5 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Northern Trust"), all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1995 and 1994 have not been audited by independent public accountants. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current period's consolidated financial statements. For a description of Northern Trust's significant accounting principles, refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.

7 At March 31, 1995, other domestic and international loans include $732.9 million of overnight trust-related advances in connection with next day security settlements, compared with $716.5 million at December 31, 1994 and $679.0 million at March 31, 1994. Northern Trust adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", effective January 1, 1995. These statements provide guidance as to when loans should be classified and reported as impaired and address how the reserve for credit losses related to these loans should be determined. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Northern Trust will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These new statements require that an impaired loan be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's market price, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, based on the fair value of the collateral. Any shortfall in the estimated value of the impaired loan compared with the recorded investment of the loan is identified as an allocated portion of the reserve for credit losses and is one of the factors considered by management in their overall assessment of reserve adequacy. No changes were required to Northern Trust's accounting policies for loans, charge-offs and interest income as a result of adopting these statements. These policies are described in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Footnotes 1E and 1F) in the 1994 Annual Report. At March 31, 1995, nonperforming assets totaled $25.4 million. Included in this amount were loans with a recorded investment of $21.0 million which were also classified as impaired. Impaired loans totaling $16.6 million had no portion of the reserve for credit losses allocated to them, while $4.4 million had an allocated reserve of $1.1 million. For the first quarter of 1995, the total recorded investment in impaired loans averaged $26.5 million. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to reduce principal if the ultimate collectibility of principal, wholly or partially, is in doubt. If specific facts support that principal is fully recoverable, interest payments are applied to interest in accordance with the loan's original contract terms. Total interest income recognized on impaired loans for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $148 thousand, most of which was recognized using the cash-basis method of accounting. 6. RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES - Changes in the reserve for credit losses were as follows:

8 7. ACQUISITIONS - The acquisition of Beach One Financial Services, Inc., parent company of The Beach Bank of Vero Beach, Florida, was completed on March 31, 1995. The acquisition was effected through a merger in which Northern Trust Corporation issued 1,622,568 shares of its Common Stock. The Corporation has accounted for the transaction as a pooling-of-interests. Prior period consolidated financial statements were not restated due to the immateriality of the transaction. In February, 1995, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tanglewood Bancshares, Inc., parent company of Tanglewood Bank N.A., Houston for $33.0 million in cash. Tanglewood's assets totaled $229.9 million at December 31, 1994 and net income totaled $2.6 million in 1994. The agreement is subject to the approval of Tanglewood shareholders and to various regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 1995. In March, 1995, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire RCB International, Inc., an international provider of institutional investment management services, for approximately $14.2 million in cash and 608,571 shares of Northern Trust Corporation Common Stock, with a portion payable at closing and the balance payable through a deferred compensation plan. RCB, headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut and with offices in Toronto and the United Kingdom, had net revenues of $10.3 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. The agreement is subject to the approval of RCB shareholders, final due diligence, regulatory approvals and other legal requirements and is expected to close in the second half of 1995. 9 Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS Net income for the first quarter totaled a record $49.3 million, an increase of 9% from the $45.4 million reported in the first quarter of 1994. Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis increased 7% to $.85 from $.80 in 1994. This earnings performance produced an annualized return on average common equity (ROE) of 16.84% versus 17.86% reported last year and a return on average assets (ROA) of 1.09% versus 1.06% in 1994. Record levels of trust fees, net interest income, foreign exchange trading profits and a lower provision for credit losses as a result of continued strong asset quality contributed to the quarter's performance. Partially offsetting these positive factors was a 9.5% increase in noninterest expenses compared with the first quarter of last year. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income totaled $161.6 million for the quarter, accounting for 62% of total taxable equivalent revenue, an 8% improvement from the $149.6 million earned in the first quarter of 1994. Trust fees, which represent 75% of noninterest income and 47% of total taxable equivalent revenue, grew 10% or $11.3 million over last year reaching $120.8 million. The increase in trust fees reflects $4.7 million in fees from Hazlehurst & Associates, Inc., an April 1994 acquisition, higher securities lending revenues, and growth in investment management services, as well as stronger trust fees from Personal Financial Services (PFS). Total trust assets under administration at quarter-end were $519.9 billion, up $40.1 billion from one year ago. Trust fees from Corporate and Institutional Services (C&IS) were up 15% to $61.5 million. The Hazlehurst acquisition, securities lending activities and investment management services were the principal factors contributing to the growth over the year ago quarter. Domestic and international lending fees, up 34% versus last year, reflect a 14% increase in the volume of securities loaned as well as higher spreads earned from the investment of the cash collateral. The higher spreads are attributable to the short-term nature of the cash collateral pools which has allowed for favorable fund management during a period of rising interest rates. Investment management fees increased 18% as a result of new business, particularly in actively managed equity funds and fixed income investments. C&IS trust assets under administration grew 8% or $34.8 billion over last year and now total $464.9 billion. Assets under the management of Northern Trust total $53.9 billion, up 19% from a year ago. PFS trust fees increased 6% to $59.3 million. The main contributors to this fee growth were the Wealth Management Group and the Florida, California and Texas subsidiaries. PFS trust assets under administration grew $5.3 billion or 11% to $55.0 billion of which $33.6 billion is managed by Northern Trust. Total PFS trust assets under management grew 10% from the prior year. 10 Security commissions and trading income totaled $5.9 million, compared with $6.8 million reported in the first quarter of last year. The decline in fee income resulted primarily from a lower level of client transaction activity in the fixed income markets during the quarter. Other operating income of $34.8 million increased 5% from the first quarter of 1994. Foreign exchange trading profits were at record levels and totaled $11.2 million, an increase of 12%. The fee portion of treasury management revenues rose 3% to $12.3 million. Total treasury management revenues, which, in addition to fees, include the value of compensating deposit balances, increased 11% and totaled $19.9 million. These compensating deposit balances contributed to the improvement in net interest income. