Equity awards can be an important part of your overall compensation, and can help you finance many of your life’s priorities — from family to leisure, from health care to college planning.

That’s why Merrill Lynch offers a wide range of resources to help you manage and monitor your awards, including Benefits OnLine. Through Merrill Lynch, you have access to:

• Detailed information about your awards, online or by phone

• Online modeling and transaction capabilities

• Online statements, confirmations, and forms

• An online Education Center with information to help you understand equity awards and how they work

This brochure is a practical guide to managing your equity awards with Merrill Lynch. It includes step-by-step instructions for getting started. Please keep this guide with your award agreements and related plan documents as a reference.

If you are a director, executive officer, associate or other person subject to Rule 144 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Section 16 persons”), you will work directly with your financial advisor team to open your brokerage account and conduct transactions. You will still enjoy the convenience of online access to your award and account information as well as other helpful resources.

4 | Getting started Required

Step 1 Create your User ID and password

www.benefits.ml.com > Create your User ID now

What you need

1. Social Security number (U.S. participants)

Non-U.S. participants: Use the 9-digit internal verification number (which begins with an “8”) sent to you in the mail. Enter this when prompted for your “Account Number.”

If you cannot locate your internal verification number, please send an email to [email protected] and it will be provided.

2. Personal Identification Number (PIN)

PINs are sent to you in the mail. If you do not have your PIN, select Forgot Your PIN when prompted for your PIN.

Note: If you already have a User ID and password for another plan at Merrill Lynch, you do not need to create new ones.

Step 2 Open your Merrill Lynch brokerage account

You will need to open a Limited Individual Investor Account (LIIA) before you can conduct transactions related to your equity awards — even if you have another Merrill Lynch brokerage account.*

To get started, click “Open Account Now” from the Action Center when you first log in to reach the “Open a Limited Individual Investor Account” screen. Or, from the pop-up box (“Open a Brokerage Account”) that appears after you log in or create your User ID and password, select:

Continue > Open a Limited Individual Investor Account

Complete your tax certification

As part of the account opening process, you’ll be asked to complete your W-9 or W-8BEN certification. A W-9 form (for U.S. citizens) asks for your tax identification number (which is your Social Security number). A W-8BEN asks for similar information for non-U.S. citizens. You must provide this information to avoid additional backup tax withholding on your award transactions.

Please call your financial advisor team to open the Individual Investor Account (IIA) that you will need for transactions related to your equity awards.*

Avoid delays! It may take up to 72 hours for your account to be activated. Open your account now so it will be ready for your award transactions.

* The LIIA and IIA are limited, self-directed, non-interest-bearing brokerage accounts.

Step 3 Set up wire instructions

Having wire instructions on file will allow you to transfer funds from your Merrill Lynch brokerage account (LIIA/IIA) to another account when you conduct transactions.

Equity Plan > Brokerage Account > Wire Instructions

Call your financial advisor team to set up your wire instructions.

What you need1. Account number to which funds will be wired

2. Your financial institution’s “FedWire” ABA (routing) number

Contact your financial institution to confirm its ABA number for wire transfers or any alternate instructions. To transfer cash to another Merrill Lynch account, use ABA number 026009593.

Non-U.S. participants: You will need a SWIFT code in place of the ABA number. There may be additional country requirements for some non-U.S. participants. Contact your financial institution if you have any questions.

You will receive a confirmation of your instructions. If you are no longer an active employee at your company or if your financial institution requires an intermediary, you must call a participant service representative to set up wire instructions.

Step 4 Select your delivery preferences

You can choose how you would like to receive statements, confirmations and other documents related to your plan.

To get started, select Manage Online Delivery under Useful Links on the My Accounts page.

You can edit, add or change your email addresses on file and indicate how you would like to receive your plan-related documents.

Choose online delivery if you would like to eliminate paper mailings of your documents. With online delivery, you’ll receive an email, with a link to Benefits OnLine, whenever a new document is available online.

Note: These delivery preferences apply only to Benefits OnLine. You will need to establish separate preferences for your brokerage account information on MyMerrill (see page 18).

Other important steps

Transfer company stock to your new Merrill Lynch brokerage accountIf you have stock from your company’s equity award program at another financial institution, you can transfer it to your Merrill Lynch brokerage account (LIIA/IIA). If your stock is jointly held, you will be changing ownership upon transfer to an individually held account at Merrill Lynch (check with your current financial institution regarding the ownership change process).

