 MERRILL LYNCH MARKET-LINKED  INVESTMENTS

Market-Linked Investments are designed to meet specific investment objectives. Market-Linked Investments are unsecured debt securities of the applicable issuer. The return on these investments comes mainly from the performance of the underlying asset or assets to which they are linked. The assets can include equity securities, commodities and currencies or a combination of these assets. Market-Linked Investments can accommodate investors with various types of risk and reward profiles.

This Market-Linked Investments Monthly Guidebook describes certain preliminary terms of the Market-Linked Investments offered during the month. It is not a preliminary prospectus and does not contain all of the material terms of, or risks related to, the Market-Linked Investments offered. You should read the preliminary term sheet for the specific Market-Linked Investment and the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus (collectively referred to as the “preliminary offering documents”) before investing. The following pages contain hyperlinks to the preliminary offering documents for Market-Linked Investments that we are offering this month. You may also find copies of all the preliminary offering documents for this month’s Market-Linked Investment offerings at: http://wealthmanagement.ml.com/publish/mkt/prospectus/prospectus.htm

 FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING MARKET-

 LINKED INVESTMENTS

Market-Linked Investments may not be suitable for all investors. Different Market-Linked Investments have different payout characteristics, risks and rewards. Investors must understand the characteristics, risks and rewards of each Market-Linked Investment as well as those of the underlying asset before making a decision to invest. Prior to investing, investors should carefully read the related prospectus, which contains a detailed explanation of the terms of the specific offering as well as the risks, tax treatment and other relevant information about the investment and the applicable issuer. Additionally, investors should consult their accounting, legal and tax advisors before investing.

Risk considerations

— Depending on the features associated with the Market-Linked Investment, risks may include loss of principal and the possibility that investors will own the underlying asset at maturity at a price that is less than the original principal amount invested. Market-Linked Investments may also cap or limit the upside participation in an underlying asset.

— Some Market-Linked Investments may not provide interest or coupon payments.

— Any payments due on Market-Linked Investments, including Market Downside Protected Market-Linked Investments, are subject to the credit risk of the applicable issuer. If the applicable issuer is unable to make payments on its obligations, you may lose all or substantially all of your investment. You should not invest in the applicable Market-Linked Investment if you are not willing to make an investment in which the payments depend on the creditworthiness of the applicable issuer.

— Factors that may affect the value of Market-Linked Investments include, but are not limited to: interest rates, volatility of the underlying asset, liquidity and time remaining until maturity of the investment.

— While some Market-Linked Investments may pay interest similar to comparable fixed income securities, they often exhibit very different profit and loss potential. Any yield paid on Market-Linked Investments may be lower than the yield on other debt securities of comparable maturity of the same issuer.

— Affiliates of Bank of America Corporation or the issuer may maintain a secondary market; however, they are not obligated to do so. There may be no trading market for any Market-Linked Investment, and you may not be able to sell your Market-Linked Investment prior to maturity.
