By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 25 - Bank of America Corp. plans to price autocallable market-linked step-up notes due February 2016 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus 9% if the index closes above the initial level on February 2014 or February 2015.

If the index finishes at or above the step-up value - 130% to 136% of the initial level - the payout at maturity will be par plus the index gain.

If the index finishes below the step-up level but at or above the initial level, the payout will be par plus the step-up return of 30% to 36%.

Investors will receive par if the index falls by up to 5% and will be exposed to any losses beyond 5%.

The exact deal terms will be set at pricing.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the agent.

The notes will price and settle in February.
