  Fitch Rates Bank of America Merrill Lynch P-FLOATs Series MT-797

Business Wire

NEW YORK -- July 05, 2012

Fitch Ratings assigns the following ratings to the puttable floating option
tax-exempts receipts (P-FLOATs) of the Merrill Lynch P-FLOATs Series MT Trust
BOA listed below:

--Series MT-797 P-FLOATs?'AAA/F1', Negative Outlook.

The long-term 'AAA', Negative Outlook rating assigned to the series MT-797
P-FLOATs is based on the rating that Fitch has assigned to the Agency-Enhanced
Affordable Housing Trust Class A Floating Certificates, Series 2012-37
Tax-Exempt (rated 'AAA', Negative Outlook by Fitch) that have been deposited
in the MT-797 series trust. The Agency-Enhanced Affordable Housing Trust Class
A Floating Certificates, Series 2012-37 Tax-Exempt evidence a beneficial
ownership interest in Custodial Receipt, Series FRA-46, which is secured by a
Standby Credit Enhancement Agreement provided by Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (rated 'AAA/F1+', Negative Outlook).

The 'F1' short-term rating assigned to the P-FLOATs is based on the liquidity
facility provided by Bank of America, National Association (rated 'A/F1',
Stable Outlook). The short-term rating will expire on Dec. 15, 2012, unless
such date is extended, or on any prior termination of the credit enhancement
or liquidity facility.

Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings
above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has
been compensated for the provision of the ratings.
