As stated in Note 1, Regions evaluates each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in
the fourth quarter, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Due to the
economic environment, Regions performed interim impairments tests during the second and third quarters of
2008. Step One of the interim impairment tests indicated that the fair value of the respective reporting units was
greater than the carrying value (including goodwill) during those quarters.
