Bank of America-Merrill Lynch
By: Guhan Subramanian and Charlotte Krontiris
Abstract
The case traces the events leading up to the acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America at the height of the recent financial crisis. It examines the interplay of public and private sector actors in this extraordinary time, focusing on the decisions that confronted Bank of America's board as Merrill Lynch's losses mounted in the months before the deal's close.
