Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains forward-looking statements with respect to PNC’s outlook or expectations
with
respect
to
the
planned
transaction
between
BlackRock
and
Merrill
Lynch
and
the
impact
of
the
transaction on PNC’s future performance.  Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. The forward-looking statements in this
presentation
speak
only
as
of
the
date
of
this
presentation,
and
PNC
assumes
no
duty,
and
does
not
undertake, to update them. In addition to factors previously disclosed in PNC’s SEC reports
(accessible
on
the
SEC
website
at
www.sec.gov
and
on
PNC’s
website
at
www.pnc.com)
applicable
to
PNC’s
business
generally,
as
well
as
factors
previously
disclosed
in
BlackRock’s
SEC
reports
(accessible
on
the
SEC
website
and
on
BlackRock’s
website
at
www.BlackRock.com)
applicable
to
BlackRock’s
business generally, the forward-looking statements in this presentation are subject to the
following risks and uncertainties:
Completion of the transaction is dependent on, among other things, receipt of regulatory and other
approvals, the timing of which cannot be predicted with precision at this point and which may not
be received at all.
The impact of the completion of the transaction on PNC’s financial statements will be affected by
the
timing
of
the
transaction
and
the
market
price
of
BlackRock
at
the
time
of
closing. 
The impact of the transaction on PNC’s future financial results depends on the following:  (1)
BlackRock’s
future
performance
and
BlackRock’s
ability
to
integrate
its
business
with
the
Merrill
Lynch Investment Managers business and to achieve planned synergies and cost savings, (2)
BlackRock’s
dividend payout ratio going forward, which is assumed to be 40%, and (3) PNC’s
ability to take advantage of the increase in its capital resulting from this transaction to pursue
various
capital
management
options
such
as
share
repurchases
and
making
investments
in
its
businesses, which could be affected by PNC’s future financial performance and other factors
affecting PNC’s capital needs and flexibility.
