Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Each unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Bank of America Corporation common stock.
(2)	On February 13, 2015, the reporting person was granted units, vesting and payable in cash based on the closing price of Bank of America Corporation common stock on the settlement date, subject to the Company's attainment of performance goals. One-half of the units reported have performance goals based on the Company's three-year average return on assets and one-half of the units reported have performance goals based on the Company's three-year average growth in adjusted tangible book value, both beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017. For the performance period, an amount equaling 102% of the target was earned. Of the 102% earned, 100% was settled in cash on March 1, 2018 and the remaining 2% will be settled in cash on March 1, 2020.
(3)	For the performance period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017, an amount equaling 102% of the target was earned; the amount earned exceeding 100% resulted in an additional 1,851 units with a settlement date of March 1, 2020.
