Summary
This 8-K filing from Bank of America Corporation (BAC) announces a change in its Board of Directors. Susan S. Bies, a current board member, has informed the company that she will not seek re-election at the upcoming 2022 annual shareholder meeting.

This development signals a transition within the board structure.
