Summary
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) filed its quarterly report for the period ending June 29, 2009, providing insights into its legal proceedings, share repurchase activity, and shareholder voting outcomes from its annual meeting. The company addressed ongoing legal actions, stating that while individual or aggregate outcomes could materially impact net income for a given period, they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity, after accounting for reserves and insurance.

A significant share repurchase program authorized in December 2007 remains largely available, with 33.8 million shares authorized for repurchase as of June 30, 2009. The report also details the outcomes of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, where directors were elected, executive compensation was approved on an advisory basis, and the appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent auditor was ratified. Stockholder proposals regarding cumulative voting and share retention policies were not approved.
