Buys Merrill for $50 Billion


Bank of America to Acquire Merrill Lynch for $50 Billion

Brokerage House Rescued

Bank of America announced Monday morning that it would buy the ailing Merrill Lynch, in an all stock transaction worth approximately $50 billion. The purchase will make Bank of America a direct rival of Citigroup Inc., in terms of size of assets.

Under the terms of the deal, Merrill Lynch shares are valued at $29 per share, a 70 percent premium over the closing price of the brokerage's shares on Friday. However, it is drastically less than the $98 per share Merrill Lynch was trading at in 2007.

While the merger is seen as beneficial to both institutions, it could result in more layoffs; both companies have cut thousands of jobs in the past 12 months.
