It is no longer BofA's choice. They are locked in, having extended the exchange offer.

If anyone can come to my rescue here, I'd be very appreciative. There's even a reward: I'll send the first person who responds a signed copy of Financial Fine Print. Thx!

But it is clear they are not backing out. They have issued an offering document to CW shareholder for the exchange of thier shares into BofA at the agreed upon ratio. I don't understand why there are still people out there saying BofA will back out or reprice. If this were the case the exchange offer would not be out there. Get a clue. The deal is moving forward.
