Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. For the purposes of these discussions, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward looking statements. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of First Citizens Bank and their management about future events. The accuracy of such forward-looking statements could be affected by various factors including, but not limited to, First Citizens Bank's ability to successfully convert and integrate Bank of Virginia's operations and accounts without disruption or loss of customer and employee relationships. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements are discussed in First Citizens BancShares’ filings with the SEC, including without limitation their Proxy Statements, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