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the first quarter totaled a record $88.5 million, 9% higher than the $81.5 million reported in the first quarter of 1994. Net interest income is defined as the total of interest income and amortized fees on earning assets less interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds adjusted for the impact of off-balance sheet hedging activity. When net interest income is adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable, although the adjustment to a FTE basis has no impact on net income. Net interest income on a FTE basis for the first quarter was a record $98.1 million, up 10% from the $89.4 million reported in 1994. This increase is due to higher levels of average earning assets in addition to a modest improvement in the net interest margin to 2.43% from 2.40% last year. Earning assets for the first quarter averaged $16.3 billion, up 8% from the $15.1 billion in the first quarter of 1994. The $1.2 billion growth in earning assets reflects an 8% or $605 million increase in average loans, a $971 million or 20% growth in average securities and a $338 million or 14% decrease in average money market assets. Loan volume averaged $8.5 billion, an increase of $605 million from the first quarter of 1994, reflecting a $693 million or 9% growth in domestic lending. Approximately one-half of the increase in domestic lending is attributed to residential mortgage loans now accounting for 39% of the total loan portfolio. In addition, domestic and international overnight advances related to processing certain trust client investments averaged $589 million, up $116 million from a year ago. Securities for the quarter averaged $5.7 billion, up 20% from the $4.8 billion reported last year, due primarily to a $2.9 billion increase in short-term federal agency securities, partially offset by a $2.0 billion reduction in U.S. Government securities. Money market assets averaged $2.1 billion in the first quarter versus $2.4 billion in 1994. The $1.2 billion increase in average earning assets was funded primarily by growth in interest-bearing time deposits and noninterest-related funds. Interest-bearing deposits averaged $9.3 billion, up $1.8 billion from the first quarter of 1994. This growth is principally from savings certificates (up $618 million), global custody deposit activity in London (up $593 million), and an increase of $655 million in other foreign time deposits. The 56% increase in the average volume of savings certificates is due in large part to successful certificate of deposit campaigns conducted periodically over the past several quarters. This inflow of funds has helped to reduce the reliance on wholesale funding sources, as average borrowed funds declined by $899 million from last year. Average noninterest-related funds increased $327 million, mainly due to growth 11 in stockholders' equity and other liabilities. Total average stockholders' equity, supported by continued strong earnings performance, increased $142 million or 12% from the first quarter of 1994. The net interest margin increased to 2.43% compared with 2.40% last year due primarily to a significant growth in noninterest-related funds, improved spreads on short-term federal agency securities and the widening spread between short- term assets and various short-term deposits. PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES Significant improvement in asset quality continued, resulting in a reduction in the provision for credit losses to $1.5 million from the $3.0 million in the first quarter of 1994. For a discussion of the reserve for credit losses, refer to the Asset Quality section on pages 13 through 15. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Noninterest expenses totaled $177.3 million for the quarter, up $15.4 million or 9.5% from $161.9 million in the first quarter of 1994. Approximately $4.0 million of the increase resulted from the inclusion of expenses from Hazlehurst & Associates, Inc., acquired in the second quarter of 1994. The remainder of the increase was concentrated primarily in salaries and benefits, and expenses from technology-related investments, personal trust business expansion, and Northern's growing global custody business. Salaries and benefits, which represent 59% of total noninterest expenses, increased 11% to $104.0 million. Salary costs, the largest component of noninterest expenses, totaled $82.5 million, up 11% from a year ago. Merit increases, higher levels of agency clerical services and overtime costs, and additions to staff from the Hazlehurst acquisition were the principal contributors to the increase. Staff on a full-time equivalent basis, including 174 positions at Hazlehurst, averaged 6,601 compared with 6,260 in 1994. Employee benefit costs for the quarter totaled $21.5 million, up 13% from the prior year. The majority of the increase in benefit costs was attributable to health care, retirement benefits and higher payroll taxes. Net occupancy expenses totaled $14.2 million, up 4% or $.5 million from $13.7 million in 1994. The principal components of the increase were higher maintenance and lease operating costs and amortization of leasehold improvements, as well as expansion costs related to the opening of new offices in Florida and Illinois. Equipment expense, which includes depreciation, rental, and maintenance costs, totaled $12.6 million, up 11% from $11.3 million in the first quarter of 1994, reflecting increases in depreciation, maintenance and rental costs for equipment and computers to support trust business expansion. Other operating expenses totaled $46.5 million, up 7% from $43.4 million in the first quarter of 1994. Computer software amortization which increased $1.6 million to $8.2 million, along with increases in professional services, transaction-based depository fees, business promotion and advertising, telephone and postage contributed to the expense growth. Partially offsetting these 12 expense increases were lower levels of costs incurred from processing errors and other real estate owned operating costs. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes was $22.0 million for the first quarter compared with $20.8 million in 1994. The higher tax provision in 1995 resulted from the growth in taxable earnings for federal income tax purposes while tax-exempt income declined slightly. Partially offsetting this was a lower state income tax provision due to increased levels of tax-exempt income for state purposes. The effective tax rate was 31% for both periods. BALANCE SHEET On March 31, 1995, Northern Trust Corporation issued 1,622,568 shares of common stock, valued at $56.2 million under the acquisition agreement, to complete the acquisition of Beach One Financial Services, Inc., parent of The Beach Bank of Vero Beach, Florida ("Beach Bank"). The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and the balance sheet reflects the assets and liabilities of Beach Bank as of March 31, 1995 only. Due to the immateriality of the transaction, Northern Trust elected not to restate prior period financial statements. Total assets as of March 31, 1995 were $18.7 billion and averaged $18.4 billion for the first quarter, up 6% from the year ago quarter's average of $17.3 billion. With increased lending activity, in addition to the March 31 acquisition of Beach Bank, loans and leases totaled $8.9 billion at March 31, 1995, and averaged $8.5 billion for the quarter. This compares with $8.1 billion in total loans on March 31, 1994 and $7.9 billion on average for the first quarter of last year. Driven primarily by continued strong earnings growth and the acquisition of Beach Bank, common stockholders' equity increased 16% and totaled $1.178 billion at March 31, 1995, versus $1.014 billion at March 31, 1994. Total stockholders' equity increased commensurately and totaled $1.348 billion at March 31, 1995 compared with $1.184 billion at March 31, 1994. Northern Trust's risk-based capital ratios remained strong at 9.4% for tier 1 and 12.8% for total capital at quarter end. These capital ratios are well above the minimum regulatory requirements of 4% for tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital ratios. The leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to first quarter average assets) of 6.6% at March 31, 1995, also exceeded the regulatory requirement of 3%. See footnote 7 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of pending acquisitions. ASSET QUALITY Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and leases, restructured loans, and other real estate owned (OREO). Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1995 totaled $25.4 million, the lowest level since September, 1981, compared with $30.0 million at December 31, 1994 and $45.8 million at March 31, 1994. Domestic nonaccrual loans and leases, consisting primarily of commercial loans, totaled $19.7 million, or .23% of total domestic loans and leases at March 31, 1995. Included in this total are commercial real estate loans of $9.5 million. At December 31, 13 1994 and March 31, 1994, domestic nonaccrual loans totaled $26.5 million and $38.7 million, respectively. The following Nonperforming Asset table presents the outstanding amounts of nonaccrual loans and leases, restructured loans and OREO. Also shown are loans that have interest or principal payments that are delinquent 90 days or more and are still accruing interest. The balance in this category at any quarter end can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiations and renewals. Nonperforming Assets and 90 Day Past Due Loans and Leases

PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The provision for credit losses is the charge against current earnings that is determined by management through a disciplined credit review process as the amount needed to maintain a reserve that is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in Northern Trust's loan and lease portfolios and other credit undertakings. While the largest portion of this reserve is intended to cover loan and lease losses, it is considered a general reserve that is available to cover all credit-related exposures. The 1995 first quarter provision for credit losses was $1.5 million, compared with $3.0 million in 1994. Net charge-offs totaled $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1995 versus net charge-offs of $2.9 million last year. The reserve for credit losses was $145.8 million equal to 1.64% of outstanding loans at March 31, 1995. This compares with $144.8 million or 1.69% of outstanding loans at December 31, 1994 and $145.6 million or 1.80% of outstanding loans at March 31, 1994. The lower reserve to outstanding loans ratio at March 31, 1995 is attributable to loan growth, a significant portion of which is in low-risk residential lending. The overall credit quality of the domestic portfolio has remained good as evidenced by the low level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Management's assessment of the current U.S. economy and the financial condition of certain clients facing financial difficulties together with portfolio growth were primary factors impacting management's decision to maintain the reserve for credit losses at $145.8 million at March 31, 1995, essentially unchanged from December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1994. 14 Northern Trust continues to monitor closely several credits, but the overall quality of its loan portfolio remains sound and the reserve for credit losses is adequate to cover credit-related uncertainties as they exist today. Established credit review procedures ensure that close attention is given to commercial real estate-related loans and other commercial loans, as well as other credit exposures that might be adversely affected by significant increases in interest rates or unexpected downturns in segments of the economies of the United States or other countries. 15 The following schedule should be read in conjunction with the Net Interest Income section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME Northern Trust Corporation

PERO Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Date: May 12, 1995 By: HARRY W. SHORT --------------------- HARRY W. SHORT Senior Vice President and Controller (Chief Accounting Officer) 20 EX-10 2 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN Exhibit Number (10) To 3/31/95 Form 10Q NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION AMENDED 1992 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN 1. PURPOSE. The Northern Trust Corporation Amended 1992 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide a sense of recognition and managerial participation among key officers of Northern Trust Corporation (the "Corporation") and its subsidiaries, by providing them with opportunities to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Corporation ("Common Stock") and cash payments ("Awards") based on the value or increase in the value of such shares in accordance with the terms of the Awards described herein. 2. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Committee shall consist of at least two (2) of such Directors as the Board may designate from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, membership of the Committee shall be limited to Board members who meet the "disinterested person" definition in Rule 16b-3 under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the "outside director" definition under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. 3. PARTICIPANTS. Participants will consist of key officers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries as the Committee in its sole discretion determines to be mainly responsible for the success and future growth and profitability of the Corporation and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Awards under the Plan. Awards may be granted to participants who are or were previously participants under this or other plans of the Corporation or any subsidiary and, with the agreement of the participant, may be granted in substitution, exchange or cancellation of any rights or benefits then or theretofore held under this or other plans of the Corporation or any subsidiary. The Corporation may continue to award bonuses and other compensation to participants under other programs now in existence or hereafter established. 4. TYPES OF AWARDS. Awards under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of (a) Stock Options, (b) Stock Appreciation Rights, (c) Performance Shares, (d) Stock Awards, and (e) Stock Equivalents, all as described below. 5. SHARES RESERVED UNDER THE PLAN. There is hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 3,750,000 (reflecting an adjustment for the November, 1992 three-for-two stock split) shares of Common Stock, $1.66 2/3 par value, which may be authorized but unissued or treasury shares. Such total number of shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof, and a share subject to a Stock Option and its related Stock Appreciation Right shall only be counted once. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which a participant may receive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan is 300,000, subject to the provisions of Section 11 hereof. Any shares subject to Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, issued as Performance Shares or Stock Awards or allotted as Stock Equivalents may thereafter be subject to new Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, issued as Performance Shares or Stock Awards or allotted as Stock Equivalents under this Plan if there is a lapse, cancellation, forfeiture, surrender, expiration or termination of any such Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares, Stock Awards or Stock Equivalents, or if shares are issued under such Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or as such Performance Shares, Stock Awards or Stock Equivalents, and thereafter are reacquired by the Corporation pursuant to rights reserved by the Corporation upon issuance thereof. 6. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Options under the Plan to any participant hereunder. Each Stock Option granted hereunder shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant, the general provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Option Agreement, and the following specific rules: (a) Stock Options granted to a participant under the Plan shall be governed by a Stock Option Agreement, which shall specify such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. (b) Except as provided in subsection (d) below, Stock Options will consist of options to purchase Common Stock at purchase prices not less than 100% of the fair market value thereof on the date the Stock Options are granted. (c) Stock Options will be exercisable not earlier than six months after the date they are granted and will terminate not later than three years after termination of employment for any reason other than death. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Stock Options granted on or after April 18, 1995, which are not Incentive Stock Options, will terminate not later than five years from the date of the participant's termination of employment on account of retirement, disability or death (but in no event beyond the expiration of ten years from the date of grant). (d) Stock Options may, but need not, be "Incentive Stock Options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"); provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to such Incentive Stock Option on the date of grant; (ii) Incentive Stock Options will be exercisable not later than ten years after the date of grant; and (iii) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a participant who, at the time of grant, owns (as defined in Section 425(d) of the Code) stock of the Corporation or its subsidiaries possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of any such corporation, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option at the time it is granted and the Incentive Stock Option, by its terms, shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of its grant. The aggregate fair market value (determined with respect to each Incentive Stock Option as of the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of capital stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option plans of the Corporation and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000. (e) Leaves of absence for military service or illness, and transfers of employment between the Corporation and any subsidiary thereof or between subsidiaries, shall not constitute termination of employment. (f) Stock Options may provide that they may be exercised by payment of the purchase price (i) in cash, (ii) by the Corporation's withholding a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise distributable to the participant, and/or (iii) by the participant's delivering to the corporation shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. In the event that the exercise price of a Stock Option is paid in whole or in part by the withholding or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, the number of shares so withheld or delivered shall be the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value on the date of such withholding or delivery equal to such Stock Option exercise price, or portion thereof, so paid. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Stock Option Agreement may provide that a Stock Option will become exercisable as of the date of a Change in Control of the Corporation. For purposes of the Plan, a "Change in Control" of the Corporation shall be deemed to occur on the earliest of: (i) The receipt by the Corporation of a Schedule 13D or other statement filed under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), indicating that any entity, person, or group has acquired beneficial ownership, as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of more than 30% of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors ("voting stock"); (ii) The commencement by an entity, person, or group (other than the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation) of a tender offer or an exchange offer for more than 20% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation; (iii) The effective time of (1) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more other corporations as a result of which the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than 80% of the voting stock of the surviving or resulting corporation, or (2) a transfer of substantially all of the property of the Corporation other than to an entity of which the Corporation owns at least 80% of the voting stock; or (iv) The election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, without the recommendation or approval of the incumbent Board of Directors of the Corporation, of the lesser of (1) three directors or (2) directors constituting a majority of the number of directors of the Corporation then in office. (h) The Committee may prescribe such other terms and conditions applicable to Stock Options granted to a participant under the Plan that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or any Stock Option Agreement. 