New Issue: BofA prices $250,000 contingent income callable notes on ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, April 9 – BofA Finance LLC priced $250,000 of contingent income issuer callable notes due March 31, 2021 linked to the worst performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, the iShares Energy Select Sector SPDR 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 11% 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 after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless any 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.
