No EEA or UK PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been prepared as the Notes are not available to retail in the EEA or the UK.

 

Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

 

The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, the preliminary prospectus supplement and other documents incorporated by reference therein that the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it from BofA Securities, Inc., NC1-004-03-43, 200 North College Street, 3rd floor, Charlotte NC 28255-0001, Attention: Prospectus Department, by telephone at +1-800-294-1322 or by emailing dg.prospectus_requests@bofa.com; HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., 452 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10018, by telephone at +1-866-811-8049; Mizuho Securities USA LLC, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020, by telephone at +1 866-271-7403; or Santander US Capital Markets LLC by telephone at +1-855-403-3636.

 

It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment on or about the Settlement Date, which will be the third business day following the Trade Date of the notes (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes prior to the delivery of the notes hereunder may be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.
