2 Forward Looking Statements Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act giving Capital One’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Such forward- looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the projected impact and benefits of the acquisition by Capital One of the HSBC domestic credit card businesses, including future financial and operating results, Capital One’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and Capital One assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements. In addition to factors previously disclosed in Capital One’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and those identified elsewhere in this presentation, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: the possibility that regulatory and other approvals and conditions to the transaction are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that modifications to the terms of the transaction may be required in order to obtain or satisfy such approvals or conditions; the possibility that Capital One will not receive third-party consents necessary to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction; the possibility that Capital One may not fully realize the projected cost savings and other projected benefits of the acquisition of the HSBC domestic credit card businesses in the event that Capital One's pending acquisition of the ING Direct business does not close timely or at all; changes in the anticipated timing for closing the transaction; difficulties and delays in integrating the HSBC domestic credit card businesses or fully realizing projected cost savings and other projected benefits of the transaction; business disruption during the pendency of or following the transaction; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; reputational risks and the reaction of customers and counterparties to the transaction; and changes in asset quality and credit risk as a result of the transaction.