• Contact the financial institution that holds your company shares.

• Confirm that Depository Trust Company (DTC) transfers are permitted and what the fees may be. If you cannot make a DTC transfer, contact a participant service representative for more information.

Call your financial advisor team to transfer stock received through your company’s equity program from an outside account to Merrill Lynch.

What you need

1. Your Merrill Lynch brokerage account number (LIIA/IIA)

2. Your exact name and title as listed on the account

3. Merrill Lynch’s DTC number (5198)

4. The number of shares you want to transfer

• You may be required to complete a form for this request. Shares should be electronically delivered to your Merrill Lynch account within three to five business days (seven to ten days if transferred from a non-U.S. financial institution). To confirm that your shares have been transferred, go to:

Equity Plan > Brokerage Account > Holdings

• Contact the financial institution if the shares are not in your account after seven to ten business days. To reach Merrill Lynch about the deposit, call 1.877.767.2404 or +1.609.818.8894 if located outside the United States, Puerto Rico or Canada.

7 | Getting started

W-9 and W-8BEN certification

When opening your brokerage account, you will be required to certify either a W-9 or W-8BEN form. The W-9 form (for U.S. participants only) is to certify whether or not you are subject to backup tax withholding and to verify that your U.S. Social Security number is correct. The W-8BEN form (for international participants only) is to certify that you are exempt from U.S. tax withholding. You will be required to certify this information in Step 5 of opening your LIIA online.

For U.S. participants• With a U.S. address: You do not need to manually complete a W-9 form. By simply completing the “Certify” section in the “Verify,

Certify, Agree and Submit” step of the online brokerage account opening process, your requirement has been completed.

• With a non-U.S. address: You must speak with a participant service representative in order to open your brokerage account.

For international participants• With a non-U.S. address: You do not need to manually complete a W-8BEN form. By simply completing the “Certify” section in the

“Verify, Certify, Agree and Submit” step of the online brokerage account opening process, your requirement has been completed. (Note: The non-U.S. address submitted must be a street address and cannot be a P.O. Box, an in-care-of address or an address of a financial institution.)

• With a U.S. address: You must speak with a participant service representative in order to open your brokerage account. You will be subject to U.S. backup tax withholding unless you provide photo documentation of foreign status and a written statement providing an explanation supporting your foreign status. A participant service representative will provide you with more information on what is required.

Nonqualified stock options

What you get• The right to purchase company stock at a set price for a

specific period.

How they work• Subject to a waiting period (also called a vesting period),

an exercise (purchase) period and an expiration date.

• Stock can be purchased during the exercise period at the price specified when the options were granted (grant price), assuming the stock’s fair market value (FMV) is not below the grant price. This purchase is called “exercising your stock options.”

• If you do not exercise your stock options before the expiration date, you lose the right to purchase stock at the grant price.1

Please read the grant agreement provided by your company for details on the specific terms and conditions of your award. For more information, contact your human resources department.

Taxes• When you exercise nonqualified stock options, any gain on

the exercise (the difference between the grant price and the FMV2 of the stock at the time of exercise) is considered ordinary income under U.S. tax law. In non-U.S. locations, tax implications may vary.3

• Taxes on this income are generally due at the time of exercise (see “Choosing an exercise method” on the next page).

• If and when you sell your stock at a later date, the difference between the FMV of the stock at the time of exercise and the sale date is treated as a capital gain or loss. In non-U.S. locations, tax implications may vary.3

Lifecycle of stock options

Expiration date

• Unexercised options are forfeited

1 If your expiration date falls on a weekend or a holiday of the New York Stock Exchange, you must exercise by the market close on the trading day before your expiration date. Earlier expiration dates may apply under your company plan due to termination of employment, disability or death. Please refer to the terms and conditions of your plan for rules relating to earlier expiration of stock options.

2 The definition of the stock’s fair market value used to calculate your tax obligation is determined by your plan. 3 Consult your tax advisor about your individual tax implications. Neither Merrill Lynch nor your employer provides tax advice.

11 | Reviewing your awards Nonqualified stock options

Choosing an exercise method When you decide to exercise your nonqualified stock options, you must choose an exercise method. The method you choose will depend on how you want to pay for the purchase of your shares and whether you want to receive the proceeds in stock or in cash. Here is an example of exercise costs and the exercise methods available to you.

