You are correct though that the $50 Billion offer was based on the share price at the time and is adjusting depending on the share price.

I thought the agreement was 0.86 shares of BAC per 1 share of MER. If BAC is currently at ~26.50, doesn't that value MER at roughly 22-23/share? Do we have a closing date for the agreement yet? I haven't seen anything specifically mentioned. Is this actually a $50B deal, or is that just the number that everyone was quoting before BAC had 20% chopped off the top earlier today?

I guess this means good news for you knowing that you do not have to worry about your bank going under. Anyone a Bank of America client?
