Summary

The Accelerated Return NotesSM Linked to the PHLX Semiconductor SectorSM Index due January     , 2009 (the “Notes”) are senior, unsecured debt securities of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. that provide a leveraged return for investors, subject to a cap, if the level of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (Bloomberg Symbol “SOX <Index>“) (the “Index”) increases moderately from the Starting Value of the Index, determined on the Pricing Date, to the Ending Value of the Index, determined on valuation dates shortly prior to the maturity date of the Notes. Investors must be willing to forego interest payments on the Notes and willing to accept a return that is capped or a repayment that is less, and potentially significantly less, than the original public offering price of the Notes.

Hypothetical Payout Profile

 

LOGO   

This graph reflects the hypothetical returns on the Notes, assuming a Capped Value of 18.00%, the midpoint of the range of 16.00% and 20.00%. The orange line reflects the hypothetical returns on the Notes, while the dotted blue line reflects the hypothetical return of an investment in the Index excluding dividends.

 

This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual Ending Value, Capped Value and the term of your investment.

 

Hypothetical Payments at Maturity

Examples

Set forth below are three examples of payment at maturity calculations, assuming a hypothetical Starting Value of 500.09, the level of the Index on September 28, 2007 and a Capped Value of $11.80, the midpoint of the range of $11.60 and $12.00.

Example 1—The hypothetical Ending Value is 80% of the hypothetical Starting Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value: 500.09

Hypothetical Ending Value: 400.07

 

$10 ×  

(

 

 

 

400.07

 

 

 

)

 

  =  $8.00     
   

500.09

     

Payment at maturity (per unit) = $8.00

Example 2—The hypothetical Ending Value is 103% of the hypothetical Starting Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value: 500.09

Hypothetical Ending Value: 515.09

 

$10 +  

(

 

  $30 x  

(

 

 

515.09 - 500.09

 

 

 

)

 

 

)

 

  =  $10.90  
       

500.09

       

Payment at maturity (per unit) = $10.90

Example 3—The hypothetical Ending Value is 120% of the hypothetical Starting Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value: 500.09

Hypothetical Ending Value: 600.11

 

$10 +  

(

 

  $30 x  

(

 

 

600.11 - 500.09

 

 

 

)

 

 

)

 

  =  $16.00  
        500.09        

Payment at maturity (per unit) = $11.80        (Payment at maturity cannot be greater than the Capped Value)

(1) The annualized rates of return specified in this column are calculated on a semiannual bond equivalent basis and assume an investment term from October 1, 2007 to December 14, 2008, a term expected to be similar to that of the Notes.

 

(2) This rate of return assumes:

 

  (a) a percentage change in the aggregate price of the stocks included in the Index that equals the percentage change in the level of the Index from the hypothetical Starting Value to the relevant hypothetical Ending Value;

 

  (b) a constant dividend yield of 0.84% per annum, paid quarterly from the date of initial delivery of the Notes, applied to the level of the Index at the end of each quarter assuming this value increases or decreases linearly from the hypothetical Starting Value to the applicable hypothetical Ending Value; and

 

  (c) no transaction fees or expenses.

 

(3) This is the hypothetical Starting Value, the closing level of the Index on September 28, 2007. The actual Starting Value will be determined on the Pricing Date and will be set forth in the final term sheet made available in connection with sales of the Notes.

 

(4) The total amount payable on the maturity date per unit of the Notes cannot exceed the assumed Capped Value of $11.80 (the midpoint of the range of $11.60 and $12.00).

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual amount received by you and the resulting total and pretax annualized rates of return will depend on the actual Starting Value, Ending Value, Capped Value and term of your investment.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. The following is a list of certain of the risks involved in investing in the Notes. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Notes in the “Risk Factors” sections included in the product supplement and MTN prospectus supplement identified below under “Additional Note Terms”. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Notes.

 

  Ÿ  

Your investment may result in a loss.

 

  Ÿ  

Your yield may be lower than the yield on other debt securities of comparable maturity.

 

  Ÿ  

Your return is limited and may not reflect the return on a direct investment in the stocks included in the Index.

 

  Ÿ  

You must rely on your own evaluations regarding the merits of an investment linked to the Index.

 

  Ÿ  

You will not have the right to receive cash dividends or exercise ownership rights with respect to the stocks included in the Index.

 

  Ÿ  

In seeking to provide investors with what we believe to be commercially reasonable terms for the Notes while providing MLPF&S with compensation for its services, we have considered the costs of developing, hedging and distributing the Notes. If a trading market develops for the Notes (and such a market may not develop), these costs are expected to affect the market price you may receive or be quoted for your Notes on a date prior to the stated maturity date.

