“The search for a permanent CEO continues to progress as the
board seeks to fill this position in an expeditious manner,” a
spokesperson said. “Once appointed, the CEO will also serve on
CIT’s board of directors.”

career, including CFO of The Chase Manhattan Corporation and CFO of
Chemical Banking Corporation.
He has been a director of CIT since July 2002, and previously
from May 1984 to June 2001.
