Abstract: We believe that Bank of America may need to rebuild its capitalization given our expectation for credit losses. We are placing our ratings on Bank of America on CreditWatch with negative implications.

The rating could be lowered by one or more notches, or be affirmed with a negative outlook. On May 4, 2009, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'A/A-1'
