Bank of America Corporation Floating Rate Linked Principal Protected Investments

Floating Rate Linked PPIs are our senior debt securities. As in the case of an ordinary debt security, we will make periodic payments of interest on these securities, subject to our creditworthiness. However, unlike an ordinary debt security, these interest payments will not be set at a conventional fixed rate. Instead, the amount of these payments will be based on the level of one or more interest rates, inflation indices, yields, or other measures of market or economic performance (the “Underlying Rate Index”). It is also possible that you will not be entitled to any interest payment for one or more interest periods during the term of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs. The Floating Rate Linked PPIs are fully principal protected if held until maturity, subject to our creditworthiness.

For each interest period during the term of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, you will receive interest payments based on the levels of the Underlying Rate Index on the applicable interest determination dates for that period. The interest periods, the interest determination dates for the Underlying Rate Index, and the interest payment dates will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement. See the section entitled “Determination of the Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Linked PPIs” for further discussion.

If you hold the Floating Rate Linked PPIs until maturity, in addition to any applicable final interest payment, you will receive your principal amount, subject to our creditworthiness. However, if you sell the Floating Rate Linked PPIs prior to maturity, you may find that the market value of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs is less than the principal amount of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs.

Floating Rate Linked PPIs typically are issued in minimum denominations of $1,000, and whole multiples of $1,000.

Floating Rate Linked PPIs are generally not listed on a stock exchange. Whether or not they are listed, there may be little or no secondary market for Floating Rate Linked PPIs.

We expect that one or more of our broker-dealer subsidiaries, including Banc of America Securities LLC and Banc of America Investment Services, Inc., will act as our selling agents in connection with each offering of Floating Rate Linked PPIs.

The Underlying Rate Index

During the term of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, we will pay interest for each applicable interest period based on the level of the Underlying Rate Index. The Underlying Rate Index may consist of one or more of the rates listed below. In each case, the level of an Underlying Rate Index is published periodically by the sponsor of that rate. For example, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is determined each London business day, Constant Maturity Swap (CMS) rates are determined each New York City business day, and Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury (CMT) rates are determined each U.S. government securities business day. On the other hand, the Year-Over-Year change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (YOY CPI) is determined on a monthly basis.

The applicable pricing supplement will set forth the specific Underlying Rate Index (or Underlying Rate Indices) for the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, and provide information as to the historical levels of the Underlying Rate Index (or Underlying Rate Indices). However, historical levels of any Underlying Rate Index are not indicative of the future performance of that Underlying Rate Index or the performance of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs. The applicable pricing supplement will also set forth the specific business day convention for the Floating Rate Linked PPIs.

Determination of the Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Linked PPIs

For each interest period during the term of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, you will receive interest payments based on the level of the Underlying Rate Index on the applicable interest determination date or interest determination dates for that period, subject to our creditworthiness. The interest rate for any interest period will be at least 0.00%. These interest payments will occur at regular intervals (e.g., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually), as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. In addition, some Floating Rate Linked PPIs may have one or more initial interest periods for which the interest rate is fixed, regardless of the level of the Underlying Rate Index.

The calculation agent for the Floating Rate Linked PPIs will determine the annualized interest rate for each interest period based on the level of the Underlying Rate Index on the applicable interest determination date or interest determination dates for that period, multiplied by a rate (the “Participation Rate”). In addition, for some Floating Rate Linked PPIs, a fixed spread (the “Spread”) may then be added to determine the annualized interest rate for each interest period. The Participation Rate and, if applicable, the Spread, will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

Depending on the terms of your Floating Rate Linked PPIs, and the performance of the Underlying Rate Index, you may not be entitled to any interest payment for one or more interest periods during their term.

As a simple example, if on the applicable interest determination date, the Underlying Rate Index is 2.00%, and the applicable Participation Rate is 150%, the annualized interest rate on the Floating Rate Linked PPIs for the applicable interest period would be 3.00%. If the Floating Rate Linked PPIs also have a Spread of “plus 1.00%,” the annualized interest rate for the applicable interest period would be 4.00%. Please see the sections below, “Examples of Interest Payments – Floater on CPI” and “Examples of Interest Payments – Floater on CMT,” for additional information. The interest determination dates, Participation Rate, Spread, if any, and fixed interest periods, if any, will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement.

Examples of Interest Payments – Floater on CPI

Below are four hypothetical examples of the calculation of the annualized interest rate payable in June for a Floating Rate Linked PPI linked to YOY CPI with the terms specified above. The interest determination date for the Underlying Rate Index would be in March of that year. These examples are for illustration only; the actual interest rate for any interest period would depend on the actual levels of YOY CPI for the relevant months, and the actual Participation Rate.

Example 1

In this example, suppose the hypothetical YOY CPI for March is 3.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for the interest period ending in June would be equal to:

= 110% x 3.00000%

= 3.30000%

Example 2

In this example, suppose the hypothetical YOY CPI for March is 4.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for the interest period ending in June would be equal to:

= 110% x 4.00000%

= 4.40000%

Example 3

In this example, suppose the hypothetical YOY CPI for March is 5.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for the interest period ending in June would be equal to:

= 110% x 5.00000%

= 5.50000%

Example 4

In this example, suppose the hypothetical YOY CPI for March is -1.00000%. This could occur in a deflationary environment. As a result, the annualized interest rate for the interest period ending in June would be equal to:

= 0.00000%

Examples of Interest Payments – Floater on CMT

Below are six hypothetical examples of the calculation of the annualized interest rate payable in June for a Floating Rate Linked PPI linked to 5CMT with the terms specified above. The interest determination date for the Underlying Rate Index would be two U.S. government securities business days prior to the interest reset date for that quarter. These examples are for illustration only; the actual interest rate for any interest period would depend on the actual rate of 5CMT on the applicable interest determination date, the actual Participation Rate, and the actual Spread.

