Insights

This redemption of Series AA Preferred Stock represents a strategic capital management move by Bank of America that carries several important implications for investors. The timing is particularly noteworthy given the current interest rate environment, suggesting BAC may be positioning itself to potentially refinance at more favorable rates if market conditions permit.

The redemption affects the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, with holders receiving $1,000 per depositary share plus a final dividend of $30.50. This decision likely reflects BAC's strong capital position and its proactive approach to liability management. By redeeming these shares, BAC could potentially:

  • Optimize its capital stack by reducing higher-cost preferred equity
  • Enhance financial flexibility for future capital allocation decisions
  • Improve its return on equity by reducing the number of outstanding preferred shares

From a broader perspective, this move aligns with the banking industry's trend of optimizing capital structures in response to evolving regulatory requirements and market conditions. For preferred shareholders, while this represents the end of a steady income stream, the redemption price ensures they receive full value for their investment.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America Corporation announced today that it will redeem all outstanding shares of its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series AA (CUSIP No. 060505EP5), liquidation preference $25,000 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), and the corresponding depositary shares each representing a 1/25th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock (CUSIP No. 060505EN0) (the "Depositary Shares"). 

The Depositary Shares will be redeemed simultaneously with the Preferred Stock on the upcoming dividend payment date on March 17, 2025 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of $1,000 per depositary share. Declared dividends of $30.50 per depositary share in respect of the outstanding Depositary Shares for the full current semi-annual dividend period from, and including, September 17, 2024 to, but excluding, March 17, 2025 will be paid separately on March 17, 2025, to holders of record on March 1, 2025, in the customary manner. Accordingly, the redemption price of $1,000 per depositary share does not include any accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the redeemed Depositary Shares will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

The Depositary Shares are held through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and will be redeemed in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.

Payment to DTC for the Depositary Shares will be made by Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., collectively, as redemption agent. The address for the redemption agent is as follows:

Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
Attn: Corporate Actions
150 Royall St.
