CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this press release may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements under certain securities
laws, including the "safe harbor" provisions of
the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, statements relating to the reporting of our business segments'
financial results. Forward-looking statements are typically
identified by words such as "believe", "expect",
"foresee", "forecast", "anticipate",
"intend", "estimate", "goal",
"plan" and "project" and similar expressions
of future or conditional verbs such as "will", "may",
"should", "could", or "would".
By their very nature, forward-looking statements require us
to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and
uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that our
predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions
will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not
be correct and that other forward-looking statements, including
the statements discussed above, will not be achieved. We caution
readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as
a number of risk factors could cause our actual results to
differ materially from the expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements. These factors - many of which
are beyond our control and the effects of which are difficult
to predict - include: credit, market, operational, and liquidity
and funding risks, and other risks discussed in the Risk management
and Overview of other risks sections of our 2011 Annual Report
and the Risk management section of our Q3 2012 Report to Shareholders;
general business, economic and financial market conditions
in Canada, the United States and certain other countries in
which we conduct business, including the effects of the European
sovereign debt crisis; the effects of changes in government
fiscal, monetary, economic and other policies; the effects
of competition in the markets in which we operate; the effects
of changes in government fiscal, monetary, economic and other
policies; changes to and new interpretations of risk-based
capital and liquidity guidelines; the impact of changes in
laws and regulations; our ability to attract and retain employees;
the accuracy and completeness of information concerning our
clients and counterparties; our ability to successfully execute
our strategies and to complete and integrate strategic acquisitions
and joint ventures successfully; and development and integration
of our distribution networks. We caution that the foregoing
list of risk factors is not exhaustive and other factors could
also adversely affect our results. Additional information
about these and other factors can be found in our Q3 2012
Report to Shareholders and 2011 Annual Report.
Except as required by law, we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement contained in this press release.
