New York, July 1 - Bank of America Corp. priced $22.72 million of 0% market-linked step up notes due June 24, 2016 tied to the Russell 2000 Index index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus an annualized call premium of 9% if the index is at or greater than the initial level on either of two annual observation dates.
