Notwithstanding the provisions contained in the Prospectus Supplement dated
March 29, 1994 attached hereto, interest rates offered by the Company with
respect to the Notes may differ, among other reasons, depending upon the
aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased in any single transaction. Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc. (the "Company") expects generally to distinguish, with respect
to these offered rates, between purchases which are for less than, and purchases
which are equal to or greater than, $1,000,000. These different rates may be
offered concurrently at any time. The Company may also concurrently offer Notes
having different variable terms (as are described herein or in any Prospectus
Supplement) to different investors, and these different offers may depend upon
whether an offered purchase is for an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal
to or greater than, or for an amount less than $1,000,000.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Prospectus
Supplement dated March 29, 1994 attached hereto, (i) the Note described herein
may be redeemed at the option of the Company only on any of October 30, 1995,
January 29, 1996 or April 29, 1996 as described herein (each such date being a
"Redemption Date"); (ii) notice for such Note to be redeemed at the option of
the Company on a Redemption Date shall be given not more than 7 nor less than 5
days prior to the Redemption Date; and (iii) interest will be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days during the term of such Note.
On April 24, 1995, the Company increased to $11,150,000,000 the aggregate
principal amount of Medium- Term Notes, Series B authorized to be issued
pursuant to the attached Prospectus Supplement and supplements related thereto.
Such amount represents an increased authorization of $2,500,000,000. As of March
31, 1995, the Company had issued and outstanding Notes in an aggregate principal
amount of approximately $5,566,708,000.
