Attachment A
CHICAGO, April 8, 1994 -- During First Chicago Corporation's annual meeting
of stockholders, Chairman Richard L. Thomas made the following observations
regarding first quarter results:
"First, we will report a good quarter with earnings above the fourth
quarter of last year and at or somewhat above the strong first quarter a year
ago -- although the mix will be different than we had anticipated.
"Second, most of our major businesses performed well during the quarter,
continuing the trends that we established in 1993.
"Third, credit quality improved further. Fourth, the previously reported
$45 million gain in our venture capital portfolio involving NEXTEL
Communications, combined with gains from the sale of other equities, was more
than sufficient to offset very negative trading results. Our trading
difficulties were concentrated in the emerging markets sector in March, and we
believe that most other firms active in this arena had similar problems given
the recent turbulence in global markets."
First Chicago Corporation will release its first quarter earnings on
Wednesday, April 13.
