Forward-Looking Statement
This presentation, and other statements that BlackRock may make, may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, with respect to BlackRock’s future financial or business
performance, strategies or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as
“trend,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “pipeline,” “believe,” “comfortable,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,”
“intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “assume,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,”
“achieve,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or
similar expressions.
BlackRock cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which
change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and BlackRock assumes no duty to
and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.
In addition to risk factors previously disclosed in BlackRock’s SEC reports and those identified elsewhere in this report the
following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or
historical performance: (1) the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; (2)
changes and volatility in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or financial and capital
markets, which could result in changes in demand for products or services or in the value of assets under management; (3)
the relative and absolute investment performance of BlackRock’s investment products; (4) the impact of increased
competition; (5) the impact of capital improvement projects; (6) the impact of future acquisitions or divestitures; (7) the
unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings; (8) the extent and timing of any share repurchases; (9) the impact, extent and
timing of technological changes and the adequacy of intellectual property protection; (10) the impact of legislative and
regulatory actions and reforms and regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions of government agencies relating to
BlackRock, Barclays, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch or PNC; (11) terrorist activities and international hostilities, which
may adversely affect the general economy, domestic and local financial and capital markets, specific industries or
BlackRock; (12) the ability to attract and retain highly talented professionals; (13) fluctuations in the carrying value of
BlackRock’s investments; (14) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect the value of
investment advisory and administration fees earned by BlackRock or the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies; (15) the impact of changes to tax legislation and, generally, the tax position of the
Company; (16) the ability of BlackRock to effectively manage the former Quellos business along with its historical
operations; (17) BlackRock’s success in maintaining the distribution of its products; (18) the impact of BlackRock electing
to provide support to its products from time to time; (19) the impact of problems at other financial institutions or the
failure or negative performance of products at other financial institutions; and (20) the ability of BlackRock to complete
the transaction with Barclays.
