About H. Rodgin Cohen

H. Rodgin Cohen is a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP and has served as
Chairman of the Firm since July 2000. The primary focus of his practice is
regulatory, acquisition, corporate governance and securities law matters for
major U.S. and non-U.S. banking and other financial institutions and their trade
associations.

For several decades, Mr. Cohen has been viewed by many as the dean of the
Nation`s banking lawyers, having advised on the first U.S. public offering by a
foreign bank, the establishment of the first interstate branch of a U.S. bank
and on virtually every substantial hostile takeover in the banking industry in
the U.S.

This past year, Mr. Cohen has played a singular role in the market events that
have changed the face of the financial services industry and the economy. In its
April 2009 edition, The American Lawyer ranked Mr. Cohen #1 among its 25
"Dealmakers of the Year" in 2008, noting that "he was Wall Street`s go-to lawyer
during the most important months for the American banking industry since the
Great Depression."

Under his leadership, S&C has been involved in virtually every aspect of the
response to the global credit crisis: (i) negotiating on behalf of clients and
coordinating with government regulators on a series of rescue financings,
including for AIG and Fannie Mae; (ii) negotiating and securing regulatory
approval for Sovereign Wealth Funds and other entities to provide significant
capital infusions to U.S. financial institutions, including Citigroup, Merrill
Lynch and Morgan Stanley; (iii) advising on major M&A transactions, including
the sales of Bear Stearns, Sovereign Bancorp, Wachovia, National City, Lehman
Brothers` North American investment banking and capital markets operations and
Washington Mutual`s banking operations; (iv) representing American Express and
Goldman Sachs in their reorganizations as bank holding companies; (v)
representing MUFG in its investment in Morgan Stanley and its acquisition of a
minority interest in UnionBanCal; and (vi) assisting non-U.S. clients, such as
Allianz, Barclays and ING Groep, with significant capital raising activities.

Under Mr. Cohen`s direction, S&C lawyers have worked with regulators to obtain
expedited approvals or clearances by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, CFIUS, the Department of the Treasury, the FDIC, the DOJ and the
FTC on these crisis-related M&A and capital markets transactions. Mr. Cohen
worked on regulatory aspects of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
with senior government officials, and S&C has represented Goldman Sachs,
JPMorgan Chase and The Bank of New York Mellon, three of the initial nine
financial institutions participating in this program, as well as numerous
institutions in the "second wave."
