Set forth below are three examples of Redemption Amount calculations (rounded to two decimal places) payable at maturity, based upon the Participation Rate of 300%, a hypothetical Starting Value of 622.2797 (the closing level of the Index on April 22, 2009), and a hypothetical Capped Value of $14.90 (per unit), the midpoint of the range of $14.70 and $15.10:

Example 1—The hypothetical Ending Value is 70% of the hypothetical Starting Value:

Example 2—The hypothetical Ending Value is 104% of the hypothetical Starting Value:

Example 3—The hypothetical Ending Value is 150% of the hypothetical Starting Value:

Redemption Amount (per unit) = $14.90 (The Redemption Amount cannot be greater than the Capped Value.)

The following table illustrates, for a hypothetical Starting Value of 622.2797 (the closing level of the Index on April 22, 2009) and a range of hypothetical Ending Values of the Index:

The table below reflects the Participation Rate of 300% and a hypothetical Capped Value of $14.90 (per unit), the midpoint of the Capped Value range of $14.70 and $15.10.

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

An investment in the ARNs involves significant risks. The following is a list of certain of the risks involved in investing in the ARNs. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the ARNs in the “Risk Factors” sections included in product supplement ARN-2 and the MTN prospectus supplement identified below under “Additional Terms.” We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the ARNs.

There is no assurance that the methodology of the Index will result in the Index accurately reflecting the market value of Brent crude. The methodology and criteria used to calculate the level of the Index are designed to enable the Index to serve as a measure of the market value of Brent crude oil. However, the Index has only recently been introduced and has a limited history. It is possible that the methodology and criteria of the Index will not accurately reflect the market value of Brent crude oil and that the trading of or investments in products based on or related to the Index, such as the ARNs, will not correlate with that market value.

Higher futures prices of Brent crude oil relative to its current prices may decrease the Redemption Amount. The Index is composed of futures contracts on a single physical commodity. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts have a set expiration date and normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. In the case of the Index, as the exchange-traded futures contract comprising the Index approaches the month before expiration, it is replaced by a contract that has a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in September may specify an October expiration date. As time passes, the contract expiring in October is replaced by a contract for delivery in November. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the October contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the November contract, thereby creating a “roll yield.” There is no assurance that these markets will consistently be in backwardation or that there will be roll yield in future performance. Instead these markets may trade in “contango.” Contango (or the absence of backwardation) markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. Crude oil has historically traded in contango markets. Contango in the commodity markets would result in negative roll yields, which would adversely affect the level of the Index and the value of the ARNs.

The ARNs include the risk of concentrated positions in a single commodity. The exchange-traded physical commodities underlying the futures contracts included in the Index consist solely of a single commodity, crude oil. Accordingly, a decline in value of crude oil would adversely affect the performance of the Index. Technological advances or the discovery of new oil reserves could lead to increases in worldwide production of oil and corresponding decreases in the price of crude oil. In addition, further development and commercial exploitation of alternative energy sources, including solar, wind, or geothermal energy, could lessen the demand for crude oil products and result in lower prices. Such developments could reduce the level of the Index and cause the market price of the ARNs to decline.

The Index Manager may from time to time modify the methodology for determining the composition and calculation of the Index. Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. (the “Index Manager”), which is one of our subsidiaries, retains the discretion to modify the methodology for determining the composition and the level of the Index at any time. The Index Manager reserves the right to modify the methodology and calculation of the Index from time to time, if it believes that modifications are necessary or appropriate. It is possible that certain of these modifications will adversely affect the level of the Index and, accordingly, decrease the Redemption Amount.

The ARNs are linked to the Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra^SM Brent-4 Series Index – Excess Return and not the Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra^SM Brent-4 Series Index –- Total Return^SM. The Index reflects returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in Brent crude oil futures contracts. In contrast, the Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra^SM Brent-4 Series Index – Total Return^SM is a total return index which, in addition to reflecting the same returns of the Index, also reflects interest that could be earned on cash collateral invested in hypothetical three-month U.S. Treasury bills. Because the ARNs are linked to the Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra^SM Brent-4 Series Index – Excess Return and not the Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra^SM Brent-4 Series Index – Total Return^SM, the Redemption Amount will not reflect this total return feature.

