The unaudited pro forma combined historical financial information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD in order to assist investors in understanding (i) how the financial information of JPMorgan Chase and Bank One may have appeared on a combined basis had the two companies actually been merged as of the earliest date indicated and (ii) how the financial information of the lines of business of the new combined company may have appeared had the two companies actually been merged as of the earliest date indicated.

The unaudited pro forma combined historical financial information included in Exhibit 99.1 does not necessarily indicate the combined results of operations or the combined financial position of the Firm that would have resulted had the merger actually been completed at the beginning of the applicable periods presented nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the Firm.
