NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 2013

Merrill Lynch Preferred Capital Trust V (the "Trust") is a statutory business trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act, as amended. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (the "Company" or "ML & Co.") is the sole owner of the Trust common securities. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("Bank of America").

The Company reported the following in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013: As part of Bank of America's efforts to streamline its organizational structure and reduce complexity and costs, it has reduced and intends to continue to reduce the number of its subsidiaries, including through intercompany mergers. In connection with these efforts, Bank of America may merge ML & Co. directly into Bank of America Corporation and such a merger may occur as early as the fourth quarter of 2013. Under Delaware law, as a result of such a merger, Bank of America Corporation would assume all of ML & Co.'s obligations, including its outstanding U.S. and non-U.S. debt securities, its obligations with respect to outstanding trust preferred securities, including those issued by the Trust, and ML & Co. guarantees of outstanding non-U.S. debt securities issued by ML & Co. subsidiaries. Also, as a result of such a merger, ML & Co.'s reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 would terminate and ML & Co. would cease to separately file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). There can be no assurance that such a merger will occur, and if it does, the timing thereof. Any such merger would be subject to applicable regulatory approvals, consents and other conditions of closing.

Following any such merger, the Trust would continue to separately file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC.
