BofA Merrill Lynch is serving as sole bookrunner. The offering is being made under Bank of America's existing shelf registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Reg. No. 333-133852).
Each common equivalent security consists of one depositary share, representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of common equivalent
junior preferred stock, and a contingent warrant to purchase 0.0467 of a share of common stock for a purchase price of $0.01 per
share. Each depositary share entitles the holder, through the depository, to a proportional fractional interest in all rights and preferences
of the common equivalent junior preferred stock represented thereby, including conversion, dividend, liquidation and voting rights.
Currently no public market exists for the common equivalent securities, the depositary shares, or the contingent warrants. The common
equivalent securities will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BAC PR S."
A copy of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering, when available, may be obtained from
BofA Merrill Lynch, 4 World Financial Center, New York, NY 10080, Attn: Prospectus Department, or e-mail
Prospectus.Requests@ml.com.
