Except for historical information provided, the statements made during the recorded call and in the investor presentation are forward-looking and made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on information available to management at the time, and they involve judgments and estimates. Forward-looking statements include expressions such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “plan,” “target,” and similar terms and expressions. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting the Company and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Listeners are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Company in this release, or elsewhere, speak only as of the date on which the statements were made. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may affect the Company or its anticipated results. The Company has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements made during this presentation, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, listeners should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this presentation may not occur.

The investor call and presentation contains the use of certain non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures such as “core revenues,” “core noninterest expenses,” and “core earnings (losses).” These non-GAAP measures are provided as supplemental to, and not as replacement of nor equal to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management feels that these non-GAAP measures provide additional insights into the performance of the Company that they believe are helpful to investors and they also reflect how management analyzes certain Company performances and compares that performance against other Companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is provided as part of the presentation.