Additional conflicts of interest may exist. One of our subsidiaries, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Limited, is the Index Publisher, and another of our subsidiaries, Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc., is the Index Manager. In certain circumstances, the Index Publisher’s and the Index Manager’s roles as our subsidiaries and their responsibilities with respect to the Index could give rise to conflicts of interest. Even though the Index will be calculated in accordance with certain principles, its calculation and maintenance require that certain judgments and decisions be made. The Index Publisher and the Index Manager will be responsible for these judgments and decisions. As a result, the determinations made by the Index Publisher and/or the Index Manager could adversely affect the level of the Index and, accordingly, decrease the Redemption Amount. In making any determination with respect to the Index, neither the Index Publisher nor the Index Manager is required to consider your interests as a holder of the ARNs.

Further, Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. faces a potential conflict of interest between its role as Index Manager and its active role in trading commodities and derivatives instruments based upon the components of the Index.

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

You anticipate that the level of the Index will increase moderately from the Starting Value to the Ending Value.

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.

You accept that the return on the ARNs will not exceed the return represented by the Capped Value.

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

You seek exposure to the Index with no expectation of the benefits of owning crude oil or the futures contracts included in or tracked by the Index.

You are willing to accept that a trading market is not expected to develop for the ARNs. You understand that secondary market prices for the ARNs, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our perceived creditworthiness.

The ARNs may not be an appropriate investment for you if:

You anticipate that the level of the Index will decrease from the Starting Value to the Ending Value or that the level of the Index will not increase sufficiently over the term of the ARNs to provide you with your desired return.

You seek principal protection or preservation of capital.

You seek a return on your investment that will not be capped at a percentage that will be between 47.00% and 51.00% over the Original Offering Price.

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

You want to have rights with respect to crude oil or the futures contracts included in or tracked by the Index.

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

We may deliver the ARNs 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 of the ARNs occurs more than three business days from the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade ARNs 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 the ARNs, 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 BAC.

MLPF&S and First Republic Securities Company, LLC, each a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”)) and will participate in the distribution of the ARNs. Accordingly, offerings of the ARNs will conform to the requirements of NASD Rule 2720. In the original offering of the ARNs, the ARNs will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 10,000 units.

MLPF&S and First Republic Securities Company, LLC may use this Note Prospectus for offers and sales in secondary market transactions and market-making transactions in the ARNs but are not obligated to engage in such secondary market transactions and/or market-making transactions. MLPF&S and First Republic Securities Company, LLC may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and any such sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of the sale.

Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra^SM Brent 4-Series Index – Excess Return

All disclosures contained in this term sheet regarding the Index, including, without limitation, its make up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, have been derived from publicly available sources. The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the Index Manager and the Index Publisher. The Index Manager and the Index Publisher have no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Index. The consequences of the Index Manager and the Index Publisher discontinuing publication of the Index are discussed in the section of product supplement ARN-2 entitled “Description of ARNs—Discontinuance of a Market Measure.” Neither we, the calculation agent, nor MLPF&S accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance, or publication of the Index or any successor index.

The Index (Bloomberg, L.P. index symbol “MLCX4COE<Index>”) is a modified version of the Merrill Lynch Commodity index eXtra (the “MLCX”), as further described below. The Index was launched in April 2007. Unlike the MLCX, the Index is a rule-driven single commodity index, and does not track the Market Sectors (as defined below) tracked by the MLCX. Instead, the Index provides long only exposure to Brent crude oil futures contracts, which are rolled over from 3rd month contracts into 4th month contracts scheduled for delivery as they approach expiration. The futures contract is rolled into the next available contract month in advance of the month in which expiration of the contract occurs during a 15 index business day period. The rolling process is spread out to limit the effect that the purchase and sale of contracts by investors who might attempt to replicate the performance of the Index might have on the market. During the 15 index business day period, up to two Brent crude oil futures contracts can be included in the Index at any one time. These contracts are traded on the ICE Futures (“ICE”) exchange.

The Index is calculated by the Index Manager based upon the official settlement or similar prices for Brent crude oil contracts posted by ICE. The Index Manager applies the daily percentage change in the prices of the contracts included in the Index to the prior trading day’s level of the Index in order to calculate the current level of the Index. The Index is calculated in the manner described in the MLCX Handbook, as modified to reflect the single commodity that the Index measures.

The MLCX was created by the Index Manager in conjunction with the Index Publisher in 2006 and is designed to provide a benchmark for the performance of the commodity market and for investment in commodities as an asset class. The MLCX is comprised of futures contracts on physical commodities. As the exchange traded futures contracts that comprise the MLCX approach the month before expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling.” The MLCX rolls over a 15-index business day period each month. The MLCX is an excess return index that factors in both price movements as well as roll yields.

