EXHIBIT 99A ----------- UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 give effect to the pending merger (the "merger") of BankBoston Corporation ("BankBoston") and Fleet Financial Group, Inc. ("Fleet"), accounted for as a pooling of interests. The merger, anticipated to be consummated late in the third or early in the fourth quarter of 1999, has been approved by the stockholders of both companies and is subject to regulatory approval. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of BankBoston and Fleet under the assumptions and adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and gives effect to the merger as if the merger had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the anticipated cost savings in connection with the merger or the effects of any divestitures required by regulators. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements of BankBoston and Fleet, including the respective notes to those statements. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or the results of operations in the future or of the combined financial position or the results of operations which would have been realized had the merger been consummated during the periods or as of the dates for which the pro forma information is presented. Pro forma per share amounts for the combined BankBoston and Fleet entity are based on the exchange ratio of 1.1844 shares of Fleet common stock, par value $.01 per share, for each share of BankBoston common stock, par value $1.00 per share.

Basis of Presentation The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been consummated at the beginning of the periods indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company. It is anticipated that the merger will be consummated late in the third or early in the fourth quarter of 1999. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and, as such, the assets and liabilities of Fleet will be combined with those of BankBoston at book value. In addition, the statements of income of Fleet will be combined with the statements of income of BankBoston as of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the merger as if the merger occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the merger was consummated on June 30, 1999. Certain reclassifications have been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income to conform presentations. BankBoston and Fleet anticipate that, in order to obtain regulatory approval for the merger, the companies will be required to divest approximately $13 billion of deposits, primarily in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island markets. No adjustment has been included, however, in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the anticipated divestitures. The reduction in net income related to such divestitures is estimated to be $160 million post-tax. Note 2. Accounting Policies and Financial Statement Classifications The accounting policies of both companies are in the process of being reviewed for consistency. As a result of this review, certain conforming accounting adjustments may be necessary. The nature and extent of such adjustments have not been determined but are not expected to be significant. Transactions between BankBoston and Fleet that are not material in relation to the pro forma financial information have not been eliminated from the pro forma combined amounts. Note 3. Merger- and Restructuring-Related Charges A liability of $1 billion (pre-tax) has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet to reflect BankBoston's and Fleet's best estimate of merger- and restructuring-related charges in connection with the merger. This liability resulted in a $650 million post-tax charge to retained earnings in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The following table provides detail of the estimated charges by type, post-tax: Estimated Costs (Post-Tax) Type of Cost (Dollars in millions) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel $300 Technology and operations 150 Facilities 75 Branches 25 Transaction costs and other 100 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $650 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Personnel-related costs consist primarily of charges related to employee severance, termination of certain employee benefits plans and employee assistance costs for separated employees. Technology and operations costs include accelerated depreciation in excess of normal scheduled depreciation and certain liabilities that will be incurred as a result of the elimination of duplicate systems. Facilities charges consist of lease termination costs and other facilities-related exit costs, as well as accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation, resulting from consolidation of duplicate headquarters and operation facilities. Branch-related costs are primarily related to the cost of exiting branches anticipated to be closed, including lease terminations and equipment write-offs. The effect of the proposed charge has been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1999. However, since the proposed charge is nonrecurring, it has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income. In addition, it is estimated that $60 million (post-tax) in other expenses related to the merger will be recognized in future periods as they are incurred. These charges have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1999. Note 4. Pro Forma Adjustments (a) Pro forma adjustments to common stock, treasury stock and common surplus at June 30, 1999, reflect the merger accounted for as a pooling of interests, through: (1) the exchange of 351.8 million shares of Fleet common stock (using the exchange ratio of 1.1844) for the 297.0 million outstanding shares of BankBoston common stock at June 30, 1999, (2) the reclassification adjustment to common stock to reflect the $.01 par value of Fleet common stock, and (3) an adjustment for $449 million to reflect the retirement of BankBoston treasury stock and the reissuance of Fleet treasury stock. (b) Pro forma adjustments to accrued expenses and other liabilities and retained earnings reflect the $1 billion merger- and restructuring-related charge and a $350 million reduction in the deferred tax liability for the anticipated tax benefit of such charge. For additional information on the merger- and restructuring-related charges see Note 3. (c) The pro forma combined weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 reflect the converted BankBoston weighted average common shares outstanding plus Fleet weighted average common shares outstanding. Each share of BankBoston common stock was converted into 1.1844 shares of Fleet common stock.
