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, or that may be
acquired in the future.
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 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
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, liquidity risk, and regulatory and compliance risk.
The current stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible continued deterioration in property values
The
cost
and
other
effects
of
material
contingencies,
including
litigation
contingencies.
The effects of increased competition from both banks and non-banks.
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 droughts and hurricanes.
Congress recently enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, and the U.S. Treasury and banking regulators are implementing a number of programs
to  address capital and liquidity issues in the banking system, all of which may have significant effects on Regions and the financial services industry, the exact nature of
which  cannot be determined at this time.
The
foregoing
list
of
factors
is
not
exhaustive;
for
discussion
of
these
and
other
risks
that
may
cause
actual
results
to
differ
from
expectations,
please
look

caption