The Index Manager constructed the MLCX based primarily on the liquidity of the futures contracts that comprise the MLCX and the value of the global production of each commodity included in the MLCX. The Index Manager believes that these criteria allow the MLCX to reflect the general significance of the commodities (the “MLCX Commodities”) in the global economy, differentiating between “upstream” and “downstream” commodities, with a particular emphasis on downstream commodities (i.e., those that are derived from other MLCX Commodities). The MLCX composition and weights are typically determined once a year and applied once at the start of each year in January. The methodology for determining the composition, weighting, or value of the Index and the MLCX and for calculating their levels is subject to modification by the Index Manager and Index Publisher, respectively, at any time. The Index Manager reserves the right to modify the methodology and calculation of the Index from time to time, if it believes that modifications are necessary or appropriate.

1. Liquidity – The futures contracts included in the MLCX should be sufficiently liquid to accommodate the level of trading needed to support the MLCX. The selection mechanism is therefore based primarily on liquidity.

2. Weighting – The weight of each futures contract in the MLCX should reflect the value of the global production of the related commodity, as a measure of the significance of the commodity in the global economy, with appropriate adjustments to avoid “double counting.”

3. Market Sectors – Each Market Sector should be adequately represented in the MLCX and the weights should be adjusted to maintain the integrity of the Market Sectors.

4. Rolling – Futures contracts that comprise the MLCX are rolled during a fifteen day period to limit the market impact that such contract rolls could have.

The MLCX contains six market sectors identified by the Index Manager: (1) energy; (2) base metals; (3) precious metals; (4) grains & oil seeds; (5) livestock; and (6) soft commodities & others (each a “Market Sector”). Each Market Sector is represented in the MLCX by a minimum of two and a maximum of four futures contracts, selected by liquidity.

The Index Manager initially selected a set of exchanges, on the basis of liquidity, geographical location, and commodity type (the “Selected Exchanges”). To be considered for selection, an exchange must be located in a country that is a member of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development. The exchange must also be a principal trading forum, based on relative liquidity, for U.S. dollar-denominated futures contracts on major physical commodities. The four exchanges currently are: (1) the New York Mercantile Exchange (the “NYMEX”) (NYMEX and COMEX Divisions); (2) the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (the “CME”) (CME and Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Divisions); (3) the London Metals Exchange (the “LME”); and (4) ICE (ICE and New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) Divisions).

To be an “Eligible Contract,” a commodity futures contract must satisfy all of the following requirements:

An Eligible Contract is selected for inclusion in the MLCX only after application of the requirements for a minimum and maximum number of contracts from each Market Sector. A contract that does not otherwise satisfy all of the foregoing requirements may nevertheless be included in the MLCX if the inclusion of the contract is, in the judgment of the Index Manager, necessary or appropriate to maintain the integrity of the MLCX and/or to realize the objectives of the MLCX. Every year the Index Manager will compile a list of all commodity futures contracts traded on the Selected Exchanges and a list of the Eligible Contracts that satisfy the foregoing criteria. This list will be used to determine the commodities futures contracts which will be included in the MLCX.

The Index Manager distinguishes the Eligible Contracts by their liquidity. Liquidity is measured by a contract’s Total Trading Volume and the value of that trading volume. The “Total Trading Volume” (“TTV”) with respect to each contract traded on a Selected Exchange is equal to the sum of the daily trading volumes in all expiration months of the contract on each day during the most recent twelve-month period beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30. The “Contract Size” (“CS”) is the number of standard physical units of the underlying commodity represented by one contract. For example, the Contract Size of a crude oil futures contract is 1,000 barrels. The “Average Reference Price” (“ARP”), which is used to determine the value of the Total Trading Volume, is the average of the Reference Prices of the Front-Month Contract for an MLCX contract on each Trading Day (as defined below) during the twelve-month period beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 of each year. A “Front-Month Contract” on any given day is the futures contract expiring on the first available contract expiration month after the date on which the determination is made. A “Trading Day” means any day on which the relevant Selected Exchange is open for trading. “Liquidity” (“LIQ”) is therefore equal to the Total Trading Volume, multiplied by the Contract Size with respect to each contract, multiplied by the Average Reference Price for each contract: LIQ = TTV × CS × ARP.

Once the Liquidity is determined, the Eligible Contracts are listed in order of their Liquidity, from highest to lowest. Each MLCX Market Sector must be represented by a minimum of two and a maximum of four Eligible Contracts. “Redundant Contracts” are less liquid Eligible Contracts representing a similar commodity and are excluded. For instance, the list of futures contracts that comprise the MLCX includes an Eligible Contract on copper which is traded on the LME but excludes the copper contract traded on the NYMEX as a Redundant Contract.

