Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Summary
The Autocallable Leveraged Index Return Notes® with Absolute Return Barrier Linked to the Common Stock of Broadcom Inc., due July 28, 2028 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. Payments on the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BAC. The notes and the related guarantee are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of BofA Finance's other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law. The guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of BAC’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law, and senior to its subordinated obligations. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance, as issuer, and BAC, as guarantor. The notes will be automatically called at the Call Amount if the Observation Value of the Market Measure, which is the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (the “Underlying Stock”), is equal to or greater than the Call Value on the Call Observation Date. No further amounts will be payable with respect to the notes following an automatic call. If the notes are not called, at maturity, the notes provide you a leveraged return if the Ending Value of the Market Measure is greater than the Starting Value. If the Ending Value is equal to or less than the Starting Value but greater than or equal to the Threshold Value, you will receive a return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline in the Market Measure from the Starting Value to the Ending Value (e.g. if the negative return of the Market Measure is -5.00%, you will receive a positive return of +5.00%). If the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value, your notes are subject to 1-to-1 downside exposure to decreases in the Underlying Stock from the Starting Value, with up to 100.00% of the principal amount at risk. All payments on the notes will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend on the performance of the Underlying Stock, subject to our credit risk. See “Terms of the Notes” below.
The economic terms of the notes (including the Call Amount and the Call Premium) are based on BAC’s internal funding rate, which is the rate it would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements. BAC’s internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate it would pay when it issues conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. This difference in funding rate, as well as the underwriting discount and costs associated with hedging the notes, reduced the economic terms of the notes to you and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. Due to these factors, the public offering price you are paying to purchase the notes is greater than the initial estimated value of the notes.
On the cover page of this term sheet, we have provided the initial estimated value for the notes. This initial estimated value was determined based on our, BAC’s and our other affiliates’ pricing models, which take into consideration BAC’s internal funding rate and the market prices for the hedging arrangements related to the notes. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the notes, see “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-12.

Event of Default: |
Events of default are defined in the senior indenture. Subject to the below paragraph, if such event occurs and is continuing, the amount payable to a holder of the notes upon any acceleration permitted under the senior indenture will be equal to the Redemption Amount described under the caption “Determining Payment on the Notes—Redemption Amount Determination” determined as if the date of acceleration were the maturity date of the notes and as if the Final Calculation Day were the fifth Market Measure Business Day prior to the date of acceleration.
If, however, an event of default occurs on or prior to the final Call Observation Date, then the payment on the notes will be determined as described in “Determining Payment on the Notes—Automatic Call Provision” as if the next scheduled Call Observation Date were the fifth Market Measure Business Days prior to the date of acceleration, provided that the applicable Observation Value as of that date is greater than or equal to the Call Value. In such case, the calculation agent shall pro-rate the applicable Call Premium and Call Amount according to the period of time elapsed between the settlement date of the notes and the date of acceleration. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Observation Value of the Market Measure as of that date is less than the Call Value, the payment on the notes will be calculated as set forth in the prior paragraph. |

Investor Considerations
You may wish to consider an investment in the notes if: |
The notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if: |
||
■You are willing to receive a return on your investment capped at the Call Premium if the Observation Value is equal to or greater than the Call Value. ■You anticipate that the notes will be automatically called or that the Underlying Stock will either increase from the Starting Value to the Ending Value or decrease from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is at or above the Threshold Value. ■You are willing to risk a loss of principal and return if the notes are not automatically called and the Underlying Stock decreases from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is below the Threshold Value. ■You are willing to forgo the interest payments that are paid on conventional interest-bearing debt securities. ■You are willing to forgo dividends or other benefits of owning shares of the Underlying Stock. ■You are willing to accept a limited or no market for sales prior to maturity, and understand that the market prices for the notes, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our and BAC’s actual and perceived creditworthiness, BAC’s internal funding rate and fees and charges on the notes. ■You are willing to assume our credit risk, as issuer of the notes, and BAC’s credit risk, as guarantor of the notes, for all payments under the notes, including the Redemption Amount. |
■You want to hold your notes for the full term. ■You believe that the notes will not be automatically called, the Underlying Stock will decrease from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is below the Threshold Value or that it will not increase sufficiently over the term of the notes to provide you with your desired return. ■You seek principal repayment or preservation of capital. ■You seek interest payments or other current income on your investment. ■You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on shares of the Underlying Stock. ■You seek an investment for which there will be a liquid secondary market. ■You are unwilling or are unable to take market risk on the notes, to take our credit risk, as issuer of the notes, or to take BAC’s credit risk, as guarantor of the notes. |

