PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE The conference call and discussion, including related questions and answers, and presentation materials, contain forward-looking statements about issues like anticipated fourth quarter and full-year 2004 earnings, anticipated level of net loan charge-offs and nonperforming assets and anticipated improvement in profitability and competitiveness. Forward-looking statements by their nature are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements for a variety of factors including: changes in interest rates; failure of the economy to continue to improve, which could materially impact credit quality trends and the ability to generate loans; declines or disruptions in the stock or bond markets; delay in or inability to execute strategic initiatives designed to grow revenues and/or manage expenses; inaccurate or erroneous assumptions made in connection with various modeling techniques; consummation of significant business combinations or divestitures; new legal obligations or restrictions or unfavorable resolution of litigation; further disruption in the economy or the general business climate as a result of terrorist activities or military actions; and changes in accounting, tax or regulatory practices or requirements.
