FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

   This presentation contains forward looking statements with respect to the
   financial condition, results of operations and business of FleetBoston
   Financial Corporation ("Fleet") and Summit Bancorp ("Summit"), and assuming
   the consummation of the merger, a combined Fleet and BankBoston, including
   statements relating to: (i) the cost savings and revenue enhancements and
   accretion to reported earnings that will be realized from the merger; and
   (ii) the restructuring charges expected to be incurred in connection with the
   merger. These forward looking statements involve certain risks and
   uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially
   from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among
   other things, the following possibilities: (i) expected cost savings from the
   merger cannot be fully realized or realized within the expected time; (ii)
   revenues following the merger are lower than expected; (iii) competitive
   pressure among depository institutions increases significantly; (iv) costs
   related to the integration of the business of Fleet and BankBoston are
   greater than expected; (v) changes in the interest rate environment reduce
   interest margins; (vi) general economic conditions, either internationally or
   domestically in those regions in which the combined company will be doing
   business, are less favorable than expected; (vii) legislation or regulatory
   requirements or changes adversely affect the business in which the combined
   company will be engaged; and (viii) changes which may occur in the securities
   market.
