Bank of America chairman and chief executive Kenneth Lewis said the bank's planned acquisition of Countrywide Financial Corp. "is a go" after Countrywide released earnings Tuesday morning. Speaking at a Citigroup investors conference, Mr. Lewis said Countrywide's fourth-quarter financial results, which revealed higher credit costs and a loss, were in line with Bank of America's due diligence and offering price. "At this point, everything is a go for completing this transaction," Mr. Lewis said. He also said Countrywide's year-end results showed improvement in its underlying mortgage business.
