Bank of America plans market-linked step-up notes on index basket

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 7 - Bank of America Corp. plans to price market-linked step-up notes due January 2016 tied to a basket of two indexes, according to an FWP with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 70% weight and the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a 30% weight.

If the basket finishes at or above the step-up value - 112% to 118% of the initial level - the payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return.

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 12% to 18%.

Investors will be fully exposed to losses.

The exact deal terms will be set at pricing.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.

The notes will price and settle in January.
