BAC Bank of America Corporation

Bank of America Corp. set its special meeting for Sept. 22 for shareholders to vote on whether Chief Executive Brian Moynihan should retain the title of chairman.

The meeting is scheduled to be held at 1 Bank of America Center Auditorium in Charlotte, N.C., at 10 a.m. ET.

The bank's board gave Mr. Moynihan the chairman title last fall, overriding a 2009 rule passed by shareholders during the financial crisis that required the two jobs be held by separate people. To do so, the board also changed the bank's bylaws, aggravating big pension funds and other institutional investors who weren't consulted in advance.