We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

Hypothetical Payout Profile and Examples of Payments at Maturity
The below graph is based on hypothetical numbers and values. The graph below shows a payout profile at maturity, which would only apply if the notes are not called on the Call Observation Date.
Autocallable Leveraged Index Return Notes® with Absolute Return Barrier
|
This graph reflects the returns on the notes, based on the Participation Rate of 150.00% and the Threshold Value of 65% of the Starting Value. The green line reflects the returns on the notes, while the dotted gray line reflects the returns of a direct investment in the Underlying Stock, excluding dividends. This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. |
The following table and examples are for purposes of illustration only. They are based on hypothetical values and show hypothetical returns on the notes, assuming the notes are not called on the Call Observation Date. They illustrate the calculation of the Redemption Amount and total rate of return based on a hypothetical Starting Value of 100, a hypothetical Threshold Value of 65, the Participation Rate of 150.00% and a range of hypothetical Ending Values. The actual amount you receive and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Starting Value, Threshold Value and Ending Value, whether the notes are called on the Call Observation Date and whether you hold the notes to maturity. The following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes.
For recent actual prices of the Market Measure, see “The Underlying Stock” section below. The Observation Value and the Ending Value will not include any income generated by dividends paid on the Underlying Stock, which you would otherwise be entitled to receive if you invested in the Underlying Stock. In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk.

Redemption Amount Calculation Examples
Example 1 |
||
The Ending Value is 60.00, or 60.00% of the Starting Value: |
||
Starting Value:100.00 |
||
Threshold Value:65.00 |
||
Ending Value:60.00 |
||
|
= $6.00 Redemption Amount per unit
|
|
Example 2 |
||
The Ending Value is 90.00, or 90.00% of the Starting Value: |
||
Starting Value:100.00 |
||
Threshold Value:65.00 |
||
Ending Value:90.00 |
||
|
||
Example 3 |
||
The Ending Value is 110.00, or 110.00% of the Starting Value: |
||
Starting Value:100.00 |
||
Ending Value:110.00 |
||
|
= $11.50 Redemption Amount per unit |
|
= $11.00 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 Underlying Stock.

