ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Wachovia Corporation (formerly named First Union Corporation, "Wachovia") was
incorporated under the laws of North Carolina in 1967 and is registered as a
financial holding company and a bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization in 1968,
a predecessor of First Union National Bank ("FUNB") and First Union Mortgage
Corporation, a mortgage banking firm acquired in 1964, became our subsidiaries.
The merger of Wachovia Corporation ("Legacy Wachovia") and First Union
Corporation ("Legacy First Union") was effective September 1, 2001. Legacy First
Union changed its name to "Wachovia Corporation" on the date of the merger. As
the surviving corporate entity in the merger, information contained in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless indicated otherwise, includes information
about Legacy First Union only. Whenever we use the "Wachovia" name in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, we mean the new combined company and, before the
merger, Legacy First Union, unless indicated otherwise.
We provide a wide range of commercial and retail banking and trust services
through full-service banking offices in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Virginia and Washington, D.C. FUNB, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, operates
those offices, except in Delaware, where First Union National Bank of Delaware
operates the offices. In addition, Wachovia Bank, National Association ("WBNA"),
based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, operates retail banking and trust
services through full-service banking offices in Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. We expect to merge FUNB and WBNA on or
around April 1, 2002, and the name of the surviving bank shall be "Wachovia
Bank, National Association". We also provide various other financial services,
including mortgage banking, credit card, investment banking, investment
advisory, home equity lending, asset-based lending, leasing, insurance,
international and securities brokerage services, through other subsidiaries.
Our principal executive offices are located at One Wachovia Center, 301 South
College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288-0013 (telephone number (704)
374-6565).
Since the 1985 Supreme Court decision upholding regional interstate banking
legislation, we have concentrated our efforts on building a large, diversified
financial services organization, primarily doing business in the eastern region
of the United States. Since November 1985, Legacy First Union has completed over
90 banking-related acquisitions.
With the completion of our merger with Legacy Wachovia, we are focused on
generating improved core earnings growth from our four key businesses, including
Capital Management, the General Bank, Wealth Management and Corporate &
Investment Banking. We are focused on integrating Legacy Wachovia and Legacy
First Union's business operations over a planned three-year integration period.
We will continue to evaluate our operations and organizational structures to
ensure they are closely aligned with our goal of maximizing performance in our
core business lines. When consistent with our overall business strategy, we may
consider the disposition of certain assets, branches, subsidiaries or lines of
business. We routinely explore acquisition opportunities, particularly in areas
that would complement our core business lines, and frequently conduct due
diligence activities in connection with possible acquisitions. As a result,
acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations frequently take place
and future acquisitions involving cash, debt or equity securities can be
expected.
Additional information relating to our businesses and our subsidiaries is
included in the information set forth on pages 20 through 24 and in Note 11 on
pages 91 through 93 in the Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Information relating to Wachovia Corporation only is set forth in Note 17 on
pages 104 through 107 in the Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference.
COMPETITION
Our subsidiaries face substantial competition in their operations from banking
and non-banking institutions, including savings and loan associations, credit
unions, money market funds and other investment vehicles, mutual fund advisory
companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, leasing companies, credit card
issuers, mortgage banking companies, investment banking companies, finance
companies and other types of financial services providers, including
Internet-only financial service providers.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The following discussion sets forth some of the material elements of the
regulatory framework applicable to financial
3
holding companies and bank holding companies and their subsidiaries and provides
some specific information relevant to us. The regulatory framework is intended
primarily for the protection of depositors and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Funds and not for the protection of security holders. To the extent that the
following information describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and
regulatory provisions. A change in applicable statutes, regulations or
regulatory policy may have a material effect on our business.
GENERAL
As a financial holding company and a bank holding company, Wachovia is subject
to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act and its examination and
reporting requirements. The earnings of our subsidiaries, and therefore our
earnings, are affected by general economic conditions, management policies and
the legislative and governmental actions of various regulatory authorities,
including the Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller of the Currency (the
"Comptroller") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). In
addition, there are numerous governmental requirements and regulations which
affect our activities and the activities of our subsidiaries.
PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
Wachovia Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking
and other subsidiaries. A major portion of our revenues result from amounts paid
as dividends to us by our national bank subsidiaries. The Comptroller's prior
approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank
in any calendar year will exceed the sum of that bank's net profits for that
year and its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years, less any
required transfers to surplus. Federal law also prohibits national banks from
paying dividends which would be greater than the bank's undivided profits after
deducting statutory bad debt in excess of the bank's allowance for loan losses.
