STRONG LEADERSHIP TEAM,
TALENTED ASSOCIATES WILL
MOVE REGIONS FORWARD
In December 2009, I announced that
I would retire as Chairman and CEO
effective March 31, 2010. Over my
40-year career, this company has grown
from a local, small-town bank to one of
the nation’s largest fi nancial institutions.
The industry where I started my career is
nothing like the industry I will be leaving.
But one thing has remained the same
– banking continues to be a business
built on relationships. I am proud that
Regions has never lost its focus on
serving customers or building the kind
of relationships that produce the highest
level of loyalty and satisfaction.
As we emerge from an unprecedented
economic recession, and as all banks face
regulatory reform, I believe Grayson Hall
is the right leader to take our company
into the future. During his 30 years
with our company, Grayson has played
an instrumental role in growing and
reshaping Regions. I am confi dent
our best days are ahead. We have great
people focused on service quality and
productivity; our presence in the Southeast
is solid; and we have an industry-leading
technology platform that allows us to be
fl exible and responsive to the changing
needs of our customers.
I believe Regions has the most talented
team of associates in the industry, and
I consider it a privilege to have worked
with them. I also consider it a privilege
to have worked with a Board of Directors
that gave sound guidance and shared a
commitment to ensuring Regions is in
a position of strength as we emerge from
a turbulent economic crisis.
Finally, I thank our shareholders for
your confi dence, continuing support
and investment.
C. Dowd Ritter
Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer
One thing has remained the same –
banking continues to be a business
built on relationships. I am proud that
Regions has never lost its focus on
serving customers or building the
kind of relationships that produce the
highest level of loyalty and satisfaction.
