Resolution Related Considerations
Below are important financial considerations for unsecured debt holders of Bank of America Corporation:
Bank of America Corporation is required to maintain minimum amounts of eligible long-term debt for the purpose of absorbing losses in a resolution proceeding under either the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Financial Reform Act"). Under Bank of America Corporation's single point of entry resolution strategy, and the single point of entry recapitalization strategy preferred by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under Title II of the Financial Reform Act, the value that would be distributed to holders of Bank of America Corporation's unsecured debt may not be sufficient to repay all or part of the principal amount and interest on such debt, and holders of such debt could receive no consideration at all under these resolution scenarios. Either of these resolution strategies could result in Bank of America Corporation unsecured debt holders being in a worse position and suffering greater losses than would have been the case under a different resolution strategy.