Risk Factors
There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page PS-4 of the product supplement, page S-7 of the Series A MTN prospectus supplement, and page 7 of the prospectus identified above. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.
Structure-related Risks
■There is no fixed principal repayment amount on the notes at maturity. If the notes are not automatically called and the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value, you will lose up to 100% of the principal amount of your notes.
■Your potential for a positive return based on the depreciation of the Underlying Stock is limited. The benefit of the absolute value return feature applies only if the notes are not called and the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value but greater than or equal to the Threshold Value. Because the Threshold Value is 65.00% of the Starting Value, any positive return due to the depreciation of the Underlying Stock will be limited to 35.00%. Any decline in the Ending Value from the Starting Value by more than 35.00% will result in a loss, rather than a positive return, on the notes.
■Payments on the notes will not reflect changes in the value of the Underlying Stock other than on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day. As a result, even if the price of the Underlying Stock increases during the term of the notes, you will not receive the Call Amount if the Observation Value on the Call Observation Date is less than the Call Value. Similarly, you will receive a Redemption Amount that is less than the principal amount if the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value on the Final Calculation Day, even if the price of the Underlying Stock was always greater than the Threshold Value prior to such Final Calculation Day.
■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.
■If the notes are called, your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Call Premium. If, on the Call Observation Date, the Observation Value is greater than or equal to the Call Value, we will automatically call the notes. If the notes are automatically called, your return will be limited to the Call Premium, regardless of the extent of the increase in the value of the Underlying Stock.
■If the notes are called, you will be subject to reinvestment risk.
■Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and the credit risk of BAC, and actual or perceived changes in our or BAC’s creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If we and BAC become insolvent or are unable to pay our respective obligations, you may lose your entire investment.
■Your investment return may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Underlying Stock.
■We are a finance subsidiary and, as such, will have limited assets and operations.
■BAC’s obligations under its guarantee of the notes will be structurally subordinated to liabilities of its subsidiaries.
■The notes issued by us will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration with other indebtedness of BofA Finance or BAC; events of bankruptcy or insolvency or resolution proceedings relating to BAC and covenant breach by BAC will not constitute an event of default with respect to the notes.
Valuation- and Market-related Risks
■The initial estimated value of the notes considers certain assumptions and variables and relies in part on certain forecasts about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. The initial estimated value of the notes is an estimate only, determined as of the pricing date by reference to our and our affiliates’ pricing models. These pricing models consider certain assumptions and variables, including our credit spreads, and those of BAC, BAC’s internal funding rate on the pricing date, mid-market terms on hedging transactions, expectations on interest rates and volatility, price-sensitivity analysis, and the expected term of the notes. These pricing models rely in part on certain forecasts about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.
■The public offering price you are paying for the notes exceeds the initial estimated value. If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for them and lower than the initial estimated value. This is due to, among other things, changes in the price of the Underlying Stock, changes in BAC’s internal funding rate, and the inclusion in the public offering price of the underwriting discount and costs associated with hedging the notes, all as further described in “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-12. These factors, together with various credit, market and economic factors over the term of the notes, are expected to reduce the price at which you may be able to sell the notes in any secondary market and will affect the value of the notes in complex and unpredictable ways.
■The initial estimated value does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we, BAC, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our other affiliates would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your notes at any time after issuance will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including the performance of the Underlying Stock, our and BAC’s creditworthiness and changes in market conditions.
Autocallable Leveraged Index Return Notes® with Absolute Return Barrier |
|
■A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, BAC, MLPF&S or BofAS 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.
Conflict-related Risks
■BAC and its affiliates’ hedging and trading activities (including trades in the Underlying Stock) and any hedging and trading activities BAC or its affiliates engage in that are not for your account or on your behalf, may affect the market value and return of the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you.
■There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.
Market Measure-related Risks
■You will have no rights of a holder of the Underlying Stock and you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Underlying Stock or dividends or other distributions by the Underlying Company.
■The Underlying Company will have no obligations relating to the notes, and none of us, BAC, MLPF&S or BofAS will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to the Underlying Company in connection with this offering.
■While BAC and our other affiliates may from time to time own securities of the Underlying Company, we, BAC and our other affiliates do not control the Underlying Company, and have not verified any disclosure made by any other company.
■Payment on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect the Underlying Stock. See “Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments Relating to Underlying Stocks” beginning on PS-41 of product supplement EQUITY MLI-1.
Tax-related Risks
■The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the notes. See “Summary Tax Consequences” below and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page PS-48 of the accompanying product supplement.

The Underlying Stock
We have derived the following information from publicly available documents. We have not independently verified the accuracy or
completeness of the following information.

