     Forward-Looking Statements This filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about our financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook, asset quality trends and profitability. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only management’s current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Key’s control. Key’s actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include, among other things: (1) adverse capital market conditions and the ability to raise equity and other funding required by the banking regulators or otherwise; (2) further downgrades in Key’s credit ratings; (3) unprecedented volatility in the stock markets, public debt markets and other capital markets, including continued disruption in the fixed income markets; (4) changes in interest rates; (5) changes in trade, monetary or fiscal policy; (6) changes in foreign exchange rates, equity markets and the financial soundness of other unrelated financial companies; (7) asset price deterioration. which has had (and may continue to have) a negative effect on the valuation of certain asset categories represented on Key’s balance sheet; (8) continuation of the recent deterioration in general economic conditions, or in the condition of the local economies or industries in which Key has significant operations or assets, which could, among other things, materially impact credit quality trends and Key’s ability to generate loans; (9) continued disruption in the housing markets and related conditions in the financial markets; (10) increased competitive pressure among financial services companies due to the consolidation of competing financial institutions and the conversion of certain investment banks to bank holding companies; (11) heightened legal standards and regulatory practices, requirements or expectations; (12) the inability to successfully execute strategic initiatives designed to grow revenues and/or manage expenses; (13) increased FDIC deposit insurance premiums; (14) difficulty in attracting and/or retaining executives and/or relationship managers; (15) consummation of significant business combinations or divestitures; (16) operational or risk management failures due to technological or other factors; (17) changes in accounting or tax practices or requirements; (18) new legal obligations or liabilities or unfavorable resolution of litigation; and (19) disruption in the economy and general business climate as a result of terrorist activities or military actions.
For additional information on KeyCorp and the factors that could cause actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements consult KeyCorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov). Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and should not be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
