The investment-grade debt offering is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate
Davis Polk advised the representative of the several underwriters in connection with an SEC-registered offering by Bank of America Corporation of $500 million aggregate principal amount of floating-rate senior notes due September 2027, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.933% fixed-to-floating-rate senior notes due September 2027, $2.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.819% fixed-to-floating-rate senior notes due September 2029 and $3.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.872% fixed-to-floating-rate senior notes due September 2034.
