New Issue: Bank of America prices $18.32 million step-up notes linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 26 - Bank of America Corp. priced $18.32 million of 0% market-linked step-up notes due Jan. 2, 2018 linked to a basket holding equal weights of the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the MSCI Emerging Markets index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the basket's final level is greater than the step-up value, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the basket return. The step-up value is 118.2% of the initial level.

If the basket's final level is greater than or equal to the initial level but less than or equal to the step-up value, the payout will be par plus 18.2%.

If the basket's final level is greater than or equal to the threshold value, 85% of the initial level, but less than the initial level, the payout will be par.

If the basket's final level is less than the threshold value, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the basket declines below the threshold value.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the underwriter.
