On March 11, 2015, Bank of America Corporation (the “Corporation”) issued a news release announcing that the Corporation’s Board of Directors authorized a $4 billion common stock repurchase program. In addition, the news release announced that the Federal Reserve Board completed its 2015 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review and informed the Corporation that it did not object to the Corporation’s capital plan for the period from the second quarter of 2015 through the second quarter of 2016. This plan includes the $4 billion common stock repurchase program and maintaining the common stock dividend at the current rate of $0.05 per share per quarter. The Federal Reserve Board also asked the Corporation to submit an additional capital plan by September 30, 2015 addressing certain weaknesses identified in the Corporation’s capital planning process. If the Corporation does not make material progress in addressing these key weaknesses, the Federal Reserve Board may restrict the Corporation’s capital distributions.
A copy of the news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
