By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 18 – Bank of America Corp. priced $5 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due Feb. 26, 2018 linked to the worse performing of two energy stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying companies are Schlumberger Ltd. and Exxon Mobil Corp.

The notes will be called at par plus 20% per year if each stock closes at or above the initial level on either call date.
