Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Industry Stocks, due November  24 , 2017
Summary
The Accelerated Return Notes ®  Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Industry Stocks, due November 24, 2017 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BAC. The notes provide you a leveraged return, subject to a cap, if the Ending Value of the Market Measure, which is the basket of three defense industry stocks described below (the “Basket”), is greater than its Starting Value. If the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value, you will lose all or a portion of the principal amount of your notes. Payments on the notes, including the amount you receive at maturity, will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend on the performance of the Basket, subject to our credit risk. See “Terms of the Notes” below.
The Basket is comprised of the common stocks of General Dynamics Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation and Raytheon Company (each, a “Basket Stock”).   Each Basket Stock was given an approximately equal weight.
The economic terms of the notes (including the Capped Value) are based on our internal funding rate, which is the rate we would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements. Our internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities.  This difference in funding rate, as well as the underwriting discount and the hedging related charge described below, 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 pay to purchase the notes will be 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 and our affiliates’ pricing models, which take into consideration our 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- 15 .

Hypothetical Payout Profile and 
Examples of Payments at Maturity
Accelerated Return Notes ®
This graph reflects the returns on the notes, based on the Participation Rate of 300% and the Capped Value of $11.385. The green line reflects the returns on the notes, while the dotted gray line reflects the returns of a direct investment in the Basket Stocks, 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. They illustrate the calculation of the Redemption Amount and total rate of return based on the Starting Value of 100, the Participation Rate of 300%,  the Capped Value of $11.38 5  per unit and a range of hypothetical Ending Values.  The actual amount you receive and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Ending Value, and whether you hold the notes to maturity.  The following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes.
Fo r   hypothet ical  historical values of the Basket, see “The Basket” section below. For recent actual prices of the Basket Stocks, see “The Basket Stocks” section below. The Ending Value will not include any income generated by dividends paid on the Basket Stocks, which you would otherwise be entitled to receive if you invested in those stocks directly. In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer credit risk.

Redemption Amount Calculation Examples
Example 1
The Ending Value is 80.00, or 80.00% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value:    100.00
Ending Value:    80.00
= $8.0 0 0  Redemption Amount per unit
Example 2
The Ending Value is 102.00, or 102.00% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value:          100.00
Ending Value:            102.00
= $10.6 0 0  Redemption Amount per unit
Example 3
The Ending Value is 130.00, or 130.00% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value:          100.00
Ending Value:            130.00
= $19.00, however, because the Redemption Amount for the notes cannot exceed the Capped Value, the Redemption Amount will be $ 11.385  per unit

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-6 of product supplement STOCK ARN-1, page S-5 of the Series L MTN prospectus supplement, and page 9 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.
   
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.
   
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.
   
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 insolvent or are unable to pay our obligations, you may lose your entire investment.
   
Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Basket Stocks.
   
The initial estimated value of the notes is an estimate only, determined as of a particular point in time by reference to our and our affiliates’ pricing models. These pricing models consider certain assumptions and variables, including our credit spreads, our  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 p rice you pay for the notes  exceed s  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  value of the Basket our internal funding rate , and the inclusion in the public offering price of the underwriting discount and the hedging related charge, all as further described in “Structuring the Notes” on page TS- 15 . 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, MLPF&S or any of our 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  Basket , our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions.
   
A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. Neither we nor MLPF&S 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 activities as a full service financial institution, including our commercial and investment banking activities, our hedging and trading activities (including trades in shares of the Basket Stocks), and any hedging and trading activities we engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value and return of the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you. 
   
The Underlying Companies will have no obligations relating to the notes, and neither we nor MLPF&S will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to any Underlying Company in connection with this offering.
   
Changes in the price of one of the Basket Stocks may be offset by changes in the prices of the other Basket Stocks.
   
You will have no rights of a holder of the Basket Stocks, and you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Basket Stocks or dividends or other distributions by the Underlying Companies. 
   
While we or our affiliates may from time to time own securities of the Underlying Companies, we do not control any Underlying Company, and have not verified any disclosures made by any Underlying Company. 
   
The payment on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect a Basket Stock.   See “Description of ARNs—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” beginning on page PS-19 of product supplement STOCK ARN-1.
   
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.
   
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-29 of product supplement STOCK ARN-1.
Additional Risk Factors
The Basket Stocks are concentrated in one  industry .  All of the Basket Stocks are issued by companies in the  defense industry .  Although an investment in the notes will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the Basket Stocks, the return on an investment in the  notes will be subject to certain risks associated with a direct equity investment in companies in the  defense industry , including those discussed below.  Accordingly, by investing in the notes, you will not benefit from the diversification which could result from an investment linked to companies that operate in multiple  industries In addition, because the Basket Stocks are concentrated in one  industry their prices may increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes, and they may perform similarly over the term of the notes. You will be subject to risks relating to the relationship among the Basket Stocks.
Adverse conditions in the  defense industry  may reduce your return on the notes .  All of the Basket Stocks are issued by companies whose primary lines of business are directly associated with the  defense industry The profitability of these companies is largely dependent on, among other things,  U.S. government contracts, military  demand, government regulation,  material  costs and availability,  continued innovation and the success of various research endeavors funding , t alent attraction and retention , and industry competition. In additio n, adverse economic, business, market, environmental, labor or tax developments affecting the U.S., the areas of the world in which these companies operate and/or the  defense industry  could affect the  prices of the Basket Stock.  Any of these factors may have an adverse effect on the value of the notes.

