CHARLOTTE — Bank of America Corporation announced today that it has submitted redemption notices for its 6.70% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 6 (the Series 6 Preferred Stock), and the corresponding depositary shares representing fractional interests in the Series 6 Preferred Stock (the Series 6 Depositary Shares), and its 6.25% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 7 (the Series 7 Preferred Stock), and the corresponding depositary shares representing fractional interests in the Series 7 Preferred Stock (the Series 7 Depositary Shares).
As previously announced on May 21, 2013, the company intends to use the net proceeds of its offering of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series U to fund these redemptions.
The Series 6 Depositary Shares (NYSE: BML.PN) (CUSIP No. 060505575), each representing a 1/40th interest in one share of the Series 6 Preferred Stock, and the Series 7 Depositary Shares (NYSE: BML.PO) (CUSIP No. 060505567), each representing a 1/40th interest in one share of the Series 7 Preferred Stock, will be redeemed at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share. All 2,375,500 Series 6 Depositary Shares currently outstanding will be redeemed on June 28, 2013 for an aggregate redemption price of $59,387,500, and all 663,815 Series 7 Depositary Shares currently outstanding also will be redeemed on June 28, 2013 for an aggregate redemption price of $16,595,375.
Since the redemption dates for the Series 6 Depositary Shares and the Series 7 Depositary Shares are also dividend payment dates, the applicable redemption price of $25 per depositary share does not include declared and unpaid dividends.
