Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
In the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated November 7, 2002, which
contained a presentation made at the Forrester Research Executive Strategy
Forum, it was stated that on a worldwide basis, cardmembers have enrolled almost
10 million American Express cards in the Company's online account service, and
that online enrollment represented almost 18% of the Company's global card base,
including consumer, corporate and small business cardmembers. Upon further
review of the underlying data, the Company now believes that the numbers
reported should have been approximately 8 million cards enrolled in the online
account service, representing approximately 15% of the Company's global card
base. This change does not affect any other data that was cited in the
presentation.