Under the foregoing dividend restrictions and certain restrictions applicable to
certain of our non-banking subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2001, our
subsidiaries, without obtaining affirmative governmental approvals, could pay
aggregate dividends of $999 million to us during 2002. In 2001, our subsidiaries
paid $1.6 billion in cash dividends to us.
In addition, we and our banking subsidiaries are subject to various general
regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends,
including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums.
The appropriate federal regulatory authority is authorized to determine under
certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of a bank or bank
holding company that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound
practice and to prohibit payment thereof. The appropriate federal regulatory
authorities have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank's capital
base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice and
that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current
operating earnings.
BORROWINGS
There are also various legal restrictions on the extent to which we and our
non-bank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from our banking
subsidiaries. In general, these restrictions require that any such extensions of
credit must be secured by designated amounts of specified collateral and are
limited, as to any one of us or those non-bank subsidiaries, to 10% of the
lending bank's capital stock and surplus, and as to us and all non-bank
subsidiaries in the aggregate, to 20% of such lending bank's capital stock and
surplus.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Under the risk-based capital requirements for bank holding companies, the
minimum requirement for the ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets (including
certain off-balance-sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%.
At least half of the total capital (as defined below) is to be composed of
common stockholders' equity, retained earnings, a limited amount of qualifying
perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain intangibles ("tier 1
capital"). The remainder of total capital may consist of mandatory convertible
debt securities and a limited amount of subordinated debt, qualifying preferred
stock and loan loss allowance ("tier 2 capital", and together with tier 1
capital, "total capital"). At December 31, 2001, our tier 1 capital and total
capital ratios were 7.04% and 11.08%, respectively.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio
guidelines for bank holding companies. These requirements provide for a minimum
leverage ratio of tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets less
certain amounts ("leverage ratio") equal to 3% for bank holding companies that
meet certain specified
4
criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding
companies will generally be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least
4%. Our leverage ratio at December 31, 2001, was 6.19%. The guidelines also
provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making
acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially
above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible
assets. Furthermore, the guidelines indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will
continue to consider a "tangible tier 1 leverage ratio" (deducting all
intangibles) in evaluating proposals for expansion or to engage in new activity.
The Federal Reserve Board has not advised us of any specific minimum leverage
ratio or tier 1 leverage ratio applicable to us.
Each of our subsidiary banks is subject to similar capital requirements adopted
by the Comptroller or other applicable regulatory agency. Neither the
Comptroller nor such applicable regulatory agency has advised any of our
subsidiary banks of any specific minimum leverage ratios applicable to it. The
capital ratios of our bank subsidiaries are set forth in Table 17 on page 53 in
the Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference.
SUPPORT OF SUBSIDIARY BANKS
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended ("FDIA"), among other things,
imposes liability on an institution the deposits of which are insured by the
FDIC, such as our subsidiary banks, for certain potential obligations to the
FDIC incurred in connection with other FDIC-insured institutions under common
control with such institution.
Under the National Bank Act, if the capital stock of a national bank is impaired
by losses or otherwise, the Comptroller is authorized to require payment of the
deficiency by assessment upon the bank's stockholders, pro rata, and to the
extent necessary, if any such assessment is not paid by any stockholder after
three months notice, to sell the stock of such stockholder to make good the
deficiency. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, we are expected to act as a
source of financial strength to each of our subsidiary banks and to commit
resources to support each of those subsidiaries. This support may be required at
times when, absent such Federal Reserve Board policy, we may not find ourselves
able to provide it.
Any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are
subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of
such subsidiary banks. In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any
commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to
maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy
trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION
The FDIA, among other things, requires the federal banking agencies to take
"prompt corrective action" in respect of depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements. FDIA establishes five capital tiers: "well
capitalized", "adequately capitalized", "undercapitalized", "significantly
undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized". A depository institution's
capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels compare to various
relevant capital measures and certain other factors, as established by
regulation.
Federal regulatory authorities have adopted regulations establishing relevant
capital measures and relevant capital levels applicable to FDIC-insured banks.
