Statements in this release concerning future performance, developments, events, market forecasts, revenues, expenses, earnings, run rates and any other
guidance on present or future periods constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ materially from stated expectations
or current circumstances. These factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of demand for public and private securities offerings,

activity in the secondary securities markets, interest rates, the risks associated with merchant banking investments, the realization of gains and losses on principal investments, available
technologies, competition for business and personnel, and general economic, political and market conditions. Financial results may fluctuate substantially from quarter-to-quarter depending on the number, size and timing of completed transactions. We
have experienced, and expect to experience in the future, significant variations in our revenues and results of operations and, as a result, are unlikely to achieve steady and predictable earnings on a quarterly basis. For a discussion of these and
other risks and important factors that could affect FBRs future results and financial condition, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
