Bank of America Offers to Buy MBIA Bonds to Avoid Debt Amendment
By Charles Mead - Nov 13, 2012 2:21 PM ET

Bank of America Corp. (BAC) offered to buy outstanding bonds of MBIA Inc. to block the insurer’s efforts to distance itself from a cash-strapped unit.

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based lender said it would pay par for MBIA’s $329 million of 5.7 percent senior notes due in 2034 tendered by Nov. 27, and $950 between then and Dec. 11, according to a statement today. MBIA shares dropped 7.9 percent to $7.75 at 2:19 p.m. in New York.

Completion of the offer is conditioned on a majority of the bonds being tendered, the bank said in the statement.