The relevant capital measures are the total capital ratio, the tier 1 capital
ratio and the leverage ratio. Under the regulations, an FDIC-insured bank will
be: (i) "well capitalized" if it has a total capital ratio of 10% or greater, a
tier 1 capital ratio of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater and
is not subject to any order or written directive by any such regulatory
authority to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure;
(ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a total capital ratio of 8% or greater,
a tier 1 capital ratio of 4% or greater and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater
(3% in certain circumstances) and is not "well capitalized"; (iii)
"undercapitalized" if it has a total capital ratio of less than 8%, a tier 1
capital ratio of less than 4% or a leverage ratio of less than 4% (3% in certain
circumstances); (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total capital
ratio of less than 6%, a tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage
ratio of less than 3%; and (v) "critically undercapitalized" if its tangible
equity is equal to or less than 2% of average quarterly tangible assets. An
institution may be downgraded to, or deemed to be in, a capital category that is
lower than is indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined to be in an
unsafe or unsound condition or if it receives an unsatisfactory examination
rating with respect to certain matters. As of December 31, 2001, all of our
deposit-taking subsidiary banks had capital levels that qualify them as being
"well capitalized" under those regulations.
The FDIA generally prohibits an FDIC-insured depository institution from making
any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any
management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would
thereafter be "undercapitalized". "Undercapitalized" depository institutions are
subject to growth limitations and are
5
required to submit a capital restoration plan. The federal banking agencies may
not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan
is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the
depository institution's capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to
be acceptable, the depository institution's parent holding company must
guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan.
The aggregate liability of the parent holding company is limited to the lesser
of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the depository institution's total assets at the
time it became "undercapitalized", and (ii) the amount which is necessary (or
would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all
capital standards applicable with respect to such institution as of the time it
fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an
acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is "significantly undercapitalized".
"Significantly undercapitalized" depository institutions may be subject to a
number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become "adequately capitalized", requirements to reduce total
assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
"Critically undercapitalized" institutions are subject to the appointment of a
receiver or conservator. A bank that is not "well capitalized" is subject to
certain limitations relating to so-called "brokered" deposits.
DEPOSITOR PREFERENCE STATUTE
Under federal law, deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and
employee compensation against an insured depository institution would be
afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an
institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the "liquidation
or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver.
INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING LEGISLATION
The Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"IBBEA"), authorized interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies
without geographic limitation beginning one year after enactment. In addition,
it authorized, beginning June 1, 1997, a bank to merge with a bank in another
state as long as neither of the states opted out of interstate branching between
the date of enactment of the IBBEA and May 31, 1997. In addition, a bank may
establish and operate a de novo branch in a state in which the bank does not
maintain a branch if that state expressly permits de novo branching. It was
pursuant to authority from IBBEA that we reorganized certain of our subsidiary
banks in 1997 and in February 1998, as a result of which FUNB, based in
Charlotte, North Carolina, operates in 10 states and Washington, D.C. In
addition, on April 1, 2002, we plan to merge FUNB and WBNA pursuant to this
statutory authorization.
FINANCIAL MODERNIZATION ACT OF 1999
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 was enacted on
November 12, 1999. The Modernization Act:
- allows bank holding companies meeting management, capital and
CRA standards to engage in a substantially broader range of
nonbanking activities than was permissible prior to enactment,
including insurance underwriting and making merchant banking
investments in commercial and financial companies;
- allows insurers and other financial services companies to
acquire banks;
- removes various restrictions that applied to bank holding
company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory
companies; and
- establishes the overall regulatory structure applicable to
bank holding companies that also engage in insurance and
securities operations.
This part of the Modernization Act became effective on March 11, 2000. The
Federal Reserve Board notified us that, effective March 13, 2000, we are
authorized to operate as a financial holding company and therefore are eligible
to engage in the broader range of activities that are permitted by the
Modernization Act. The Modernization Act will also modify other current
financial laws, including laws related to financial privacy and community
reinvestment. The new financial privacy provisions will generally prohibit
financial institutions, including us, from disclosing nonpublic personal
financial information to nonaffiliated third parties unless customers have the
opportunity to "opt out" of the disclosure.
INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING ABATEMENT AND FINANCIAL ANTI-TERRORISM ACT
OF 2001
6
On October 26, 2001, the President signed the USA Patriot Act of 2001 into law.
