This filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but
are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the merger between Chase
and J.P. Morgan, including future financial and operating results, Chase's
plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not
historical facts. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and
expectations of J.P. Morgan's and Chase's management and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set
forth in the forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the risk that the businesses
of Chase and J.P. Morgan will not be combined successfully; the risk that the
growth opportunities and cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized
or may take longer to realize than expected; the risk that the integration
process may result in the disruption of ongoing business or the loss of key
employees or may adversely effect relationships with employees and clients; the
risk that stockholder or required regulatory approvals of the merger will not be
obtained or that adverse regulatory conditions will be imposed in connection
with a regulatory approval of the merger; the risk of adverse impacts from an
economic downturn; the risks associated with increased competition, unfavorable
political or other developments in foreign markets, adverse governmental or
regulatory policies, and volatility in securities markets, interest or foreign
exchange rates or indices; or other factors impacting operational plans.
Additional factors that could cause Chase's and J.P. Morgan's results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found
in the 1999 Annual Reports on Forms 10-K of Chase and J.P. Morgan, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the Securities and
Exchange Commission's internet site (http://www.sec.gov) and in Chase's
Registration Statement on Form S-4 referred to below.

Chase has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission containing a preliminary joint proxy statement-prospectus
regarding the proposed transaction. Stockholders are urged to read the
definitive joint proxy statement-prospectus when it becomes available because it
will contain important information. The definitive joint proxy
statement-prospectus will be sent to stockholders of Chase and J.P. Morgan
seeking their approval of the proposed transaction. Stockholders also will be
able to obtain a free copy of the definitive joint proxy statement-prospectus,
as well as other filings containing information about Chase and J.P. Morgan,
without charge, at the SEC's internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the
definitive joint proxy statement-prospectus and the SEC filings that will be
incorporated

This presentation contains statements that are forward-looking within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Chase's and J.P Morgan's
management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These
uncertainties include: the risk that the businesses of Chase and J.P. Morgan
will not be combined successfully; the risk that the growth opportunities and
cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to
realize than expected; the risk that the integration process may result in the
disruption of ongoing business or the loss of key employees or may adversely
effect relationships with employees and clients; the risk that stockholder or
required regulatory approvals of the merger will not be obtained or that adverse
regulatory conditions will be imposed in connection with a regulatory approval
of the merger; the risk of adverse impacts from an economic downturn; the risks
associated with increased competition, unfavorable political or other
developments in foreign markets, adverse governmental or regulatory policies,
and volatility in securities markets, interest or foreign exchange rates or
indices; or other factors impacting operational plans. Additional factors that
could cause Chase's and J.P. Morgan's results to differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the 1999 Annual
Reports on Form 10-K of Chase and J.P. Morgan and in the Registration Statement
on Form S-4 filed by Chase on October 5, 2000 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The proposed transaction will be submitted to Chase's and J.P. Morgan's
stockholders for their consideration. Such stockholders should read the
definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction
when it becomes available, because it will contain important information.
Stockholders will be able to obtain a free copy of the definitive joint proxy
statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about
Chase and J.P. Morgan, without charge, at the SEC's internet site
(http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus
and the SEC filings that will be incorporated by reference in the definitive
joint proxy statement/prospectus can also be obtained, without charge, by
directing a request to The Chase Manhattan Corporation, 270 Park Avenue, New
York, NY 10017, Attention: Office of the Corporate Secretary (212-270-6000) or

Relations (212-483-2323). Information regarding the participants in the proxy
solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interest, by
security holdings or otherwise, is contained in the materials filed with the SEC
by each of J.P. Morgan and Chase on September 13 and 14, 2000, respectively.
