BofA Global Capital Management Focuses on Managing Exposure to Eurozone Debt Despite recent actions by policymakers to resolve the European debt crisis, the global financial markets continue to be negatively impacted by concerns regarding Eurozone financial institutions and sovereigns. Accordingly, in keeping with BofA Global Capital Management s conservative investment approach, we continue to manage the BofA Funds exposure to Eurozone debt by leveraging a multi layer risk management infrastructure that incorporates three sources of expertise: 1. Credit Research BofA Global Capital Management has a dedicated credit research team focused solely on evaluating the risks embedded in short term debt issues. Our research analysts rigorously assess the credit quality of issuers in all sectors of the short term debt markets, while also dissecting the risks presented by individual credits. 2. Portfolio Management The BofA Funds senior portfolio managers continually monitor and adjust the Funds exposures to ensure their risk profiles are in keeping with BofA Global Capital Management s strong emphasis on principal preservation. 3. Corporate Risk Management Bank of America s Global Risk Management group provides an independent, objective assessment of the BofA Funds exposures. Working closely with BofA Global Capital Management s investment teams, the Bank s global risk team conducts frequent stress tests of the BofA Funds portfolios to gauge their resilience to macroeconomic and market events. As we continue to navigate a difficult market environment, with additional rating downgrades expected by the credit rating agencies, we have further updated our Eurozone debt exposure bulletin to distinguish between sovereign and government related exposure and exposure related to private or non sovereign or government related entities, in order to provide the most transparent and accurate breakdown of our funds to our investors. In managing the risks presented by the challenges in Europe, we consider four categories of exposure in the BofA Funds: sovereign and government related exposure through investments in securities of a country, a government related entity or a municipal security with a letter of credit from a government entity. private related exposure through investments in banks, non financial corporate debt or in municipal securities backed by a letter of credit and collateralized repurchase agreements. sovereign and government related exposure through investments in asset backed commercial paper (ABCP) conduits or other types of issuers backed by a government entity or government related state issuers. private related exposure through investments such as an asset backed commercial paper (ABCP) conduit or other types of issuers not backed by a sovereign or government related entity or municipal securities without a direct letter of credit. The tables on the following pages outline our Eurozone debt exposure by country of risk as a percentage of the funds assets, as of November 22, 2013. BofA Global Capital Management remains confident that our conservative approach to investing, our deep research and risk management expertise, and our focus on cash investing help position us to maintain the stability of the BofA Funds despite the market turbulence fueled by the European debt crisis. Naturally, we will continue to provide you with information on market developments that significantly impact your investments with us. If you have any questions about your fund(s), please contact your client service officer or sales representative. Institutional Investors 800.353.0828 Retail Investors 888.331.0904

Note: BofA Treasury Reserves, BofA Government Reserves and BofA Government Reserves Plus do not own Eurozone debt securities. Please read and consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses for any fund carefully before investing. For a prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the fund, contact your BofA Global Capital Management representative or financial advisor or go to www.bofacapital.com. An investment in money market mutual funds is not insured or guaranteed by Bank of America, N.A. or its affiliates, or by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market mutual funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in money market mutual funds. Portfolio holdings are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings. Current and future holdings are subject to risk, including, but not limited to, market and credit risk. Investing in fixed income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yields and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa. Tax exempt investing offers current tax exempt income, but it also involves special risks. Single state municipal bonds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification. Interest income from certain tax exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Any capital gains distributed are taxable to the investor. International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These include, for instance, risks related to fluctuations in value of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of other currencies, custody arrangements made for a fund's foreign holdings, political and economic risk, differences in accounting procedures, and the lesser degree of public information required to be provided by non U.S. companies. Foreign securities may also be less liquid, more volatile and harder to value, and may be subject to additional risks relating to U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. These risks are heightened when the issuer of the securities is in a country with an emerging capital market. For investments in ABCPs, generally, when interest rates decline, prepayments accelerate beyond the initial pricing assumptions, which could cause the average life and expected maturity of the securities to shorten. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments slow down beyond the initial pricing assumptions, and could cause the average life and expected maturity of the securities to extend, and the market value to decline.