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant a Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan to the holder of any Stock Option granted hereunder. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant, the general provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, and the following specific rules: (a) Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a participant under the Plan shall be governed by a Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, which shall specify such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. (b) A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with a Stock Option at the time of the grant of the Stock Option or at any time thereafter up to six months prior to the expiration of the Stock Option. (c) Each Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the holder to elect to receive, in lieu of exercising the Stock Option to which it relates, an amount (payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or a combination thereof, determined by the Committee and set forth in the related Stock Appreciation Agreement) of up to 100% (or such lesser percentage as determined by the Committee and set forth in the related Stock Appreciation Right Agreement) of the excess of (i) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by the number of shares of the Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price under the terms of the related Stock Option for such number of shares. (d) Each Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at the time and to the extent that the Stock Option to which it relates is exercisable, provided that no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during the first six months following the date of its grant. (e) Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option (or portion thereof) with respect to which such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and any other Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to such Stock Option (or portion thereof) shall be surrendered to the Corporation and shall not thereafter be exercisable. (f) Exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the related Stock Option and available under the Plan to the extent of the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. (g) The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Limited Stock Appreciation Rights, which shall be exercisable only for cash automatically upon a Change in Control of the Corporation (as defined in Section 6(g)). Except as provided in this subsection (g) hereof, a Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as other Stock Appreciation Rights. (h) The Committee may prescribe such other terms and conditions applicable to Stock Appreciation Rights and Limited Stock Appreciation Rights that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or any Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. 8. PERFORMANCE SHARES. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Performance Shares under the Plan to any participant hereunder. Each Performance Share granted hereunder shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant, the general provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the related Performance Share Agreement, and the following specific rules: (a) Performance Shares granted to a participant under the Plan shall be governed by a Performance Share Agreement, which shall specify such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. (b) With respect to each performance period (each of which shall be no less than one year in duration), the Committee shall establish such performance goals relating to the profitability of the Corporation over such performance periods measured by such factors or combination of factors, as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine. Performance goals may vary among participants. If, in the sole opinion of the Committee, achievement of established performance goals has ceased to be a reasonable measure of the intended performance, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, increase or decrease such performance goals and establish new performance goals that are a reasonable measure of the intended performance. (c) With respect to each performance period, the Committee shall establish targets for participants for achievement of performance goals. All targets so established shall be stated as numbers of Performance Shares, each of which shall represent the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Performance Share Agreement governing its grant, to the distribution of a share of Common Stock of the Corporation plus dividends, as adjusted, accruing from the effective date of the credit (as described in subsection (d) below) of such Performance Share. (d) Following the completion of each performance period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which performance goals for that performance period have been achieved and shall authorize credit as of the end of such performance period of Performance Shares, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Performance Share Agreements, to the Accounts of participants for whom targets were established, which Accounts shall be maintained by the Corporation for each participant who is credited with Performance Shares under the Plan and remains eligible for any distribution therefrom. (e) Each Performance Share credited to a participant's Account, along with dividends accruing from the effective date of credit of such Performance Share, shall be distributed to him, or in the event of his death to his beneficiary, upon the first to occur during his employment of (i) his retirement, disability or death, (ii) the third anniversary of the date on which such Performance Share was credited to the participant's Account, or (iii) for any other reason deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding, clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, a participant may elect, in writing, to have a Performance Share and related dividends distributed to him on a date later than on the third anniversary of the date on which such Performance Share was credited to his Account; provided, however, that in such event, distribution of the Performance Share and related dividends shall be distributed on the first to occur during the participant's employment of the events specified in clause (i) or (iii) above or, if earlier, upon the first to occur of the date specified by the participant or the date his employment with the Corporation terminates for any reason following the third anniversary of the date on which such Performance Share was credited to his Account. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Performance Share Agreement may provide that Performance Shares credited to participants' Accounts, as well as Performance Shares targeted with respect to any performance period, will become immediately distributable to participants, in whole or in part, upon a Change in Control (as defined in Section 6(g)). (g) The Committee may prescribe such other terms and conditions applicable to Performance Shares granted to a participant under the Plan that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or any Performance Share Agreement. 9. STOCK AWARDS. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant, or sell for such amount of cash, Common Stock or such other consideration as the Committee deems appropriate (which amount may be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or sale), shares of Common Stock under the Plan to any participant hereunder. Each share of Common Stock granted or sold hereunder shall be subject to such restrictions, conditions and other terms as the Committee may determine at the time of grant or sale, the general provisions of the Plan, the restrictions, terms and conditions of the related Stock Award Agreement, and the following specific rules: (a) Shares of Common Stock issued to a participant under the Plan shall be governed by a Stock Award Agreement, which shall specify whether the shares of Common Stock are granted or sold to the participant and such other provisions, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. (b) The Corporation shall issue, in the name of the participant, stock certificates representing the total number of shares of Common Stock granted or sold to the participant, as soon as may be reasonably practicable after such grant or sale, which shall be held by the Secretary of the Corporation as provided in subsection (g) hereof. (c) Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (d) hereof, and the restrictions set forth in the related Stock Award Agreement, the participants receiving a grant of or purchasing Common Stock shall thereupon