Regulation FD Disclosure |
Chemical Financial Corporation will hold its annual meeting of shareholders on Monday, April 18, 2005, at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time at which meeting the shareholders will (1) elect a board of eleven directors; and (2) transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting.
Chemical is making this meeting accessible to the public by telephone on a listen-only basis. Anyone interested in the meeting may access the meeting on a live basis by dialing (800) 407-7942.
It is anticipated that some of the information presented at this annual meeting will contain forward-looking statements. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "should," "will," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current beliefs as to the expected outcomes of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. These statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause a difference include, among others: changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances and issues; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; changes in the local and national economy; opportunities for acquisitions and the effective completion of acquisitions and integration of acquired entities; and the local and global effects of the ongoing war on terrorism and other military actions, including actions in Iraq. These and other factors that may emerge could cause decisions and actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Chemical undertakes no obligation to revise, update, or clarify forward-looking statements to reflect events or conditions after the date of the annual meeting.
