Medium-Term Notes, Series C

Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Asian Equity Index Basket due June 20, 2008

(the “Notes”)

___________________________

General

 

The Notes are designed for investors who seek a return of two times the appreciation of the Asian Equity Index Basket (a basket consisting of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 IndexSM, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the KOSPI 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwan IndexSM and the MSCI Singapore IndexSM up to a maximum total return on the Notes at maturity (which maximum will be capped at not less than 115% of their initial investment). Investors are protected against up to a 10% decline of the value of the Basket (as defined below) but will lose some or all of their principal if the value of the Basket declines by more than 10%. Investors should be willing to forgo interest payments and, if the value of the Basket declines be willing to lose some or all of their principal.

 

  The Notes will be senior unsecured debt securities of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“ML&Co.”), maturing June 20, 2008.

 

  The Notes will be issued in denominations of $50,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

 

The Notes are expected to price on or about June 8, 2007 and are expected to settle on or about June 13, 2007.

Key Terms

Basket:   The Asian Equity Index Basket (the “Basket”) consisting on the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the KOSPI 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index.
Index Weightings:   The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index weighting is 16.50%; the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index weighting is 22.00%; the KOSPI 200 Index weighting is 29.65%; the MSCI Taiwan Index weighting is 21.75%; and the MSCI Singapore Index weighting is 10.10%.
Payment at Maturity:   If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Initial Basket Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount per Note equal to the Basket Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the Notes. The Maximum Total Return on the Notes will be set on the Pricing Date and will not be less than 15.00%. For example, if the Basket Return is 7.50% or more, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the Note (assuming a 15.00% maximum). A Maximum Total Return of 15.00% would entitle you to receive a maximum payment of $1,150 for every $1,000 principal amount per Note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount per Note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return: $1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return x 2)]
  Your principal investment is protected against a decline in the Basket Return up to 10%. If the Ending Basket Level is equal to the Initial Index Level or declines from the Initial Basket Level by 10% or less, you will receive the principal amount of your Notes at maturity. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Initial Basket Level by more than 10%, for every 1% decline of the value of the Basket from the Initial Basket Level beyond 10% you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your Notes multiplied by 1.1111, and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount per Note will be calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x (Basket Return + 10%) x 1.1111)
  You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity at an accelerated rate of 1.1111 times losses in excess of the 10% buffer if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Initial Basket Level by more than 10%.
Buffer:   10%
Basket Return   The performance of the Basket from the Initial Basket Level to the Ending Basket Level, calculated as follows:
 

LOGO

Initial Basket Level:   The Basket closing level (as defined herein) on the Pricing Date.
Ending Basket Level:           The arithmetic average of the Basket closing levels on each of the five Averaging Dates.
Pricing Date:   June 8, 2007
Averaging Dates:   Each business day from and including June 11, 2008 to and including June 17, 2008
Maturity Date:   June 20, 2008
CUSIP:   59018YE98

Hypothetical Total Return Calculations

The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the Notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing (a) the payment at maturity (per $1,000 principal amount Note) either in excess of or less than $1,000 to (b) $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an Initial Basket Level of 100 and a Maximum Total Return on the Notes of 15.00%. The Initial Basket Level and the Maximum Total Return used for purposes of these examples, and the hypothetical total returns set forth below, are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent the actual Initial Basket Level and Maximum Total Return (each of which will be determined on the Pricing Date) or the actual total return that will be received by purchasers of the Notes. The Basket closing level as of the close of business on May 30, 2007 was 100. The numbers appearing in the following table, graph and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Table of Contents

Examples

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated, assuming a hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 15.00%.

Example 1—The level of the Basket increases from an Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 120. Because the Basket Return of 20% multiplied by two exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 15.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount Note, the maximum payment on the Notes.

