FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
›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 under the captions “Forward-Looking Statements”
and “Risk
Factors”
in Regions’
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the "Foward-Looking Statements" section of Regions' Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, and June
30, 2012.
›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.
›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.
›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 keep pace with technological changes.
›Regions' ability to effectively manage credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, operational risk, legal risk, liquidity risk, reputational 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 trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations and other activities of governments, agencies, and
similar organizations, may have an adverse effect on business.
>Possible regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or other regulators which might adversely impact Regions' business model or     products and services.
›Possible 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.
›The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)became law in July 2010, and a number of legislative, regulatory and tax proposals remain pending. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury
Department 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. Future and proposed rules, including those
that are part of the Basel III process, are expected to 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
and extent of which cannot be determined at this time.
›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.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION: PRE-TAX PRE-PROVISION
INCOME
The Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income from Continuing Operations table below presents computations of pre-tax pre-provision income from
continuing operations excluding certain adjustments (non-GAAP).  Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a
meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the
Company and predicting future performance.  These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance
of Regions' business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the
activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations.  Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial
measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management.  Non-GAAP
financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial
measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be
considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.  In particular, a measure of income that excludes
certain adjustments does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.
