DISCLAIMER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|X|  Statements made in this investor presentation and in oral statements by the
     management of Regions Financial Corporation ("Regions" or "RF") and Union
     Planters Corporation ("Union Planters" or "UPC"), other than those
     containing historical information, are forward-looking statements made
     pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
     Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to,
     statements about the benefits of the merger between Regions and Union
     Planters, including future financial and operating results and Regions' and
     Union Planters' plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Such
     statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ
     materially from those set forth in these statements.

|X|  The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
     materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the
     ability to obtain governmental approvals of the merger on the proposed
     terms and schedule; the failure of Regions or Union Planters stockholders
     to approve the merger; the risk that Regions and Union Planters may not
     have the ability to effect the proposed merger; the risk that the
     businesses will not be integrated successfully, including integration of
     information systems and retention of key personnel; the risk that the cost
     savings and any revenue synergies from the merger may not be fully realized
     or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the merger
     making it more difficult to maintain relationships with clients, employees
     or suppliers; increased competition and its effect on pricing, spending,
     third-party relationships and revenues; and the risk of new and changing
     regulation in the U.S. and internationally. Additional factors that could
     cause Regions' and Union Planters' results to differ materially from those
     described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the 2002 Annual
     Reports on Forms 10-K of Regions and Union Planters, and in the Quarterly
     Reports on Forms 10-Q of Regions and Union Planters, filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the Securities and
     Exchange Commission's internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

|X|  Regions and Union Planters undertake no obligation to update these
     forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur
     after the date on which such statements were made.