be a stockholder with respect to all of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates and shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares. (d) The Committee may prescribe, in its discretion, that any share of Common Stock granted to a participant pursuant to the Plan shall be forfeited, and any share of Common Stock sold to a participant pursuant to the Plan shall, at the Corporation's option, be resold to the Corporation for an amount equal to the value of the cash and/or property paid therefor, and, in either case, such shares shall revert to the Corporation, if (i) the participant violates a non-competition or confidentiality agreement or other condition set forth in the Stock Award Agreement, or (ii) the participant's employment with the Corporation or its subsidiaries terminates prior to a date or dates for expiration of the forfeiture or resale provisions set forth in his Stock Award Agreement, which date shall not be earlier than the first anniversary of such grant or sale. The Corporation shall exercise its right to require a forfeiture, and may exercise its right to require a resale, of Common Stock pursuant to this subsection by giving written notice to the participant at any time within the thirty-day period following (i) the date that the Corporation acquires knowledge of his violation of a non-competition or confidentiality agreement or other condition, or (ii) the participant's termination of employment with the Corporation or its subsidiaries prior to such date set forth in the related Stock Award Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, the Secretary of the Corporation shall promptly cancel shares of Common Stock that are forfeited or resold to the Corporation, and the Corporation shall make payment therefor, if applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of such resale. (e) The Committee, in its discretion, shall have the power to accelerate the date on which the restrictions contained in any Stock Award Agreement shall lapse with respect to any or all shares of Common Stock granted or sold under the Plan that have been outstanding for at least one year. (f) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Stock Award Agreement may provide that (i) upon the participant's termination of employment because of his retirement, death or disability (as determined by the Committee), or (ii) upon a Change in Control of the Corporation (as described in section 6(g)), any restrictions of this Section 9 or in any Stock Award Agreement shall lapse. (g) The Secretary of the Corporation shall hold the certificate or certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued under this Section 9 of the Plan on behalf of each participant who holds such shares, whether by grant or sale, until such time as the Common Stock is forfeited, resold to the Corporation, or the restrictions lapse. (h) The Committee may prescribe such other restrictions, terms and conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock issued to a participant under this Section 9 of the Plan that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or any Stock Award Agreement, including, without limitation, terms providing for a lapse of the restrictions of this Section 9 or in any Stock Award Agreement, in installments. 10. STOCK EQUIVALENTS. The Committee may, in its discretion, award Stock Equivalents under the Plan to participants hereunder. Each Stock Equivalent granted hereunder shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant, the general provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Equivalent Agreement and the following specific rules: (a) Grants of Stock Equivalents to a participant under the Plan shall be governed by a Stock Equivalent Agreement, which shall specify such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. (b) Any participant who is awarded a Stock Equivalent shall be entitled to receive a payment, in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, as provided in the Stock Equivalent Agreement, equal to (i) the fair market value or book value, at a specified date or dates, of a designated number of shares of Common Stock; (ii) the appreciation in the fair market value or the book value, occurring during a specified period of time, of a designated number of shares of Common Stock; or (iii) the fair market value or book value, at the date of the Award, payable at a specified date or dates, of a designated number of shares of Common Stock. (c) The date or dates for determining fair market value or book value, or for payment, or the period of time over which the appreciation in fair market value or book value shall be measured, as the case may be, shall be established by the Committee and shall be specified in the applicable Stock Equivalent Agreement, provided that such date, dates or period of time shall not include any dates or period occurring later than ten years after the date of the Award. (d) Stock Equivalents may be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the Committee determines appropriate, which may include, without limitation, requirements for the achievement of performance goals. (e) Any Stock Equivalent may provide that the participant shall receive, on the date of payment of any dividend on Common Stock occurring during the period preceding payment of the Award, an amount in cash equal in value to the dividends that the participant would have received had he been the actual owner of the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the Committee at the time of the Award. (f) The Corporation's obligation to make payments or distributions with respect to Stock Equivalents shall not be funded or secured in any manner. (g) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Stock Equivalent Agreement may provide that a Stock Equivalent will become immediately vested and payable, in whole or in part, upon a Change in Control (as defined in Section 6(g)). (h) The Committee may prescribe such other terms and conditions applicable to Stock Equivalents granted to a participant under the Plan that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or any Stock Equivalent Agreement. 11. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS. (a) The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to each outstanding Award, and, where applicable, the exercise price per share of each Award, may all be appropriately adjusted as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine for any increase or decrease in the number of shares of issued Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, stock distribution or combination of shares, or the payment of a share dividend or other increase or decrease in the number of such shares outstanding effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation. Adjustments under this Section 11 shall be made according to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive. (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and without affecting the number of shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate. (c) If the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into another kind of stock of the Corporation or into securities of another corporation, whether through reorganization, sale of assets, merger, consolidation, or similar transaction, the Corporation shall cause adequate provision to be made whereby participants shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon distribution of their Awards, the securities that they would have been entitled to receive for shares distributed pursuant to the Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the transaction. 12. NONTRANSFERABILITY. Except as provided below, each Award granted under the Plan to an employee shall not be transferable by him other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during his lifetime, only by him. In the event of the death of a participant during employment or prior to the termination, expiration, cancellation or forfeiture of any Award held by him hereunder, each Award theretofore granted to him shall be exercisable or payable to the extent provided therein but no later than five years after his death and then only: (a) by or to the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased participant or the person or persons to whom the deceased participant's rights under the Award shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and (b) to the extent set forth in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option Agreement for an Award of Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options (including a Stock Option Agreement for an Award made prior to the January 1, 1995 effective date of the amendment to this Section 12), may permit the participant who received the Award, at any time prior to his death, to assign all or any portion of the Stock Option granted to him to: (i) his spouse or lineal descendants; (ii) the trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of his spouse or lineal descendants; or (iii) a partnership of which his spouse and lineal descendants are the only partners. In such event, the spouse, lineal descendant, trustee or partnership will be entitled to all of the rights of the participant with respect to the assigned portion of such Stock Option, and such portion of the Stock Option will continue to be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Award, as set forth herein and in the related Stock Option Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the assignment. Any such assignment will be permitted only if: (i) the participant does not receive any consideration therefor; and (ii) the assignment is expressly permitted by the applicable Stock Option Agreement (as such Stock Option Agreement may be amended) as approved by the Committee. Any such assignment shall be evidenced by an appropriate written document executed by the participant, and a copy thereof shall be delivered to the Committee on or prior to the effective date of the assignment. 