J.P.Morgan Acquires Bear Sterns
INVESTOR PRESENTATION
Forward-looking statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the
benefits of the merger between JPMorgan Chase & Co. and The Bear Stearns Companies Inc., including
future financial and operating results, the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are based upon the
current beliefs and expectations of JPMorgan Chase's management and are subject to significant risks
and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements: the ability to obtain governmental and self-regulatory organization
approvals of the merger on the proposed terms and schedule, and any changes to regulatory agencies'
outlook on, responses to and actions and commitments taken in connection with the merger and the
agreements and arrangements related thereto; the extent and duration of continued economic and
market disruptions; adverse developments in the business and operations of Bear Stearns, including the
loss of client, employee, counterparty and other business relationships; the failure of Bear Stearns
stockholders to approve the merger; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the
risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the merger may not be fully realized or may take
longer to realize than expected; disruption from the merger making it more difficult to maintain
business and operational relationships; increased competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-
party relationships and revenues; the risk of new and changing regulation in the U.S. and internationally
and the exposure to litigation and/or regulatory actions. Additional factors that could cause JPMorgan
Chase's results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found
in the firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and available at the Securities and Exchange Commission's Internet site
