New Issue: BofA sells $7.87 million autocallable market-linked step-up notes on Russell

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Feb. 25 – BofA Finance LLC priced $7.87 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due Feb. 23, 2024 tied to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Bank of America Corp.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus a premium of 6.2% per year if the index's closing level is greater than or equal to the initial level on any annual observation date.

If the index finishes above the step-up value, 135% of the initial value, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return.

If the index return is zero or positive but the index finishes at or below the step-up value, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment of 35%.

Investors will receive par if the index declines by up to 15% and will be exposed to any losses beyond the buffer.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the underwriter.
