Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws that are based upon our current
expectations and assumptions concerning future events, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“forecast,” “initiative,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,”
“outlook,” “priorities,” “target,” “intend,” “evaluate,” “pursue,”
“commence,” “seek,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,”
“believe,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions
is intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Form 8-K, other than statements of historical
fact, including without limitation, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and expectations regarding future events
and our financial performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. While these statements
represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are
not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially. Important factors that could cause
our actual results to be materially different from our expectations include, among others, the risk that CIT is unsuccessful in
implementing its strategy and business plan, the risk that CIT is unable to react to and address key business and regulatory issues,
the risk that CIT is unable to achieve the projected revenue growth from its new business initiatives or the projected expense
reductions from efficiency improvements, and the risk that CIT becomes subject to liquidity constraints and higher funding costs.
We describe these and other risks that could affect our results in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our latest Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you
should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K. These forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date on which the statements were made. CIT undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise
any forward-looking statements, except where expressly required by law.
