CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bank of America Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and BAC Canada Finance Company (together, the “Offerors”), today announced the purchase prices and certain results to date relating to their previously announced offers to purchase for cash (the “Offers”) 13 series of their respective senior notes that have maturities in 2014 and are listed in the tables below (the “Notes”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Offers, the purchase prices for each series of Notes with a fixed rate of interest (“Fixed Rate Notes”) were determined as of Wednesday, July 31, 2013, at 2:00 p.m., London time (for Notes denominated in euros) or 2:00 p.m., New York City time (for Notes denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars). The purchase prices for the Fixed Rate Notes, which are listed in the tables below, were determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread for each series, plus the yield of the applicable reference benchmark for such series (based on the bid-side price of such reference benchmark, as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg page). The purchase prices for each series of Notes with a floating rate of interest, which are also listed in the tables below, were announced at the commencement of the Offers.

Any and All Offer

Bank of America had offered, upon the terms and conditions described below (the “Any and All Offer”), to purchase any and all of the two series of Notes listed in the first table below (the “Any and All Notes”):

^{_______________}

1 Per EUR1,000.

The Any and All Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 31, 2013. As of the expiration, tenders of EUR 963.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes, due February 5, 2014 and EUR 614.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due September 26, 2014 were received, and all such tenders were accepted for purchase. The aggregate purchase price for the Any and All Notes that were tendered is US$2.137 billion, or its equivalent in euros. Payment for the tendered Any and All Notes is expected to occur on August 5, 2013.

Maximum Offer

The offer to purchase the 11 series of Notes listed in the table below (the “Maximum Offer Notes”) remains open, subject to the terms and condition described below (the “Maximum Offer”). In the Maximum Offer, the Offerors are offering to purchase the Maximum Offer Notes for an aggregate purchase price of up to US$2.863 billion, or its equivalent in other currencies in which the Maximum Offer Notes are denominated (the “Maximum Payment Amount”). The Maximum Payment Amount was determined based on the difference between US$5.0 billion and the aggregate purchase price for the Any and All Notes that were tendered and accepted for purchase.

The Maximum Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Maximum Offer Expiration Date”). Payment for Maximum Offer Notes that are accepted for purchase will be made promptly following the Maximum Offer Expiration Date and is expected to occur on August 19, 2013.

^{_______________}

1 Per USD1,000, EUR1,000 or CAD1,000, as applicable.

In no event will the Offerors be obligated to purchase Maximum Offer Notes with an aggregate purchase price exceeding the Maximum Payment Amount. Accordingly, if the aggregate purchase price payable for validly tendered Maximum Offer Notes exceeds the Maximum Payment Amount, tenders of Maximum Offer Notes will be accepted for purchase based on the acceptance priority levels specified in the second table above (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”) and may be subject to proration.

The Offerors will accept validly tendered Maximum Offer Notes in accordance with their respective Acceptance Priority Levels (in numerical priority order, with the highest priority being designated 1 and the lowest priority being designated 11). All validly tendered Maximum Offer Notes of a series having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted for purchase, subject to the Maximum Payment Amount, before any validly tendered Maximum Offer Notes of a series having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted for purchase. If there are sufficient remaining funds to purchase some, but not all, of a particular series of Maximum Offer Notes based on the applicable Acceptance Priority Level, then tenders of that particular series will be accepted on a pro rata basis according to the aggregate principal amount of that series that was validly tendered, and no tenders of Maximum Offer Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted.

Holders of Maximum Offer Notes that are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their tendered Notes from the last interest payment date applicable to such Notes to, but not including, August 19, 2013. The determination of whether the aggregate purchase price for validly tendered Maximum Offer Notes would exceed the Maximum Payment Amount will be made without consideration of the concurrent payment of accrued interest on all Maximum Offer Notes that are accepted for purchase.

Maximum Offer Notes may be withdrawn at any time until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2013, unless extended.

General

The purchase price and accrued interest for all Notes purchased in the Offers will be payable in the same currency in which such Notes are denominated.

The complete terms and conditions of the Offers are set forth in the offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and related letters of transmittals, each dated July 18, 2013 (together with the Offer to Purchase and as they each may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer Documents”), which are being distributed to holders of the Notes.
