4. Statement of Compliance

Upon consultation with the HKMA under section 16(2)(a) of the Banking (Disclosure) Rules ("BDR"), BASAL had sought consent from the HKMA to continue uploading the required financial disclosure information to the website of its ultimate parent entity, Bank of America Corporation.

It is not practicable for BASAL to disclose under section 16(FE)(1)(b) of the BDR the full terms and conditions of all of its relevant regulatory capital instruments on its internet website, since BASAL does not currently maintain its own internet website. This is the reason that led BASAL to seek the aforementioned consent form HKMA.

Herein included below is the direct link to Bank of America Corporation's internet website, whereby the full terms and conditions of all of BASAL's relevant regulatory capital instruments and financial disclosure information can be accessed.

http://investor.bankofamerica.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=71595&p=subsidiaries#fbid=eDBVweHpCCU

This information is also identical to, if not the closest available alternative to, the information which have been the subject of the required disclosures if BASAL had not been so unable to make the required disclosures on its own internet website.
