Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, failure of the parties to satisfy the conditions to closing for the acquisition, failure of the First Ipswich shareholders to approve the proposed transaction, failure to obtain governmental approvals or the imposition of adverse regulatory conditions in connection with such approvals, disruption to the parties’ businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the acquisition, changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs, changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements, changes in the financial performance and/or condition of borrowers, changes in customer borrowing and savings habits, difficulties in achieving cost savings as a result of the merger or in achieving such cost savings within the projected timeframe, difficulties related to the integration of the businesses following the acquisition, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, or other regulatory considerations and competition. Neither Brookline nor First Ipswich undertakes any obligation to publicly update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof.
