The selling agents may sell the notes to certain dealers at the public offering price, less a concession which will not exceed 0.250% of the
principal amount of the notes, and the selling agents and those dealers may resell the notes to other dealers at a reallowance discount which will not
exceed 0.200% of the principal amount of the notes.

After the initial offering of the notes, the concessions and reallowance discounts for the notes may change.

We estimate that the total offering expenses for the notes, excluding the selling agents' commissions, will be approximately $650,300.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated is our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we will receive the net proceeds of the offering.

Some of the selling agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial
dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and
commissions for these transactions.

PS-3
Table of Contents
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the selling agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of
investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their
own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or
our affiliates. Certain of the selling agents or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us
consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such selling agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering
into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including
potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The selling
agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such
securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and
instruments.

Trustee Conflict of Interest

BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, an affiliate of the trustee, is a selling agent for this offering. Therefore, if a default occurs with respect to
the notes, the trustee may have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. In that event, except in very limited
circumstances, the trustee would be required to resign as trustee under the Senior Indenture under which the notes are being issued and we would
be required to appoint a successor trustee. The trustee will remain the trustee under the Senior Indenture until a successor is appointed. During the
period of time until a successor is appointed, the trustee will have both (a) duties to noteholders under the Senior Indenture and (b) a conflicting
interest under the Senior Indenture for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Validity of the Notes

In the opinion of McGuireWoods LLP, as counsel to Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), when the notes offered hereby have been
completed and executed by BAC, and authenticated by the trustee, and the notes have been delivered against payment therefor as contemplated in
this pricing supplement and the attached prospectus, prospectus supplement and prospectus addendum, all in accordance with the provisions of the
indenture governing the notes, such notes will be legal, valid and binding obligations of BAC, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency (including laws relating to preferences, fraudulent transfers and equitable subordination), reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and to general principles of equity. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of
the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware
Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing). In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the
trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture governing the notes, the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture
governing the notes with respect to the trustee, the legal capacity of natural persons, the genuineness of signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to McGuireWoods LLP as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to McGuireWoods LLP as copies
thereof, the authenticity of the originals of such copies and certain factual matters, all as stated in the letter of McGuireWoods LLP dated
February 27, 2015, which has been filed as an exhibit to BAC's Registration Statement relating to the notes filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 27, 2015.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
We have registered the notes on a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Registration
No. 333-202354.
From time to time, we intend to use this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and a related product supplement, index
supplement and/or pricing supplement to offer the notes. We may refer to any pricing supplement as a "term sheet." You should read each of these
documents before investing in the notes.
This prospectus supplement describes additional terms of the notes and supplements the description of our debt securities contained in the
accompanying prospectus. If the information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the prospectus, this prospectus supplement will
supersede the information in the prospectus.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes
in any jurisdiction in which that offer or solicitation is unlawful. The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
and the offering of the notes in some jurisdictions may be restricted by law. If you have received this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, you should find out about and observe these restrictions. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to the distribution of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the notes outside of the United States. See "Supplemental Plan of
Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)."
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of
the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (and amendments thereto, including the Directive
2010/73/EU, to the extent implemented in the relevant Member State, the "Prospectus Directive") (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made
under an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus
for offers of notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of any notes which are
contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us
or any of the selling agents to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article
16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither we nor the selling agents have authorized, and neither we nor they
authorize, the making of any offer of notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for us or any selling agent to publish or supplement a
prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying
prospectus constitutes an approved prospectus for the purposes of the Prospective Directive.
For each offering of notes, we will issue a product supplement, index supplement, and/or a pricing supplement which will contain additional
terms of the offering and a specific description of the notes being offered. A supplement also may add, update, or change information in this
prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, including provisions describing the calculation of the amounts due under the notes and the
method of making payments under the terms of a note. We will state in the applicable supplement the interest rate or interest rate basis or formula,
issue price, any relevant market measures, the maturity date, interest payment dates, redemption, or repayment provisions, if any, and other relevant
terms and conditions for each note

at the time of issuance. A supplement also may include a discussion of any risk factors or other special additional considerations that apply to a
particular type of note. Each applicable supplement can be quite detailed and always should be read carefully.
Any term that is used, but not defined, in this prospectus supplement has the meaning set forth in the accompanying prospectus.

