Hypothetical Coupon Rate Calculations

Examples

Set forth below are examples of the calculations of the hypothetical Coupon Rates (rounded to the nearest hundredth and expressed as percentages) determined on each of the Coupon Determination Dates, based upon the Minimum Coupon Rate of 1.00% per annum and the Auto-Cap of 7.47%. The examples illustrate, for the Initial Share Prices set forth in the table below, and a range of hypothetical Annual Levels on each Coupon Determination Date:

 

   

the hypothetical Stock Return and Performance Level of each Basket Stock;

 

   

the hypothetical Average Performance Level; and

 

   

the hypothetical Coupon Rate payable on the applicable Coupon Payment Date.

On the first Coupon Determination Date, the hypothetical Stock Return of each Basket Stock is less than zero. The Performance Level of each Basket Stock will equal its hypothetical Stock Return, resulting in a hypothetical Average Performance Level of -19.12%. However, because in no event will the Coupon Rate determined on any Coupon Determination Date be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate, the hypothetical Coupon Rate for July 16, 2012 is 1.00%.

On the second Coupon Determination Date, the hypothetical Stock Returns of two Basket Stocks are less than zero, and the hypothetical Stock Returns of the other fourteen Basket Stocks are greater than zero. Because of the Auto-Cap, the Performance Levels of each of the Basket Stocks with a Stock Return that is greater than zero will equal the Auto-Cap, and the Performance Levels of each of the Basket Stocks with a Stock Return that is less than zero will equal its hypothetical Stock Return. The hypothetical Average Performance Level is -3.78%. However, because in no event will the Coupon Rate determined on any Coupon Determination Date be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate, the hypothetical Coupon Rate for July 15, 2013 is 1.00%.

On the third Coupon Determination Date, the hypothetical Stock Return of each Basket Stock is greater than zero. Because of the Auto-Cap, the Performance Level of each Basket Stock will equal the Auto-Cap. Therefore, even though the hypothetical average Stock Return is 14.13%, the hypothetical Coupon Rate for July 14, 2014 is 7.47%.

On the fourth Coupon Determination Date, the hypothetical Stock Return of each Basket Stock is greater than zero. Because of the Auto-Cap, the Performance Level of the Basket Stocks with a Stock Return that is greater than zero will equal the Auto-Cap. Therefore, even though the hypothetical average Stock Return is 2.55%, the hypothetical Average Performance Level is 7.47%. As a result, the hypothetical Coupon Rate for July 14, 2015 is 7.47%.

These examples and the table below are for illustration only. The Coupon Rate on one or more Coupon Payment Dates may be limited to the Minimum Coupon Rate.

Risk Factors

There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page S-8 of product supplement VCN-2 and page S-4 of the MTN prospectus supplement identified below under “Additional Terms.” We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

 

  §  

The Coupon Rate on one or more Coupon Payment Dates may be limited to the Minimum Coupon Rate.

 

  §  

Your yield may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.

 

  §  

The Coupon Rate that will be applicable to each Coupon Payment Date is limited to the same rate as the Auto-Cap.

 

  §  

Due to the Auto-Cap, a significantly negative Stock Return of one or more Basket Stocks may not be offset by the positive stock return of one or more other Basket Stocks.

 

  §  

Your investment return, if any, may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Basket or the Basket Stocks.

 

  §  

You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Basket Stocks.

 

  §  

Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and changes in our credit ratings are expected to affect the value of the notes.

 

  §  

In seeking to provide you with what we believe to be competitive terms for the notes while providing MLPF&S with compensation for its services, we have considered the costs of developing, hedging, and distributing the notes described on page TS-7. The price at which you may sell the notes in any secondary market may be lower than the public offering price due to, among other things, the inclusion of these costs.

 

  §  

A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. MLPF&S is not obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes.

 

  §  

The Coupon Payments will not be affected by all developments relating to the Basket Stocks.

 

  §  

Changes in the value of one or more of the Basket Stocks may be offset by changes in the value of one or more of the other Basket Stocks.

 

  §  

If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than their Original Offering Price.

 

  §  

You will have no rights of a holder of any of the Basket Stocks, you will have no rights to receive any of the Basket Stocks, and you will not be entitled to dividends or other distributions by the issuers of the Basket Stocks.

 

  §  

Although we or our affiliates may from time to time hold one or more Basket Stocks, we do not control any company included in the Basket and are not responsible for any disclosure made by any other company.

 

  §  

Our business activities relating to the issuers of the Basket Stocks may create conflicts of interest with you.

 

  §  

The issuers of the Basket Stocks have no obligations relating to the notes and we will not perform any due diligence procedures with respect to these issuers.

 

  §  

Purchases and sales of the Basket Stocks by us and our affiliates may affect your return.

 

  §  

Our trading and hedging activities may create conflicts of interest with you.

 

  §  

Our hedging activities may affect your return on the notes and their market value.

 

  §  

The Annual Level of each Basket Stock determined on any Coupon Determination Date is not subject to adjustment for all corporate events.

 

  §  

There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.

