Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^® (Capped LIRNs^®) are Market-Linked Investments designed to give you an opportunity to enhance your exposure to market returns—up to a stated cap—while offering some market downside protection, or buffer, against the risk of loss. Capped LIRNs are unsecured debt securities of an issuing company that are linked to a market measure or asset, such as the S&P 500, stocks or commodities. If held to maturity, Capped LIRNs may pay as much as twice the return of the linked market measure up to the stated cap on the upside, but they do not pay interest and involve risk to principal if the linked market measure declines by an amount greater than the buffer. Downside exposure is typically on a one-to-one basis beyond the buffer, depending on the terms of the particular Capped LIRN. Any returns on Capped LIRNs, including any repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of the issuer.

Capped LIRNs are available in $10 increments (a minimum purchase of $1,000 required), with maturities ranging from one to three years. They can be purchased in new issue offerings or in the secondary market. They are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may not be listed on any securities exchange.

How can Capped LIRNs play a role in my investment strategy?

Capped LIRNs are designed to help enhance returns in moderately positive markets related to the linked market measure, while offering market downside protection, or a buffer, against potential losses. If you already have exposure to a variety of asset classes, such as large- and small-cap stocks and different types of commodities, Capped LIRNs provide a way to diversify your investment vehicles for holding those asset classes.

They are similar to another Market-Linked Investment, LIRNs, but limit returns to a stated cap.

What advantages do Capped LIRNs provide?

§ Opportunity for enhanced return. At maturity, you have the opportunity to receive typically two times any positive return of the linked market measure, up to a stated cap on that upside. For example, if your Capped LIRN comes with a cap of 16%, and the linked market measure has increased by 5% at maturity, your return on the Capped LIRN will be 10%. If the linked market measure has increased by 9% at maturity, your return on the Capped LIRN will be capped at 16%.

§ Limited market downside exposure. Regardless of how the linked market measure performs, you will receive at least a portion of the principal of the note back at maturity,

subject to the credit risk of the issuer. For example, if your Capped LIRN has a 10% buffer, the linked market measure would have to decline by 11% for you to experience a 1% loss, with up to 90% of your principal at risk.

§ Diversification. Capped LIRNs provide an alternative means of getting exposure to a wide variety of asset classes.

§ Simplification. Because Market-Linked Investments like Capped LIRNs offer investors a single packaged solution, they may reduce the complicated financial, tax, legal and operational issues surrounding the execution of sophisticated investment strategies.

§ Complement to a long-term strategy. Capped LIRNs may provide a way to enhance returns in moderate markets, protect your investment from minor market declines and keep you on track toward meeting long-term financial objectives.

What risks do Capped LIRNs carry?

§ Lower returns and loss of principal. If the linked market measure does not perform well, you could experience lower returns than you anticipated or than could have been received from an investment in a conventional bond. Because returns are limited by a cap, your returns could be lower than returns from a direct investment in the linked market measure. You can lose a significant amount of your principal. A buffer provides market downside protection only up to a point. For example, for Capped LIRNs with a 10% buffer, you’re at risk of losing up to 90% of your principal.

§ Credit risk. Any payments due on Capped LIRNs are subject to the credit risk of the particular issuer. If the issuer goes bankrupt or is unable to pay its debts, you could lose all of your investment, even if the underlying market measure performs well. Capped LIRNs are unsecured and are not backed by FDIC insurance or other governmental support.

§ Secondary market risks. You may not be able to sell your Capped LIRN in the secondary market, and Merrill Lynch

is not obligated to purchase them from you. The price at which you may be able to sell your Capped LIRN may be lower than the price you paid for a number of reasons, including changes in the linked market measure’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer, the cost of developing, hedging and distributing the Capped LIRNs, and the issuer’s borrowing rate for issuing Market-Linked Investments.

§ Specific risks of the linked market measure. There are specific risks associated with the linked market measure. You should be familiar with these risks before investing.

§ Tax consequences. The appreciation on the Capped LIRNs will generally be taxed as capital gains. The U.S. federal tax treatment is uncertain, and you should consult your own tax advisor before investing.

What charges do I pay when purchasing a Capped LIRN, and how does Merrill Lynch benefit?

The $10 per unit you pay for a newly issued Capped LIRN includes compensation to Merrill Lynch for distributing the Capped LIRN and may include an estimated profit credited to Merrill Lynch from related hedging arrangements associated with the Capped LIRNs. These fees and charges, as well as the rate at which the issuer borrows funds under the Capped LIRN, reduce the economic terms of the Capped LIRN to you and result in its estimated initial value being less than the offering price. This is discussed in more detail in the offering documents. If you buy or sell Capped LIRNs on the secondary market, you may pay trading commissions and markups.

The trading, hedging and investment activities conducted by Merrill Lynch and its affiliated companies in the ordinary course of business may affect the return on the Capped LIRNs. When they’re issued by Bank of America Corporation (the parent company of Merrill Lynch), the proceeds will be used for the company’s operating or funding needs.