This act contains the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial
Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "IMLAFA"). The IMLAFA contains anti-money
laundering measures affecting insured depository institutions, broker-dealers
and certain other financial institutions. The IMLAFA requires U.S. financial
institutions to adopt new policies and procedures to combat money laundering and
grants the Secretary of the Treasury broad authority to establish regulations
and to impose requirements and restrictions on financial institutions'
operations. As of the date of this filing, we have not determined the impact
that IMLAFA will have on Wachovia's operations but the impact is not expected to
be material. Wachovia will establish policies and procedures to ensure
compliance with the IMLAFA.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Additional information related to certain accounting and regulatory matters is
set forth on pages 35 through 37 in the Annual Report and incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
As of December 31, 2001, we and our subsidiaries owned 1,654 locations and
leased 3,842 locations in 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and 27
foreign countries from which our business is conducted, including a
multi-building office complex in Charlotte, North Carolina, which serves as our
administrative headquarters. Additional information relating to our lease
commitments is set forth in Note 16 on page 103 in the Annual Report and
incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various
legal actions arising from their normal business activities in which varying
amounts are claimed. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect
to those matters cannot be determined, in management's opinion, based upon the
opinions of counsel, any such liability will not have a material effect on our
and our subsidiaries' consolidated financial position or results of operations.
A number of purported class actions were filed in June through August 1999
against us in the United States District Courts for the Western District of
North Carolina and for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. These actions named
us and certain of our executive officers as defendants and were purported to be
on behalf of persons who purchased shares of our common stock from August 14,
1998, through May 24, 1999. These actions were consolidated into one case in the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina in October 1999.
These complaints alleged various violations of federal securities law, including
violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and that the defendants made
materially misleading statements and/or material omissions which artificially
inflated prices for our common stock. The complaints alleged that management
failed to disclose integration problems in the CoreStates Financial Corp merger
and misstated the value of our interest in certain mortgage-backed securities of
The Money Store, Inc. ("TMSI") acquired by Legacy First Union on June 30, 1998.
Plaintiffs sought a judgment awarding damages and other relief. On January 10,
2001, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina granted
our motion to dismiss the litigation for failure to state a claim upon which
relief could be granted. Although the plaintiffs did not appeal this ruling,
they sought, and received permission to file an amended complaint. In August
2001, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that abandoned their previous
allegations concerning the CoreStates Financial Corp merger and primarily raised
new allegations of irregularities at TMSI prior to its acquisition by Legacy
First Union. In October 2001, we filed a motion to dismiss this new complaint on
several grounds, including that the complaint is barred by the statute of
limitations. The court has not ruled on our motion to dismiss. We believe the
allegations contained in these actions are without merit and will vigorously
defend them. We believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not
have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.
On July 26, 2000, a jury in the Philadelphia County (PA) Court of Common Pleas
returned a verdict in the case captioned Pioneer Commercial Funding Corporation
v. American Financial Mortgage Corporation, CoreStates Bank, N.A., et al. The
verdict against CoreStates Bank, N.A. ("CoreStates"), a predecessor of First
Union National Bank, included consequential damages of $13.5 million and
punitive damages of $337.5 million. The trial court had earlier directed a
verdict against CoreStates for compensatory damages of $1.7 million. The
plaintiff, who was not a CoreStates customer, alleged that the sum of $1.7
million, which it claims it owned, was improperly setoff by CoreStates. Upon our
motion, the trial court reduced the amount of the punitive damages award to
$40.5 million in December 2000. We believe that numerous reversible errors
occurred at the trial, and that the facts do not support the damages awards. We
appeared before the Pennsylvania Superior Court in November 2001 to argue our
appeal to reverse the trial court's decision and await the appellate court's
decision on our appeal. We will vigorously pursue our pending post-trial motions
and our right of appeal. We believe, after consultation with external counsel,
that the
7
ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on
our consolidated financial position.
A number of lawsuits have been filed in 2000 and 2001 against TMSI and certain
other affiliates in various jurisdictions. Substantially all of the plaintiffs
were borrowers of TMSI prior to our acquisition of TMSI in June 1998. The
borrower plaintiffs generally allege violations of federal and/or state law in
connection with TMSI lending activities. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits are
seeking compensatory and punitive damages and other relief. We will vigorously
defend the claims alleged in these cases. We believe that the ultimate outcome
of these cases, individually and in the aggregate, will not result in judgments
that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Not applicable.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

dividends paid on, the common stock for the two-year period ended December 31,
2001, and incorporated herein by reference. Prices shown represent the high, low
and quarter-end sale prices of the common stock as reported on the NYSE
Composite Transactions tape for the periods indicated. As of December 31, 2001,
there were 191,231 holders of record of the common stock.