Each Component Ratio equals the Initial Component Weight of the relevant Basket  Stock  (as a percentage) multiplied by 100, and then divided by the C losing Market Price  of that Basket  Stock  on  the pricing date  and rounded to eight decimal places.
The  calculation agent will calculate the  Ending V alue of the Basket   by summing the products of the Closing Market Price for each Basket  Stock  (multiplied by its Price Multiplier) on the calculation day and the Component Ratio applicable to that Basket  Stock . The Price Multiplier for each Basket  Stock  will initially be 1, and is subject to adjustment as described in the product supplement.   If a Market Disruption Event occurs as to any Basket  Stock  on the scheduled calculation day, the Closing Market Price of that Basket  Stock  will be determined as more fully described   in “Description of ARNs—Basket Market Measures—Ending Value of the Basket" beginning on page PS-26 of product supplement STOCK ARN-1.

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

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation that the publicly available documents or any other publicly available information regarding the Underlying Companies 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 Basket  Stock s, have been or will be publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any events or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning  an  Underlying Compan y  could affect the  price  of  its  Basket  Stock  and therefore could affect your return on the notes.  The selection of the Basket  Stock s is not a recommendation to buy or sell shares of the Basket  Stock s.
The tables set forth below show the quarterly high and low Closing Market Prices of the shares of the Basket  Stocks  on their primary exchange from   the first quarter of 2008 through  the pricing date .  We obtained this historical data from Bloomberg L.P.  We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the informat ion obtained from Bloomberg L.P.   These historical trading prices may have been adjusted to reflect certain corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse stock splits.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest
Under our distribution agreement with MLPF&S, MLPF&S 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, a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and will participate as selling agent in the distribution of the notes.   Accordingly, offerings of the notes will conform to the requirements of Rule 5121 applicable to FINRA members.   MLPF&S may not 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 three business days 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 three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.   Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than three business days 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 100 units.   If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account .
MLPF&S  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 trading commissions and mark-ups.   MLPF&S may act as principal or agent in these market-making transactions; however ,  it is not obligated to engage in any such transactions.  At  MLPF&S’s discretion ,  for a short undetermined   initial period after the issuance of the notes, MLPF&S  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 for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including the performance of the  Basket  and the remaining term of the notes.  However, neither we nor any of our   affiliates is obligated to purc hase 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   MLPF&S’s   estimate of the value of the notes if MLPF&S or another of our affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it is not obligated t o do.  That estimate will be based upon the price that MLPF&S 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 b e 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 Basket.  As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our market-linked notes, the economic terms of the notes reflect our 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, we typically borrow the funds under these notes at a rate that is more favorable to us than the rate that we might pay for a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security.  This   rate, which we refer to in this term sheet as our internal funding rate, is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities.  This ge nerally 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 .
At maturity, we are required to pay the Redemption Amount to holders of the notes, which will be calculated based on the  performance  of the Basket 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 MLPF&S or one of its affiliates.  The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined by seeking bids from market participants,  including   MLPF&S and its affiliates , and take into account a number of factors, including our creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Basket  Stocks , the tenor of the note s  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.
MLPF&S has advised us that the hedging arrangements will include a hedging related charge of approximately $0.075 per unit, reflecting an estimated profit to be credited to MLPF&S from these transactions.  Since hedging entails risk and may be influenced by unpredictable market forces, additional profits and losses from these hedging arrangements may be realized by MLPF&S or any third party hedge providers.
For further information, see “Risk Factors—General Risks Relating to ARNs” beginning on page PS-6 and “Use of Proceeds” on page PS-15 of product supplement STOCK ARN-1.
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 single financial contract with respect to the  Basket.
   
Under this characterization and tax treatment of the notes, a U.S. Holder (as defined beginning  on page 99 of the prospectus ) generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon maturity or upon a sale or exchange 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  IRS  or any court will agree with this characterization and tax treatment.
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-29 of product supplement STOCK ARN-1.

Validity of the Notes
In the opinion of McGuireWoods LLP, as counsel to BAC, when the trustee has made an appropriate entry on Schedule 1 to the Master Registered Global Senior Note, dated May 1, 2015 (the “Master Note”) identifying the notes offered hereby as supplemental obligations thereunder in accordance with the instructions of BAC and the notes have been delivered against payment therefor as contemplated in this Note Prospectus, all in accordance with the provisions of the indenture governing the notes, such notes will be legal, valid and binding obligations of BAC, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including laws related to preferences, fraudulent transfers and equitable subordination), reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity.  This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing).  In addition, this opinion is subject to the assumption that the trustee’s certificate of authentication of the Master Note has been manually signed by one of the trustee’s authorized officers and to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture governing the notes, the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture governing the notes with respect to the trustee, the legal capacity of natural persons, the genuineness of signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to McGuireWoods LLP as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to McGuireWoods LLP as copies thereof, the authenticity of the originals of such copies and certain factual matters, all as stated in the letter of McGuireWoods LLP dated February 27, 2015, which has been filed as an exhibit to BAC’s Registration Statement relating to the notes filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2015.

Market-Linked Investments Classification
MLPF&S classifies certain market-linked investments (the “Market-Linked Investments”) into categories, each with different investment characteristics. The following description is meant solely for informational purposes and is not intended to represent any particular Enhanced Return Market-Linked Investment or guarantee any performance.
Enhanced Return Market-Linked Investments are short- to medium-term investments that offer you a way to enhance exposure to a particular market view without taking on a similarly enhanced level of market downside risk. They can be especially effective in a flat to moderately positive market (or, in the case of bearish investments, a flat to moderately negative market). In exchange for the potential to receive better-than market returns on the linked asset, you must generally accept market downside risk and capped upside potential.  As these investments are not market downside protected, and do not assure full repayment of principal at maturity, you need to be prepared for the possibility that you may lose all or part of your investment.
