1Current face amount represents the most recent balance of principal outstanding on the assets and should not be confused with market value or the price ML II paid to acquire the assets.  At October 31, 2008 inception, the ML II LLC paid $20.5 billion for the portfolio of assets with a face amount of approximately $39.3 billion.

As part of the close-out procedures for Maiden Lane II LLC, on August 22, 2012, the New York Fed sold eight residual securities that had been factored to zero and consequently dropped from the portfolio holdings report (published by the New York Fed). There was no active notional balance associated with these positions as the bonds were fully written down prior to the last ML II auction on February 28, 2012; thus this sale had no material impact on the net gain reported for the ML II portfolio.
