EXHIBIT 99.2
[PricewaterhouseCoopers Letterhead] Report of Independent Accountants To Merrill Lynch Depositor, Inc.: We have examined managements assertion included
    in the accompanying Management’s Assertion on Compliance with PPLUS Minimum Servicing Standards with respect to
    PreferredPLUS Trust Series CZN-1 that,     Merrill     Lynch     Depositor, Inc.     (the     Company)
    complied with the Company’s established         minimum     servicing     standards as set forth in Appendix I as of
    December 31, 2016 and for the year then ended.     Management     is     responsible      for     the Company’s compliance
    with     the     established     minimum     servicing     standards,     excluding those     with     respect     to the
    Bank     of New     York       Mellon as     Trustee,      Custodian,          Paying     Agent     and     Transfer
    Agent as     indicated in     Appendix I.     Our     responsibility     is     to     express     an     opinion on
    managements     assertion     about the     Company’s compliance     based       on our     examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants  and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Companys compliance with its minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination
on the Companys compliance with its established minimum servicing standards. In our opinion,  managements assertion  that
    the     Company complied with the aforementioned requirements as of December 31, 2016 for     the     year then ended is
    fairly     stated, in all     material respects,     based on the     criteria     set forth     in Appendix     I. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP New York, NY
