Summary

Investors must be willing to accept a return that is capped if the Callable STRIDES are called or a repayment in shares that is valued less, and potentially significantly less, than the original public offering price of the Callable STRIDES.

Hypothetical Returns on the Maturity Date

The following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical Closing Market Prices of the Deliverable Shares on the maturity date:

This table assumes that the Callable STRIDES have not been called or redeemed prior to the maturity date and will be called by ML&Co. on the maturity date if the total annualized yield on the Callable STRIDES would otherwise be greater than 14% on the maturity date.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Callable STRIDES involves significant risks. The following is a list of certain of the risks involved in investing in the Callable STRIDES. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Callable STRIDES 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 Callable STRIDES.

Investor Considerations

Other Provisions

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 Callable STRIDES occurs more than three business days from the Pricing Date, purchasers who wish to trade Callable STRIDES more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

If you place an order to purchase these offered securities, you are consenting to each of MLPF&S and its broker-dealer affiliate First Republic Securities Company, LLC acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account. MLPF&S is acting as an underwriter and/or selling agent for this offering and will receive underwriting compensation from the issuer of the securities.

Historical Data

The following table sets forth the high and low closing prices for the calendar quarters during calendar years 2003 through the Pricing Date. On the Pricing Date, the Volume Weighted Average Price for the Deliverable Shares was $30.3773 per share. The closing prices listed below were obtained from publicly available information at Bloomberg Financial Market, rounded to two decimal places. The historical closing prices of the Deliverable Shares should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and we cannot assure you that the price of the Deliverable Shares will not decrease. In addition, we cannot assure you that the price of the Deliverable Shares will increase so that the value of the Deliverable Shares that you may receive on the stated maturity date, if not previously called by us, or redeemed, will exceed the Original Public Offering Price of the Callable STRIDES.

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 Callable STRIDES. 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 STRIDES-2 and MTN prospectus supplement, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the Callable STRIDES. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the accompanying product supplement STRIDES-2.

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 Callable STRIDES or securities with terms substantially the same as the Callable STRIDES. Accordingly, the proper United States federal income tax characterization and treatment of the Callable STRIDES is uncertain. Pursuant to the terms of the Callable STRIDES, ML&Co. and every holder of a Callable STRIDES agree (in the absence of an administrative determination, judicial ruling or other authoritative guidance to the contrary) to characterize and treat a Callable STRIDES for all tax purposes as an investment unit consisting of the following components (the “Components”): (i) a debt instrument of ML&Co. (the “Debt Instrument”) with a fixed principal amount unconditionally payable on the maturity date equal to the principal amount of the Callable STRIDES (i.e., the Original Public Offering Price) and bearing stated interest at the stated interest rate for the Callable STRIDES and (ii) a forward contract (the “Forward Contract”) pursuant to which the holder agrees to use the principal payment due on the Debt Instrument to make a payment to ML&Co. in exchange for the right to receive on the maturity date a number of Deliverable Shares equal to the then current Share Multiplier (subject to our right to cancel the Forward Contract in the event that we exercise our right to call the Callable STRIDES prior to the maturity date). Furthermore, based on ML&Co.’s determination of the relative fair market values of the Components at the time of issuance of the Callable STRIDES, ML&Co. will assign $28.04225 of the original issue price of the Callable STRIDES (i.e., the Original Public Offering Price) to the Debt Instrument and will assign $3.04225 of the original issue price of the Callable STRIDES (i.e., the Original Public Offering Price) to the Forward Contract. Based upon the foregoing, a holder who acquires a Callable STRIDES in connection with the original issuance thereof will be treated as having purchased the Debt Instrument for $28.04225 per unit and as having received an initial payment with respect to the Forward Contract in an amount equal to $3.04225 per unit.

Due to the absence of authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the Callable STRIDES, significant aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Callable STRIDES 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 Callable STRIDES (including alternative characterizations and tax treatments of the Callable STRIDES) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Possible Future Tax Law Changes

On December 7, 2007, the IRS released a notice that could possibly affect the taxation of holders of the Callable STRIDES. According to the notice, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) are actively considering, among other things, whether the holder of an instrument having terms similar to the Callable STRIDES should be required to accrue either ordinary income or capital gain (possibly in excess of any interest payments) on a current basis, and they are seeking comments on the subject. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of instruments having terms similar to the Callable STRIDES will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The IRS and the Treasury Department are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, whether the tax treatment of such instruments should vary depending upon whether or not such instruments are traded on a securities exchange, whether such instruments should be treated as indebtedness, whether the tax treatment of such instruments should vary depending upon the nature of the underlying asset, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” contained in Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended might be applied to such instruments. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, if any, of the above considerations to their investment in the Callable STRIDES. ML&Co. intends to continue to treat the Callable STRIDES for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described herein unless and until such time as the Treasury Department and IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.

Prospective purchasers of the Callable STRIDES 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 Callable STRIDES. See the discussion under the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement STRIDES-2.

Experts

The consolidated financial statements and management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 13, 2007 (“November 13, 2007 Form 8-K”) and the related financial statement schedule included in the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2006 are incorporated in this prospectus by reference, and 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, the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 which is 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 for the quarters ended March 30, 2007, included as Exhibit 99.3 in the November 13, 2007 Form 8-K, June 29, 2007, included as Exhibit 99.2 in the November 13, 2007 Form 8-K, and September 28, 2007 included in ML&Co.’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (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 (the “Act”) 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.

ANNEX A

Call Price Calculation Methodology

The Call Price is the amount of cash, per Callable STRIDES, that when discounted from the Call Date to the original issue date by a discount factor based on an annual yield to call and when added to the present value of all interest payments made through and including the applicable Call Date discounted to the original issue date by that same discount factor, will equal the original issue price.

As an example, the following steps describe the calculation of the Call Price for February 8, 2010:

The following table illustrates, for the scheduled interest payment dates and the scheduled Call Date listed, the:

This table assumes:

$25.00000 – $4.765224 = $20.234776 (the present value of the Call Price)
