Safe Harbor
Statements made above, other than those containing historical information, are
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These include statements about
Centura, including descriptions of plans or objectives of its management for
future operations, products or services, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings
or other measures of economic performance. Such statements reflect current
views, but are based on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth
in such statements. Those factors include, but are not limited to, the
following: (i) expected cost savings from completed mergers may not be fully
realized or costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses
of Centura and merged institutions may be greater than expected; (ii) customer
and deposit attrition, or revenue loss, following completed mergers may be
greater than expected; (iii) competitive pressure in the banking industry may
increase significantly; (iv) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce
margins; (v) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may
be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, credit
quality deterioration and the possible impairment of collectibility of loans;
(vi) the impact of changes in monetary and fiscal policies, laws, rules and
regulations; (vii) the impact of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999; (viii)
changes in business conditions and inflation; and (ix) other risks and factors
identified in Centura's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
other regulatory bodies.
