Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a slide presentation used by Jamie Dimon, President and Chief Operating Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”) at an analyst conference held June 1, 2005. The slides are being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and the information contained therein shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, the information in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Firm under the Securities Act of 1933.
Among the points discussed by Mr. Dimon at the conference included the following about trading results:
| • | Trading results for the second quarter of 2005 as of May 31, 2005 are the worst the Firm has experienced in some time and, absent improvements in performance in June, trading results for the full quarter could be lower than the $842 million reported for the third quarter of 2004. While client-driven trading has remained generally strong to date, market-making and proprietary trading activity has been worse to date across the credit, rates and equities businesses, and generally weaker in Europe than elsewhere. |