 

  Ÿ  

The publisher of the Index may adjust the Index in a way that affects its level, and such publisher has no obligation to consider your interests.

 

  Ÿ  

Many factors affect the trading value of the Notes; these factors interrelate in complex ways and the effect of any one factor may offset or magnify the effect of another factor.

 

  Ÿ  

Purchases and sales by us and our affiliates may affect your return.

 

  Ÿ  

Potential conflicts of interest could arise.

 

  Ÿ  

Tax consequences are uncertain.

Additional Risk Factors

The stocks included in the Index are concentrated in one industry. All of the stocks included in the Index are issued by companies primarily involved in the design, distribution, manufacture and sale of semiconductors. As a result, the stocks that will determine the performance of the Notes are concentrated in one industry. Although an investment in the Notes will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the stocks underlying the Index, the return on an investment in the Notes will be subject to certain risks associated with direct equity investments in the semiconductor industry.

The Index is not necessarily representative of the semiconductor industry. While the stocks comprising the Index are common stocks of companies generally considered to be primarily involved in the design, distribution, manufacture and sale of semiconductors, the stocks underlying the Index and the Index may not necessarily follow the price movements of the entire semiconductor industry generally. If the stocks underlying the Index decline in value, the Index will decline in value even if common stock prices in the semiconductor industry generally increase in value.

Investor Considerations

 

You may wish to consider an investment in the Notes if:

 

Ÿ  

You anticipate that the Index will appreciate moderately from the Starting Value to the Ending Value.

 

Ÿ  

You accept that your investment may result in a loss, which could be significant, if the level of the Index decreases from the Starting Value to the Ending Value.

 

Ÿ  

You accept that the return on the Notes will not exceed the Capped Value.

 

Ÿ  

You are willing to forego interest payments on the Notes, such as fixed or floating rate interest paid on traditional interest bearing debt securities.

 

Ÿ  

You want exposure to the Index with no expectation of dividends or other benefits of owning the underlying securities.

 

Ÿ  

You are willing to accept that there is no assurance that the Notes will be listed on AMEX and that any listing will not ensure that a trading market will develop for the Notes or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

 

The Notes may not be appropriate investments for you if:

 

Ÿ  

You anticipate that the Index will depreciate from the Starting Value to the Ending Value or that the Index will not appreciate sufficiently over the term of the Notes to provide you with your desired return.

 

Ÿ  

You are seeking principal protection or preservation of capital.

 

Ÿ  

You seek a return on your investment that will not be capped at a percentage that will be between 16.00% and 20.00%.

 

Ÿ  

You seek interest payments or other current income on your investment.

 

Ÿ  

You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the stocks included in the Index.

 

Ÿ  

You want assurances that there will be a liquid market if and when you want to sell the Notes prior to maturity.


 

Other Provisions

We may deliver the Notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than three business days following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the initial settlement on the Notes occurs more than three business days from the Pricing Date, purchasers who wish to trade Notes more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The Index

PHLX Semiconductor SectorSM Index

All disclosure contained in this term sheet regarding the Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components has been derived from publicly available information prepared by the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (the “PHLX”). ML&Co. and MLPF&S have not independently verified and make no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. None of ML&Co., the calculation agent and MLPF&S accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance or publication of the PHLX Gold and Silver Sector Index or any successor index.

The PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index is designed to measure the performance of nineteen companies primarily involved in the design, distribution, manufacture and sale of semiconductors (the “Underlying Stocks”). The PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (index symbol “SOX”) is published by the PHLX and was set to 200 on December 1,1993 and was split two-for-one on July 24, 1995. Options commenced trading on the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index on September 7, 1994. The PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index is a price-weighted index. The following is a list of companies currently included in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index and their trading symbols: Altera Corporation (ALTR), Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT), Advance Microdevices, Inc. (AMD), Broadcom Corporation (BRCM), Infineon Technologies AG (IFX), Intel Corporation (INTC), KLA-Tencor Corporation (KLAC), Linear Technology Corporation (LLTC), Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (MRVL), Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (MXIM), National Semiconductor Corporation (NSM), Novellus Systems, Inc. (NVLS), SanDisk Corporation (SNDK), STMicroelectronics NV (STM), Teradyne, Inc. (TER), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM), Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) and Xilinx, Inc. (XLNX).

