The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly disclose and furnish the presentation materials that The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation's senior management will use during their presentation at the 2012 Goldman Sachs Financial Services Conference. It ensures that investors have access to the same information being shared with conference attendees.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' versus 'filed'?

Information that is 'furnished' under Regulation FD, as stated in this filing, is generally made available to the public but does not carry the same legal implications as 'filed' information. 'Filed' information is automatically incorporated by reference into registration statements and other filings under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Furnished information is not automatically incorporated unless the company explicitly states it will be.

Who are the key executives presenting, and what might they discuss?

The presentation will be delivered by Gerald L. Hassell, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas P. Gibbons, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. While the 8-K doesn't detail the content, investors can typically expect discussions on the company's strategic initiatives, financial performance, market outlook, and business priorities from these senior leaders.
