Bank of America Announces Preliminary Results of Exchange Offer

For Certain Series of Preferred Stock

CHARLOTTE – Bank of America Corporation today announced the preliminary results of its offers to exchange up to 200 million shares of common stock for outstanding depositary shares of certain series of preferred stock. The exchange offer expired at midnight, New York City time, on June 24, 2009 and consisted of separate offers for the depositary shares representing each series of preferred stock listed below.

Approximately $4.3 billion aggregate liquidation preference of depositary shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the exchange offer and approximately $3.9 billion aggregate liquidation preference of depositary shares were accepted. The table below lists on a preliminary basis the number of depositary shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the expiration date for each series of preferred stock that was subject to the exchange offer, the number that was accepted and the aggregate liquidation preference that was tendered and accepted.

Bank of America also announced that to date it has entered into agreements with certain holders of (non-government) perpetual preferred shares to exchange their holdings of approximately $10.7 billion aggregate liquidation preference of perpetual preferred stock into approximately 789 million shares of common stock. In total, the exchange offer and these privately negotiated exchanges cover the exchange of approximately $14.7 billion aggregate liquidation preference of preferred stock into approximately 989 million shares of common stock.

As a result of these exchanges and other previously announced actions, Bank of America will exceed the $33.9 billion indicated Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (SCAP) buffer set by the Federal Reserve.

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, Bank of America has accepted for exchange depositary shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn based on the acceptance priority levels assigned to each series of preferred stock described below (with priority level 1 being accepted first) and in accordance with the proration procedures described in the Offer to Exchange dated May 28, 2009, as amended.

Page 2

The number of depositary shares and the aggregate liquidation preference accepted by Bank of America for each series of preferred stock are listed in the table below. All depositary shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in acceptance priority levels 1 through 7 were accepted. Depositary shares tendered in acceptance priority level 8 were accepted on a pro rata basis. The proration factor of approximately 30.0 percent was applied to tendered depositary shares in that acceptance priority level to determine the number of depositary shares that would be accepted. Depositary shares tendered in acceptance priority level 9 were not accepted.

The transaction will result in the issuance of approximately 200 million new common shares.

Based on the preliminary count by the exchange agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the results of the exchange offer are as follows:

The table below lists the final number of depositary shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the expiration date for each series of preferred stock that was subject to the exchange offer, the number that was accepted and the aggregate liquidation preference that was tendered and accepted.

Bank of America also announced that to date it has entered into agreements with certain holders of (non-government) perpetual preferred shares to exchange their holdings of approximately $10.7 billion aggregate liquidation preference of perpetual preferred stock into approximately 789 million shares of common stock. In total, the exchange offer and these privately negotiated exchanges cover the exchange of approximately $14.7 billion aggregate liquidation preference of preferred stock into approximately 989 million shares of common stock.

As a result of these exchanges and other previously announced actions, Bank of America will exceed the $33.9 billion indicated Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (SCAP) buffer set by the Federal Reserve.

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, Bank of America has accepted for exchange depositary shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn based on the acceptance priority levels assigned to each series of preferred stock described below (with priority level 1 being accepted first) and in accordance with the proration procedures described in the Offer to Exchange dated May 28, 2009, as amended.

The number of depositary shares and the aggregate liquidation preference accepted by Bank of America for each series of preferred stock are listed in the table below. All depositary shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in acceptance priority levels 1 through 7 were accepted. Depositary shares tendered in acceptance priority level 8 were accepted on a pro rata basis. The proration factor of approximately 30.0 percent was applied to tendered depositary shares in that acceptance priority level to determine the number of depositary shares that would be accepted. Depositary shares tendered in acceptance priority level 9 were not accepted.

The transaction will result in the issuance of approximately 200 million new common shares.

Based on the final count by the exchange agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the results of the exchange offer are as follows:
