Amendment to Prohibited Transaction
Exemption (PTE) 93-31, et al.
On October 1, 2007, Bank of America
acquired ABN Amro North America Holding Company, the
holding company of LaSalle Bank Corporation (The
Acquisition). LaSalle Bank, N.A. (LaSalle) is a
subsidiary of LaSalle Bank Corporation. LaSalle is the
Trustee in certain securitization transactions that
include Bank of America. This amendment to PTE 93-31,
an Underwriter Exemption (UE), provides a six month
period to resolve certain affiliations between LaSalle
and Bank of America as members of the Restricted
Group, as those terms are defined in the UEs. The
Acquisition caused 37 commercial or residential
mortgage-backed securitizations (Securitizations) to
fail to satisfy the requirement under the UE that the
Trustee not be an Affiliate of any member of the
Restricted Group other than an Underwriter. LaSalle is
the Trustee in each of the Securitizations and Bank of
America is a party to each of the Securitizations in
the capacity or capacities of Underwriter, Sponsor,
Servicer or Swap Counterparty. In addition, the
amendment provides similar relief for certain
Securitizations where LaSalle is Trustee and Bank of
America is a member of the Restricted Group, other
than the Underwriter. In those transactions, the
Underwriter, who is unrelated to Bank of America,
relies upon an UE other than PTE 93-31. Accordingly,
Citigroup Global Market, Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities, and Goldman, Sachs & Co. have agreed
to coverage under the amendment.

Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc. (ML&Co.) and BlackRock, Inc.
(BlackRock) (collectively, the Applicants)
On
September 29, 2006, ML&Co. and BlackRock
consummated a transaction (the Merger), in which
ML&Co. contributed Merrill Lynch Investment
Managers, LLC (MLIM) and various other assets and
subsidiaries that comprised its investment management
business to BlackRock in exchange for approximately
45% of the outstanding voting securities of BlackRock.
Prior to the Merger, ML&Co. and its affiliates
engaged in various types of transactions, involving
employee benefit plans, in reliance on, and in
accordance with the conditions of various class
exemptions, including Parts III and IV of PTE 75-1,
PTE 77-3, PTE 77-4, PTE 79-13, PTE 86-128 and PTE
2002-12 (the Applicable Exemptions) issued by the
Department. Also, prior to the Merger, affiliates of
ML&Co. engaged in the same transactions as
described in the Applicable Exemptions, involving
plans, with affiliates of BlackRock for which no
exemption was required because ML&Co. had, at
most, a de minimis ownership interest in BlackRock. As
a result of the Merger, certain transactions involving
companies affiliated with ML&Co. and companies
affiliated with BlackRock may now be prohibited
transactions as defined in section 406 of the Act.
However, the ownership interest existing between
ML&Co. and its affiliates and BlackRock and its
affiliates may nevertheless not result in the various
entities being considered “affiliates” of each
other as defined in the Applicable Exemptions. As the
Applicable Exemptions extend relief only to affiliated
entities, as defined thereunder, ML&Co. and its
affiliates, and BlackRock and its affiliates may not
be able to take advantage of the relief provided by
the Applicable Exemptions.
Accordingly,
the Department has granted an individual exemption
which will enable the Applicants to engage in the
transactions described in the Applicable Exemptions,
provided the conditions contained herein are met.

Notice of Proposed Individual
Exemption to Replace Prohibited Transaction Exemption
(PTE) 2000-45, Involving Citigroup Global Markets,
Inc. (CGMI), formerly Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
Would replace PTE 2000-45 (65 FR
54315, September 7, 2000), which became ineffective
due to a material change in this exemption. PTE
2000-45 related to the operation of the TRAK
Personalized Investment Advisory Service (the TRAK
Program) and the Trust for Consulting Group Capital
Markets Funds. PTE 2000-45 provided exemptive relief
with respect to the purchase or redemption of mutual
fund shares by plans participating in CGMI’s TRAK
Program. It also permitted the CGMI’s Consulting
Group division to provide asset allocation advice to
the investing plans.
CGMI has requested a temporary and
limited exemption that would modify the definition of
the term “affiliate,” as set forth in PTE 2000-45.
According to PTE 2000-45, the definition of “affiliate”
includes a corporation or partnership of which CGMI or
an affiliate is a 10 percent or more partner or owner.
In December 2005, Citigroup, Inc. (Citigroup), the
parent of CGMI sold substantially all of its asset
management business to Legg Mason, Inc. (Legg Mason),
with the exception of the TRAK Program and the
Consulting Group. In return for Legg Mason’s
broker-dealer business, Citigroup received 4 percent
of Legg Mason’s voting common stock and 10 percent
of Legg Mason’s convertible, non-voting preferred
stock.
As a result of the merger, Legg
Mason became an affiliate of Citigroup since Citigroup
then owned 14 percent of Legg Mason’s stock. This
affiliation temporarily affected the independence of
two TRAK Program sub-advisers, which were subsidiaries
of Legg Mason. Under PTE 2000-45 and its predecessor
exemptions, all of the TRAK Program sub-advisers were
required to be independent of CGMI and its affiliates.
Because of this material change in the sub-advisers’
independence, the Department decided that PTE 2000-45
would no longer be effective. So, the Department is
providing a new exemption to Citigroup and CGMI, which
would be retroactive to December 1, 2005, if granted.
Also, the new exemption would cover a fee offset
procedure that Citigroup implemented on January 1,
2008.