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Your investment in the notes involves significant risks. Your decision to purchase the notes should be made only after carefully considering
the risks of an investment in the notes, including those discussed below, in the accompanying prospectus beginning on page 9, and in the relevant
supplement(s) for the specific notes, with your advisors in light of your particular circumstances. The notes are not an appropriate investment for
you if you are not knowledgeable about significant elements of the notes or financial matters in general. For information regarding risks and
uncertainties that may materially affect our business and results, please refer to the information under the captions "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and
"Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2014, which is incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, as well as those risks and uncertainties discussed in
our subsequent filings that are incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus. You should also review the risk factors that will be set
forth in other documents that we will file after the date of this prospectus supplement.
The market value of the notes may be less than the principal amount of the notes.
The market for, and market value of, the notes may be affected by a number of factors. These factors include:


· the method of calculating the principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts payable, if any, on the notes;


· the time remaining to maturity of the notes;


· the aggregate amount outstanding of the relevant notes;


· any redemption or repayment features of the notes;


· the level, direction, and volatility of market interest rates generally;


· general economic conditions of the capital markets in the United States;


· geopolitical conditions and other financial, political, regulatory, and judicial events that affect the stock markets generally; and


· any market-making activities with respect to the notes.
Often, the only way to liquidate your investment in the notes prior to maturity will be to sell the notes. At that time, there may be a very
illiquid market for the notes or no market at all. For indexed notes that have specific investment objectives or strategies, the applicable trading
market may be more limited, and the price may be more volatile, than for other notes. The market value of indexed notes may be adversely
affected by the complexity of the payout formula and volatility of the applicable market measure, including any dividend rates or yields of other
securities or financial instruments that relate to the indexed notes. Moreover, the market value of indexed notes could be adversely affected by
changes in the amount of outstanding debt, equity, or other securities linked to the applicable market measures, assets or formula applicable to
those notes.
Holders of indexed notes are subject to important risks that are not associated with more conventional debt securities.
If you invest in indexed notes, you will be subject to significant risks not associated with conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt
securities. These risks include the possibility that the

424B5
applicable market measures may be subject to fluctuations, and the possibility that you will receive a lower, or no, amount of principal, premium,
or interest, and at different times, than expected. In recent years, many securities, currencies, commodities, interest rates, indices, and other market
measures have experienced volatility, and this volatility may be expected in the future. However, past experience is not necessarily indicative of
what may occur in the future. We have no control over a number of matters, including economic, financial, and political events, that are important
in determining the existence, magnitude, and longevity of market volatility and other risks and their impact on the value of, or payments made on,
the indexed notes. Further, you should assume that there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority that addresses directly the
characterization of some types of indexed notes or similar instruments for U.S. federal or other income tax purposes. As a result, the income tax
consequences of an investment in indexed notes are not certain. In considering whether to purchase indexed notes, you should be aware that the
calculation of amounts payable on indexed notes may involve reference to a market measure determined by one of our affiliates or prices or values
that are published solely by third parties or entities which are not regulated by the laws of the United States. Additional risks that you should
consider in connection with an investment in indexed notes are set forth in the applicable supplement(s) for the notes.
Our obligations under subordinated notes will be subordinated.
Holders of our subordinated notes should recognize that contractual provisions in the Subordinated Indenture may prohibit us from making
payments on the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes are unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our senior
indebtedness (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture), to the extent and in the manner provided in the Subordinated Indenture. In addition, the
subordinated notes may be fully subordinated to interests held by the U.S. government in the event we enter into a receivership, insolvency,
liquidation or similar proceedings. For additional information regarding the subordination provisions applicable to the subordinated notes, see
"Description of Debt Securities -- Subordination" in the accompanying prospectus.
Our subordinated notes are subject to limited rights of acceleration.
Payment of our subordinated notes may be accelerated only in the event of our voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy under federal bankruptcy
laws (and, in the case of our involuntary bankruptcy, continuing for a period of 60 days). If you purchase any subordinated notes, you will have no
right to accelerate the payment of the subordinated notes if we fail to pay interest on such notes or if we fail in the performance of any of our other
obligations under such notes.
Floating-rate notes bear additional risks.
If your notes bear interest at a floating rate, there will be additional significant risks not associated with a conventional fixed-rate debt
security. These risks include fluctuation of the interest rates and the possibility that you will receive an amount of interest that is lower than
expected. We have no control over a number of matters, including economic, financial, and political events, that are important in determining the
existence, magnitude, and longevity of market volatility and other risks and their impact on the value of, or payments made on, your floating-rate
notes. In recent years, interest rates have been volatile, and that volatility may be expected in the future.

