In September 2006, leaders within the Wall Street dealer community announced plans to trade various forms of housing derivative products that will trade over-the-counter (OTC), with terms as long as 5 years. Transactions for most of these instruments (i.e., other than those governed by SEC regulations, such as index-linked notes) will be governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements between the counterparties, with collateral posting governed by a Collateral Security Annex (CSA). Counterparties will be able to monetize or unwind trades by entering into offsetting positions or assigning trades to a housing derivatives dealer. Possible product structures include:
› CDS-like contracts (with and without ratings) › Floors › Forwards › Index-Linked Notes › Options › Total Return Swaps (TRS) |

| The information within this website concerning MacroShares is solely for informational purposes and constitutes neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy securities to any person in any jurisdiction. The information presented herein is not, and is not intended to be, a complete discussion of all material information you should know about MacroShares or any other product. If you are considering purchasing MacroShares or any security, you should thoroughly read the relevant prospectus prior to making a purchase, and carefully consider the investment objectives and policies, risk considerations, charges and ongoing expenses of any security before investing or sending money. MacroShares are risky investments. In addition to the normal risks associated with securities investing generally, due to their unique structure, underlying benchmarks, terms and attributes, MacroShares investments can trade at premium or discounted prices relative to underlying values (UV), and may exhibit higher volatility and have less liquidity when compared to more traditional equity or debt instruments. Although liquidity providers and market makers commonly narrow or eliminate differences between the prevailing market price and corresponding UV corresponding to traded securities through arbitrage, as unique vehicles, investors should expect premium and discounted market prices to prevail over most of the life of a MacroShares investment. Premiums and discounts will be affected by a MacroShare issue’s expected remaining term, interest rates, supply and demand, structural leverage (if any), termination triggers, and other factors. You may lose all of the money that you invest in MacroShares. Any underwriter or dealer participating in the offering can arrange to send you the prospectus upon request. You can also obtain a prospectus by accessing the “Literature” section of this website, by calling toll-free 888-Macros1 (888-622-7671), or by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and searching for company filings under the name of the applicable depositor.
