer
reserves the right to prepare such separate document for any other Instruments constituting Structured
Products.

The Instruments, the Guarantees and, in certain cases, any securities to be delivered upon exercise or
settlement of the Instruments (if any) have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any U.S. state securities laws. The Instruments,
the Guarantees and certain Entitlements do not constitute, and have not been marketed as, contracts of
sale of a commodity for future delivery (or options thereon) subject to the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act
of 1936, as amended (the "CEA"), and trading in the Instruments has not been approved by the U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") pursuant to the CEA. The Notes issued by BAC
and BofA Finance may not be offered, sold, resold, traded, transferred, pledged, delivered, exercised or
redeemed, directly or indirectly, at any time within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit
of, any U.S. person (other than distributors) except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Instruments (other than Rule 144A
Instruments) issued by MLBV and MLICo., and certain Entitlements (if any) relating to such Instruments,
may not be legally or beneficially owned by U.S. persons at any time nor offered, sold or delivered in the
United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. None of the Issuers has registered as an
investment company pursuant to the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), and the rules thereunder. MLBV and MLICo. may offer and sell Instruments of certain issues
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, if such persons are
reasonably believed by MLBV or MLICo., as applicable, to be qualified institutional buyers (each a
"QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") who are also each a qualified
purchaser (each a "QP") within the meaning of Section 3(c)(7) and as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the
1940 Act and the rules thereunder and who have executed an Investor Representation Letter (as defined
herein) prior to acquiring any interest in such Instruments, such Instruments being referred to in this
Offering Circular as "Rule 144A Instruments". Each purchaser of Rule 144A Instruments is hereby
notified that the offer and sale of such Rule 144A Instruments is being made in reliance upon the
exemption from the securities registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and
upon the relevant exemptions from U.S. state securities laws and any other applicable laws of other
jurisdictions, and that such Rule 144A Instruments are not transferable except as provided under
"Offering and Sale" below. In certain circumstances, exercise or settlement of Instruments will be
conditional upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership or, in the case of a Series (as defined
below) of Rule 144A Instruments, that the holder (and any person on whose behalf the holder is acting) is
a QIB and a QP. See "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" on pages 167 to 210 and "Additional Terms
and Conditions for Rule 144A Notes" on pages 606 to 610. See "Terms and Conditions of the W&C
Instruments" on pages 305 to 352 and "Additional Terms and Conditions for Rule 144A W&C
Instruments" on pages 611 to 624. Investors in the Instruments will be deemed to have made or be
required to make certain acknowledgements, representations and warranties in connection with
purchasing the Instruments. See "Notice to Purchasers and Holders of Instruments and Transfer
Restrictions" on pages 710 to 727. Rule 144A Instruments will, unless otherwise specified in the
applicable Final Terms, be sold through BofA Securities, Inc. or one of its affiliates, which in each case is
a registered broker dealer in the United States.
Rule 144A Instruments relating to commodities and commodities futures may only be offered, sold or
resold in or into the United States pursuant to one or more applicable exemptions and/or exclusions under
the CEA. MLBV, MLICo. and the Guarantor reserve the right not to make payment or delivery in respect
of any such Rule 144A Instruments to a person in the United States or a U.S. person if such payment or
delivery would constitute a violation of U.S. law.
Hedging transactions involving any Warrants may not be conducted unless in compliance with the
Securities Act.
Unless otherwise indicated, as used in this Offering Circular, "U.S. person" has the meaning ascribed to
it by Regulation S under the Securities Act.
For a description of certain further restrictions on offers and sales of the Instruments and on the
distribution of this Offering Circular, see "Offering and Sale" on pages 771 to 799.
The Notes issued by BAC and BofA Finance are unsecured and are not and will not be savings accounts,
deposits or obligations of, or otherwise guaranteed by, Bank of America, N.A. ("BANA") or any other
bank. The Notes issued by BAC and BofA Finance do not evidence deposits of BANA or any other
banking affiliate of BAC and are not insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"), the Deposit Insurance Fund or any other insurer or governmental agency or instrumentality.

