Investor Presentation January 2021 Advisory 2 The Bank occasionally makes forward-looking statements about its objectives, operations and targeted financial results. These statements may be written or verbal and may be included in such things as press releases, corporate presentations, annual reports and other disclosure documents and communications. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the strength of the Canadian economy in general and the strength of the local economies within Canada in which the Bank conducts operations; the effects of changes in monetary and fiscal policy, including changes in interest rate policies of the Bank of Canada; global commodity prices; the effects of competition in the markets in which the Bank operates; inflation; capital market fluctuations; the timely development and introduction of new products in receptive markets; the impact of changes in the laws and regulations regulating financial services; changes in tax laws; technological changes; unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings; unexpected changes in consumer spending and savings habits; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Bank’s anticipation of and success in managing the risks implicated by the foregoing. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider these factors and other uncertainties or potential events. For a detailed discussion of certain key factors that may affect our future results, please see our annual MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2019.The Bank makes no undertaking to update any forward-looking statement that is made from time to time by the Bank.
