New Issue: Bank of America prices $21.49 million relative value Stars linked to funds

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 25 - Bank of America Corp. priced $21.49 million of 0% relative value Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities due March 3, 2014 linked to the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust versus the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus a premium of 12.2% per year if the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust meets or exceeds the performance of the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund on Aug. 23, 2013, Nov. 22, 2013 or Feb. 24, 2014.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the return of the equity trust minus the return of the Treasury fund. Because the last call observation date is also the final valuation date, if the notes are not called, the return of the equity trust will be less than the return of the Treasury fund and investors will lose principal at maturity.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
