Key Details

• Distribution date: June 22, 2026; reporter: Merrill Lynch Depositor Inc., INDEXPLUS Trust Series 2003-1.
• Exhibit filed: Trustee’s report relating to the June 22, 2026 distribution (Exhibit 99.1).
• Underlying securities include issues from companies such as Boeing, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, Valero, Ford, GMAC, Macy’s, Time Warner, CBS, Weyerhaeuser and U.S. Treasury securities.
• The filing notes DaimlerChrysler North America Holding Corp. (now Daimler Finance North America LLC) and guarantor Daimler AG no longer file Exchange Act reports; the trust will not be required to liquidate that asset unless it grows to 10% or more of trust assets.

Why It Matters
This is a routine distribution notice for certificate holders; it confirms a cash or value distribution took place and directs investors to source documents for details on what the trust holds. Retail investors should review the underlying issuers’ SEC filings (10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks) for credit, financial or other issuer-specific risks—especially noting the special disclosure about Daimler/DaimlerChrysler filing status and the 10% liquidation threshold. The filing does not provide new financial statements or additional analysis by the depositor/trustee.
