Exhibit 99(i)
STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS
I, David H. Komansky, state and attest that:
(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
reports of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., and, except as corrected or
supplemented in a subsequent covered report:
o No covered report contained an untrue statement of a
material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and
o No covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of
a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the
date on which it was filed).
(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
Audit Committee.
(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on
or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":
o Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
28, 2001 of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
o All reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
definitive proxy materials of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. filed
with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K
identified above; and
o Any amendments to any of the foregoing.
