![]() Forward-looking statements Forward-Looking Statements This document contains forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.” Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: negative economic conditions that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect, among other things, the level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs and provision expense; the rate of growth in the economy and employment levels, as well as general business and economic conditions; our ability to implement our strategic plan, including the cost savings and efficiency components, and achieve our indicative performance targets; our ability to remedy regulatory deficiencies and meet supervisory requirements and expectations; liabilities resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations; our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms; the effect of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale; changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets; the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin; financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulation relating to bank products and services; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks; management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks; and any failure by us to successfully replicate or replace certain functions, systems and infrastructure provided by The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (“RBS”) In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will depend on our financial condition, earnings, cash needs, regulatory constraints, capital requirements (including requirements of our subsidiaries), and any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such dividends. In addition, the timing and manner of the sale of RBS's remaining ownership of our common stock remains uncertain, and we have no control over the manner in which RBS may seek to divest such remaining shares. Any such sale would impact the price of our shares of common stock. More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2015. 1 |

![]() 10 Subsidiary status and parent turmoil created lack of focus on domestic opportunities Some difficulty in recruiting top talent Strong culture around 3 C’s, but lack of urgency and accountability Siloed operating approach Public company status has delivered many benefits: Turnaround plan benchmarked to US peers, de-coupled from RBS agenda Opened up new recruiting capacity (e.g., Eric Aboaf, Don McCree) Higher sense of urgency Equity provides sense of ownership, creates right incentives Fully aligned colleague base with strategy and initiatives Team working together well Known for great leaders Strong culture around customer centricity, continuous improvement, execution orientation, community focus Full sense of ownership and accountability, strong risk management Where we are now Where we’re going Where we’ve come from Subsidiary of large global bank Progressing to full independence Great place to work and build a career Building a strong team and culture |
![]() Balancing near- and long-term considerations 11 Road map to top performing is comprehensive Requires sustained focus, investment and execution Milestones across all initiatives broadly met to date Self funding necessary investments, delivering positive operating leverage Environment is more subdued than anticipated when plan was developed Negatives: Rates lower for longer, greater competition on loan spreads, mortgage market slow to build Positives: Credit costs favorable partly due to lower rates Initiatives will be managed dynamically based on market conditions, though “where we are going” remains the destination Will adjust asset mix based on market conditions (e.g., lower SCUSA flow purchases given higher student loans, own auto) Will adjust hiring targets to reflect market competition, may take longer on Mortgage and Wealth Developing new initiatives to help offset revenue pressures (loan spreads, mortgage market, lower rates for longer) Important to show consistent financial improvement, while safeguarding the plan to build a sustainable, great franchise |
![]() 12 Summary We have the foundation for a great franchise, though much to do to tap full potential Our turnaround plan addresses gaps/weaknesses on both a tactical and strategic level We are focused on the keys to our long-term success: customer proposition, colleagues & culture, revenue growth/operating leverage, risk management and technology capability We are executing well against our agenda, delivering near-term financial progress towards ambitious medium-term goals Have the roadmap… executing well |