 

  $1,000 + [$1,000 x (20% x 2)] = $1,400 = $1,150   

(Payment at maturity cannot

exceed the hypothetical

Maximum Total Return)

Example 2—The level of the Basket increases from an Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Initial Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return of 5% multiplied by two does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 15.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 2)] = $1,100

Example 3—The level of the Basket decreases from an Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 90. Because the Ending Basket Level of 90 is less than the Initial Basket Level by not more than 10% the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

Example 4—The level of the Basket decreases from an Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 70. Because the Ending Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by more than 10%, the Basket Return is negative and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $777.78 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

$1,000 + ($1,000 x (-30% + 10%) x 1.1111) = $777.78

Selected Purchase Considerations

Appreciation Potential:   The Notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Basket Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the Notes. The Maximum Total Return on the Notes will be set on the Pricing Date but will not be less than 15.00%. Because the Notes are our senior unsecured debt securities, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

Limited Protection Against Loss: Payment at maturity of the principal amount of the Notes is protected against a decline in the Ending Basket Level, as compared to the Initial Basket Level, of up to 10%. If the Ending Basket Level declines by more than 10%, for every 1% decline of the Index beyond 10%, you will lose an amount equal to 1.1111% of the principal amount of your Notes.

Diversification Among The Basket Component Indices: The return on the Notes is linked to a basket consisting of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the KOSPI 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index (each a “Basket Component Index” and together the “Basket Component Indices”). The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index is based on the capitalization of 30 stocks actively traded on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. and is designed to represent a substantial segment of the Hong Kong stock market. The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is a stock index calculated and published by FTSE/Xinhua Index Limited, and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors. It is currently based on the largest and the most liquid Chinese stocks listed and trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. The KOSPI 200 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 200 Korean blue-chip stocks which make up a large majority of the total market value of the Korea Stock Exchange (“KSE”). The MSCI Taiwan Index, which is calculated by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”), is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index of securities listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The MSCI Taiwan Index has a base date of December 31, 1987 and, as of April 30, 2007, the MSCI Taiwan Index contained 104 securities with a total free-float adjusted market capitalization of US$301.012 billion. The MSCI Singapore Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is calculated by MSCI and designed to measure equity market performance in Singapore. The MSCI Singapore has been calculated since January 1, 1969 and, as of April 30, 2007 the MSCI Singapore Index contained 39 securities with a total free-float adjusted market capitalization of US$140.055 billion. For additional information about each Basket Component Index, see the information set forth under “The Basket—The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index,” “The Basket —The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index,” “The Basket—The KOSPI 200 Index” and “The Basket—The MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index” in the accompanying product supplement no. REN-6.

An investment in the Notes does not entitle you to any dividends, voting rights or any other ownership interest in the stocks of the companies included in any of the Basket Component Indices.

Tax Treatment:   You should review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement no. REN-6 and MTN prospectus supplement. The pricing of the Notes is subject to delivery of an opinion of our

 

TS-4


Table of Contents

tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, that there exists a reasonable basis to characterize and treat the Notes as pre-paid cash-settled forward contracts linked to the level of the Basket for United States federal income tax purposes. The opinion will be subject to the limitations described in the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in product supplement no. REN-6 and will be based on certain factual representations to be received from us on or prior to the Pricing Date. Assuming this characterization and tax treatment is respected, absent a future clarification in current law (by an administrative determination, judicial ruling or otherwise), where required, ML&Co. intends to report your gain or loss on the Notes as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the Notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Notes at the issue price. However, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may not respect this characterization and tax treatment of the Notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Notes could be significantly and adversely affected. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of the Notes, including possible alternative characterizations and tax treatments.

Selected Risk Factors

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket Component Indices or any of the component stocks of the Basket Component Indices. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. REN-6 and MTN prospectus supplement.

Your investment may result in a loss

You will not receive interest on the Notes and we will not repay to you a fixed amount of principal on the Notes on the maturity date. The payment on the maturity date will depend on the change in the level of the Basket and the Maximum Total Return, which will not be less than 15.00%. Because the level of the Basket is subject to market fluctuations, the payment you receive on the maturity date may be more or less than the $1,000 principal amount Note. You will lose some or all of your investment on the maturity date if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Initial Basket Level by more than the buffer amount

Your return is limited and will not reflect the return on a direct investment in the stocks included in the Basket Component Indices

The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the level of the Basket through an investment in the Notes is limited because the amount you receive at maturity will never exceed the Maximum Total Return, which will be set on the Pricing Date and represents a predetermined percentage of the principal amount. However, if the level of the Basket declines on a percentage basis by more than the buffer, you will realize a percentage decline on the Notes greater than the percentage decline on the Basket in excess of the buffer. In addition, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other ownership rights in the stocks comprising the Basket Component Indices, and your return on the Notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the common stocks of the companies included in the Basket Component Indices and received the dividends paid on those stocks.