The selection of Eligible Contracts and determination of the futures contracts that comprise the MLCX occurs once a year. The results for the following calendar year will be announced before the first NYMEX Business Day (as defined below) of November. “NYMEX Business Day” is any day that the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) rules define as a trading day.

Based on this selection process, the MLCX may include from 12 to 22 commodity futures contracts.

The Index Manager determines the weight of each contract on the basis of the global production of the related commodity, provided that the contract reflects global prices for that commodity. In some cases, however, the futures contracts that comprise the MLCX only have pricing links to a limited number of markets around the world. For instance, the NYMEX natural gas contract primarily represents the U.S. market and the surrounding North American markets in Canada and Mexico. In addition, some European gas markets, such as the U.K., are developing an increasing link to U.S. natural gas prices through the liquefied natural gas market. As a result, rather than using production of natural gas in the world or in the U.S. to assign a weight to the natural gas contract in the MLCX, the Index Manager has aggregated U.S., Canadian, Mexican, and U.K. natural gas production. Similarly, the Index Manager found that U.S. livestock prices can be affected by local issues such as disease and trade restrictions, so it limited the livestock component of the MLCX to production of cattle and hogs in the United States, instead of using global production weights. Also, certain commodities are derived from other commodities in various forms. For example, gasoline and heating oil are produced from crude oil, and, because livestock feed on corn and other grains, they are to an extent derived from agricultural commodities. To avoid “double counting” of commodities such as crude oil or grains used as livestock feed, the Index Manager differentiates between “upstream” and “downstream” commodities and adjusts the global production quantity of the MLCX Commodities accordingly.

Each MLCX contract is rolled into the next available contract month in advance of the month in which expiration of the contract occurs. The rolling process takes place over a 15-day period during each month prior to the relevant expiration month of each contract. The rolling process is spread out to limit the effect it might have on the market through the purchase and sale of contracts by investors who might attempt to replicate the performance of the MLCX. The rolling of contracts is effected on the same days for all MLCX contracts, regardless of exchange holiday schedules, emergency closures, or other events that could prevent trading in such contracts. If an MLCX contract is rolled on a day on which the relevant contract is not available for trading, the roll will be effected on the basis of the most recent available settlement price.

The weight of any given Market Sector in the MLCX is capped at 60% of the overall MLCX. A minimum weight of 3% is applicable to each Market Sector. Although the MLCX is designed to reflect the significance of the underlying commodities in the global economy, each Market Sector maintains these limits in an attempt to control volatility.

The Merrill Lynch Commodity MLCX Advisory Committee (the “Advisory Committee”), comprised of individuals internal and external to Merrill Lynch, assists the Index Manager and the Index Publisher in connection with the application of the MLCX principles, advises the Index Manager and the Index Publisher on the administration and operation of the MLCX, and makes recommendations to the Index Manager and the Index Publisher as to any modifications to the MLCX methodology that may be necessary or appropriate. The Advisory Committee meets once a year and may meet more often at the request of the Index Manager and the Index Publisher. The Advisory Committee advises the Index Manager and the Index Publisher with respect to the inclusion/exclusion of any of the exchanges and contracts in the MLCX, any changes to the composition of the MLCX or in the weights of the futures contracts that comprise the MLCX, and any changes to the calculation procedures applicable to the MLCX. The Advisory Committee acts solely in an advisory and consulting capacity. All decisions relating to the composition, weighting or value of the MLCX are made by the Index Manager and the Index Publisher. The Index Manager and the Index Publisher expect that, to the extent any changes are made as to the MLCX, corresponding changes will be made to the Index.

The Index was launched in April 2007 and, accordingly, there is no actual historical data on the Index prior to April 2007. The following graph sets forth the hypothetical monthly historical performance of the Index in the period from January 2004 to April 2007 and the actual monthly historical performance of the Index in the period from April 2007 through March 2009. This historical data on the Index is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Index or what the value of the ARNs may be. Any historical upward or downward trend in the level 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 ARNs. On April 22, 2009, the closing level of the Index was 622.2797.

Before investing in the ARNs, you should consult publicly available sources for the values and trading pattern of the Index. The generally unsettled international environment and related uncertainties, including the risk of terrorism, may result in the Index and financial markets generally exhibiting greater volatility than in earlier periods.

