Item 5. Other Events
Description of the Certificates and the Mortgage Pool
As of the date hereof, Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors, Inc. (the
"Registrant") has caused to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Commission's Rule 424 a Prospectus Supplement
to its Prospectus, dated December 15, 2000, in connection with the Registrant's
issuance of a series of certificates, entitled Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-3 (the "Certificates"), to be issued pursuant to a
pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of December 1, 2000, among the
Registrant as depositor, Cendant Mortgage Corporation as master servicer and
Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association as trustee. The Certificates
designated as the Series 2000-3 Certificates will represent in the aggregate the
entire beneficial ownership in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting
primarily of a segregated pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of fixed-rate, one- to
four-family, first lien mortgage loans having original terms to maturity not
greater than 30 years (the "Mortgage Loans").
Computational Materials
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the "Underwriter")
has advised the Registrant that it has furnished to certain prospective
purchasers of Certificates with certain materials, herein referred to as
"Computational Materials", in written form, which Computational Materials are in
the nature of data tables and term sheet information relating to the Mortgage
Loans or other assets of the Trust Fund, the structure of the Certificates and
terms of certain classes of Certificates, and the hypothetical characteristics
and hypothetical performance of certain classes of Certificates under certain
assumptions and scenarios.
The Computational Materials have been provided by the Underwriter. The
information in the Computational Materials is preliminary and will be superseded
by the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Certificates and by any other
information subsequently filed with the Commission.
The Computational Materials were prepared by the Underwriter at the
request of certain prospective investors. The Computational Materials may be
based on information that differs from the information set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement.