13. OTHER PROVISIONS. Any Award under the Plan shall be subject to other provisions as the Committee determines, including, without limitation, provisions for the installment purchase of Common Stock under Stock options, provisions to assist the participant in financing the acquisition of Common Stock, provisions for the forfeiture of, or restrictions on resale or other disposition of shares acquired under any Award, provisions to comply with Federal and state securities laws, provisions permitting acceleration of exercise in the event of death or disability, understandings or conditions as to the participant's employment in addition to those specifically provided for under the Plan, provisions giving the Corporation the right to repurchase shares acquired under any Award in the event the participant elects to dispose of such shares, provisions requiring the achievement of specified performance goals, and provisions permitting acceleration of exercise upon the occurrence of specified events or otherwise in the discretion of the Committee. 14. TAXES. The Corporation shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to pay or withhold the amount of any tax attributable to any amounts payable under any benefit after giving the person entitled to receive such amount notice as far in advance as practicable, and the Corporation may defer making payment as to any benefit if any such tax, charge or assessment may be pending until indemnified to its satisfaction. In connection with an Award under the Plan in the form of shares of Common Stock, and in lieu of requiring a participant to make a cash payment to the Corporation in an amount related to the tax resulting from such benefit, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that, at the participant's election, the tax withholding obligation in connection with such benefit shall be satisfied by the Corporation's withholding a portion of the shares otherwise distributable to the participant or by the participant's delivering to the Corporation the shares previously delivered by the Corporation in respect of such Award, such shares being valued in either event at their fair market value as of the date of such withholding or delivery, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, (i) a participant's election pursuant to the preceding sentence must be made on or prior to the date as of which income is realized by the participant in connection with such Award and must be irrevocable; and (ii) if the election is made by a participant who is subject to the restrictions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then the election must be made in accordance with such restrictions and the restrictions of Rule 16b-3. 15. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan or amend the Plan as it deems advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation. No amendment, without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, shall (i) except as provided in Section 11, materially increase the total number of shares that may be issued under the Plan, or increase the amount or type of benefits that may be granted under the Plan, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares issuable under the Plan as Incentive Stock Options exceed 2,500,000, as adjusted pursuant to Section 11; (ii) materially change the class of eligible employees; or (iii) materially increase benefits to any participant who is subject to the restrictions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All benefits in effect at the time of termination of the Plan shall remain in effect according to their original terms. 16. NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Award hereunder shall be deemed to obligate the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof to continue the employment of any participant for any particular period, nor shall the granting of an Award constitute a request or consent to postpone the retirement date of any participant. 17. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of May 1, 1992, and approved by the stockholders of the Corporation. The Plan was amended on February 21, 1995, with certain amendments adopted subject to approval by stockholders of the Corporation. These amendments shall be null and void if stockholder approval is not obtained. 18. DURATION OF THE PLAN. This Plan shall be effective for the ten-year period commencing May 1, 1992 and no benefits shall be granted hereunder after April 30, 2002. 19. APPLICABLE LAW. All questions pertaining to the validity, construction and administration of the Plan and all Awards hereunder shall be determined in conformity with the laws of the State of Illinois and, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code and regulations issued thereunder.

EX-99 5 REMARKS OF ANNUAL MEETING Exhibit Number (99) To 3/31/95 Form 10-Q Chairman David W. Fox delivered the following remarks on the highlights of 1994 and the first quarter 1995 at the annual meeting. As announced in February, I informed our Board about eighteen months ago that it was my intention to retire on October 3 of this year, which is my fortieth anniversary date with Northern and is shortly after my sixty-fourth birthday. The Board has approved a plan of succession whereby Bill Osborn will succeed me as CEO on June 30 and then also become Chairman in October. Barry Hastings will become COO on June 30 and assume the additional title of President in October. It is also my intention to leave Northern's Board at that time, having served as a Director for the past fourteen years. This will be, therefore, the last annual meeting at which I will preside as Chairman. Before turning the podium over to Bill Osborn for a look at Northern's future, let me make a few observations about the last five and a half years. As Chief Executive Officer, one of my most important responsibilities to shareholders and our Board was to provide for a successful and orderly transition of senior management. With the positioning of Bill Osborn and Barry Hastings this has been accomplished. Both have long career histories with Northern and bring a wealth of talent, experience and leadership skills to their new roles. Northern will not miss a beat under their stewardship, reinforcing my feeling that this is the right time to make a management transition. These have been exciting and fulfilling years, and the strong and unfailing support of my colleagues, our shareholders and our Board of Directors has meant a great deal to me, and I want to publicly thank them all. We are a different bank than we were five years ago, and we will be a different bank five years from now. Since 1989, trust assets and trust fees have more than doubled. Northern's market capitalization also doubled in that period, to $2.1 billion, and net income available for shareholders grew over 65%. While our stock did not perform as well in 1994 as we would have liked, it has rewarded long term holders exceedingly well. Of even greater importance for the future is that Northern is now in a position to capitalize further on the growth opportunities in its markets. The bulk of our $125 million investment in our new trust management system is now behind us, and the benefits to the Bank and our clients will become more evident as the year progresses. Over $200 million has been spent on acquisitions in the past five years, significantly expanding our market share and service capabilities. The number of domestic office locations also has grown, by 50%, in that same period. We have adapted to and taken advantage of the changing nature of our markets, yet remained a highly focused financial institution with a diverse and profitable business mix. The competitive challenges, of course, are greater than ever, but the future is bright. Serving clients exceptionally well will remain our primary mission and the cornerstone of our success. At the same time we must remain sensitive to the needs and well-being of Northern people, without whom success is not possible. We recognize also that we must continue to improve--that clients expect from us premium quality and premium service at competitive prices, that they deserve no less. As we grow our revenues, therefore, we must be particularly mindful of prudently managing our costs. To that end, as previously announced, we have committed to reducing base-line expenses by $50 million over the next three years as we work toward our minimum return on equity goal of 18%. Good progress toward these objectives was made in the first quarter, but we still have much work to do. I'm pleased to report that yesterday we announced very satisfactory first quarter earnings of $49.3 million, up 9% from a year ago and a new first quarter record. Trust fees grew in excess of 10% in the quarter and trust assets under administration reached a new high of over $500 billion. But enough of the past. Let me now turn the meeting over to Bill Osborn for a look ahead. The following remarks on Northern's ongoing business strategies for enhancing shareholder value were delivered by President William A. Osborn. Good Morning. For Northern Trust, 1994 was another successful year. We built upon our market