Item 8.01. Other Events

Pursuant to Part 5(e) of the Schedule to the 1992 ISDA® Master Agreement between Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. (the “Transferor”) and PPLUS Trust Series JPM-1 (the “Trust”), dated August 3, 2004 (the “Transferred Master Agreement”), on April 12, 2012 the Transferor and Merrill Lynch International (the “Transferee”) entered into a Swap Transfer and Assignment Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) by which the Transferor transferred and assigned to the Transferee, and the Transferee accepted and assumed, all of the rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Transferor under the terms of the Transferred Master Agreement. On April 11, 2012 the Trust received written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services that the execution of the Transfer Agreement did not result in the withdrawal or downgrading of the rating of the securities of the Trust. In connection with the transfer of the Transferor’s rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under the Transferred Master Agreement to the Transferee, the collateral posting requirements previously applicable to the Transferor (and which would otherwise now be applicable to the Transferee) have ceased to apply.

In connection with the Transfer Agreement, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (the “Guarantor”) issued a guarantee for the Trust’s benefit in which the Guarantor agreed to make any payment, or cause such payment to be made, to the Trust upon the Trust’s demand, due from the Transferor to the Trust under the terms of the Transferred Master Agreement.
