BAC Bank of America Corporation

Bank of America Corporation (the “Corporation”) today announced the increase of the maximum principal amounts of each series of new fixed/floating rate senior notes (the “New Notes”) issuable in its previously announced private offers (the “Exchange Offers”) for Eligible Holders (as defined below) of certain of the Corporation’s outstanding debt securities (collectively, the “Existing Notes”) to exchange Existing Notes for New Notes in two categories of Exchange Offers, on the terms and conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum (the “Offering Memorandum”) dated December 4, 2017, and the accompanying letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”).

The Corporation has increased the maximum principal amount of New Notes issuable in (i) all the Exchange Offers to $12,000,000,000, (ii) the first category of Exchange Offers to $6,000,000,000, and (iii) the second category of Exchange Offers to $6,000,000,000. Because the amount of New Notes issuable in exchange for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Existing Notes at or prior to 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 15, 2017 (the “Early Participation Date”) in each category of Exchange Offers would exceed the maximum New Notes amounts, as increased, acceptance of the Existing Notes for exchange in each category of Exchange Offers will be subject to proration as described in the Offering Memorandum. In addition, the Corporation does not expect to accept for exchange the series of Existing Notes that follow the applicable prorated series of Existing Notes in either category of Exchange Offers.

The Corporation has exercised the Early Settlement Election (as described in the Offering Memorandum) and accepted for exchange Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date as set forth in the tables below. Any validly tendered Existing Notes not accepted for exchange due to proration will be returned promptly to Eligible Holders.

The tables below set forth the aggregate principal amount of each series of Existing Notes accepted by the Corporation in the first category of Exchange Offers and the second category of Exchange Offers, respectively, as well as the proration factor applicable to each series of Existing Notes. Proration factors for the prorated series included in the tables below are rounded to the nearest whole number.

The “Early Settlement Date” for all Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date and accepted for exchange is today, December 20, 2017. On the Early Settlement Date, the Corporation will issue $6,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Fixed/Floating Rate Senior Notes, due December 2023 in exchange for Existing Notes accepted in the first category of Exchange Offers and $6,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Fixed/Floating Rate Senior Notes, due December 2028 in exchange for Existing Notes accepted in the second category of Exchange Offers. Eligible Holders of Existing Notes accepted for exchange also will receive (i) a cash payment for any accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of Existing Notes to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date, and (ii) a cash payment for any amounts due in lieu of fractional amounts of the applicable series of New Notes.

The Exchange Offers are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”). Because both categories of Exchange Offers were over-subscribed, the Corporation does not expect to accept for exchange any Existing Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date, in which case there will be no final settlement date for the Exchange Offers. Any Existing Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date and not accepted for exchange will be returned promptly to Eligible Holders.

The Exchange Offers are made, and copies of the documents relating to the Exchange Offers are made available, only to a holder of Existing Notes who has certified in an eligibility letter (each, an “Eligible Holder”) certain matters to the Corporation, including its status as (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) a person outside the United States who is (a) not a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, (b) not acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. person and (c) a “non-U.S. qualified offeree” as defined in the Offering Memorandum. Holders of Existing Notes who desire access to the electronic eligibility certification should contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent for the Exchange Offers, at 866.342.4881 (U.S. toll-free), 212.269.5550 (collect), or at bac@dfking.com. Holders who wish to receive the Offering Memorandum and the Letter of Transmittal can certify eligibility at http://www.dfking.com/bac.

When issued, the New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Corporation has entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the New Notes.