leadership position in our corporate and personal businesses in several respects. We did so by establishing a record level of new business, by extending our market reach with new offices and additional capabilities made possible by investment and strategic acquisition, and by implementing technology upgrades that enhanced the quality and cost structure of our internal operations. All of this culminated in net income of $182.2 million, the seventh consecutive year that Northern Trust shareholders have enjoyed record earnings. As we move forward in 1995 and beyond, management is keenly focused on improving upon past accomplishments. We will continue to operate under the strategic vision that has served so well in making Northern Trust a unique growth company with attributes attractive to shareholders and clients. Our overarching strategy is to position Northern within selected individual and corporate market niches as an unrivaled provider of fiduciary and investment services, supported by highly focused personal and commercial banking capabilities and a strong relationship emphasis with clients. Key underlying objectives of this strategy are to: . Achieve consistent, quality earnings per share growth. . Increase shareholder value and market capitalization. . Build on our present leading market positions in our Corporate and Personal businesses. . Differentiate the quality, cost competitiveness and performance attributes of Northern's products and services. I would like to outline for you our key growth opportunities and initiatives that, in combination with a clear and focused business strategy, are expected to increase value for you, the shareholders of Northern Trust. Northern's clients are individuals, corporations and institutions in very targeted sectors which provide excellent growth opportunities. In our markets, Northern is a major, and in some cases, dominant provider. For example, in the Corporate and Institutional market Northern ranks among the top five providers in Master Trust and Custody. This group as a whole commands market share fast approaching 70%. The Corporate and Institutional Services business generates about 50% of Northern's trust fees, and, combined with other fees and net interest income, accounts for about 50% of total revenues and profits as well. There are three key areas of opportunity for sustained growth within our Corporate and Institutional market: Retirement Services, International Services and Investment Services. I'll comment on two of these now, and discuss Investment Services later in the context of opportunities in both our Corporate and Personal trust markets. The opportunity in Retirement Services arises from the projected growth of financial assets in retirement plans and the shifting of investment responsibility for these assets from employers to employees. We anticipate financial asset accumulation will be unprecedented as the baby boom generation passes through peak wealth-generating years and enters a phase of life where saving for retirement is a financial priority. With a large client base and a long history of serving the employee benefit plans of corporations and public entities, where the dominant portion of retirement savings will be held, we are in position to serve this rapidly growing asset base. The emergence of the defined contribution style retirement plan, which is an employee-directed alternative to the more traditional defined benefit pension plan, is the other important trend underlying our growth opportunity in Retirement Services. Among U.S. private pension plans, defined contribution assets of $1.2 trillion are now about equal to defined benefit assets. The primary segment of the defined contribution market, 401(k) plans, is growing at 14% annually versus 9% for defined benefit plans. By 2003, defined contribution balances are projected to exceed home equity as the largest asset for many households. The employee-directed nature of defined contribution plans calls for a higher level of service. Employees require education about saving for retirement and making asset allocation and investment choices for their retirement savings portfolio. Recordkeeping and servicing becomes more complex as the focus moves from the plan level to the participant level. Northern's ability to capture market share and benefit from the expanding fee- based revenue opportunities of this fast growing market was significantly bolstered by our Hazlehurst & Associates acquisition in 1994. The Northern Trust/Hazlehurst combination can meet virtually every retirement service demand in the marketplace. This is a significant competitive advantage for Northern as prospective clients increasingly seek out providers of a complete, bundled product. We are now win- ning business in the market where clients sign up for our entire array of re- tirement services. These services include plan design and administration, par- ticipant servicing and recordkeeping, and fiduciary, custody, asset management and benefit payments services. In addition, Northern is well-positioned to benefit from the developing trend of companies wishing to outsource many benefits administration functions that they have traditionally managed in-house. In 1994, approximately 20% of our new business in retirement services related to outsourcing arrangements. The acquisition and integration of Hazlehurst & Associates has been extremely successful. We are very pleased that new business in 1994 exceeded our expectations, and market trends give us reason to be optimistic that the pace of growth in our Retirement Services business will continue to be robust. International Services is another key growth area within our Corporate & Institutional business. International Services, which encompasses non-U.S. clients in 19 countries as well as non-U.S. assets for all our clients, is attractive for both its growth characteristics and its relative profitability. This is because the margins can be substantially more attractive than those available in the domestic market. Our international client asset base of $49 billion is our fastest growing market segment and represented a significant 30% of our new business fees sold in the corporate trust market in 1994. Global market trends that underlie this growth opportunity include privatization of government pension funds and increased cross-border investment, as foreign government asset allocation restrictions are reduced in an effort to boost returns. As these trends emerge, sponsors of non-U.S. based asset pools are gradually accepting the master custodian concept as a means to control operating risk, enhance efficiency, and consolidate information. Northern, and other select major U.S. providers, are competitively-advantaged in this market as non- U.S. providers are some years behind in the development of systems and expertise. Northern has been particularly successful winning new business with governmental entities, especially in the Middle East and Pacific Rim. We are the first master custodian to have a client in Africa and recently became the first non-Canadian bank to obtain full trust powers in Canada. To service clients and conduct securities lending activities in the Pacific Rim, we established an office in Hong Kong earlier this year. The other dimension of International Services is the global custody of our domestic clients' non-U.S. assets. U.S. pension funds have substantially increased their international asset allocation from 3% as recently as 1988 to over 7% in 1993. Projections indicate that this percentage will approach 12% by 1998. In total, our $65 billion of global custody assets ranks us among the largest global providers. The growth in this business has been very strong with global assets increasing an average of 34% annually over the past three years. The growth in global financial asset activity and our competitive position as a sophisticated provider of service to this market bode well for the continued expansion of revenues and profitability of our Corporate & Institutional business. Now I'd like to talk about our Personal Financial Services business, which generates the remaining half of our trust fees and about 50% of our total revenue and profits. Through an experienced staff that offers a quality of service unmatched in the marketplace, we provide individual clients with value- added fiduciary, asset management, tax and estate planning, and private banking services. We have a broad national presence with a unique network of 47 offices located in the most affluent areas of five states. These states--Illinois, Florida, Texas, Arizona and California--have very desirable demographics from the standpoint of population growth and wealth accumulation. In addition, these states have a high concentration of established wealth, representing fully one- third of all wealthy households in the U.S. We are the investment manager for $34 billion of personal trust assets and administer another $21 billion, ranking Northern among the top providers in the nation. Plans for growth in this business call for an accelerated pace of geographic expansion for the next several years, possibly supplemented by selective acquisitions. Our most aggressive plans are in Florida, where over the next three to four years we will nearly double our network to about 30 offices. When this expansion is completed, Northern will be in reach of 62% of Florida's total population and over 80% of our target market. We have already begun this ambitious program. Offices in Delray Beach, Bonita Springs and Tampa are on schedule to open in late 1995 or early 