The PHLX Semiconductor Index is calculated by adding the prices of the component stocks and dividing by the base market divisor, without regard to capitalization. Typically, the higher priced and more volatile constituent issues will exert a greater influence over the movement of a price-weighted index. The value calculation is described by the following formula:

Total of all Component Prices

Base Market Divisor

The base market divisor, an element in the calculation of the PHLX Semiconductor Index, may be adjusted periodically as the companies that comprise the PHLX Semiconductor Index merge, issue additional stock, or are removed because they no longer reflect the particular group or are no longer traded on a national securities exchange. One of the companies currently included in the PHLX Semiconductor Index, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim”), has filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission that states, in part, that, due to a delayed filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, it has received a “Nasdaq Staff Determination notice indicating that Maxim is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing”. We cannot predict whether Maxim or other companies currently included in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index will maintain their current listings.

The PHLX is under no obligation to continue the calculation and dissemination of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index. The Notes are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the PHLX. No inference should be drawn from the information contained in this term sheet that the PHLX makes any representation or warranty, implied or express, to ML&Co., the holder of the Notes or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Notes in particular or the ability of the Notes to track general stock market performance. The PHLX has no obligation to take the needs of ML&Co. or the holder of the Notes into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index. The PHLX is not responsible for, and has not participated in the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the Notes to be issued or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the Notes are to be settled in cash. The PHLX has no obligation or liability in connection with the administration or marketing of the Notes.

The level of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index is reported on Bloomberg under the symbol “SOX”.

None of ML&Co., MLPF&S and PHLX accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance or publication of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index or any successor index. PHLX disclaims all responsibility for any errors or omissions in the calculation and dissemination of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index or the manner in which the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index is applied in determining any Starting Value or Ending Value or any amount payable to you on the maturity date of the Notes.

Historical Data on the Index

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Index (as obtained from Bloomberg) in the period from January 2002 through September 2007. This historical data on the Index is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Index or what the value of the Notes may be. Any historical upward or downward trend in the value of the Index during any period set forth below is not an indication that the Index is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time over the term of the Notes. On September 28, 2007, the closing level of the Index was 500.09.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations

Set forth below is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the Notes. The following summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the discussion under the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement ARN-3 and MTN prospectus supplement, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the Notes.

General. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing or involving the characterization and treatment, for United States federal income tax purposes, of the Notes or securities with terms substantially the same as the Notes. Accordingly, the proper United States federal income tax characterization and treatment of the Notes is uncertain. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, ML&Co. and every holder of a Note agree (in the absence of an administrative determination, judicial ruling or other authoritative guidance to the contrary) to characterize and treat a Note for all tax purposes as a pre-paid cash-settled forward contract linked to the level of the Index. Due to the absence of authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the Notes, significant aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes are not certain, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts will agree with the characterization and tax treatment described above. Accordingly, prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes (including alternative characterizations and tax treatments of the Notes) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Payment on the Maturity Date. Assuming that the Notes are properly characterized and treated as pre-paid cash-settled forward contracts linked to the level of the Index, upon the receipt of cash on the maturity date of the Notes, a U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement ARN-3) will recognize gain or loss. The amount of such gain or loss will be the extent to which the amount of the cash received differs from the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a Note generally will equal the amount paid by the U.S. Holder to purchase the Note. It is uncertain whether any such gain or loss would be treated as ordinary income or loss or capital gain or loss. Absent a future clarification in current law (by an administrative determination, judicial ruling or otherwise), where required, ML&Co. intends to report any such gain or loss to the IRS in a manner consistent with the treatment of such gain or loss as capital gain or loss. If such gain or loss is treated as capital gain or loss, then any such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year as of the maturity date.

Sale or Exchange of the Notes. Assuming that the Notes are properly characterized and treated as pre-paid cash-settled forward contracts linked to the level of the Index, upon a sale or exchange of a Note prior to the maturity date of the Notes, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note so sold or exchanged. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year as of the date of such sale or exchange.

Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences, in light of their particular circumstances, under the laws of the United States and any other taxing jurisdiction, of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes. See the discussion under the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement ARN-3.

Experts

The consolidated financial statements, the related financial statement schedule, and management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting incorporated in this term sheet by reference from ML&Co.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2006 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports, which are incorporated herein by reference (which reports (1) express an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule and include an explanatory paragraph regarding the change in accounting method in 2006 for share-based payments to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (2) express an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and (3) express an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting), and have been so incorporated in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006, and the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 which are incorporated herein by reference, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their reports included in ML&Co.’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2007 and June 29, 2007 (which reports include an explanatory paragraph regarding the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement”, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” and FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.) and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information because those reports are not “reports” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