You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the ARNs, including the following:

Set forth below is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the ARNs. The following summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement ARN-2, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the ARNs.

General. Although there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the ARNs, we intend to treat the ARNs for all tax purposes as a single financial contract with respect to the Index that requires the investor to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the ARNs and that entitles the investor to receive at maturity an amount in cash based upon the performance of the Index. Under the terms of the ARNs, we and every investor in the ARNs agree, in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the ARNs as described in the preceding sentence. This discussion assumes that the ARNs constitute a single financial contract with respect to the Index for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the ARNs did not constitute a single financial contract, the tax consequences described below would be materially different.

This characterization of the ARNs is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. No statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the ARNs or any similar instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no ruling is being requested from the IRS with respect to their proper characterization and treatment. Due to the absence of authorities on point, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the ARNs are not certain, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or any court will agree with the characterization and tax treatment described in product supplement ARN-2. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the ARNs, including possible alternative characterizations.

Settlement At Maturity or Sale or Exchange Prior to Maturity. Assuming that the ARNs are properly characterized and treated as single financial contracts with respect to the Index for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the ARNs prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder (as defined in product supplement ARN-2) generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the ARNs. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the ARNs for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Possible Future Tax Law Changes. On December 7, 2007, the IRS released Notice 2008-2 (“Notice”) seeking comments from the public on the taxation of financial instruments currently taxed as “prepaid forward contracts.” This Notice addresses instruments such as the ARNs. According to the Notice, the IRS and Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the ARNs should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, regardless of whether any payments are made prior to maturity. It is not possible to determine what guidance the IRS and Treasury will ultimately issue, if any. Any such future guidance may affect the amount, timing, and character of income, gain, or loss in respect of the ARNs, possibly with retroactive effect. The IRS and Treasury are also considering additional 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 Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, concerning certain “constructive ownership transactions,” generally applies or should generally apply to such instruments, and whether any of these determinations depend on the nature of the underlying asset. We urge you to consult your own tax advisors concerning the impact and the significance of the above considerations. We intend to continue treating the ARNs for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the manner described herein unless and until such time as we determine, or the IRS or Treasury determines, that some other treatment is more appropriate.

You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the ARNs, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. See the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement ARN-2.

You should read this term sheet, together with the documents listed below, which together contain the terms of the ARNs and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under “Risk Factors” in the sections indicated on the cover of this term sheet. The ARNs involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the ARNs.

You may access the following documents on the SEC Website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC Website):

We have filed a registration statement (including a product supplement, a prospectus supplement, and a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this term sheet relates. Before you invest, you should read the product supplement, the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus in that registration statement, and the other documents relating to this offering that we have filed with the SEC for more complete information about us and this offering.

Alternatively, we, any agent or any dealer participating in this offering, will arrange to send you the Note Prospectus if you so request by calling MLPF&S toll-free at 1-866-500-5408.

MLPF&S classifies certain structured investments (the “Structured Investments”), including the ARNs, into four categories, each with different investment characteristics. The description below is intended to briefly describe the four categories of Structured Investments offered: Principal Protection, Enhanced Income, Market Participation, and Enhanced Participation. A Structured Investment may, however, combine characteristics that are relevant to one or more of the other categories. As such, a category should not be relied upon as a description of any particular Structured Investment.

Principal Protection: Principal Protected Structured Investments offer full or partial principal protection at maturity, while offering market exposure and the opportunity for a better return than may be available from comparable fixed income securities. Principal protection may not be achieved if the investment is sold prior to maturity.

Enhanced Income: Structured Investments offering enhanced income may offer an enhanced income stream through interim fixed or variable coupon payments. However, in exchange for receiving current income, investors may forfeit upside potential on the underlying asset. These investments generally do not include the principal protection feature.

Market Participation: Market Participation Structured Investments can offer investors exposure to specific market sectors, asset classes, and/or strategies that may not be readily available through traditional investment alternatives. Returns obtained from these investments are tied to the performance of the underlying asset. As such, subject to certain fees, the returns will generally reflect any increases or decreases in the value of such assets. These investments are not structured to include the principal protection feature.

Enhanced Participation: Enhanced Participation Structured Investments may offer investors the potential to receive better than market returns on the performance of the underlying asset. Some structures may offer leverage in exchange for a capped or limited upside potential and also in exchange for downside risk. These investments are not structured to include the principal protection feature.

The classification of Structured Investments is meant solely for informational purposes and is not intended to fully describe any particular Structured Investment nor guarantee any particular performance.
