Exhibit 99.3


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,
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:
In October 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
Department
of
the
U.S.
Treasury
and
federal
banking
regulators
are
implementing
a
number of programs to address capital and liquidity issues in the banking system, and may announce additional programs in the future, all of which may have
significant
effects
on
Regions
and
the
financial
services
industry,
the
exact
nature
and
extent
of
which
cannot
be
determined
at
this
time.
The impact of compensation and other restrictions imposed under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) until Regions is able to repay the outstanding
preferred stock issued under the TARP.
Possible additional loan losses and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles and the impact on earnings and capital.
Possible changes in interest rates may affect 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
the
collectibility
of
loans.
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.
The current stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible continued deterioration in property values.
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
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 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 keep pace with technological changes.
Regions' ability to effectively manage credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, operational risk, legal risk, liquidity risk, and regulatory and compliance risk.
The cost and other effects of material contingencies, including litigation contingencies.
The effects of increased competition from both banks and non-banks.
The effects of geopolitical instability and risks such as terrorist attacks.
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.
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

the
caption
“Forward-Looking Statements”

Report

Form
10-Q.
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. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time.


Summary of Third Quarter 2009 Results
Loss per diluted share of $0.37
Average low-cost customer deposit growth again strong, up $1.3 billion, reflective of:
$701 million or 3% increase in non-interest bearing deposits;
$969 million or 4% increase in money market deposits
Loans declined $1 billion on average, on light recession-impacted demand
Net interest margin rose 11 basis points to 2.73%, benefiting from low cost deposit growth and
improved loan spreads; net interest income rose $14 million despite smaller earning asset base
Non-interest revenues, as adjusted, were essentially unchanged as higher service charges and
mortgage income were partially offset by a reduction in brokerage revenues
Non-interest expenses increased due to branch consolidation costs, increased recession-related
professional fees and other real estate write-downs
Capital ratios remain strong, with Tier 1 of 12.1% and Tier 1 Common equity of 7.8%
Credit quality
Annualized net charge-offs increased to 2.86% of average loans, driven by value-related
charges and aggressive asset dispositions
