INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Bank of America Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Bank of America”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed by Bank of America with the SEC on November 28, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1”) (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to 14 separate offers (each an “Offer,” and collectively, the “Offers”) by BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA Securities”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America, to purchase for cash up to $1.5 billion in aggregate Liquidation Preference (such amount, the “Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount”) of outstanding depositary shares representing fractional interests in shares of 14 separate series of preferred stock of Bank of America, par value $.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) (such depositary shares, collectively, the “Depositary Shares,” and such depositary shares representing a specific series of such Preferred Stock, a “series” of Depositary Shares), as listed on the cover hereof, subject, if applicable, to the Series Cap for a series of Depositary Shares that may be purchased. The Offers by BofA Securities were made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BofA Securities Offer to Purchase, dated November 10, 2022 (as amended and supplemented as set forth in Amendment No. 1, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule TO shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 is to amend and supplement the Schedule TO to provide the final results of the Offers. Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 2. Except as amended as specifically set forth below, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, and the other exhibits previously filed with the Schedule TO, remain unchanged and this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO and in the Offer to Purchase or the Letter of Transmittal. You should read this Amendment No. 2 together with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.
This Amendment No. 2 is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
