Exhibit 99.3
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this presentation regarding First Marblehead’s expectations and future performance, including with regard to the future performance of securitization trusts that First Marblehead has facilitated (the “Trusts”), as well as any other statements that are not purely historical, constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our historical performance, the historical performance of the Trusts, and on our plans, estimates and expectations as of August 16, 2010. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future results, plans, projections, estimates or expectations contemplated will actually be achieved. You are cautioned that matters subject to forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including economic, legislative, regulatory, competitive and other factors, which may cause actual results, including the performance of the Trusts and resulting cash flows, or the timing of events, to be materially different than those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include: degradation of credit quality, credit enhancement or performance of the Trusts’ loan portfolios; economic, legislative, regulatory, competitive and other factors affecting default, recovery and prepayment rates on the Trusts’ loan portfolios, including general economic conditions, the consumer credit environment, interest rates and unemployment rates; the effectiveness of collections and risk mitigation strategies and programs, which may affect relative rates of forbearance, delinquency, and default; borrower defaults and the Trusts’ ability to recover principal and interest from such borrowers; capital market receptivity to private student loan asset-backed securities; the inability of The Education Resources Institute, Inc. (TERI), the third party guarantor of the Trusts’ underlying loans, which has filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws, to meet its guaranty obligations; developments in the bankruptcy proceedings of TERI, including the terms of any plan of reorganization and the outcome of challenges to the enforceability of the Trusts’ security interests, which could adversely affect the Trusts’ rights to future recoveries on certain defaulted loans; changes to bankruptcy laws that could affect the non-dischargeable status of education-related loans; and the other factors set forth under the caption “risk factors” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2010. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after August 16, 2010.
