In 2012, Merrill Lynch entered into agreements to sell its International Wealth Management ("IWM") business based outside of the U.S., subject to regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions, and the first of a series of closings occurred in February 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, Merrill Lynch recorded a loss of approximately $80 million associated with certain initial costs incurred with the sale of the IWM business.
