This sale is currently subject to a non-binding letter of intent and there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be completed with the current purchasers, or if a sale is consummated, that it will be on the financial terms reflected in our pro forma calculations and disclosures.

(d) Conversion of $5.4 billion of Merrill Lynch's 9% Non-Voting Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into 198.0 million shares of common stock.

(e) The offering of 310,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $27.52 per share (the closing price as of July 25, 2008) for total proceeds of $8.5 billion, less $2.5 billion paid to Temasek in satisfaction of obligations under the reset provision, and including 13.5 million incremental 'if-converted' common shares to reflect the exchange for a new mandatory convertible preferred stock issuance.