Company. None of us, BAC, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates has participated or will participate in the preparation of the Underlying Company’s publicly available documents. None of us, BAC, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates has made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the Underlying Company in connection with the offering of the notes. None of us, BAC, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates makes any representation that the publicly available documents or any other publicly available information regarding the Underlying Company are accurate or complete. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of this term sheet, including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of these publicly
available documents that would affect the trading price of the Underlying Stock, have been or will be publicly disclosed. Subsequent
disclosure of any events or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning the Underlying Company could
affect the value of the Underlying Stock and therefore could affect your return on the notes. The selection of the Underlying Stock is
not a recommendation to buy or sell the Underlying Stock.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest
Under our distribution agreement with BofAS, BofAS will purchase the notes from us as principal at the public offering price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount.
MLPF&S will purchase the notes from BofAS for resale, and it will receive a discount in connection with the sale of the notes in an amount up to the full amount of underwriting discount set forth on the cover of this term sheet.
We will pay a fee to LFT Securities, LLC for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering, which will reduce the economic terms of the notes to you. An affiliate of BofAS has an ownership interest in LFT Securities, LLC.
MLPF&S and BofAS, each a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and will participate as selling agent, in the case of BofAS, and as dealer, in the case of MLPF&S, in the distribution of the notes. Accordingly, offerings of the notes will conform to the requirements of Rule 5121 applicable to FINRA members. Neither BofAS nor MLPF&S may make sales in this offering to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the account holder.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than one business day following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business day prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 10,000 units. If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S and/or one of its affiliates acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.
MLPF&S and BofAS may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, and these will include MLPF&S’s and BofAS’s trading commissions and mark-ups or mark-downs. MLPF&S and BofAS may act as principal or agent in these market-making transactions; however, neither is obligated to engage in any such transactions. At their discretion, for a short, undetermined initial period after the issuance of the notes, MLPF&S and BofAS may offer to buy the notes in the secondary market at a price that may exceed the initial estimated value of the notes. Any price offered by MLPF&S or BofAS for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including the performance of the Underlying Stock and the remaining term of the notes. However, neither we nor any of our affiliates is obligated to purchase your notes at any price, or at any time, and we cannot assure you that we or any of our affiliates will purchase your notes at a price that equals or exceeds the initial estimated value of the notes.
The value of the notes shown on your account statement will be based on BofAS’s estimate of the value of the notes if BofAS or another of our affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it is not obligated to do. That estimate will be based upon the price that BofAS may pay for the notes in light of then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, as mentioned above, and will include transaction costs. At certain times, this price may be higher than or lower than the initial estimated value of the notes.

Structuring the Notes
The notes are our debt securities, the return on which is linked to the performance of the Underlying Stock. The related guarantees are BAC’s obligations. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our and BAC’s respective market-linked notes, the economic terms of the notes reflect our and BAC’s actual or perceived creditworthiness at the time of pricing. In addition, because market-linked notes result in increased operational, funding and liability management costs to us and BAC, BAC typically borrows the funds under these types of notes at a rate that is more favorable to BAC than the rate that it might pay for a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security. This rate, which we refer to in this term sheet as BAC’s internal funding rate, is typically lower than the rate BAC would pay when it issues conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. This generally relatively lower internal funding rate, which is reflected in the economic terms of the notes, along with the fees and charges associated with market-linked notes, resulted in the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date being less than their public offering price.
Payments on the notes, including the amount you receive at maturity or upon an automatic call, will be calculated based on the performance of the Underlying Stock and the $10 per unit principal amount. In order to meet these payment obligations, at the time we issue the notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call options, put options or other derivatives) with BofAS or one of our other affiliates. The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined by seeking bids from market participants, including BofAS and its affiliates, and take into account a number of factors, including our and BAC’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Underlying Stock, the tenor of the notes and the tenor of the hedging arrangements. The economic terms of the notes and their initial estimated value depend in part on the terms of these hedging arrangements. These hedging arrangements are expected to result in a profit to those engaging in the hedging activity, which could be more or less than initially expected, but could also result in a loss.

Validity of the Notes

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the laws of the State of New York as in effect on the date hereof. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and due authentication of the Master Note and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated October 1, 2025 which has been filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2025.

Summary Tax Consequences
You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the following:
■There is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the notes.
■You agree with us (in the absence of an administrative determination, or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize and treat the notes for all tax purposes as a callable single financial contract with respect to the Underlying Stock.
■Under this characterization and tax treatment of the notes, a U.S. Holder (as defined on page 76 of the prospectus) generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon maturity or upon a sale, exchange or redemption of the notes prior to maturity. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the notes for more than one year.
■No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any court will agree with this characterization and tax treatment.
■Under current IRS guidance, withholding on “dividend equivalent” payments (as discussed in the product supplement), if any, will not apply to notes that are issued as of the date of this term sheet unless such notes are “delta-one” instruments.
You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. You should review carefully the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page PS-48 of the accompanying product supplement.
