4.000% Subordinated Notes, due January 2025
This pricing supplement describes a series of our subordinated notes that will be issued under our Medium-Term Note Program, Series L. We
refer to our 4.000% Subordinated Notes, due January 2025 as the "subordinated notes."
The subordinated notes mature on January 22, 2025. We will pay interest on the subordinated notes for each semi-annual interest period at a rate
equal to 4.000% per annum.
The subordinated notes are unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to our senior indebtedness (as defined in the
Subordinated Indenture) to the extent and in the manner provided in the Subordinated Indenture. We may not redeem the subordinated notes prior
to their maturity. We do not intend to list the subordinated notes on any securities exchange.
Investing in the subordinated notes involves risks. For an explanation of some of these risks, see "Risk Factors" on page PS-3 of this
pricing supplement, "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-5 of the attached prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" beginning on page 8
of the attached prospectus.
None of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, or any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of
the subordinated notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this pricing supplement, the attached prospectus supplement, or the attached
prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the subordinated notes involves significant risks. Your decision to purchase the subordinated notes should be made only
after carefully considering the risks of an investment in the subordinated notes, including those discussed below, in the attached prospectus
supplement beginning on page S-5, and in the attached prospectus beginning on page 8, with your advisors in light of your particular
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/70858/000119312515014977/d852237d424b5.htm[1/21/2015 9:34:14 AM]

424B5
circumstances. The subordinated notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about significant elements of the
subordinated 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, 2013, which is incorporated
by referenced in the attached prospectus.

Our Obligations Under the Subordinated Notes will be Subordinated.

Holders of the 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 attached prospectus.

The Subordinated Notes Are Subject To Limited Rights of Acceleration.

Payment of the 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 the 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.

SUBORDINATION AND RANKING

The subordinated notes are unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future "senior
indebtedness" (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) to the extent and in the manner provided in the Subordinated Indenture, as described in
"Description of Debt Securities--Subordination" in the attached prospectus. The subordinated notes will rank equally in right of payment with all
our other unsecured and subordinated indebtedness, other than unsecured and subordinated indebtedness that by its terms is subordinated to the
subordinated notes. As of September 30, 2014, on a non-consolidated basis we had approximately $154 billion of senior long-term debt and certain
short-term borrowings. "Senior indebtedness" also includes our obligations under letters of credit, guarantees, foreign exchange contracts and
interest rate swap contracts, none of which are included in such amount. In addition, holders of the subordinated notes may be fully subordinated to
interests held by the U.S. government in the event that we enter into a receivership, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding.

The subordinated notes will not be guaranteed by us or any of our affiliates and will not be subject to any other arrangement that legally or
economically enhances the ranking of the subordinated notes. To the extent then required by applicable laws or regulations, subordinated notes
may not be repaid prior to maturity without the requisite prior approvals, if any, from applicable regulators.

Due to differing subordination provisions in various series of subordinated debt securities issued by us and our predecessors, in the event of a
dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, holders of the subordinated notes may receive
more or less, ratably, than holders of some other series of our outstanding subordinated debt securities.

PS-3
Table of Contents
For additional information regarding subordination and ranking of the subordinated notes, see "Description of the Notes--Ranking--
Subordinated Notes" in the attached prospectus supplement and "Description of the Debt Securities--Subordination" in the attached prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds of the sale of the subordinated notes will be used for general corporate purposes.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

For a brief description of the tax effects of an investment in the subordinated notes, see "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of Debt Securities" beginning on page 62 and page 63, respectively, of the attached prospectus. The
following paragraph supplements the discussion under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations--Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act"
beginning on page 85 of the attached prospectus.

Withholding and reporting requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act generally apply to payments made after June 30,
2014. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act on
their investment in the subordinated notes.

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

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

We estimate that the total offering expenses for the subordinated 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.

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 subordinated notes offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the subordinated 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.

Banca IMI S.p.A. is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer, and will not effect any offers or sales of any subordinated notes in the United States
unless it is through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers as permitted by the regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
("FINRA").

