Madison, Wis., Feb. 6 - Bank of America Corp. priced $35 million of 8% floored participation notes due Feb. 10, 2015 linked to the common stock of Allergan, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Interest is payable monthly.
The principal amount of each note is $115.01, the closing share price of Allergan stock on the pricing date.
The payout at maturity will be either a number of shares of Allergan stock equal to the redemption amount divided by the final share price or the cash equivalent of the redemption amount.
If the final share price is greater than the upside participation threshold, 114.40% of the initial share price, the redemption amount will be par plus 65% times the difference of the final share price minus the upside participation threshold.
If the final share price is less than or equal to the upside participation threshold but greater than or equal to the principal return threshold, 111.5% of the initial price, the redemption amount will be par.
Otherwise, the redemption amount will be the downside exchange ratio times the final price, subject to a minimum redemption amount of $82.52 per note, or 71.75% of par. The downside exchange ratio is equal to the initial price divided by the principal return threshold and is about 0.8968.
Investors will receive less than par at maturity if the stock return is less than 11.5%.
BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
