= $11.000 Redemption Amount per unit. Since the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value but equal to or greater than the Threshold Value, the
Redemption Amount for the notes will be the principal amount plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the negative return of the Basket.

|
■ |
Depending on the performance of the Basket as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.
|
■ |
Any positive return on the notes is limited and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the stocks included in the Basket Components. The notes provide for a positive return if the value of the Basket increases or does not
decrease by more than 10.00%. However, any positive return on the notes based on the appreciation of the Basket is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than that of a comparable investment directly in the
stocks included in the Basket Components.
|
■ |
Your potential for a positive return based on the depreciation of the Basket is limited by the Threshold Value and may be less than that of a comparable investment that takes a short position directly in the Basket Components (or the
stocks included in the Basket Components). In addition, the absolute value return feature applies only if the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value but greater than or equal to the Threshold Value. Because the Threshold Value is 90.00%
of the Starting Value, any positive return due to the depreciation of the Basket is limited to 10.00%. Any decline in the Ending Value from the Starting Value by more than 10.00% will result in a loss, rather than a positive return, on the
notes. In contrast, for example, a short position in the Basket Components (or the stocks included in the Basket Components) would allow you to receive the full benefit of any decrease in the level of the Basket Components (or the stocks
included in the Basket Components).
|
■ |
Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity
|
■ |
Changes in the level of one or more of the Basket Components may be offset by changes in the levels of one or more of the other Basket Components. Due to the different initial Component Weights (as defined in “The Basket” section below),
changes in the levels of some Basket Components will have a more substantial impact on the value of the Basket than similar changes in the levels of the other Basket Components.
|
■ |
An Index sponsor (as defined below) may adjust the relevant Basket Component in a way that may adversely affect its level and your interests, and has no obligation to consider your interests.
|
■ |
You will have no rights of a holder of the securities included in the Basket Components and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of the securities included in the Basket
Components.
|
■ |
While we, MLPF&S, BofAS, or our or their respective affiliates may from time to time own securities of companies included in the Basket Components, none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS, or our or their respective affiliates control any
company included in the Basket Components, and have not verified any disclosure made by any such company.
|
■ |
Your return on the notes may be affected by factors affecting the international securities markets, specifically changes in the countries represented by the Basket Components. In addition, you will not obtain the benefit of any increase in
the value of the currencies in which the securities in the Basket Components trade against the U.S. dollar which you would have received if you had owned the securities in the Basket Components during the term of your notes, although the
value of the Basket may be adversely affected by the general exchange rate movements in the market.
|
■ |
The initial estimated value of your notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price. The difference between the public offering price of your notes and the initial estimated value of the notes reflects costs and
expected profits associated with selling and structuring the notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the notes (including, but not limited to, the hedging related charge, as further described under “Structuring the Notes” on page
TS-29). Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss and the amount of any such profit or loss will
not be known until the maturity date.
|
■ |
The initial estimated value of your notes is based on our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the initial estimated value of the notes generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for
our conventional fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher
issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions (including, but not limited to, the
hedging related charge, as further described under “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-32), taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt
securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional fixed-rate debt

■ |
The initial estimated value of the notes is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions, including BofAS and MLPF&S. The initial
estimated value of your notes when the terms of the notes are set on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, typically including the expected volatility of the Market Measure,
interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the notes and our internal funding rate, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an
independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models, including those of BofAS and MLPF&S, and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value
of the notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of notes in any secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your notes, if any, may be materially less than the
initial estimated value of the notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
|
■ |
The initial estimated value of your notes is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your notes in the secondary market, if any exists, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be less than the public offering
price of your notes, may be less than the initial estimated value of your notes and could result in a substantial loss to you. The initial estimated value of the notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which MLPF&S, BofAS, or our
or their respective affiliates or third parties may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell
your notes in the secondary market at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than the
initial estimated value of the notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your notes take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs and expected
profits associated with selling and structuring the notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the notes, secondary market prices of your notes will likely be less than the public offering price of your notes. As a result, the price at
which MLPF&S, BofAS, or our or their respective affiliates or third parties may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your notes, and any sale
prior to maturity could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
■ |
A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates is obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes. There is no assurance that any party will be
willing to purchase your notes at any price in any secondary market.
|
■ |
Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our and their respective affiliates (including trades in shares of companies included in the Basket Components), and any hedging and trading activities we,
MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value of, and return on, the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you.
|
■ |
There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agents, one of which is us and one of which is BofAS, as the determinations made by the calculation agents may be discretionary and could adversely affect any payment
on the notes.
|
■ |
Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If we become unable to meet our financial obligations as they become due, you may
lose some or all of your investment.
|
■ |
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain and, because of this uncertainty, there is a risk that the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes could differ materially and adversely from the treatment
described below in “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, as described further in product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1 under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments”. You should consult
your tax advisors as to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes and the potential alternative treatments.
|
■ |
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the notes, please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences — Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1 under
“Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” and the further discussion herein under “Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for
Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the notes in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the notes and receiving the payments that might be
due under the notes.

Liquidity. Each security is tested for liquidity on a semi-annual basis in March and September by calculation of its monthly median of daily trading volume as part of the FTSE® All-World
Index review. When calculating the median of daily trading volume of any security for a particular month, a minimum of 5 trading days in that month must exist, otherwise the month will be excluded from the test.

(i) |
A non-constituent which does not turnover at least 0.05% of their shares in issue (after the application of any free float weightings) based on their median daily trading volume per month in ten of the twelve months prior to a full market
review, will not be eligible for inclusion in the XIN0I.
|
(ii) |
An existing constituent which does not turnover at least 0.04% of its shares in issue (after the application of any free float weightings) based on its median daily trading volume per month for a least eight of the twelve months prior to a

New issues which do not have a twelve month trading record must have a minimum three month trading record when reviewed. They must turnover at least 0.05% of their free float adjusted shares based on their median daily trading volume each

under fast entry inclusion as part of the FTSE® All-World Index review.
|
• |
