- Interestingly Merrill's partial financing of the purchase essentially constitutes a put underwritten by MER on its CDO exposure
- However, the short put represents only one leg of a complex three-part transaction which synthetically results in Merrill’s purchase of a protective put-spread for its CDO.
CDO sale = long ATM put
75% financing of purchase = short OTM put
