Forward Looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section
27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of
Barclays plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future
financial condition and performance and which involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a
guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially
from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to
historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such
as 'aim', 'anticipate', 'target', 'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan',
'goal', 'believe', or other words of similar meaning. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the
consummation of the business combination between ABN AMRO and Barclays within
the expected timeframe and on the expected terms (if at all), the benefits of
the business combination transaction involving ABN AMRO and Barclays, including
the achievement of synergy targets, ABN AMRO's and Barclays future financial
position, income growth, impairment charges, business strategy, projected costs
and estimates of capital expenditure and revenue benefits, projected levels of
growth in the banking and financial markets, the combined group's future
financial and operating results, future financial position, projected costs and
estimates of capital expenditures, and plans and objectives for future
operations of ABN AMRO, Barclays and the combined group and other statements
that are not historical fact. Additional risks and factors are identified in
Barclays filings with the SEC including Barclays Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, which is available on Barclays website
at www.barclays.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are
made. Barclays does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to
reflect any changes in expectations with regard thereto or any changes in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The
reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has
made or may make in documents they have filed or may file with the SEC.