Your return, which could be negative, may be lower than the return on other debt securities of comparable maturity

The return that you will receive on your Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. Your return may be less than the return you would earn if you bought a traditional interest bearing debt security of ML&Co. with the same stated maturity date. Your investment may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money. Unlike traditional interest bearing debt securities, the Notes do not guarantee the return of a principal amount on the maturity date.

A trading market for the Notes is not expected to develop and the terms of the Notes may affect the secondary market price of the Notes

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a trading market for the Notes to develop. The limited trading market for the Notes may adversely affect the price that an investor receives for their Notes if they do not wish to hold their investment until the maturity date.

In determining the economic terms of the Notes, and consequently the potential return on the Notes to you, a number of factors are taken into account. Among these factors are certain costs associated with creating, hedging and offering the Notes. In structuring the economic terms of the Notes, we seek to provide investors with what we believe to be commercially reasonable terms and to provide our affiliate MLPF&S with compensation for its services in developing the securities. The price, if any, at which you could sell your Notes in a secondary market transaction is expected to be adversely affected by the factors that we considered in setting the economic terms of the Notes, namely the underwriting discount paid in respect of the Notes and other costs associated with the Notes, and compensation for developing and hedging the product.

Table of Contents

The Index Return for the Notes will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates

The stocks composing the Basket Component Indices are traded in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The Notes, which are linked to the level of the Basket, are denominated in U.S. dollars. The amount payable on the Notes on the maturity date will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the stocks composing the Basket Component Indices are denominated and so the return you receive on the Notes may be adversely affected by changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and such other currencies.

The trading value of the Notes will be affected by factors that interrelate in complex ways

The effect of one factor may offset the increase in the trading value of the Notes caused by another factor, and the effect of one factor may exacerbate the decrease in the trading value of the Notes caused by another factor. In addition to certain other factors described in the accompanying product supplement no. REN-6, these factors include, changes in (i) the level of the Basket, (ii) interest rates, (iii) the volatility of the level of the Basket, (iv) dividend yields on the stocks included in the Basket Component Indices and (v) the credit rating of ML&Co.

Role of our subsidiary

MLPF&S, our subsidiary, is our agent for the purposes of calculating the Basket closing level, the Ending Basket Level and the payment on the maturity date. Under certain circumstances, MLPF&S as our subsidiary and due to its responsibilities as calculation agent for the Notes could give rise to conflicts of interest. MLPF&S is required to carry out its duties as calculation agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment. However, because we control MLPF&S, potential conflicts of interest could arise. MLPF&S may also provide a hedge to us against the market risks associated with our obligations under the terms of the Notes and MLPF&S or its affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with one or more of the companies included in the Basket Component Indices including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, those companies or providing advisory services to those companies, including merger and acquisition advisory services.

Tax consequences are uncertain

You should consider the tax consequences of investing in the Notes, aspects of which are uncertain. See the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement no REN-6.

The offering of the Notes may be terminated before the Pricing Date

This term sheet has not been reviewed by our tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, and the pricing of the offering of the Notes is subject to delivery by them of an opinion regarding the tax treatment of the Notes as described under “Tax Treatment” above. If our tax counsel does not deliver this opinion prior to the Pricing Date, the offering of the Notes will be terminated.

Basket Closing Level:    For each of the Averaging Dates, the Basket Closing Level will be calculated as follows:
   100 x [1 + ((AMEX Hong Kong Return * AMEX Hong Kong Weighting) + (FTSE/Xinhua Return * FTSE/Xinhua Weighting) + (KOSPI Return * KOSPI Weighting) + (MSCI Taiwan Return * MSCI Taiwan Weighting) + (MSCI Singapore Return * MSCI Singapore Weighting))]
   The returns set forth in the formula above reflect the performance of each Basket Index, expressed as a percentage, from the closing level on the pricing date to the closing level on the relevant Averaging Date.
