New Issue: Bank of America prices $8.47 million market-linked step-up notes on three indexes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., July 28 – Bank of America Corp. priced $8.47 million of market-linked step-up notes due July 27, 2018 linked to a basket of three approximately equally weighted indexes, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying components are the S&P 500 index, with a 33.34% weight, and the MSCI Emerging Markets index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, each with a 33.33% weight.

If the basket finishes at or above the step-up value – 121.4% of the initial level – the payout at maturity will be par plus the gain.

If the basket finishes below the step-up level but at or above the initial level, the payout will be par plus the step-up return of 21.4%.

The payout at maturity will be par if the basket finishes at or above its 90% threshold level. Investors will be exposed to any declines beyond 10%.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
