‌DISCLOSURE MAP

CORPORATE OVERVIEW

Bank of America Corporation (together, with its consolidated subsidiaries, Bank of America, "we", "us" or "our") is a Delaware corporation, a bank holding company and a financial holding company. When used in this report, "the Corporation" may refer to Bank of America Corporation individually, Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries or certain of Bank of America Corporation's subsidiaries or affiliates. Bank of America is one of the world's largest financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small- and middle-market businesses, institutional investors, large corporations and governments with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk management products and services. Our principal executive offices are located in the Bank of America Corporate Center, 100 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255.

‌LCR REQUIREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES

The objective of the LCR is to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of financial institutions by requiring banks to hold high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) that can be easily monetized to meet their liquidity needs for a 30 calendar-day liquidity stress scenario. The LCR is intended to improve the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress. The LCR is calculated as the amount of a financial institution's HQLA relative to the prescribed net cash outflows the institution could encounter over a 30 calendar-day period of significant liquidity stress, expressed as a percentage.

‌THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE LCR

The main drivers of the Corporation's U.S. LCR include changes in total HQLA and composition of Level 1 and Level 2 assets, as well as changes in net cash outflows related to, but not limited to, deposits, commitment facilities, securities financing and client brokerage and collateralized derivatives.

For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, the Corporation's average daily U.S. LCR was 112.4 percent. The ratio is the average of the daily reported LCRs throughout the quarter. The weighted HQLA averaged $629 billion and net cash outflows over a 30 calendar-day period averaged $559 billion. The Corporation's average daily LCR decreased compared to the prior quarter primarily driven by an increase in net outflows outside of the banking entities.

Note: Eligible HQLA reported in rows 1-4 in the table above exclude excess liquidity held at certain subsidiaries.

‌THE COMPOSITION OF ELIGIBLE HQLA

Under the LCR Rule, HQLA is classified into three categories: Level 1, Level 2A and Level 2B. Level 1 assets include central bank reserves (less reserve requirements) and certain marketable securities backed by sovereigns and central banks. Level 2A assets, subject to a 15 percent haircut, include certain U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities and government or central bank securities not eligible for Level 1. Level 2B assets, subject to a 50 percent haircut, include certain corporate debt securities (including commercial paper), municipal bonds and publicly traded common equities. Level 2 assets (both Level 2A and Level 2B combined) are limited to 40 percent of total HQLA and Level 2B assets are limited to 15 percent of total HQLA. For additional information, refer to Liquidity Risk - Global Liquidity Sources and Other Unencumbered Assets within the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) section of the March 31, 2025, Form 10-Q.

‌CONCENTRATION OF FUNDING SOURCES

We fund our assets primarily with a mix of deposits and secured and unsecured liabilities through a centralized, globally coordinated funding approach diversified across products, programs, markets, currencies and investor groups. We consider a substantial portion of our deposits to be a stable, low-cost and consistent source of funding. Our long-term unsecured debt is primarily issued in a variety of maturities and currencies to achieve cost-efficient funding, to maintain an appropriate maturity profile and to ensure that we maintain global capital market access. Our trading activities in our broker-dealer entities are primarily funded on a secured basis through securities lending and repurchase agreements and these amounts will vary based on customer activity and market conditions. We believe funding these activities in the secured financing markets is less sensitive to changes in our credit ratings than unsecured financing, and more cost-efficient. For additional information on funding sources refer to Liquidity Risk - Diversified Funding Sources within the MD&A section of the March 31, 2025, Form 10-Q.

‌DERIVATIVE EXPOSURES AND POTENTIAL COLLATERAL CALLS

We enter into derivative transactions with customers to help them manage different types of risk, including risks that they may face given changes in interest rates, currency relationships, securities prices or commodities prices. In addition, we enter into derivative transactions with third parties and between affiliate legal entities to enable management of risk across the enterprise. Risk factors in derivatives activities impacting liquidity include: contractual margin asymmetries, cash and collateral outflows related to changes in the financial condition of the Corporation, counterparty behavior and valuation changes.

‌CURRENCY MISMATCH IN THE LCR

Given the nature of our business, our HQLA and net cash outflows are primarily in U.S. dollars. Additional amounts are primarily held in G7 currencies. We maintain and monitor concentrations within our funding profile, such as maturities, currencies and counterparties, and access foreign exchange markets to supplement local currency holdings to meet outflows.

‌CENTRALIZED LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT FUNCTION

We manage our liquidity position through line of business and asset-liability management activities, as well as through our legal entity funding strategy, on both a forward and current (including intraday) basis under both expected and stressed conditions. We believe that a centralized approach to funding and liquidity management enhances our ability to monitor liquidity requirements, maximizes access to funding sources, minimizes borrowing costs and facilitates timely responses to liquidity events.

We provide centralized funding and liquidity management through a variety of activities, including monitoring of established limits and liquidity risk appetites, reviews of liquidity risk management controls and production, and reviews of regulatory and internally defined liquidity risk metrics. In addition, Global Risk Management (GRM) provides oversight of centralized liquidity and funding management as well as oversight of liquidity management across front-line units and legal entities. GRM oversees the liquidity risk management governance structure, establishes liquidity risk policies, reports and monitors liquidity risk limits and provides review and challenge of the Corporation's liquidity risk management processes. Our liquidity and funding strategy and portfolio is overseen by our Asset and Liability Governance Committee (ALGC), and any significant change to strategy, framework or portfolio must be reviewed by the ALGC.
