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 credit risk, interest rate risk, market 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.
In October of 2008, Congress enacted, and the President signed into law,  the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and on February 17, 2009 the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law.  Additionally, the U.S. Treasury and federal 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
under
the
caption
“Forward-Looking
Statements”
in
Regions’
Annual
Report
on
Form
10-K
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2008,
as
on
file
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission.
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, which speak only as of the date made. Regions assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time.