 

  §  

You should consider the tax consequences of investing in the notes. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations” below and beginning on page S-29 of product supplement VCN-2.

Investor Considerations

 

You may wish to consider an investment in the notes if:

 

§  

You anticipate that the Annual Level of each of the Basket Stocks will be greater than the Initial Share Price on each of the Coupon Determination Dates.

 

§  

You accept that the Coupon Rate applicable to each annual interest period is uncertain and may not be more than the Minimum Coupon Rate.

 

§  

You accept that the Coupon Rate for each Coupon Payment Date is limited to the same rate as the Auto-Cap.

 

§  

You seek exposure to the Basket Stocks with no expectation of dividends or other benefits of owning the Basket Stocks.

 

§  

You are willing to accept that a trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. You understand that secondary market prices for the notes, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our actual and perceived creditworthiness.

 

§  

You are willing to make an investment, the payments on which depend on our creditworthiness, as the issuer of the notes.

 

The notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if:

 

§  

You anticipate that the Annual Level of each of the Basket Stocks will be less than the Initial Share Price on each of the Coupon Determination Dates.

 

§  

You seek an investment that provides annual interest payments with a guaranteed rate or a floating rate that is not limited to the Auto-Cap.

 

§  

You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the Basket Stocks.

 

§  

You seek assurances that there will be a liquid market if and when you want to sell the notes prior to maturity.

 

§  

You are unwilling or are unable to assume the credit risk associated with us, as the issuer of the notes.

 

 

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution; Role of MLPF&S and Conflicts of Interest

We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than three business days following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units.

MLPF&S, a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and will participate as selling agent in the distribution of the notes. Accordingly, offerings of the notes will conform to the requirements of Rule 5121 applicable to FINRA members. MLPF&S may not make sales in this offering to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the account holder.

Under our distribution agreement with MLPF&S, MLPF&S will purchase the notes from us as principal at the public offering price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount. The public offering price includes, in addition to the underwriting discount, a charge of approximately $0.075 per unit. This charge reflects an estimated profit earned by MLPF&S from transactions through which the notes are structured and resulting obligations hedged. The fees charged reduce the economic terms of the notes. Actual profits or losses from these hedging transactions may be more or less than this amount. In entering into the hedging arrangements for the notes, we seek competitive terms and may enter into hedging transactions with a division of MLPF&S or one of our subsidiaries or affiliates. For further information regarding these charges, our trading and hedging activities and other conflicts of interest, see “Risk Factors,” beginning on page S-8 and “Use of Proceeds” on page S-17 in Product Supplement VCN-2.

If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.

MLPF&S may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. MLPF&S may act as principal or agent in these transactions; however it is not obligated to engage in any such transactions.

Each of these issuers is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and files reports and other information with the SEC. Companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act are required to file periodically financial and other information required by the SEC. Information filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Section of the SEC, 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of this material also can be obtained from the Public Reference Section at prescribed rates. In addition, information filed electronically by each of the issuers of the Basket Stocks with the SEC can be reviewed through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is http://www.sec.gov.

This term sheet relates only to the notes and does not relate to the Basket Stocks. We are not offering or selling securities of any of the issuers of the Basket Stocks. The descriptions of the Basket Stocks in this section are derived from the publicly available documents described in the preceding paragraph. None of us or our affiliates has participated in the preparation of these documents, verified the accuracy or the completeness of the information concerning the Basket Stocks included in the publicly available documents or made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the Basket Stocks. We do not make any representation that the publicly available documents or any other publicly available information about the Basket Stocks are accurate or complete. There can be no assurance that events occurring prior or subsequent to the date of this term sheet (including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents described in the preceding paragraph) that might affect the value of any of the Basket Stocks have been or will be publicly disclosed. Because each Coupon Payment is related to the value of the Basket Stocks, those events, if any, also would affect the market value of the notes. We do not intend to furnish to you any additional information about the Basket Stocks. Neither we nor any of our affiliates makes any representation to you as to the future performance of any of the Basket Stocks.

We obtained the historical prices of the Basket Stocks shown below from the Bloomberg Financial® service, without independent verification. The historical value of any Basket Stock should not be taken as an indication of its future performance, and we cannot assure you that its Annual Level determined on any Coupon Determination Date will not decrease from its Initial Share Price.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations

Set forth below is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the notes. The following summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-29 of product supplement VCN-2, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes. For purposes of that discussion, we intend to take the position that the notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to taxation under the “noncontingent bond method,” and the balance of this discussion assumes that this characterization is proper and will be respected. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in product supplement VCN-2.

Under this characterization, the notes generally will be subject to the Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments. Under those regulations, a U.S. Holder will be required to report OID or interest income based on a “comparable yield” and a “projected payment schedule,” established by us for determining interest accruals and adjustments with respect to a note. A U.S. Holder who does not use the “comparable yield” and follow the “projected payment schedule” to calculate its OID and interest income on a note must timely disclose and justify the use of other estimates to the IRS.

