New Issue: Bank of America prices $97.11 million autocallable enhanced step-up notes linked to S&P 500

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 6 - Bank of America Corp. priced $97.11 million of 0% autocallable enhanced market-linked step-up notes with buffer due Dec. 30, 2013 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called at par of $10 plus 10% if the index closes at or above the initial index level on Jan. 18, 2013.

If the notes are not called and the final index level is greater than the step-up value, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return. The step-up value is 132.5% of the initial index level.

If the final index level is less than or equal to the step-up value and greater than or equal to 90% of the initial index level, the payout will be par plus 32.5%.

Investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the index declines beyond 10%.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the underwriter.
