  meaning of United States securities laws. In addition, State Street Corporation
  and its management may make other written or oral communications from time to
  time that contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements,
  including statements about industry trends, management&#146;s future expectations
  and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts, are based on
  assumptions by management, and are often identified by such forward-looking
  terminology as &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;look,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;may,&#148;
  &#147;will,&#148; &#147;trend,&#148; &#147;target&#148; and &#147;goal,&#148; or similar statements or variations of
  such terms. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things,
  statements about State Street&#146;s confidence in its strategies and its
  expectations about financial performance, market growth, acquisitions and
  divestitures, new technologies, services and opportunities and earnings.</font></p>

  statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over
  time, are based on management&#146;s expectations and assumptions at the time the
  statements are made, and are not guarantees of future results. Management&#146;s
  expectations and assumptions, and the continued validity of the forward-looking
  statements, are subject to change due to a broad range of factors affecting the
  national and global economies, the equity, debt, currency and other financial
  markets, as well as factors specific to State Street and its subsidiaries,
  including State Street Bank. Factors that could cause changes in the
  expectations or assumptions on which forward-looking statements are based
  include, but are not limited to:</font></p>

  FORWARD-LOOKING
  STATEMENTS
  This report on Form 8-K
  contains statements that are considered "forward-looking statements" within the
  meaning of United States securities laws. In addition, State Street Corporation
  and its management may make other written or oral communications from time to
  time that contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements,
  including statements about industry trends, management's future expectations
  and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts, are based on
  assumptions by management, and are often identified by such forward-looking
  terminology as "expect," "look," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "seek," "may,"
  "will," "trend," "target" and "goal," or similar statements or variations of
  such terms. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things,
  statements about State Street's confidence in its strategies and its
  expectations about financial performance, market growth, acquisitions and
  divestitures, new technologies, services and opportunities and earnings.
  Forward-looking
  statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over
  time, are based on management's expectations and assumptions at the time the
  statements are made, and are not guarantees of future results. Management's
  expectations and assumptions, and the continued validity of the forward-looking
  statements, are subject to change due to a broad range of factors affecting the
  national and global economies, the equity, debt, currency and other financial
  markets, as well as factors specific to State Street and its subsidiaries,
  including State Street Bank. Factors that could cause changes in the
  expectations or assumptions on which forward-looking statements are based
  include, but are not limited to:
  ·
  the completion of the public offering of
  common stock described in this report;
  ·
  our ability to integrate acquisitions
  into our business, including the acquisition of Investors Financial Services
  Corp.;
  ·
  the level and volatility of interest
  rates, particularly in the U.S., Europe and the Asia/Pacific region; the
  performance and volatility of securities, currency and other markets in the
  U.S. and internationally; and economic conditions and monetary and other governmental
  actions designed to address those conditions;
  ·
  the liquidity of the U.S. and
  international securities markets, particularly the markets for fixed-income
  securities, including asset-backed commercial paper, and the liquidity
  requirements of our customers;
  ·
  our ability to measure the fair value of
  securities in our investment securities portfolio, particularly given current
  market conditions for many of these securities;
  ·
  the credit quality and credit agency
  ratings of the securities in our investment securities portfolio, a
  deterioration or downgrade of which could lead to other-than-temporary
  impairment of the respective securities and the recognition of an impairment
  loss;
  ·
  our ability to attract non-interest
  bearing deposits and other low-cost funds;
  ·
  the possibility that changes in market conditions
  or asset performance may require any off-balance sheet activities, including
  our asset-backed commercial paper conduits, to be consolidated into our
  financial statements, requiring the recognition of associated losses, if any;
  ·
  the results of litigation and similar
  disputes and, in particular, the effect that current or potential litigation
  may have on our reputation and the reputation of State Street Global Advisors ("SSgA")
  and our ability to attract and retain customers; and the possibility that the
  ultimate costs of the legal exposure associated with certain of SSgA's actively
  managed fixed-income strategies may exceed or be below the level of the related
  2
  reserve, in view
  of the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of litigation, and the amounts
  involved;
  ·
  the possibility of further developments
  of the nature that previously gave rise to the legal exposure associated with
  certain of SSgA's actively managed fixed-income and other investment
  strategies;
  ·
  the performance and demand for the
  products and services we offer;
  ·
  the competitive environment in which we
  operate;
  ·
  the enactment of legislation and changes
  in regulation and enforcement that impact us and our customers, as well as the
  effects of legal and regulatory proceedings, including litigation;
  ·
  our ability to continue to grow revenue,
  control expenses and attract the capital necessary to achieve our business
  goals and comply with regulatory requirements;
  ·
  our ability to manage systemic risks and
  control operating risks;
  ·
  our ability to obtain quality and timely
  services from third parties with which we contract;
  ·
  trends in the globalization of investment
  activity and the growth on a worldwide basis in financial assets;
  ·
  trends in governmental and corporate
  pension plans and savings rates;
  ·
  changes in accounting standards and
  practices, including changes in the interpretation of existing standards, that
  impact our consolidated financial statements; and
  ·
  changes in tax legislation and in the
  interpretation of existing tax laws by U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities that
  impact the amount of taxes due.
  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
  materially from what is expressed in our forward-looking statements and from
  our historical financial results due to the factors discussed above and
  elsewhere in this report or disclosed in our other Securities and Exchange
  Commission, or "SEC," filings. 
  Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our
  expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the date this report is
  filed with the SEC. State Street undertakes no obligation to revise the
  forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect events after the
  date it is filed with the SEC. The factors discussed above are not intended to
  be a complete summary of all risks and uncertainties that may affect our
  businesses. Though we strive to monitor and mitigate risk, we cannot anticipate
  all potential economic, operational and financial developments that may
  adversely impact our operations and our financial results.
  Forward-looking statements should not be viewed as
  predictions, and should not be the primary basis upon which investors evaluate
  State Street. Any investor in State Street should consider all risks and
  uncertainties disclosed in our SEC filings, including our filings under the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q
  and Form 8-K, or registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933,
  all of which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.statestreet.com.

  with our acquisition of Investors Financial Services Corp.  Management believes that operating-basis

  operations.  Management believes such
  presentation facilitates an investor's understanding and analysis of State
  Street's underlying performance and trends in addition to financial information
  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
