FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this presentation may include forward-looking statements which reflect Regions' current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("the Act") provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements which are identified as such and are
accompanied by the identification of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. For these statements, we,
together with our subsidiaries, unless the context implies otherwise, claim the protection afforded by the safe harbor in the Act. Forward-looking statements are not based on
historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based on
management's expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Those
statements are based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the
views, beliefs, and projections expressed in such statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below:
Regions' ability to achieve the earnings expectations related to businesses that have been acquired, including its merger with AmSouth Bancorporation which in turn
depends on a variety of factors, including:
Regions' ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements with respect to the acquired operations, or lower than expected revenues from
continuing operations;
the assimilation of the combined companies’
corporate cultures;
the continued growth of the markets that the acquired entities serve, consistent with recent historical experience;
difficulties related to the integration of the businesses, including integration of information systems and retention of key personnel.
Regions' ability to expand into new markets and to maintain profit margins in the face of competitive pressures.
Regions' ability to keep pace with technological changes.
Regions' ability to develop competitive new products and services in a timely manner and the acceptance of such products and
services by Regions' customers and
potential customers.
Regions' ability to effectively manage interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, operational risk, legal risk, and regulatory and compliance risk.
Regions' ability to manage fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet exposure so as to maintain sufficient capital and liquidity to support
Regions' business.
The cost and other effects of material contingencies, including litigation contingencies.
The effects of increased competition from both banks and non-banks.
Further easing of restrictions on participants in the financial services industry, such as banks, securities brokers and dealers, investment companies and finance
companies, may increase competitive pressures.
Possible changes in interest rates may increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields, thus reducing margins.
Possible changes in general economic and business conditions
in the United States in general and in the communities Regions serves in particular.
Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of collectibility of loans.
The effects of geopolitical instability and risks such as terrorist attacks.
Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws, and regulations, and other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations, including
changes in accounting standards, may have an adverse effect on business.
Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits could affect Regions' ability to increase assets and to
attract deposits.
The effects of weather and natural disasters such as hurricanes.
The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project," and similar expressions often signify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-
looking statements. Any such statement speaks only as of the date the statement was made. Regions undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements.

Commercial Real Estate
CRE Portfolio by Product
CRE Portfolio Characteristics
CRE portfolio is diversified by product, loan
size, and by geography
CRE portfolio is very granular with the
average note size under $500 thousand
This average note size is reflective of real
estate in our Community Banks
Loans are generally underwritten
based on the individual borrower's financial
strength and consequently provide a
different risk profile than larger CRE loans
Top 5 MSA concentrations are Atlanta,
Miami, Nashville, Tampa, and Birmingham,
all of which are under 10%
Note: Commercial Real Estate by Product per September 30, 2007 Call Report Schedule RC-C.
Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate is based on the credit strength of
the operating company (borrower) and does not depend on the real
estate
for repayment