Standard Chartered Bank will not effect any offers or sales of any subordinated notes in the United States unless it is through one or more
U.S. registered broker-dealers as permitted by the regulations of FINRA.

Additional Selling Restrictions

In addition to the representations, agreements, and restrictions set forth in the attached prospectus supplement under "Supplemental Plan of
Distribution--Selling Restrictions," the following representations, agreements and restrictions will apply to the subordinated notes.

Canada

Each selling agent has represented and agreed that in connection with the distribution of the subordinated notes it will sell the subordinated
note from outside Canada solely to purchasers purchasing as principal that are both "accredited investors" as defined in National Instrument 45-
106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions and "permitted clients" as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements,
Exemptions and Ongoing Registered Obligations.

Switzerland

The subordinated notes may not be offered, sold or advertised directly or indirectly into or in Switzerland except in a manner which will not
result in a public offering within the meaning of article 652a or 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations ("CO"). Neither this pricing supplement and
the attached prospectus supplement and prospectus nor any other offering or marketing materials relating to the subordinated notes have been
prepared with regard to the disclosure standards for prospectuses under

PS-5
Table of Contents
article 652a or 1156 CO, and therefore do not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of article 652a or 1156 CO. Neither this pricing
supplement and the attached prospectus supplement and prospectus nor any other offering or marketing materials relating to the subordinated notes
may be distributed, published or otherwise made available in Switzerland except in a manner which will not constitute a public offering of the
subordinated notes into or in Switzerland.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

In the opinion of McGuireWoods LLP, as counsel to Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), when the notes offered by this pricing
supplement and the attached prospectus supplement and prospectus have been completed and executed by BAC, and authenticated by the trustee in
accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated Indenture, and the notes have been delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by this
pricing supplement and the attached prospectus supplement and prospectus, all in accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated Indenture,
such notes will be legal, valid and binding obligations of BAC, subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors now or hereafter in effect, and to equitable principles that may limit the
right to specific enforcement of remedies, and further subject to 12 U.S.C. §1818(b)(6)(D) (or any successor statute) and any bank regulatory
powers now or hereafter in effect and to the application of principles of public policy. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to
the federal laws of the United States, 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 Subordinated Indenture, the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of the Subordinated Indenture 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 photocopies thereof, the authenticity of the originals of such copies and certain factual matters, all as stated in
the letter of McGuireWoods LLP dated March 30, 2012, which has been filed as an exhibit to BAC's Registration Statement relating to the notes
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2012.

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 (each, a "Relevant Member State") which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (and amendments
thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State, the "Prospectus Directive") 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.

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 8, 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, 2011, which is 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 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 formula and volatility of the applicable reference 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 equity or other securities linked 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

S-5
Table of Contents
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 factors, 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. 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).
Our employees who purchase the notes must comply with policies that limit their ability to trade the notes, and that may affect the value
of their notes.
If you are our employee or an employee of one of our affiliates, including one of the selling agents, you may acquire notes for investment
purposes only, and you must comply with all of our internal policies and procedures. Because these policies and procedures limit the dates and

times that you may effect a transaction in the notes, you may not be able to purchase any of the notes from us, and your ability to trade or sell any
of the notes in any secondary market may be limited.
Usury laws may limit the amount of interest that can be charged and paid on the notes.
New York law will govern the notes offered by this prospectus supplement. New York usury laws limit the amount of interest that can be
charged and paid on loans, including the notes. Under current New York law, the maximum permissible rate of interest is 25% per year on a simple
interest basis. This limit may not apply to notes in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested. While we believe that a U.S. federal or state court
sitting outside New York may give effect to New York law, many other states also have laws that regulate the amount of interest that may be
charged to and paid by a borrower. We do not intend to claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of interest.
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
The following summary of the terms of the notes and the indentures is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual
notes and the specific provisions of the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, as applicable.

S-6
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 pricing 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