Example of exercise costs*

Exercise cost: $11,650

Cash paid: $0

Shares sold: 1,000

You receive: $3,350 cash ($15,000 cash proceeds - $11,650 costs)

Shares Cash from the sale of shares from your award

Cashless hold exerciseSome of your shares are sold to cover the exercise costs, and you receive the net shares.


Cash paid: $0

Shares sold: 777 ($11,650/$15 to cover costs)

You receive: 223 net shares

Shares Cash that you provide to Merrill Lynch There is no fee for a cash purchase exercise.

Cash purchase exerciseYou receive all shares from your exercise request.


Cash paid: $11,650

Shares sold: 0You receive: 1,000 shares

Shares Shares that you already ownYou “attest” that you own the shares. These attested shares are “swapped” for new shares (you keep the certificates or other ownership documents for the attested shares).

Stock swap exercise The total number of shares is reduced by the number of shares needed to cover the exercise costs, and you receive the net new shares. (A stock swap exercise must be conducted through a participant service representative.)


Cash paid: $0

Shares swapped: 777 ($11,650/$15 to cover costs)

You receive: 223 net new shares

* Examples are for illustrative purposes only.

** Taxed as ordinary income (e.g., federal, state, local, FICA).

1 Neither Merrill Lynch nor any of its affiliates or financial advisors provide legal, tax or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions.

What you get• An unsecured promise from your company to deliver company stock at a future date.

• Restricted stock units are not actual shares of company stock and therefore they do not carry voting rights or provide dividends.

How they work• Generally subject to employment and vesting criteria. The vesting period is often referred to as the restriction period.

Shares/units may not be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned during this period.

• You do not have to purchase these shares. You receive net shares in your Merrill Lynch brokerage account automatically when the restriction period ends and vesting conditions are met. If the vesting conditions are not met, the awards may be forfeited.

Please read the grant agreement provided by your company for details on the specific terms and conditions of your award. For more information contact your human resources department.

Taxes• Awards are taxed as ordinary income under U.S. tax law based on their total fair market value on the restriction lapse (vesting) date.

Taxes are generally due on that date. In non-U.S. locations tax implications may vary.1

• As specified by your plan, your taxes will be paid automatically through:

Share withholding — A portion of your awarded shares is withheld for taxes and you receive the net shares.

• To estimate your taxes, go to:

• Awards are granted

• Restriction (vesting) period begins

• Waiting period before stock can be received

• Merrill Lynch brokerage account (LIIA/IIA) opened

• Tax obligation to be met through share withholding

• Taxes are automatically paid

• Net shares are generally deposited to your LIIA/IIA within 72 hours, though this may vary

• A confirmation is mailed to you

Choosing specific tax lots to sell can simplify recordkeeping for tax purposes.

Choose your sale order type

When you sell company stock (including when exercising options), you must decide when you want the sale to take place — at the next available sale price (a “market order”) or at a specified price (a “limit order”).

If you want to … Choose this method How it works

Sell your shares at the next available sale price

Market Order As soon as market conditions allow, your shares will be sold.

Set the price at which to sell your shares …

Limit Order (You must select one of the types below):

If the stock price reaches or exceeds your set limit price, shares are sold subject to market conditions. If the price is not met while the order is in effect, your order is cancelled and shares/options are available for future sale/exercise.

… on the current trading day • Day Limit Order Order is in effect for current trading day only. Orders entered after market close will be in effect for the next business day.

… over the next 30 calendar days • Good Till Cancelled Limit Order*

Order is in effect for 30 calendar days following the date of entry. For orders entered after the market close but before 12 midnight Eastern, the 30-day count begins two business days after the order is entered.

* Please note that you cannot place a Good Till Cancelled order in connection with a cashless hold exercise.

• Merrill Lynch will execute all sale orders subject to market conditions.

• You may receive partial execution of the sale order you place, resulting in only a portion of your stock options being exercised. Once your exercise has been entered, you should check the exercise confirmation on Benefits OnLine to determine the number of stock options exercised. You may need to re-enter the order for the balance of the options not exercised.

Company blackouts

• Generally, all limit orders related to stock option exercises will be cancelled at the outset of a blackout period (a period set by your company during which purchases and sales of company stock are prohibited). Generally, no stock option exercises will be processed online during a blackout period.

• No new orders related to stock option exercises may be placed online or over the phone during a blackout period.

• Any and all blackout periods are determined by your company and are subject to change.
