In Re Bankamerica Corp. Securities Litigation MDL No. 1264-Notice Of UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI Eastern Division X : MDL No. 1264 In re: : : Senior Judge Nangle BANKAMERICA CORP. SECURITIES LITIGATION : ALL CASES : X NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION This notice is given pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and by Order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division (the “Court”). You are receiving this notice because you purchased, sold, or owned shares in Bank of America Corporation, or its predecessors, NationsBank Corporation and BankAmerica Corporation, on or about the merger of the two predecessor corporations at the close of business on September 30, 1998 (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, a number of federal lawsuits were filed seeking to represent various classes of persons who purchased, sold, or owned shares in Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”) or its two predecessors during a time period beginning August 4, 1998 and ending October 13, 1998, inclusive (the “Class Period”). These lawsuits have been consolidated for all pretrial purposes in the Court. The Court has now certified four separate plaintiff classes, described more fully below (the “Classes”), on whose behalf these consolidated lawsuits are being prosecuted. By order of the Court, this notice is being sent to you in the belief that you may be a member of one or more of the Classes, to inform you as follows: c THE COURT HAS CERTIFIED THE ABOVE-CAPTIONED CONSOLIDATED LAWSUITS (THE “ACTION”) AS A CLASS ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE CLASSES DEFINED IN SECTION II BELOW. c IF YOU MEET THE CLASS DEFINITIONS, YOU WILL BE A MEMBER OF THE APPLICABLE CLASS OR CLASSES, UNLESS YOU ACT TO EXCLUDE YOURSELF PURSUANT TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION IV BELOW. IF YOU WISH TO REMAIN A MEMBER OF THE CLASS OR CLASSES APPLICABLE TO YOU, YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE. c NO DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE ON THE MERITS OF THE CASE. ANY FINAL JUDGMENT WILL BIND ALL MEMBERS OF THE CLASSES EXCEPT THOSE MEMBERS WHO ACT TO EXCLUDE THEMSELVES NOW. c YOU MAY OBTAIN MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACTION BY ACCESSING THE COURT FILE OR THE INTERNET WEB-SITE ESTABLISHED BY PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL AT: http://www.bacsecuritieslit.com. I. Nature of the Action and status of the proceedings. This matter consolidates for pretrial purposes 24 lawsuits filed in different federal courts by shareholders of Bank of America and its two predecessor entities, BankAmerica Corporation (“BankAmerica”) and NationsBank Corporation (“NationsBank”). BankAmerica and NationsBank merged at the end of business September 30, 1998 to form a new BankAmerica Corporation (now called Bank of America Corporation). The lawsuits allege that Bank of America, BankAmerica, NationsBank, and certain officers and directors of Bank of America, BankAmerica and NationsBank (the “Defendants”) violated federal securities laws, namely Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, and state common law upon issuance of a series of allegedly materially false and misleading statements, including representations and omissions in a Joint Proxy Statement Prospectus dated August 4, 1998 issued in connection with the Merger. The Defendants are Bank of America Corporation, Hugh L. McColl, Jr., James H. Hance, Jr., David A. Coulter, Michael E. O’Neill, John J. Higgins, and Marc D. Oken. The individuals were all officers or directors of Bank of America or its predecessors at times material to the allegations in the complaint. Specifically, those plaintiffs who are members of the NationsBank Holder Class, the NationsBank Purchaser Class, or the BankAmerica Pur- chaser Class, as defined below in Section II, allege that Defendants violated applicable law by failing to disclose material information about a relationship that BankAmerica Corporation had with an investment firm known as D. E. Shaw, and that they were harmed thereby. Those plaintiffs who are members of the BankAmerica Holder Class, as defined below in Section II, allege that they were damaged because Defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose facts concerning whether the merger would be a “merger of equals.” The Defendants deny these claims and specifically deny any wrongdoing or liability to any Class or Class member. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, challenging the sufficiency of the complaint, which the Court denied in substantial part, finding that the complaint was suf- ficient under applicable federal and state law. Neither the class certification, discussed below, nor the denial of the motion to dismiss constitutes a determination on the merits of the case. Any final judgment made by the Court will be binding on all members of the Classes except those members who exclude themselves as provided herein. II. The Classes certified by the Court pursuant to Rule 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. A. The four Classes and who is included in them. The Court has certified the Action as a class action on behalf of four separate and distinct Classes: (1) The “NationsBank Holder Class.” All common and preferred shareholders of NationsBank who were entitled to vote on the Merger of NationsBank and BankAmerica or who held their shares in NationsBank as of the close of business on September 30, 1998. (2) The “NationsBank Purchaser Class.” All purchasers of NationsBank securities between August 4, 1998 and September 30, 1998. (3) The “BankAmerica Holder Class.” All common and preferred shareholders of BankAmerica who were entitled to vote on the Merger, or who held their shares in BankAmerica as of the close of business on September 30, 1998. (4) The “BankAmerica Purchaser Class.” All purchasers of BankAmerica securities between August 4, 1998 and September 30, 1998, and all purchasers of BankAmerica (now Bank of America) securities between October 1, 1998 and October 13, 1998. B. Persons excluded from the Classes. The Court’s Order excludes from the four Classes certain persons who would otherwise fall within the definition of one or more of the Classes. The persons excluded from the Classes are: (1) the Defendants; (2) Bank of America, its subsidiaries and affiliates, both in its own right and as the successor in interest of BankAmerica and NationsBank; (3) the officers and directors of Bank of America, BankAmerica, and NationsBank; (4) members of the immediate families of any of the Defendants; (5) any entity in which any of the Defendants has a controlling interest; and (6) the legal representatives, heirs, successors, predecessors in interest, affiliates or assigns of any of the Defendants. C. The certified class representatives. The Court has certified the following class representatives for the four separate classes certified by the Court: For the NationsBank Holder Class: Joseph Hempen, John M. Koehler, and David P. Oetting. For the NationsBank Purchaser Class: Kevin Kloster. For the BankAmerica Holder Class: Selma Kaiser and Walter E. Ryan, Jr. For the BankAmerica Purchaser Class: Brian Markee. D.

