BofA to price leveraged market-linked step-up notes on index basket

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., May 16 – BofA Finance LLC plans to price leveraged market-linked step-up notes due May 2021 linked to a global equity index basket, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Bank of America Corp.

The basket is made up of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 50% initial weight, the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a 25% initial weight and the S&P 500 index with a 25% initial weight.

If the basket finishes up to or above the step-up level – 120% of the initial level – the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 1.45 to 1.65 times the basket gain.

If the basket is flat or increases, but is below the step-up level, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment of 20%.

Investors will be exposed to any losses.

Merrill Lynch & Co. is the agent.

The notes will price in May and settle in June.
