6,000,000 Depositary Shares, Each Representing a 1/25th Interest in a
Share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series K
Bank of America Corporation is offering 6,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/25th interest in a
share of our perpetual Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series K, $0.01 par value, with a
liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share) (the "Preferred Stock").
Each depositary share entitles the holder, through the depository, to a proportional fractional interest in all rights
and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented by the depositary share.
We may redeem the Preferred Stock on any dividend payment date on or after January 30, 2018, in whole or in
part, at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any
declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.
We will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly
authorized committee of our board, from the date of issuance to, but excluding, January 30, 2018 at a rate of
8.00% per annum (equivalent to $80 per depositary share), payable semi-annually, in arrears, on January 30 and
July 30 of each year, beginning on July 30, 2008. Thereafter, we will pay declared dividends at a floating rate
equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.63% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on January 30,
April 30, July 30, and October 30 of each year. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative.
We do not intend to list the depositary shares or the Preferred Stock on any securities exchange.
Investing in the depositary shares involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-7.



The depositary shares are unsecured and are not savings accounts, deposits, or other obligations of a bank. The
depositary shares are not guaranteed by Bank of America, N.A. or any other bank and are not insured by the

shares, and supplements the description of our preferred stock and depositary shares included in the attached

included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus. We have not
authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different
or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. If information in this prospectus supplement is
inconsistent with the attached prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the
information in the attached prospectus. The delivery of this prospectus supplement, at any time, does not
imply that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus supplement or that the
information in this prospectus supplement or the attached prospectus is correct as of any time after that date.
This prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy the depositary shares in any jurisdiction in which that offer or solicitation is unlawful. The
distribution of this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus and the offering of the depositary
shares in some jurisdictions may be restricted by law. If you have received this prospectus supplement and the
attached prospectus, you should find out about and observe these restrictions. See "Underwriting."
This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the depositary shares in any
Member State of the European Economic Area (each, a "Relevant Member State") which has implemented the
Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (the "Prospectus Directive") will be made pursuant to an exemption under
the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a
prospectus for offers of the depositary shares. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer
in that Relevant Member State of the depositary shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in
this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no
obligation arises for us or any of the underwriters 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 underwriters have authorized, and neither we nor they
authorize, the making of any offer of the depositary shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for
us or the underwriters to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.

"Bank of America," "the Corporation," "we," "us," and "our" are to Bank of America Corporation.
Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this prospectus supplement are defined in the attached prospectus.
Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement and the
attached prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to the offering
of the depositary shares and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus

SUMMARY
The following information about the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock summarizes, and should
be read in conjunction with, the information contained in this prospectus supplement and in the
attached prospectus.
Securities Offered
We are offering 6,000,000 depositary shares of our Preferred Stock, with each share of Preferred Stock
having a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share). Each
depositary share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock. Each depositary share
entitles the holder to a proportional fractional interest in the Preferred Stock represented by that
depositary share, including dividend, voting, redemption, and liquidation rights.
We may elect from time to time to issue additional depositary shares representing interests in the
Preferred Stock, without notice to, or consent from, the existing holders of Preferred Stock, and all
those additional depositary shares would be deemed to form a single series with the Preferred Stock,
described by this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus.
Dividends
We will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a
duly authorized committee of our board, from the date of issuance to, but excluding, January 30, 2018,
at a rate of 8.00% per annum (equivalent to $80 per depositary share), payable semi-annually, in
arrears. Thereafter, we will pay declared dividends at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a
spread of 3.63% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears (each such rate, a "dividend rate").
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. Accordingly, if for any reason our board of
directors or a duly authorized committee of our board does not declare a dividend on the Preferred
Stock for a dividend period prior to the related dividend payment date, that dividend will not accrue,
and we will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that dividend period on the applicable dividend
payment date or at any time in the future, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized
committee of our board declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock or any other series of our preferred
stock or common stock for any future dividend period. A "dividend period" is the period from, and
including, a dividend payment date (as defined below) to, but excluding, the next dividend payment
date, except that the initial dividend period will begin on and include the original issue date of the
depositary shares and the Preferred Stock.
So long as any share of Preferred Stock remains outstanding, (1) no dividend will be declared and paid
or set aside for payment and no distribution will be declared and made or set aside for payment on any
junior stock (as defined below under "Description of the Preferred Stock -- Dividends") (other than a
dividend payable solely in shares of junior stock), (2) no shares of junior stock will be repurchased,
redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by us, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of
a reclassification of junior stock for or into other junior stock, or the exchange or conversion of one

share of junior stock for or into another share of junior stock, and other than through the use of the
proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of junior stock) nor will any monies
be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such securities by us, and
(3) no shares of parity stock (as defined below under "Description of the Preferred Stock --
Dividends") will be repurchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by us otherwise
than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Preferred Stock and such
parity stock except by conversion into or exchange for shares of junior stock, during a dividend period,
unless, in each case, the full dividends for the then-current dividend period on all outstanding shares of
the Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of