In connection with the merger with Legacy Wachovia, holders of shares of Legacy
Wachovia common stock elected to receive, in addition to 2 shares of Wachovia
common stock, either a one-time $0.48 cash payment or 2 shares of a new class of
Wachovia preferred stock. At December 31, 2001, 96,138,876 Wachovia Dividend
Equalization Preferred shares ("DEPs") were issued in connection with the
merger. The DEPs pay a quarterly dividend per share equal to the difference
between $0.30 and the quarterly dividend paid per share on Wachovia common
stock. The DEPs are not listed on a national securities exchange and have no
voting rights. Wachovia will cease to pay a dividend on the DEPs when Wachovia's
common stock dividend equals at least $1.20 per share in the aggregate for four
consecutive quarters.
Subject to the prior rights of holders of any outstanding shares of our
preferred stock or Class A preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled
to receive such dividends as may be legally declared by our board of directors
and, in the event of dissolution and liquidation, to receive our net assets
remaining after payment of all liabilities, in proportion to their respective
holdings. Additional information concerning certain limitations on our payment
of dividends is set forth above under "Business -- Supervision and Regulation;
Payment of Dividends" and in Note 17 on page 104 in the Annual Report and
incorporated herein by reference.
Under our Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement, each outstanding common stock
share has a right attached to it. This right remains attached unless a
separation time occurs. At separation time, common shareholders will receive
separate certificates for these rights. Each right entitles its owner to
purchase at separation time one one-hundredth of a share of a participating
series of Class A preferred stock for $105. This series of Class A preferred
stock would have economic and voting terms similar to those of one common stock
share. Separation time would generally occur at the earlier of the following two
dates:
- the tenth business day after any person commences a tender or
exchange offer that entitles that person to 10% or more of our
outstanding common stock, or
- the tenth business day after we publicly announce that a
person has acquired beneficial ownership of 10% or more of our
outstanding common stock.
These rights will not trade separately from the shares of common stock until
separation time occurs, and may be exercised on the business day immediately
after the separation time. The rights will expire at the earliest of:
- the date on which our board of directors elects to exchange
the rights for our common stock or preferred stock as
described below;
- the close of business on December 28, 2010, unless our board
of directors extends that time; or
8
- the date on which the rights are terminated as described
below.
Once we publicly announce that a person has acquired 10% of our outstanding
common stock, we can allow for rights holders to buy our common stock for half
of its market value. For example, we would sell to each rights holder common
stock shares worth $210 for $105 in cash. At the same time, any rights held by
the 10% owner or any of its affiliates, associates or transferees will be void.
In addition, if we are acquired in a merger or other business combination after
a person has become a 10% owner, the rights held by shareholders would become
exercisable to purchase the acquiring company's common stock for half of its
market value.
In the alternative, our board of directors may elect to exchange all of the then
outstanding rights for shares of common stock at an exchange ratio of two common
stock shares for one right. Upon election of this exchange, a right will no
longer be exercisable and will only represent a right to receive two common
stock shares.
If we are required to issue common stock shares upon the exercise of rights, or
in exchange for rights, our board may substitute shares of participating Class A
preferred stock. The substitution will be at a rate of two one one-hundredths of
a share of participating Class A preferred stock for each right exchanged.
The rights may be terminated without any payment to holders before their
exercise date. The rights have no voting rights and are not entitled to
dividends.
The rights will not prevent a takeover of Wachovia. The rights, however, may
cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 10% or more of
common stock unless our board first terminates the rights. Nevertheless, the
rights should not interfere with a transaction that is in Wachovia's and its
shareholders' best interests because the rights can be terminated by the board
before that transaction is completed.
The complete terms of the rights are contained in the Shareholder Protection
Rights Agreement. The foregoing description of the rights and the rights
agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement. A copy of
the rights agreement can be obtained upon written request to First Union
National Bank, 1525 West W.T. Harris Blvd., Charlotte, North Carolina
28288-1153.
On November 1, 2001, Wachovia acquired The Rhodes Agency, Inc. In connection
with that acquisition, Wachovia issued an aggregate of 168,536 shares of
Wachovia common stock to the stockholder of Rhodes. The sale of the shares of
common stock by Wachovia were exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof because the sale did not
involve a public offering.
