Industry Developments


FIA Card Services, National Association (“FIA”) issues credit cards on MasterCard’s and Visa’s networks.  MasterCard and Visa are facingsubject to settlement obligations relating to certain litigations and continue to be subject to significant litigationongoing litigations, including class actions, and increased competition.  In 2003,These settlements and litigations are based on, among other things, claimed violations of United States federal antitrust laws, claims that currency conversion fees were wrongly applied on purchases of goods and services in foreign countries, and claims alleging that the interchange charged by MasterCard and Visa settled a suit by Wal-Mart and other merchants who claimed that MasterCard and Visa unlawfully tied acceptance of debit cards to acceptance of credit cards. Under the settlement MasterCard and Visa are required to, among other things, allow merchants to accept MasterCard or Visa branded credit cards without accepting their debit cards (and vice versa), reduce the prices charged to merchants for off-line signature debit transactions for a period of time, and pay amounts totaling $3.05 billion into a settlement fund. MasterCard and Visa are also parties to suits in various state courts mirroring the allegations brought by Wal-Mart and the other merchants.

In October 2004, the United States Supreme Court let stand a federal court decision in a suit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, in which MasterCard and Visa rules prohibiting banks that issue cards on MasterCard and Visa networks from issuing cards on other networks (the “association rules”) were found to have violated federal antitrust laws. This decision effectively permits banks that issue cards on Visa’s or MasterCard’s networks, such as FIA and Bank of America Corporation’s other banking subsidiaries, to issue cards on competitor networks. Discover and American Express have initiated separate civil lawsuits against MasterCard and Visa claiming substantial damages stemming from the association rules. Visa and MasterCard have agreed to pay American Express $2.25 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, to settle its lawsuit. The trial for the Discover lawsuit is scheduled to commence in October 2008.

impermissible.  The costs associated with these settlements, litigations and other matters could cause MasterCard and Visa to invest less in their networks and marketing efforts and could adversely affect the interchange paid to their member banks, including FIA.


Litigation

Litigation

     BankA group of America Corporation and certainmerchants have filed a series of its subsidiaries are defendants in actions filed on behalf of a putative class of retail merchants that acceptactions and individual actions with regard to interchange fees associated with Visa and MasterCard payment cards. The first of thesecard transactions.  These actions, was filed in June 2005. On April 24, 2006, putative class plaintiffs filed a First Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint. Plaintiffs therein allege that the defendants conspired to fix the level of interchange and merchant discount fees and that certain other practices, including various Visa and MasterCard rules, violate federal and California antitrust laws. On May 22, 2006, the putative class plaintiffs filed a supplemental complaint against many of the same defendants, including Bank of America Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, alleging additional federal antitrust claims and a fraudulent conveyance claim under New York Debtor and Creditor Law, all arising out of MasterCard’s 2006 initial public offering. The putative class plaintiffs seek unspecified treble damages and injunctive relief. Additional defendants in the putative class actions include Visa, MasterCard, and other financial institutions.

     The putative class action plaintiffswhich have filed for class certification, and the actions are coordinated for pre-trial proceedingsbeen consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York together with additional, individual actions brought only against Visa and MasterCard, under the caption In Re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount AntitrustAnti-Trust Litigation. (“MotionsInterchange”), name Visa, MasterCard and several banks and bank holding companies, including Bank of America Corporation, as defendants.  Plaintiffs allege that the defendants conspired to dismiss portionsfix the level of default interchange rates, which represent the fee an issuing bank charges an acquiring bank on every transaction.  Plaintiffs also challenge as unreasonable restraints of trade under Section 1 of the First ConsolidatedSherman Act certain rules of Visa and Amended Class Action ComplaintMasterCard related to merchant acceptance of payment cards at the point of sale.  Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and injunctive relief based on their assertion that interchange would be lower or eliminated absent the


supplemental complaint have been filed. alleged conduct.  On January 8, 2008, the Courtcourt granted thedefendants’ motion to dismiss all claims that pre-date January 1, 2004, based on the settlement and release of claims in the Wal-Mart case discussed above inIndustry Developments.”On February 12, 2008, the Magistrate Judge assigned to these claims issued a Report and Recommendation granting the defendants’ motionfor pre-2004 damages.  Motions to dismiss the fraudulent conveyance claimsremainder of the complaint and plaintiffs’ motion for class certification are pending.


In addition, plaintiffs filed supplemental complaints against allcertain defendants, including Bank of America Corporation, relating to initial public offerings (the “IPOs”) of MasterCard and Visa.  Plaintiffs allege that the defendantsMasterCard and Visa IPOs violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act claims againstand Section 1 of the defendants other thanSherman Act.  Plaintiffs also assert that the MasterCard with leaveIPO was a fraudulent conveyance.  Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and to replead all claims consistent withundo the decision. The Magistrate Judge also denied the motionIPOs.  Motions to dismiss the Clayton Act claims against MasterCardboth supplemental complaints were filed in March 2009 and the Section 1 Sherman Actmotions remain pending.  On June 20, 2011, plaintiffs and defendants both moved for summary judgment.  Those motions are also pending; oral argument on the summary judgment motions is scheduled for November 2, 2011.  Trial has been scheduled to begin on September 12, 2012.

Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates previously entered into loss-sharing agreements with Visa and other financial institutions in connection with certain antitrust litigation against Visa, including Interchange.  Bank of America Corporation and these same affiliates have now entered into additional loss-sharing agreements for Interchange that cover all defendants, including MasterCard.  Collectively, the loss-sharing agreements require Bank of America Corporation and/or certain affiliates to pay 11.6 percent of the monetary portion of any comprehensive Interchange settlement.  In the event of an adverse judgment, the agreements require Bank of America Corporation and/or certain affiliates to pay 12.8 percent of any damages associated with Visa-related claims against all defendants. The defendants filed objections(“Visa-related damages”), 9.1 percent of any damages associated



 with MasterCard-related claims, and 11.6 percent of any damages associated with internetwork claims (“internetwork damages”) or not associated specifically with Visa or MasterCard-related claims (“unassigned damages”).

Pursuant to Visa’s publicly-disclosed Retrospective Responsibility Plan (the “RRP”), Visa placed certain proceeds from its IPO into an escrow fund (the “Escrow”).  Under the ReportRRP, funds in the Escrow may be accessed by Visa and Recommendationits members, including Bank of America, to pay for a comprehensive settlement or damages in Interchange, with Bank of America Corporation’s payments from the Escrow capped at 12.81 percent of the funds that Visa places therein.  Subject to that cap, Bank of America Corporation may use Escrow funds to cover: 73.9 percent of its monetary payment towards a comprehensive Interchange settlement, 100 percent of its payment for any Visa-related damages and plaintiffs have an opportunity to respond to the objections. The District Court will then review the Report73.9 percent of its payment for any internetwork damages and Recommendation as well as the objections and issue a final decision.unassigned damages.