1996, and site selection is underway in several other areas as well. In addition, our acquisition of Beach Bank closed on March 31. This strategic acquisition extended Northern's reach up the southeast coast of Florida with two locations in Vero Beach and a leading position in this new market. Northern Trust Bank of Florida is a highly profitable operation, earning ROEs in excess of 30% and ROAs over 2.00%. Florida has grown primarily on a de novo basis over the past 20 plus years. Our expansion plans here and in other markets are based on the formula that has proven so successful in Florida, where profitability of a new office is typically achieved in 18 to 36 months. In 1994, Northern celebrated its twentieth year in Arizona and, like Florida, Arizona's profitability now exceeds all of Northern's key financial targets. To ensure continued growth, we intend to expand our franchise from the current four locations to eight over the next several years. Plans are now in place for a new office in early 1996 in Sun City West, and we have identified other locations for expansion as well. In Illinois, which includes both our Chicago and suburban offices, we also plan a stepped up pace of expansion. We opened an office in Highland Park in April of 1994 and have targeted a number of other affluent suburban communities, including Barrington and Hinsdale, for new offices. We also intend to open another Chicago location to build on our inner city presence established with the opening of the Chicago South Financial Center in December. We have ramped up marketing efforts in Illinois, highlighted by the attendance of 4,000 clients and prospects at the newly introduced series of Northern Trust Forums, featuring prominent speakers. Geographic expansion, coupled with increased marketing and product development efforts, should lead to an improved rate of revenue growth in Illinois. In Texas, the recently announced acquisition of Tanglewood Bank will add an important level of scale and momentum to our presence in that state. The addition of Tanglewood Bank, located in an affluent community within Houston, will more than double the size of our existing Texas franchise and will accelerate by more than a year our target for profitability in Texas. Momentum is building in California and we now project that operation will be profitable in 1995. Through successful marketing efforts and an established presence, we have increased our visibility in our six California markets and are now enjoying the benefits of greater name recognition. In 1994 new business levels were strong and 1995 is on a record setting pace as well. Tight expense control combined with a growing revenue stream has profitability on the upswing in California. Investment management is a key component in both our Corporate and Personal product lines. Assets under management now total $88 billion, of which we manage $54 billion for corporate clients. The remaining $34 billion is invested for individual clients. We are one of the largest investment managers in the U.S., evidenced in a survey by Pensions & Investments magazine that ranked Northern 14th at year-end 1993 with assets then under management of $77 billion. Investment management has attractive margins. Based on our wide ranging capabilities and product offerings designed to meet clients' increasing asset management needs, we expect this business to be an important factor in trust fee growth. Revenue growth momentum in this area will be enhanced when our recently announced acquisition of RCB International is closed later this year. RCB is a well-known and highly respected international equity investment advisor with a broad range of expertise and products. The firm is particularly adept at discovering emerging managers and styles. Through a "manager of managers" approach, RCB offers a variety of global funds as well as regional and single country investment funds. Acting as a consultant, RCB offers clients expertise in development of overall investment strategy, in making asset allocation and investment decisions, and in ongoing portfolio analysis. This collaboration with clients is an element of plan outsourcing that I commented on before as a trend that is gaining momentum in the marketplace. This acquisition is similar to our Hazlehurst acquisition in that it immediately expands Northern's capabilities to serve an emerging, high growth segment of our corporate trust business. In addition to aggressively pursuing these revenue growth opportunities, management has two other priorities in 1995. The first is to complete our key technology initiatives and to positively position our advanced technology in support of marketing efforts. Technology is fundamental to success in our business, particularly in the Corporate & Institutional market where investment requirements are significant and technological capabilities define competitive position. We have technology implementation plans in 1995 that culminate several multi-year efforts, the most notable being our new Trust Management System, or TMS. In 1995 we will invest over $30 million to complete the development and implementation of TMS. This implementation will give Northern the means to strengthen service quality, lower our cost structure, advantage new product development, and enhance financial and operating controls. A key aspect of the TMS implementation is the launch of Northern Trust Passport. Through Passport, we are defining the next generation of on-line information delivery. Passport provides clients a user-friendly single point of access to TMS and decision support tools. It also brings clients closer to Northern Trust and our network of experts and information than ever before. We already have over 200 client users of Passport, and the feedback from them is very positive. For example, at PepsiCo, one of our largest clients, Passport was installed to streamline the data management associated with administering their defined benefit plan. Changes to participant information that took up to three weeks can now be completed in one day because Passport gives on-line access to each of PepsiCo's eight benefit administration sites. PepsiCo, like many of our clients, was actively involved in the development of Passport. The collaborative approach used in our product development is proving itself through a high level of client satisfaction with our new products. With TMS and Passport, Northern will have the newest and most state- of-the-art system available, effectively positioning Northern in the market as a client-responsive technology leader. The second management priority for 1995 is the implementation of a disciplined process to reduce our expense base. We have set as our goal the removal of at least $15 million from the expense base in each of the next three years, and $50 million in total. This amounts to an annual reduction in excess of 2% on our 1994 recurring expense base of $671 million. Although expenses in total are expected to increase over this period, the pace of expense growth will be significantly slowed. This commitment to base line expense reduction will enhance productivity performance and earnings per share while still enabling Northern to invest in important revenue growth opportunities. In summary, our outlook is very positive. Our financial goals continue to be to grow earnings per share in excess of 10% annually, to earn a long-term return on equity in the 18% to 20% range and a return on assets in excess of 1.00%, and to achieve a productivity ratio of over 150%. Completion of the Beach Bank acquisition has cleared the way for us to move forward with our announced plan to buy back four million shares of our common stock. Management has a clear focus on increasing return on equity, and this share repurchase plan will importantly supplement our operating results. Our strategies are focused on those opportunities with the greatest potential for growth and increased profitability. This, coupled with our initiatives to maximize the benefits from our technology investments and contain expense growth, should lead to increasing shareholder value. Finally, I would like to close with a few personal comments that I know are shared by all Northern people and our Directors. This will be Dave Fox's last annual meeting as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since Dave is retiring in October after 40 years of service. Each of those years has been noteworthy for the contributions he has made at every level, but his leadership as CEO over the past five and one-half years has been particularly outstanding as the Corporation has continued its uninterrupted growth in earnings during some very challenging times. Dave has put in place a lasting emphasis on quality, provided a great balance between tradition and innovation, and embodied the values that have made Northern special: integrity, fairness, and an intense focus on client and employee well-being. He is one of the most respected business and community leaders in Chicago, and his peers in the banking industry around the world respect his accomplishments and value his counsel. We have all benefited from his guidance as a leader and warmth as an individual. There will be other opportunities in the next six months for those of us who have worked with and for Dave to expand on these sentiments and, I hope embarrass him quite a bit. Today, I would simply ask all of you to join me in expressing to Dave and his wife Mike how much we will miss them, and in wishing them all the best in his retirement. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
