This presentation, and other statements that BlackRock may make, may contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, with respect to BlackRock’s future financial or
business performance, strategies or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words
or phrases such as “trend,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “pipeline,” “believe,” “comfortable,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “assume,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,”

BlackRock cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made,
and BlackRock assumes no duty to and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ
materially from historical performance.


13
Forward looking statements
In addition to risk factors previously disclosed in BlackRock’s Securities and Exchange Commission reports and
those identified elsewhere in this presentation the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to
differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: 
(1) the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; (2) changes and volatility
in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment, foreign exchange rates or financial and
capital markets, which could result in changes in demand for products or services or in the value of assets under
management; (3) the relative and absolute investment performance of BlackRock’s investment products; (4) the
impact of increased competition; (5) the impact of capital improvement projects; (6) the impact of future acquisitions
or divestitures; (7) the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings; (8) the extent and timing of any share
repurchases; (9) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes and the adequacy of intellectual property
protection; (10) the impact of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms, including the recently approved Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions of
government agencies relating to BlackRock, Barclays, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch or PNC; (11) terrorist
activities and international hostilities, which may adversely affect the general economy, domestic and local financial
and capital markets, specific industries or BlackRock; (12) the ability to attract and retain highly talented
professionals; (13) fluctuations in the carrying value of BlackRock’s economic investments; (14) the impact of
changes to tax legislation and, generally, the tax position of the Company; (15) BlackRock’s success in maintaining
the distribution of its products; (16) the impact of BlackRock electing to provide support to its products from time to
time; (17) the impact of problems at other financial institutions or the failure or negative performance of products at
other financial institutions; and (18) the ability of BlackRock to integrate the operations of BGI.
