approval of an authorized executive officer contains forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 giving the Companys and Sovereigns
expectations or predictions of future financial or business
performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by words such as believe, expect,
anticipate, intend, target, estimate, continue, positions,
prospects or potential, by future conditional verbs such as will,
would, should, could or may, or by variations of such words or by
similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject
to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change
over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
they are made and we assume no duty to update forward-looking
statements.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such
statements are made. These statements may relate to future
financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or
earnings projections, or other financial information. By their
nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in the statements. Statements about the expected
timing, completion and effects of the proposed transactions and
all other statements in this communication other than historical
facts constitute forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in the Companys
reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this
communication, the following factors among others, could cause
actual results to differ materially from forward-looking
statements: delay in closing the Sovereign merger; difficulties
and delays in integrating the Company and Sovereign businesses or
fully realizing cost savings and other benefits; business
disruption following the proposed transaction; changes in asset
quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and
earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets;
inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit
practices; customer disintermediation; the introduction,
withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives;
competitive conditions; the inability to realize cost savings or
revenues or to implement integration plans and other consequences
associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; economic
conditions; and the impact, extent and timing of technological
changes, capital management activities, and other actions of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and legislative
and regulatory actions and reforms.
