Merrill Lynch may make or publish forward-looking statements about management
expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated expense
savings and financial results, anticipated results of litigation and regulatory
proceedings, and other similar matters. A variety of factors, many of which are
beyond Merrill Lynch's control, affect the operations, performance, business
strategy and results of Merrill Lynch and could cause actual results and
experiences to differ materially from the expectations and objectives expressed
in these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, financial
market volatility, actions and initiatives by current and potential competitors,
the effect of current and future legislation or regulation, and certain other
additional factors described in Merrill Lynch's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K
and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q, which are available on the
Merrill Lynch Investor Relations website at www.ir.ml.com and at the SEC's
website, www.sec.gov.

Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are
made. Merrill Lynch does not undertake to update such statements to reflect the
impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date these statements
were made. Readers should, however, consult any further disclosures Merrill
Lynch may make in its reports filed with the SEC.
