      Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and

      from forward-looking statements or historical performance: (1) the 
      introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and 
      strategies; (2) changes in political, economic or industry conditions, 
      the interest rate environment or financial and capital markets, which 
      could result in changes in demand for products or services or in the 
      value of assets under management; (3) the relative and absolute 
      investment performance of BlackRock's investment products, including its 
      separately managed accounts and the former Merrill Lynch Investment 
      Managers (MLIM) business; (4) the impact of increased competition; (5) 
      the impact of capital improvement projects; (6) the impact of future 
      acquisitions or divestitures; (7) the unfavorable resolution of legal

      impact, extent and timing of technological changes and the adequacy of 
      intellectual property protection; (10) the impact of legislative and 
      regulatory actions and reforms and regulatory, supervisory or 
      enforcement actions of government agencies relating to BlackRock, 
      Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.; 
      (11) terrorist activities and international hostilities, which may 
      adversely affect the general economy, domestic and local financial and 
      capital markets, specific industries, and BlackRock; (12) the ability to 
      attract and retain highly talented professionals; (13) fluctuations in 
      foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect the value of 
      advisory fees earned by BlackRock; (14) the impact of changes to tax 
      legislation and, generally, the tax position of the Company; (15) 
      BlackRock's ability to successfully integrate the MLIM business with its 
      existing business; (16) the ability of BlackRock to effectively manage 
      the former MLIM assets along with its historical assets under