Each issue of Instruments will be issued in the form set out in "Form of the Instruments" on pages 117 to
121.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Instruments
includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Instruments are not intended
to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1)
of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended or superseded
("IMD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of
Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the
"PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, in the case where the Final Terms in respect of any Instruments
includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" but where the Issuer
subsequently prepares and publishes a key information document under the PRIIPs Regulation in respect
of such Instruments, then following such publication, the prohibition on the offering, sale or otherwise
making available the Instruments to a retail investor as described in the above paragraph and in such
legend shall no longer apply.
Notification under Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore
(the "SFA"): Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Final Terms in respect of any Instruments, all
Instruments issued or to be issued under the Programme shall be capital markets products other than
prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products)
Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(the "MAS") Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-
N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
Prospective purchasers of Instruments should ensure that they understand the nature of the
relevant Instruments and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability
of the relevant Instruments as an investment in light of their own circumstances and financial
condition. Instruments involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be prepared to
sustain a total loss of the purchase price of their Instruments. See "Risk Factors" on pages 36 to
103.

any) have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act.
This Offering Circular has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Instruments in any
Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive
(each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus
Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a
prospectus for offers of Instruments. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an
offer in that Relevant Member State of Instruments which are the subject of an offering
contemplated in this Offering Circular as completed by the applicable Final Terms in relation to
the offer of those Instruments may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for
the relevant Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each
case, in relation to such offer. None of the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor (if applicable) and any
Dealer have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Instruments in
circumstances in which an obligation arises for the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor (if applicable)
or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
No Notes issued by MLBV or W&C Instruments (other than Rule 144A Instruments), or any
interests therein, may at any time be offered, sold, resold, pledged, assigned, delivered or
otherwise transferred, exercised or redeemed, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or
for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) and any offer, sale, resale,
pledge, assignment, delivery or other transfer, exercise or redemption made, directly or
indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person will not
be recognised. See "Notice to Purchasers and Holders of Instruments and Transfer Restrictions"
and "Offering and Sale". No Notes issued by BAC or BofA Finance may be offered, sold, resold,
traded, transferred, pledged, delivered, exercised or redeemed, directly or indirectly, in the
United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S)
except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The Notes issued by BAC or BofA Finance will be subject to
certain restrictions on transfer see "Offering and Sale".
The Instruments and the Guarantee have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or any other securities commission or other
regulatory authority in the United States, nor have the foregoing authorities reviewed or passed
upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Offering Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offence in the United States. The Instruments, the Guarantee and certain Entitlements
do not constitute, and have not been marketed as, contracts of sale of a commodity for future
delivery (or options thereon) subject to the CEA, and trading in the Instruments has not been
approved by the CFTC pursuant to the CEA.
This Offering Circular is being submitted on a confidential basis in the United States to a limited
number of QIBs who are also QPs for informational use solely in connection with the
consideration of the purchase of the Rule 144A Instruments. It may not be copied or reproduced
in the United States in whole or in part nor may it be distributed or any of its contents disclosed
to anyone in the United States other than the prospective investors to whom it is originally
submitted.
Each purchaser or holder of interests in the Instruments will be deemed, by its acceptance or
purchase of any such Instruments, to have made, or will be required to make, certain
representations and agreements as set out in "Notice to Purchasers and Holders of Instruments
and Transfer Restrictions" and "Offering and Sale".
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each holder and beneficial owner of
the Instruments (and each employee, representative, or other agent of each holder and beneficial
owner of the Instruments) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the

Important Notices
tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions described herein and all materials of any kind
that are provided to the holder or beneficial owner of the Instruments relating to such tax
treatment and tax structure (as such terms are defined in United States Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4). This authorisation of tax disclosure is retroactively effective to the
commencement of discussions with holders or beneficial owners of the Instruments regarding the
transactions contemplated herein.
None of BAC, BofA Finance, MLBV and MLICo. has investigated, and none has or may have
access to information that would permit it to ascertain, whether any company which has issued
equity, debt or other instruments to which any Instruments relate is for United States tax
purposes a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a publicly-
traded partnership or other type of pass-through entity. Prospective investors in any Instruments
that are U.S. taxpayers should consult their own advisers concerning United States tax
considerations relevant to an investment in such Instruments.
If Instruments are linked to Reference Items that are Shares of one or more United States
issuers, such Shares must be registered with the SEC. In addition, if Instruments are linked to
Reference Items that are (i) Shares of one or more United States issuers or (ii) indices comprised
of stock, Shares or other securities of United States issuers, such United States issuers must be, at
the time of the issuance of the relevant Instruments, a reporting issuer under the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). If Instruments are linked to Reference
Items that are ADRs, such ADRs must be listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities
exchange registered under the Exchange Act or included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service
operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
In this Offering Circular, references to "U.S.$", "$" and "U.S. dollars" are to United States
Dollars; references to "A$" are to Australian dollars; references to "EUR", "Euro", "euro" and
"" are to the lawful single currency of the member states of the European Union that have
adopted and continue to retain a common single currency through monetary union in accordance
with European Union treaty law (as amended from time to time); references to "SEK" are to
Swedish Krona, and references to "CNY" are to Chinese Renminbi, the lawful currency of the
People's Republic of China (including any lawful successor to the CNY).
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the
applicable Final Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on
which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is
made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30
calendar days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 calendar days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment
must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any
Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
