New Issue: Bank of America prices $1.5 million autocallable notes on Dow, Oracle

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., April 4 - Bank of America Corp. priced $1.5 million of autocallable notes due April 11, 2016 linked to the common stocks of Dow Chemical Co. and Oracle Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each stock closes at or above 70% of its initial price on a quarterly observation date, investors will receive a conditional coupon payment of $0.37 for each $10.00 note. Otherwise, no contingent coupon payment will be made for that period.

If the closing share price of each stock is greater than the initial share price on any quarterly determination date, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the conditional coupon payment.

If the notes are not called and the final share price of each stock is at or above the threshold value - 80% of the initial price - the payout at maturity will be par plus the conditional coupon payment. If the final share price of either stock is less than the threshold value, investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline of the worst-performing stock beyond 20%.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the underwriter.
