By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 5 - Bank of America Corp. priced $10.95 million of 0% market-linked step-up notes due Oct. 24, 2014 linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P 500 index with a 30% weight, the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 20% weight, the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a 20% weight, the S&P MidCap 400 index with a 15% weight and the Russell 2000 index with a 15% weight.

If the final basket level is greater than the step-up value, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the basket return. The step-up value is 121.25% of the initial basket level.

If the final basket level is greater than or equal to the initial level but less than or equal to the step-up value, the payout will be par plus 21.25%.
