Summary of 8-k discussion

4Q06 Repositioning/Mid-Quarter Update: November 20, 2006

Considerations

Securities portfolio determined to be larger than needed for liquidity,

collateral, asset/liability management needs

—

Required securities portfolio a function of: liquidity and collateral

requirements; composition of assets, liability and equity; structure of

hedging strategy (cash positions vs. derivatives); and interest rate

environment

—

Determined that current interest rate risk management requirements for

the securities book only slightly exceed our liquidity and collateral needs

–

Liquidity

and

collateral

requirements

–

approximately

$11

billion

Carrying larger than needed securities portfolio with wholesale

borrowings, involving unnecessary leverage and negative spread

—

Higher than necessary concentration in fixed-rate assets

Uncertainty regarding future direction of short-term rates and shape of

yield curve

—

Fairly significant exposure to negative effect from higher short-term rates

—

Similar exposure to positive effect from lower short-term rates

4Q06 Repositioning/Mid-Quarter Update: November 20, 2006

Securities sales, reduction of borrowings

Selling approximately $11.5 billion of available-for-sale (AFS) securities

—

Weighted average yield of approximately 4.30%; duration about 3 years

—

Pre-tax loss approximately $460 million ($300 million after-tax, or $0.53/share)

Terminating $1.1 billion of repurchase and reverse repurchase

agreements

—

Pre-tax loss of approximately $40 million ($25 million after-tax, or $0.05/share)

Reinvesting approximately $2.8 billion in AFS securities which provide

superior collateral efficiency

—

Net reduction of approximately $8.7 billion in AFS securities

Repayment of approximately $8.7 billion in wholesale borrowings

—

Weighted average rate paid of approximately 5.30% on borrowings repaid;

primarily fed funds purchased,

repos, FHLB

Frees up approximately $650 million in capital

—

Holding 3Q06 tangible equity ratio constant

4Q06 Repositioning/Mid-Quarter Update: November 20, 2006

Net interest income and net interest margin

Annualized benefit of approximately $110-120 million pre-tax to net

interest income

—

Given current market rate expectations

—

Reflects benefits of net reduction in fixed-rate positions and elimination

of negative carry from wholesale funding

Annualized benefit of approximately 35-40 bps to net interest margin

4Q06 benefit depends on actual timing of sales, hedging

—

Expected to be relatively modest

4Q06 Repositioning/Mid-Quarter Update: November 20, 2006

Interest rate sensitivity

New positioning results in relatively neutral interest rate sensitivity

positioning

—

Appropriate given flat yield curve and uncertainty on direction of rates

and yield curve

Adding interest rate derivatives in the form of swaps, caps and floors

—

Expected to reduce net interest income by approximately $40 million

and net interest margin by about 5 bps

—

To reduce exposure to significant upwards and downwards movements

in market interest rates

Net interest income sensitivity:

—

Sensitivity to upward and downward shifts in the curve of 100 and 200

bps projected to be less than 0.3%*

* For 12 months policy period, see interest rate sensitivity discussion in quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion

of interest rate risk modeling.
