Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements
This announcement contains forward-looking statements, including with respect to financial information, that are based
on current expectations or beliefs, as well as assumptions about future events. These forward-looking statements can be
identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often
use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "will", "may",
"should", "would", "could", "is confident", or other words of similar meaning. Undue reliance should not be placed on
any such statements because they speak only as at the date of this announcement and, by their very nature, they are
subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can be affected by other factors that could cause actual
results, and Metro Bank's plans and objectives, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. No representation or warranty is made that any forward-looking statement will come to pass.
You are advised to read the Prospectus and Circular in their entirety, and, in particular, the section of the
Prospectus headed "Risk Factors", for a further discussion of the factors that could affect Metro Bank's future
performance and the industry in which it operates. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events
described in the forward-looking statements, including statements regarding prospective financial information, in this
announcement may not occur. These statements are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative
of future results, and readers of this announcement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements, including those regarding prospective financial information.
No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast, and no statement in this announcement should be
interpreted to mean that underlying operating profit for the current or future financial years would necessarily be
above a minimum level, or match or exceed the historical published operating profit or set a minimum level of operating
profit.
Neither Metro Bank nor any of its advisers is under any obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statement contained within this announcement, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the Listing Rules and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules).
