Forward Looking Information
The attached presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Statements in the attached presentation that are based on other than historical information or that express Zions Bancorporations expectations regarding
future events or determinations are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, all of which are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, market trends, industry results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
Without limiting the foregoing, the words anticipates, believes, can, continue,
could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, projects, should, would, targets, will and the
negative thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about future financial
and operating results, the potential timing or consummation of the proposed transaction described in the presentation and receipt of regulatory approvals or determinations, or the anticipated benefits thereof, including, without limitation, future
financial and operating results. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those presented, either expressed or implied, in the presentation. Important risk factors that may cause such material differences include, but are not limited
to, the actual amount and duration of declines in the price of oil and gas; Zions ability to meet efficiency and noninterest expense goals; the rate of change of interest sensitive assets and liabilities relative to changes in benchmark
interest rates; risks and uncertainties related to the ability to obtain shareholder and regulatory approvals or determinations, or the possibility that such approvals or determinations may be delayed; the imposition by regulators of conditions or
requirements that are not favorable to Zions; the ability of Zions Bancorporation to achieve anticipated benefits from the consolidation and regulatory determinations; and legislative, regulatory and economic developments that may diminish or
eliminate the anticipated benefits of the consolidation. These risks, as well as other factors, are discussed in Zions Bancorporations most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