Example 1

In this example, suppose the hypothetical 5CMT for the interest payment date in June is 7.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for that interest period would be equal to:

= (90% x 7.00000%) + 0.50000%

= 6.30000% + 0.50000%

= 6.80000%

Example 2

In this example, suppose the hypothetical 5CMT for the interest payment date in June is 5.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for that interest period would be equal to:

= (90% x 5.00000%) + 0.50000%

= 4.50000% + 0.50000%

= 5.00000%

Example 3

In this example, suppose the hypothetical 5CMT for the interest payment date in June is 4.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for that interest period would be equal to:

= (90% x 4.00000%) + 0.50000%

= 3.60000% + 0.50000%

= 4.10000%

Example 4

In this example, suppose the hypothetical 5CMT for the interest payment date in June is 2.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for that interest period would be equal to:

= (90% x 2.00000%) + 0.50000%

= 1.80000% + 0.50000%

= 2.30000%

Example 5

In this example, suppose the hypothetical 5CMT for the interest payment date in June is 0.00000%. As a result, the annualized interest rate for that interest period would be equal to:

= (90% x 0.00000%) + 0.50000%

= 0.00000% + 0.50000%

= 0.50000%

Example 6

In this example, suppose the hypothetical 5CMT for the interest payment date in June is -1.00000%. This could occur under volatile financial market conditions, in conjunction with extraordinarily low levels of interest rates. As a result, the annualized interest rate for that interest period would be equal to:

= 0.00000%

Summary of Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs to certain U.S. Holders (as defined in the prospectus referred to on page 2) that acquire the Floating Rate Linked PPIs upon their original issuance at the issue price (as defined below). This summary does not deal with persons in special tax situations. You should refer to the applicable pricing supplement, which will contain a more detailed U.S. federal income tax summary. The tax consequences of investing in the Floating Rate Linked PPIs are complex and you should consult your own tax advisor concerning the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs arising under the laws of any state, local, or foreign jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, we generally intend to treat the Floating Rate Linked PPIs as “variable rate debt instruments,” as that term is defined in the Treasury regulations. Under this characterization, U.S. Holders of Floating Rate Linked PPIs would report interest as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with their method of accounting for tax purposes. For this purpose, the amount which must be included in income is based on a single objective rate that is a fixed rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the Floating Rate Linked PPIs. Interest that is taxable for any interest accrual period is increased or decreased to take into account interest actually paid during that period. If a Floating Rate Linked PPI is sold or otherwise disposed of, a U.S. Holder generally would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition (except to the extent attributable to accrued but unpaid interest) and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Floating Rate Linked PPI. Assuming our characterization of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs is correct, this gain or loss would be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Floating Rate Linked PPIs had been held for more than one year at the time of its disposition.

Depending on the specific terms of any particular Floating Rate Linked PPI, a Floating Rate Linked PPI may be characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes under a different approach than that described above. For example, if the interest rate payable on the notes does not constitute a “single objective rate,” the Floating Rate Linked PPI may be governed by Treasury regulations applicable to contingent payment debt instruments (the “Contingent Payment Debt Regulations”). If the Floating Rate Linked PPIs were governed by the Contingent Payment Debt Regulations, the timing and character of income on the Floating Rate Linked PPIs may be significantly affected. Among other things, a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue interest income as original issue discount, subject to adjustments, at a “comparable yield.” In addition, any gain recognized with respect to the notes generally would be treated as ordinary income. The pricing supplement will state if we intend to treat the Floating Rate Linked PPIs as contingent payment debt instruments.

The pricing supplement will set forth additional information about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, including a discussion of the tax consequences of payments on the Floating Rate Linked PPIs and a sale, exchange, or retirement of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, possible alternative tax treatments of the Floating Rate Linked PPIs, backup withholding and information reporting considerations, if applicable, certain tax consequences applicable to Floating Rate Linked PPIs with a maturity date of not more than one year from the date of issue, if applicable, certain tax consequences applicable to Floating Rate Linked PPIs offered at a discount, and, if applicable, certain tax consequences applicable to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in the prospectus referred to on page 2).

Risk Factors

An investment in any Floating Rate Linked PPI entails significant risks. The following is a list of some of the principal risks associated with an investment in the Floating Rate Linked PPIs. You should refer to the applicable pricing supplement, which will contain a detailed discussion of the risks associated with the applicable Floating Rate Linked PPIs. Your decision to purchase the Floating Rate Linked PPIs should be made only after carefully considering the risks of an investment in them, including those described below, with your advisors in light of your particular circumstances. The Floating Rate Linked PPIs are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about their significant elements, or financial matters in general.

Floating Rate Linked PPIs are our senior unsecured debt securities. Receipt of any amounts payable, including the principal protection, described in this document and the applicable pricing supplement, are dependent upon Bank of America Corporation’s ability to repay its obligations on the applicable payment date, even if the level of the Underlying Rate Index increases after the issue date. Floating Rate Linked PPIs are not guaranteed by Bank of America, N.A. or any other bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
