On
October 26, 2009, the 1-for-10 reverse stock split of Unisys Corporation, an
underlying constituent of the Internet Architecture HOLDRS Trust, became
effective. As a result, the quantity of shares of Unisys Corporation
represented by each 100 share round-lot of Internet Architecture HOLDRS Trust
will decrease from 2 shares to 0.2 shares. Once the allocation has
been completed by The Depository Trust Company, deposits of shares of Unisys
Corporation for creations of Internet Architecture HOLDRS will decrease from 2
shares to 0.2 share per round-lot of 100 Internet Architecture HOLDRS due to the
1-for-10 reverse stock split of Unisys Corporation.
On
November 22, 2000, shares of Seagate Technology, Inc. were acquired by Veritas
Software. At the time of the merger, Veritas Software replaced Seagate
Technology, Inc. as a constituent of the Internet Architecture HOLDRS Trust.
Neither Seagate Technology, Inc. nor Veritas Software is currently a constituent
of Internet Architecture HOLDRS. At the time of the merger, it was anticipated
that future entitlements may be due to the former holders of Seagate Technology,
Inc. On September 21, 2009, a final distribution to former shareholders of
Seagate Technology, Inc. became effective. In connection with the
distribution, Seagate Technology, Inc. shareholders will receive
$0.1020456 in cash for each share of Seagate Technology, Inc. The Bank of New
York Mellon will receive $0.2040912 for the former two shares of Seagate
Technology, Inc. per 100 round-lot of Internet Architecture HOLDRS.