Krislov, Krislov & Associates, Ltd., 222 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2120, Chicago, IL 60601, (312) 606-0500 (Executive Committee Member). III. Consequences of Class membership and Class members’ rights. If you wish to remain in any Class in which you are included, you need not take any action at this time. If you remain in the applicable Class or Classes, then: (a) your interests in the action will be represented by Class Counsel, as defined in Section II above; (b) you will not have to pay any of Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees or expenses, except to the extent that the Court may direct 2 that such fees and expenses be paid out of any settlements or recoveries obtained for the Classes; (c) you may be entitled to share in the ben- efits of any settlements or recoveries, and you will be bound by any such settlements and by any favorable or unfavorable judgments entered in the Action; (d) you will have the right to appear and be heard regarding Court approval of any future settlements, and any applications for payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses; and (e) you will have the right to receive notice of and to object to any settlements. If you do not wish to have your interests represented by Class Counsel, you may enter a separate appearance through counsel of your choice, or personally, at your own expense. In order for you to benefit from any settlements or recoveries in the Action, should there be any, you may be required at a future date to substantiate your membership in the Class or Classes applicable to you as well as the amount of your claim. Therefore, you should retain all records pertaining to your ownership of, as well as all purchases and sales of, NationsBank, BankAmerica and Bank of America securities (collectively, the “Class Securities”) during the period beginning August 4, 1998 and ending October 13, 1998, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ATR Tuesday, December 9, 1997 (202) 616-2765 TDD (202) 514-1888 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REACHES RECORD AGREEMENT WITH NATIONSBANK $4.1 BILLION DIVESTITURE LARGEST EVER IN A SINGLE STATE WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Assistant Attorney General Joel I. Klein announced today that the Justice Department has cleared the proposed merger of NationsBank Corporation with Barnett Banks. NationsBank agreed to divest approximately 124 branch offices with total deposits of approximately $4.1 billion. The divestiture becomes the largest bank divestiture ever in a single state and the second largest overall. "With this historic divestiture, the citizens of Florida will continue to reap the benefits of competition," stated Klein, who runs the Department’s Antitrust Division. "This procompetitive result should help to assure that Floridians will receive the lowest rates on loans and the best service for their banking needs." The Antitrust Division’s investigation was conducted jointly with the Florida Attorney General’s Office. The divestitures will occur in 15 areas of Florida: Beverly Hills, Brevard, Columbia, Daytona Beach, Fort Myers, Key Largo, Key West, Marathon, Orlando, Naples, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, Suwannee, Tampa and West Palm Beach. In addition to the divestitures, NationsBank has agreed not to take steps to preclude other financial institutions from leasing or purchasing any bank branches that it may close due to consolidation resulting from this merger. Subject to regulatory approvals, the branches and associated loans and deposits that NationsBank will divest will be sold to one or more competitively suitable buyers. The proposed merger of NationsBank and Barnett Banks is subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

  • Case Study of the Bank of America and Merrill Lynch Merger
    CASE STUDY OF THE MERGER BETWEEN BANK OF AMERICA AND MERRILL LYNCH Robert J. Rhee† The financial crisis of 2008 has posed innumerable problems in law, policy, and economics. A key event in the history of the financial crisis was Bank of America‟s acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Along with the fire sale of Bear Stearns and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the rescue of Merrill Lynch confirmed the worst fears about the financial crisis. Before this acquisition, Bank of America had long desired a top tier investment banking business, and Merrill Lynch represented a strategic opportunity to acquire a troubled but premier franchise of significant scale.1 As the financial markets continued to unravel after execution of the merger agreement, this golden opportunity turned into a highly risky gamble. Merrill Lynch was losing money at an astonishing rate, an event sufficient for Bank of America to consider seriously invoking the merger agreement‟s material adverse change clause. 2 The deal ultimately closed, but only after the government threatened to fire Bank of America‟s management and board if the company attempted to terminate the deal. The government took this coercive action to save the financial system from complete collapse. The harm to the financial system from a broken deal, officials feared, would have been unthinkable. The board‟s motivation is less clear. Like many classic corporate law cases, the factors influencing the board and management were complex. This case study examines these complexities, which raise important, unresolved issues in corporate governance and management. In 2008, three major investment banks—Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch—collapsed or were acquired under distress, and these events played a large part in triggering the global financial crisis.3 In March, Bear Stearns † Associate Professor of Law, University of Maryland School of Law; J.D., The George Washington University; M.B.A., University of Pennsylvania (Wharton); B.A., University of Chicago.
