Summary
This Form 8-K filing by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) on July 22, 2011, primarily announces the company's conference call and webcast to discuss its second quarter 2011 financial results. The company made available detailed "Quarterly Earnings Review" and "Financial Trends" information on its website on July 19, 2011, which are furnished as exhibits to this report. Investors should note that these furnished exhibits may contain "non-GAAP financial measures." The company states that management believes these measures are valuable for analyzing financial results and trends, facilitating comparisons with prior periods, and evaluating the impact of revenues from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. While these materials provide insights into the company's performance, they are considered "furnished" rather than "filed" and thus do not carry the same legal implications under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
