Summary
This 8-K filing by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) on April 19, 2011, primarily serves to announce the company's financial results for the first quarter of 2011. The report itself does not contain the detailed financial figures but instead furnishes a press release (Exhibit 99.1) that provides this information. Investors should refer to the attached press release for specifics on revenue, earnings, and other key operational metrics for the period ending March 31, 2011.
