Operations In process Deposit and commercial loan systems will be integrated by year - end 2016 Cross Sell Opportunities In process Marketing Treasury Management Solutions to CIT customers and CIT Business Capital products to OneWest Bank customers

 
 

9  Formed new legal entity; advancing subsidiary realignment  Completing carve out financial statements  Engaged in systems and operational work necessary for both a sale or a spin  Creating plan for liability management in the context of either a sale or a spin Commercial Air Separation: Process Update  Engaged since Q4 2015 in preliminary discussions with a wide range of global partners  Have begun executing nondisclosure agreements with selected counterparties  Formal auction process to launch in Q2 2016  Preparing to file Form 10 registration statement by the end of Q2 2016  Able to execute spin - off by year - end 2016 We are committed to maximizing shareholder value regardless of disposition strategy Preparatory Steps Sale Process Underway Concurrently Preparing for Spin - off Dual track process, balancing many different considerations, including: valuation, timing, certainty of execution, funding and tax implications

 
 

10 Rail: An Important Franchise for CIT  High - quality management team and customer base  Above - hurdle return on equity  One - third of our railcars are owned by CIT Bank  Size and duration of order book does not attract significant additional regulatory capital  In effect, Rail provides its own equity: Rail’s $1.2B of deferred tax liabilities offset an equal amount of deferred tax assets, generating regulatory capital  Concentration: pro forma for separating Commercial Air, railcar leases will represent ~15% of total earning assets  Business cycle: utilization and lease rates have trended downward, driven in particular by headwinds in the energy sector  Bank funding limitations: we are unable to move all of our existing fleet into CIT Bank due to geographic (international) and other regulatory issues  Tax: the accelerated depreciation of rail cars that creates valuable cash flow and a synergistic deferred tax liability also results in an extremely low tax basis in our railcar fleet  High - quality management team and customer relationships drive strong returns through cycles  Selling Rail today would not free up capital to return to shareholders, given regulatory capital impact  While balancing efficient utilization of regulatory capital, we will focus on mitigating concentration risk Excellent Franchise Considerations Takeaways Findings From Our Strategic Review

17 Rail $ 1.2B Air $ 0.7B Other $0.1 $4.0B No limit on utilization $1.7B Limited utilization Our DTA is a Meaningful Source of Future Cash and Regulatory Capital  Expect to generate sufficient U.S. taxable income to utilize all of our Federal NOL carryforwards before they expire  As NOLs are utilized, the deferred tax assets will result in additional available cash and the disallowed portion will become regulatory capital (1) – We can utilize the DTA cash flow to retire debt or fund earning asset growth: at our current five - year cost of debt of ~5 %, every $100mm of cash saves $5mm of pre - tax interest expense – We can utilize the regulatory capital to repurchase shares, subject to regulatory approval DTA Balance as of 12/31/2015 ($B) Gross Balance Valuation Allowance Net Balance U.S. Federal NOLs $2.0 $2.0 State NOLs 0.4 0.3 0.2 Non - U.S. NOLs 0.4 0.1 0.3 Other Deferred Tax Assets 0.8 0.8 Gross Deferred Tax Assets $3.6 $0.3 $3.3 Deferred Tax Liabilities From Operating Leases 2.0 2.0 Other Deferred Tax Liabilities 0.5 0.5 Net Deferred Tax Asset $1.1 $0.8 DTA Disallowed From Regulatory Capital $0.9 U.S. Federal NOLs Global Operating Lease DTLs Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding (1) Assumes no incremental tax from separation transaction (2) Subject to section 382 limitation of $265 million per year (2)

3 Maintain Strong Risk Management

 
 

21 CIT’s Risk Management Practices Are Aligned With Commercial Banks  In our underwriting, we focus on earning appropriate risk - adjusted returns through the cycle  We focus on senior secured lending, drawing on our expertise as an asset - based lender  We maintain strong liquidity at both the holding company and bank levels  Our evolution toward deposit funding is positive for our liquidity position  We balance internal economic views with regulatory expectations including the CCAR process to determine our target capital levels and mix  Management determines and Board approves our risk appetite, defining the boundaries of our strategic plans  Management sets policies and procedures to monitor and control risk  Entire organization responsible for maintaining a strong risk culture Risk Management Components Credit Risk Liquidity Risk Capital Adequacy

 
 

22 Overall Credit Trends Are Stable With the Exception of Energy and Dry - Bulk  In our commercial loan book, charge - offs remain at low levels and non - accruals are approximately 1% of finance receivables  Expect near - term elevated charges related to certain energy and dry - bulk exposures  We have strong credit management and industry teams which have experienced many cycles Non - accrual Loans / Total Loans Allowance for Loan Losses / Total Loans (1) Peers include: BBT, CFG, CMA, FITB, HBAN, KEY, MTB, RF, STI, ZION (2) Allowance for loan losses plus principal loss discount as a percent of total loans (before principal loss discount) 1.3% 0.8% 0.9% 1.0% 0.8% 0.7% 2013 2014 2015 CIT Peer Average 1.9% 1.8% 1.8% 1.6% 1.4% 1.3% 2013 2014 2015 CIT Peer Average (1) (1) (2)

 
 

23 Exposure To Energy Through Our Lending and Railcar Leasing Units Note: Data as of 12/31/15 (1) Reflects the purchase accounting discount for loans acquired from OneWest Bank and the allowance for loan losses Railcar Leasing  Tank and sand cars used to transport crude oil or support oil and natural gas drilling represent 22% of total railcars – ~3,500 cars (Net investment of ~$200M) up for renewal in 2016 in addition to deliveries of new railcars – Diverse rail energy customer exposure with majority ~50% in midstream marketing or logistics Total North American Cars: ~116,000 (Oil & Gas: ~22% of Total Cars) Oil & Gas Tank Cars 13% Oil & Gas Covered Hoppers 9%  Portfolio management – Diverting cars to alternative services (e.g. sand to cement, tank cars to ethanol and other refined products) – Working with manufacturers to manage orders – Lengthen lease terms at higher rates during market upswings. Shorten lease terms while lease rates are weaker  $940M energy lending portfolio – Geographically diversified across major producing basins – ~27% of loans are criticized – 10% loss coverage (1) – 89% shared national credits Lending Total Loans: $31.7B Energy: $0.9B (~3% of Total Loans)  We believe the overall portfolio size is manageable – We are actively monitoring our energy credits – Expect to increase energy reserves approximately $25M in the first quarter due to an increase in non - accrual energy loans Commercial $23.9B Other $6.9B Midstream $0.2B Services $0.3B Exploration & Production $0.5B Locomotives 0% Other 3% Flatcars 4% Boxcars 7% Mill/Coil Gondolas 11% Coal 11% Tank Cars (Other) 12% Covered Hopper (Other) 31%  Over 50% of North American rail customers are investment grade (by Net investment)
