Summary
This 8-K filing from The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK), filed on October 22, 2008, primarily serves to report on the company's third-quarter 2008 results of operations and financial condition. The key event disclosed is the company's conference call and webcast held on October 16, 2008, to discuss these results. In conjunction with this call, BK made available a Quarterly Earnings Summary and Financial Trends document on its website, which are furnished as exhibits to this report. While the 8-K itself does not contain detailed financial figures, it directs investors to these supplementary documents (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) for in-depth information on the company's performance during the third quarter of 2008. Management believes these materials, which may include non-GAAP financial measures, are useful for investors to analyze ongoing operations, facilitate period-over-period comparisons, and understand the impact of both taxable and tax-exempt revenues.
