New Issue: BofA prices $5.25 million contingent income callable notes on EM, financial ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 21 – BofA Finance LLC priced $5.25 million of contingent income issuer callable notes due Sept. 24, 2019 linked to the worst performing of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund and the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Bank of America Corp.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8% if each ETF closes at or above its 70% threshold value on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be callable at par on any contingent interest payment date from Dec. 24, 2018 to June 24, 2019.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either ETF finishes below its 70% threshold value, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing ETF.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
