By Andrea Heisinger

New York, May 10 -Bank of America Corp. sold $2.3 billion notes (A2/A/A+) in two parts on Tuesday after a reopening of floating-rate notes was added, a market source said.

Those floaters due Jan. 30, 2014 were originally sold at a coupon of three-month Libor plus 142 basis points and reopened to add $300 million. The add-on priced at 101.356 to yield three-month Libor plus 92 bps.

Total issuance for the notes is $1.8 billion, including $1.5 billion sold on Jan. 26 at par.

There was also a $2 billion tranche of new 5% 10-year notes priced at 99.565 to yield 5.056% with a spread of 185 bps over Treasuries.

Both notes are non-callable.
