Safe Harbor Statement Pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This press release includes statements which look to the future. These remarks are based on current plans and expectations. They are subject, however, to a variety of uncertainties that could cause future results to vary materially from Suffolk’s historical performance, or from current expectations. Factors affecting Suffolk Bancorp include particularly, but are not limited to: results of regulatory examinations; any failure by Suffolk to comply with our written agreement with the OCC (the “Agreement”) or the individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank established by the OCC; potential litigation or regulatory action relating to the matters described above, the results of the review described above; any need to restate financial statements for prior periods and the consequences thereof or other action which could cause management not to be able to comply with NASDAQ rules; and the potential that net charge-offs are higher than expected or previously reported.