A U.S. Holder will be required to recognize interest income equal to the amount of any “positive adjustment” for a note for the taxable year in which a contingent payment is paid (including a payment of interest at maturity). A positive adjustment is the excess of actual payments in respect of contingent payments over the projected amount of contingent payments. A U.S. Holder also will be required to account for any “negative adjustment” for a taxable year in which a contingent payment is paid. A negative adjustment is the excess of the projected amounts of contingent payments over actual payments in respect of the contingent payments. A net negative adjustment is the amount by which total negative adjustments in a taxable year exceed total positive adjustments in such taxable year. A net negative adjustment (1) will first reduce the amount of interest for the note that a U.S. Holder would otherwise be required to include in income in the taxable year, and (2) to the extent of any excess, will result in an ordinary loss equal to that portion of the excess as does not exceed the excess of (A) the amount of all previous interest inclusions under the note over (B) the total amount of the U.S. Holder’s net negative adjustments treated as ordinary loss on the note in prior taxable years. A net negative adjustment is not subject to the 2% floor limitation imposed on miscellaneous deductions under Section 67 of the Code. Any net negative adjustment in excess of the amounts described above in (1) and (2) will be carried forward to offset future interest income on the note or to reduce the amount realized on a sale, exchange, or redemption of the note and, in the case of a payment at maturity, should result in a capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses by a U.S. Holder is subject to limitations.

The following table reflects the expected issue date of July 14, 2011 and the scheduled maturity date of July 14, 2015 for the notes and is based upon the projected payment schedule and a comparable yield equal to 3.0460% per annum (compounded annually) that we established for the notes, and shows the amounts of ordinary income from a note that an initial U.S. Holder that holds the note until maturity and pays taxes on a calendar year basis should be required to report each calendar year.

   $0.1643    $1.2184

In addition, we have determined the projected payment schedule for the notes as follows:

        Projected Payment

     $0.3046

July 14, 2013

     $0.3046

July 14, 2014

     $0.3046

July 14, 2015

     $10.3046

You should be aware that these amounts are not calculated or provided for any purposes other than the determination of a U.S. Holder’s interest accruals and adjustments with respect to the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By providing the table above and the projected payment schedule, we make no representations regarding the actual amounts of interest payments on the notes.

Upon a sale, exchange, or redemption of a note prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, or redemption and the holder’s tax basis in the notes. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of that note, increased by the amount of OID previously accrued by the holder for that note (without regard to any positive or negative adjustments under the contingent payment debt regulations), and decreased by the amount of any projected payments for previous periods on the note. A U.S. Holder generally will treat any gain as interest income, and will treat any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of the excess of previous interest inclusions over the total negative adjustments previously taken into account as ordinary losses, and the balance as long-term or short-term capital loss depending upon the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the note.

You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. See the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-29 of product supplement VCN-2.

Market-Linked Investments Classification

Market-Linked Investments come in four basic categories, each designed to meet a different set of investor risk profiles, time horizons, income requirements and market views (bullish, bearish, moderate outlook, etc.). The following descriptions of these categories are meant solely for informational purposes and are not intended to represent any particular Market-Linked Investment or guarantee performance. Certain Market-Linked Investments may have overlapping characteristics.

LOGO

Market Downside Protection Market-Linked Investments combine some of the capital preservation features of traditional bonds with the growth potential of equities and other asset classes. They offer full or partial market downside protection at maturity, while offering market exposure that may provide better returns than comparable fixed income securities. It is important to note that the market downside protection feature provides investors with protection only at maturity, subject to issuer credit risk. In addition, in exchange for full or partial protection, you forfeit dividends and full exposure to the linked asset’s upside. In some circumstances, this could result in a lower return than with a direct investment in the asset.

LOGO

These short- to medium-term market-linked notes offer you a way to enhance your income stream, either through variable or fixed-interest coupons, an added payout at maturity based on the performance of the linked asset, or both. In exchange for receiving current income, you will generally forfeit upside potential on the linked asset. Even so, the prospect of higher interest payments and/or an additional payout may equate to a higher return potential than you may be able to find through other fixed-income securities. Enhanced Income Market-Linked Investments generally do not include market downside protection. The degree to which your principal is repaid at maturity is generally determined by the performance of the linked asset. Although enhanced income streams may help offset potential declines in the asset, you can still lose part or all of your original investment.

LOGO

Market Access notes may offer exposure to certain market sectors, asset classes and/or strategies that may not even be available through the other three categories of Market-Linked Investments. Subject to certain fees, the returns on Market Access Market-Linked Investments will generally correspond on a one-to-one basis with any increases or decreases in the value of the linked asset, similar to a direct investment. In some instances, they may also provide interim coupon payments. These investments do not include the market downside protection feature and, therefore, your principal remains at risk.

LOGO

These short- to medium-term investments offer you a way to enhance exposure to a particular market view without taking on a similarly enhanced level of market-downside risk. They can be especially effective in a flat to moderately positive market (or, in the case of bearish investments, a flat to moderately negative market). In exchange for the potential to receive better-than market returns on the linked asset, you must generally accept a degree of market downside risk and capped upside potential. As these investments are not market downside protected, and do not assure full repayment of principal at maturity, you need to be prepared for the possibility that you may lose all or part of your investment.
