For information with respect to the underlying
securities held by PPLUS Trust Series DCNA-1, please refer to
DaimlerChrysler AG's (Commission file number 001-14561) periodic
reports, including reports on Form 20-F and Form 6-K, and other
information on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). You can read and copy these reports and other
information at the public reference facilities maintained by the
SEC at Room 1580, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. You
may obtain copies of this material for a fee by writing to the
SEC's Public Reference Section of the SEC at 100 F Street, NE,
Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information about the
operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. You can also access some of this information
electronically by means of the SEC's website on the Internet at
http://www.sec.gov, which contains reports, proxy and
information statements and other information that the underlying
securities issuer and underlying securities guarantor have filed
electronically with the SEC.
Although we have no reason to believe the information
concerning the underlying securities, the underlying securities
guarantee, the underlying securities guarantor or the underlying
securities issuer contained in the underlying securities
guarantor's Exchange Act reports is not reliable, neither the
depositor nor the trustee participated in the preparation of
such documents or made any due diligence inquiry with respect to
the information provided therein. No investigation with respect
to the underlying securities issuer or the underlying securities
guarantor (including, without limitation, no investigation as to
their respective financial condition or creditworthiness) or of
the underlying securities or the underlying securities guarantee
has been made. You should obtain and evaluate the same
information concerning the underlying securities issuer and
underlying securities guarantor as you would obtain and evaluate
if you were investing directly in the underlying securities and
the underlying securities guarantee or in other securities
issued by the underlying securities issuer or the underlying
securities guarantor. There can be no assurance that events
affecting the underlying securities, the underlying securities
guarantee, the underlying securities issuer or the underlying
securities guarantor have not occurred or have not yet been
publicly disclosed which would affect the accuracy or
completeness of the publicly available documents described
above.
