Bank of America plans market-linked step-up autocallables on S&P 500

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 3 – Bank of America Corp. plans to price 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due March 2018 tied to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus an annualized call premium of 6.5% to 7.5% if the index closes at or above the initial level on either observation date.

If the index finishes above the step-up level – 125% of the initial value – the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return.

If the index gains by up to the step-up level, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment of 25%.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the underwriter.

The notes will price in March and settle in April.
