NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 12/07/11 — IPIC Group Ltd. today announced that it has terminated its partial tender offer for up to 500 million shares of Bank of America common stock, effective immediately. The termination of the offer follows Bank of America-s announcement that it is advising shareholders to reject the offer, which, if fully consummated, would have made IPIC the bank-s largest institutional shareholder.
IPIC-s offer was conditioned on, among other things, the lack of any downgrade of the bank-s credit rating. IPIC is exercising its right to terminate the offer on the basis that Bank of America-s issuer credit rating was cut by Standard & Poor-s Ratings Service on November 29, 2011.
