Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrants Employee Benefit Plans.
On May 27, 2008, Countrywide Financial Corporation (Countrywide) received notice from the trustee/administrator of the Company 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) that a blackout period for the Plan would be imposed on transactions by Plan participants involving the Countrywide Stock Fund. On June 2, 2008, Countrywide sent a notice to its directors and executive officers informing them that: (1) the Plan blackout period is expected to begin as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 27, 2008 and end the morning of July 2, 2008, and (2) the directors and executive officers generally will be unable to trade in Countrywide common stock and related equity securities during the Plan blackout period.
The Plan blackout period is being implemented to provide for the conversion of shares of Countrywide common stock into shares of Bank of America common stock held by the Countrywide Stock Fund, which will become the Bank of America Corporation Common Stock Fund, as a result of the closing of the acquisition of Countrywide by Bank of America Corporation. Access to the Countrywide Stock Fund held in accounts under the Plan will be suspended for the blackout period so that Plan participants will be unable to engage in certain transactions involving the Countrywide Stock Fund held in their Plan accounts, including exchange, distribution, contribution and loan transactions.
A copy of the blackout notice to directors and executive officers of Countrywide, which includes the information required by Rule 104(b) of Regulation BTR, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
