"estimate," "forecast," "project," "should," "confident," and other
similar words and expressions and are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time.
Additionally, forward‐looking statements speak only as of the date
they are made; the Company does not assume any duty, and does not
undertake, to update our forward‐looking statements. Furthermore,
because forward‐looking statements are subject to assumptions and
uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ,
possibly materially, from those anticipated in our statements, and
our future performance could differ materially from our historical
results.
Our forward‐looking statements are subject to, among others, the
following principal risks and uncertainties: general economic
conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in
the securities, credit and financial markets; changes in interest
rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit,
loan, and investment products and other financial services; changes
in real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of our
loan or investment portfolios, including associated allowances and

expansion of such conflicts and potential geopolitical
consequences), terrorism or other geopolitical events; and a
variety of other matters which, by their nature, are subject to
significant uncertainties and/or are beyond our control. Our
forward-looking statements are also subject to the following
principal risks and uncertainties with respect to our merger with
Flagstar Bancorp, which was completed on December 1, 2022, and our acquisition of
substantial portions of the former Signature Bank through an
FDIC-assisted transaction: the possibility that the anticipated
benefits of the transactions will not be realized when expected or
at all; the possibility of increased legal and compliance costs,
including with respect to any litigation or regulatory actions
related to the business practices of acquired companies or the
combined business; diversion of management's attention from ongoing
business operations and opportunities; the possibility that the
Company may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating
efficiencies in or as a result of the transactions within the
expected timeframes or at all; and revenues following the
transactions may be lower than expected. Additionally, there can be
no assurance that the Community Benefits Agreement entered into
with NCRC, which was contingent upon the closing of the Company's
merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., will achieve the results or
outcome originally expected or anticipated by us as a result of
changes to our business strategy, performance of the U.S. economy,
or changes to the laws and regulations affecting us, our customers,
communities we serve, and the U.S. economy (including, but not
limited to, tax laws and regulations).
