A copy of Chase's press release is attached as an exhibit hereto.That press
release may contain statements that are forward looking within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties and Chase's actual results may differ materially from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Those uncertainties may
include, among others, the risk of adverse impacts from an economic downturn;
increased competition; unfavorable political or other developments in foreign
markets, governmental or regulatory policies; market volatility in securities
markets, interest or foreign exchange rates; other factors impacting Chase's
operational plans or the adequacy of Chase's allowance for credit losses; the
fact that the anticipated cost-savings and revenue synergies from the Flemings
transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than
expected; or that there may be changes in general economic, financial, monetary
or other business indicators that adversely affect the businesses and markets in
which Chase operates. For a more detailed discussion of those uncertainties,
reference is made to Chase's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in particular Chase's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
