Forward-Looking Statements. This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement, including statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the M&T’s business, management’s beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "target," "estimate," "continue," or "potential," by future conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may," or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual actions, outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. M&T provides further detail regarding risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect the outcome of forward-looking statements in its public filings, including the “risk factors” described in M&T’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and M&T does not assume any duty, and does not undertake, to update forward-looking statements.