Our hedging activities may affect your return at maturity and the market value of the notes.
At any time, we or our affiliates may engage in hedging activities relating to the notes. This hedging activity, in turn, may increase or
decrease the market value of the notes. In addition, we or our affiliates may acquire a long or short position in the notes from time to time. All or a
portion of these positions may be liquidated at or about the time of maturity of the notes. The aggregate amount and the composition of these
positions are likely to vary over time. We have no reason to believe that any of our hedging activities will have a material effect on the notes, either
directly or indirectly, by impacting the value of the notes. However, we cannot assure you that our activities or affiliates' activities will not affect
these values.
Our hedging and trading activities may create conflicts of interest with you.
From time to time during the term of each series of notes and in connection with the determination of the payments on the notes, we or our
affiliates may enter into additional hedging transactions or adjust or close out existing hedging transactions. We or our affiliates also may enter into
hedging transactions relating to other notes or instruments that we issue, some of which may have returns calculated in a manner related to that of a
particular series of notes. We or our affiliates will price these hedging transactions with the intent to realize a profit, considering the risks inherent
in these hedging activities, whether the value of the notes increases or decreases. However, these hedging activities may result in a profit that is
more or less than initially expected, or could result in a loss.

We or one or more of our affiliates, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, may engage in trading activities that are
not for your account or on your behalf. These trading activities may present a conflict of interest between your interest in the notes and the interests
we and our affiliates may have in our proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including block trades, for our other customers, and in
accounts under our management. These trading activities, if they influence the market measure or other reference asset (if any) for the notes or
secondary trading (if any) in the notes, could be adverse to your interests as a beneficial owner of the notes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
This section describes the general terms and conditions of the notes, which may be senior or subordinated medium-term notes. This section
supplements, and should be read together with, the general description of our debt securities included in "Description of Debt Securities" in the
accompanying prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
We will describe the particular terms of the notes we sell in a separate supplement. The terms and conditions stated in this section will apply
to each note unless the note or the applicable supplement indicates otherwise.
General
In addition to the following summary of the general terms of the notes and the indentures, you should review the actual notes and the specific
provisions of the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, as applicable, which are on file with the SEC.

