Forward-Looking Statements
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:
The
Dodd-Frank
Wall
Street
Reform
and
Consumer
Protection
Act
(the
“Dodd-Frank
Act”)
became
law
on
July
21,
2010,
and
a
number
of
legislative,
regulatory
and
tax
proposals
remain
pending.
Additionally,
the
U.S.
Treasury
and
federal
banking
regulators
continue
to
implement,
but
are
also
beginning
to
wind
down,
a
number
of
programs
to
address
capital
and
liquidity
in
the
banking
system.
Proposed
rules,
including
those
that
are
part
of
the
Basel
III
process,
could
require
banking
institutions
to
increase
levels
of
capital.
All
of
the
foregoing
may
have
significant
effects
on
Regions
and
the
financial
services
industry,
the
exact
nature
of
which
cannot
be
determined
at
this
time.
Regions'
ability
to
mitigate
the
impact
of
the
Dodd-Frank
Act
on
debit
interchange
fees
through
revenue
enhancements
and
other
revenue
measures,
which
will
depend
on
various
factors,
including
the
acceptance
by
our
customers
of
modified
fee
structures
for
Regions'
products
and
services.
The
impact
of
compensation
and
other
restrictions
imposed
under
the
Troubled
Asset
Relief
Program
(“TARP”)
until
Regions
repays
the
outstanding
preferred
stock
and
warrant
issued
under
the
TARP,
including
restrictions
on
Regions’
ability
to
attract
and
retain
talented
executives
and
associates.
Possible
additional
loan
losses,
impairment
of
goodwill
and
other
intangibles,
and
adjustment
of
valuation
allowances
on
deferred
tax
assets
and
the
impact
on
earnings
and
capital.
Possible
changes
in
interest
rates
may
increase
funding
costs
and
reduce
earning
asset
yields,
thus
reducing
margins.
Increases
in
benchmark
interest
rates
would
also
increase
debt
service
requirements
for
customers
whose
terms
include
a
variable
interest
rate,
which
may
negatively
impact
the
ability
of
borrowers
to
pay
as
contractually
obligated.
Possible
changes
in
general
economic
and
business
conditions
in
the
United
States
in
general
and
in
the
communities
Regions
serves
in
particular,
including
any
prolonging
or
worsening
of
the
current
unfavorable
economic
conditions
including
unemployment
levels.
Possible
changes
in
the
creditworthiness
of
customers
and
the
possible
impairment
of
the
collectability
of
loans.
Possible
changes
in
trade,
monetary
and
fiscal
policies,
laws
and
regulations
and
other
activities
of
governments,
agencies,
and
similar
organizations,
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
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.
Regions’
ability
to
ensure
adequate
capitalization
which
is
impacted
by
inherent
uncertainties
in
forecasting
credit
losses.
The
cost
and
other
effects
of
material
contingencies,
including
litigation
contingencies,
and
any
adverse
judicial,
administrative
or
arbitral
rulings
or
proceedings.
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
floods,
droughts,
wind,
tornados
and
hurricanes,
and
the
effects
of
man-made
disasters.
Possible
downgrades
in
ratings
issued
by
rating
agencies.
Potential
dilution
of
holders
of
shares
of
Regions’
common
stock
resulting
from
the
U.S.
Treasury’s
investment
in
TARP.
Possible
changes
in
the
speed
of
loan
prepayments
by
Regions’
customers
and
loan
origination
or
sales
volumes.
Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
The
effects
of
problems
encountered
by
larger
or
similar
financial
institutions
that
adversely
affect
Regions
or
the
banking
industry
generally.
Regions’
ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries.
The effects of the failure of any component of Regions’
business infrastructure which is provided by a third party.
Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies.
The
effects
of
any
damage
to
Regions’
reputation
resulting
from
developments
related
to
any
of
the
items
identified
above.
The
foregoing
list
of
factors
is
not
exhaustive.
For
discussion
of
these
and
other
factors
that
may
cause
actual
results
to
differ
from
expectations,
look
