Borrowers’ Participation in Municipal Auction Rate Securities

Description of BofA’s Auction Rate Securities Practices and Procedures

Certain Municipal Issuers or Conduit Borrowers have determined to participate in the auction of their own auction rate securities pursuant to recent guidance from the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. These Issues/Conduit Borrowers are required to provide a notice of their intent to participate in the auction and the interest rate and amounts that they will bid for and certain other detailed bidding information. The Issuer/Conduit Borrower’s interests are different from any other bondholder in that they want the lowest possible interest rate.
