assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time.
Additionally, forward‐looking statements speak only as of the date

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.

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

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).
