As part of the case's settlement earlier this year, the bank agreed to pay $150 million into a "fair fund" that will be distributed to owners of the bank's stock.
Shareholders who owned BofA stock as of January 16, 2009 are eligible for payouts from the fund, though shares received as part of the Merrill buyout are excluded from receiving compensation.
