plans, objectives and future performance and business. We make forward-looking statements when we use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”

Several factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from expectations including • our ability to grow revenue by selling more products to our customers

brokerage and asset management businesses • the effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and our mortgage originations and mortgage
servicing rights • the adequacy of our loan loss allowance • changes in the value of our venture capital investments • changes in our accounting policies or in
accounting standards • mergers and acquisitions • federal and state regulations • reputational damage from negative publicity • the loss of checking and
saving account deposits to other investments such as the stock market • fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. For more information
