The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K
contains certain forward-looking statements, including certain plans, expectations, goals,
projections, and statements, which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from those contained or implied by such statements for a
variety of factors including: (1) deterioration in the loan portfolio could be worse than expected
due to a number of factors such as the underlying value of the collateral could prove less valuable
than otherwise assumed and assumed cash flows may be worse than expected; (2) changes in economic
conditions; (3) movements in interest rates; (4) competitive pressures on product pricing and
services; (5) success and timing of other business strategies; (6) the nature, extent, and timing
of governmental actions and reforms; and (7) extended disruption of vital infrastructure. The
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) passed 10/3/08 could have an undetermined
material impact on company performance depending on rules of participation that have yet to be
finalized. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described
above can be found in Huntington’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and documents subsequently
filed by Huntington with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements
contained or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on information
available at the time of the release. Huntington assumes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement.
The information contained or incorporated by reference in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K shall be
treated as “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
