Section 8 - Other Events
 
Item 8.01         Other Events.
 
The STRATSSM Trust for Sprint Capital Corporation Securities, Series 2004-2 (the “Trust”), has liquidated its assets and terminated.  An initial liquidation distribution of Underlying Securities was made with respect to the Certificates of the Trust on September 18, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Base Trust Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2003 (the “Base Trust Agreement”), between Synthetic Fixed-Income Securities, Inc., as trustor (in such capacity, the “Trustor”) and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and the Series Supplement, dated as of January 30, 2004 (the “Series Supplement” and, together with the Base Trust Agreement, the “Trust Agreement”) relating to the Trust (the September 18, 2013 Distribution”).
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, beneficial holders of the 1,520,000 Class A-1 Certificates, each having a par value of $25 (CUSIP Number 784788200), were entitled to an aggregate allocation of $36,753,419.72 principal amount of Underlying Securities (CUSIP Number 852060AD4), representing $24.17988 of Underlying Securities for each Class A-1 Certificate.  Due to required minimum denominations for transfer of Underlying Securities, holders of fewer than 41.356698 Underlying Securities received distributions of cash only rather than in-kind distributions of Underlying Securities.  As a result of these and other entitlements to fractional amounts of Underlying Securities among the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Trustee was unable to make a full distribution in kind of the Underlying Securities to the Depositary.
 
In the September 18, 2013 Distribution, the Depositary allocated $36,731,000 of the aggregate $36,753,419.72 principal amount of Underlying Securities to the Depositary’s participants (“DTC Participants”), which held the Class A-1 Certificates on behalf of the beneficial holders of the Class A-1 Certificates.  According to the Trustee, the Depositary instructed the Trustee to initially hold back $22,419.72 principal amount of Underlying Securities to be liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed in lieu of fractional Underlying Securities due to required minimum denominations for transfer of Underlying Securities.
 
By September 24, 2013, all DTC Participants holding the Class A-1 Certificates were to have notified the Depositary how many additional Underlying Securities were required to be liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to the beneficial holders of the Class A-1 Certificates in lieu of fractional Underlying Securities.  The Depositary provided this information to the Trustee, and the Trustee liquidated the instructed number of Underlying Securities on September 30, 2013.  The Trustee delivered to the Depositary the proceeds of such liquidation of Underlying Securities in lieu of fractional Underlying Securities in an aggregate amount of $575,166.41 for distribution to the beneficial holders of the Class A-1 Certificates through DTC Participants.  The amount of such cash distribution to Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates in lieu of fractional Underlying Securities subsequent to the in-kind distribution will vary based on the liquidation price obtained in relation to the Underlying Securities allocable to particular lots held by or through individual participants in the Depositary.  The liquidation price in respect of individual participants in the Depositary depends on time of sale, available prices, lot sizes and other market factors.
