据知情人士透露，美国监管部门已经告知美国银行(Bank of America)，根据政府压力测试得出的结论，该公司需要筹集大约350亿美元资本。周二晚间尚无法确定美国银行所需注资的确切数额。美国银行的管理人士或拒绝置评，或无法联系。Reuters美国银行首席执行长刘易斯监管部门周二开始向接受政府压力测试的19家金融公司通知测试结果。周四股市收盘后可能会正式宣布测试结果。对美国资产最大的银行美国银行来说，政府的结论可能会引发该行如何填补资本缺口的一场混乱。这家总部位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的银行已经从联邦政府那里得到了450亿美元的资本，其中部分资金用于帮助该银行填补今年1月收购美林公司(Merrill Lynch)所带来的损失。美国银行如今需要筹集的资金可能会超过该行通过出售资产或公开增发股份所能筹到的资金规模。因此，美国银行可能别无选择，只能将政府所持的优先股转化为普通股。此举或能将美国银行的资本提高到监管部门要求的水平，但也会导致美国政府成为美国银行的最大股东之一。在这一过程中，现有股东所持股票的价值可能会被显著稀释。美国银行当前的市值大约为700亿美元。Dan Fitzpatrick / Damian Paletta相关阅读美国银行考虑出售部分建行股票 2009-05-06建设银行：未接到美国银行的减持通知 2009-05-06压力测试结果表明富国银行需要增资 2009-05-05刘易斯被剥夺美国银行董事长职位 2009-04-30Fed要求花旗集团和美国银行增资 2009-04-28 本文涉及股票或公司document.write (truthmeter('2009年05月06日12:16', 'BAC'));美国银行英文名称：Bank of America Co.总部地点：美国上市地点：纽约证交所股票代码：BAC
Regulators have told Bank of America Corp. that the company needs to raise roughly $35 billion in capital based on results of the government's stress tests, according to people familiar with the situation.The exact amount of the needed infusion couldn't be determined late Tuesday, and Bank of America officials either declined to comment or couldn't be reached.Regulators began notifying the 19 financial companies subjected to the government tests of the results Tuesday.An official announcement is expected after the close of U.S. stock-market trading Thursday.At Bank of America, the government's findings are likely to set off a scramble over how to fill the capital hole at the nation's largest bank in assets.The Charlotte, N.C., bank already has received $45 billion in capital from the federal government, some of it to help the bank cover losses stemming from its purchase of securities firm Merrill Lynch & Co. in January.The amount of capital now needed by Bank of America could exceed what the bank can raise by selling assets or more shares to the public.As a result, the bank may have no choice but to convert the government's preferred shares into common stock.That would boost the company's capital to the level mandated by regulators but could also leave the U.S. government as one of Bank of America's largest shareholder.In the process, the value of the stock held by existing shareholders likely would be sharply diluted.The company's current stock-market value is about $70 billion.Dan Fitzpatrick / Damian Paletta