S-7
Table of Contents
We will issue the notes as part of a series of debt securities under the Senior Indenture or the Subordinated Indenture, as applicable, which are
exhibits to our registration statement and are contracts between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee.
In this prospectus supplement, we refer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the "trustee," and we refer to the Senior
Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture individually as the "Indenture" and together as the "Indentures."
The Indentures are subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. We, the selling agents, and the depository, in the ordinary
course of our respective businesses, have conducted and may conduct business with the trustee or its affiliates. See "Description of Debt Securities
--The Indentures" in the accompanying prospectus for more information about the Indentures and the functions of the trustee.
The notes are our direct unsecured obligations and are not obligations of our subsidiaries. The notes are being offered on a continuous basis.
There is no limit under our registration statement on the total initial public offering price or aggregate principal amount of the Senior and
Subordinated Medium-Term Notes, Series L, that may be offered using this prospectus supplement. We may issue other debt securities under the
Indentures from time to time in one or more series up to the aggregate principal amount of the then-existing grant of authority by our board of
directors.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable supplement, the minimum denomination of the notes will be $1,000 and any larger amount that is
a whole multiple of $1,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). We may also issue the notes in units of $10.
Types of Notes
Fixed-Rate Notes. We may issue notes that bear interest at a fixed rate described in the applicable supplement, which we refer to as "fixed-
rate notes." We also may issue fixed-rate notes that combine principal and interest payments in installment payments over the life of the note,
which we refer to as "amortizing notes." For more information on fixed-rate notes and amortizing notes, see "Description of Debt
Securities -- Fixed-Rate Notes" in the accompanying prospectus.
Floating-Rate Notes. We may issue notes that bear interest at a floating rate of interest determined by reference to one or more base
interest rates, or by reference to one or more interest rate formulae, described in the applicable supplement, which we refer to as "floating-rate
notes." In some cases, the interest rate of a floating-rate note also may be adjusted by adding or subtracting a spread or by multiplying the interest
rate by a spread multiplier. A floating-rate note also may be subject to a maximum interest rate limit, or ceiling, and/or a minimum interest rate
limit, or floor, on the interest that may accrue during any interest period. For more information on floating-rate notes, including a description of the
manner in which interest payments will be calculated, see "Description of Debt Securities -- Floating-Rate Notes" in the accompanying
prospectus.
Indexed Notes. We may issue notes that provide that the rate of return, including the principal, premium (if any), interest, or other amounts
payable (if any), is determined by reference, either directly or indirectly, to the price or performance of one or more securities, commodities,

currencies or composite currencies, interest rates, stock or commodity indices, exchange traded funds, currency indices, consumer price indices,
inflation indices or other market measures, or any combination of the above, in each case as specified in the applicable supplement. We refer to
these notes as "indexed notes."

S-8
Table of Contents
If you purchase an indexed note, you may receive an amount at maturity that is greater than or less than the face amount of your note,
depending upon the formula used to determine the amount payable and the relative value at maturity of the market measure to which your indexed
note is linked. We expect that the value of the applicable market measure will fluctuate over time.
An indexed note may provide either for cash settlement or for physical settlement by delivery of the relevant asset. An indexed note also may
provide that the form of settlement may be determined at our option or the holder's option. Some indexed notes may be convertible, exercisable, or
exchangeable prior to maturity, at our option or the holder's option, for the relevant asset or the cash value of the relevant asset.
We will specify in the applicable supplement the method for determining the principal, premium (if any), interest, or other amounts payable
(if any) in respect of particular indexed notes, as well as certain historical or other information with respect to the specified index or other market
measure, specific risk factors relating to that particular type of indexed note, and tax considerations associated with an investment in the indexed
notes.
A supplement for any particular indexed notes also will identify the calculation agent that will calculate the amounts payable with respect to
the indexed note. The calculation agent may be one of our affiliates, including Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc., or Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. We may appoint different calculation agents
from time to time after the original issue date of an indexed note without your consent and without notifying you of the change. Absent manifest
error, all determinations of the calculation agent will be final and binding on you, the selling agents, and us. Upon request of the holder of an
indexed note, and to the extent set forth in the applicable supplement, the calculation agent will provide, if applicable, information relating to the
current principal, premium (if any), rate of interest, interest payable, or other amounts payable (if any) in connection with that indexed note.
For more information about indexed notes, see "Description of Debt Securities -- Indexed Notes" in the accompanying prospectus.
Original Issue Discount Notes. We may issue notes at a price lower than their principal amount or lower than their minimum guaranteed
repayment amount at maturity, which we refer to as "original issue discount notes." Original issue discount notes may be fixed-rate, floating-rate,
or indexed notes and may bear no interest ("zero coupon notes") or may bear interest at a rate that is below market rates at the time of issuance.
For more information on original issue discount notes, see "Description of Debt Securities -- Original Issue Discount Notes" in the accompanying
prospectus.
Specific Terms of the Notes. The applicable supplement(s) for each offering of notes will contain additional terms of the offering and a
specific description of those notes, including:


· the specific designation of the notes;


· the issue price;


· the principal amount;


· the issue date;


· the maturity date, and any terms providing for the extension or postponement of the maturity date;
