Summary
This Form 8-K filing by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) on April 19, 2013, primarily serves to furnish supplemental financial information related to its first quarter 2013 earnings. The company held a conference call and webcast on April 17, 2013, to discuss these results. The key attachments to this filing are the "Quarterly Earnings Review for first quarter 2013" and "First Quarter 2013 Financial Trends" documents, which are provided as exhibits and are considered "furnished" rather than "filed" under SEC rules.

These measures are intended to facilitate comparisons with prior periods and provide a clearer understanding of financial trends, particularly in evaluating the impact of revenues from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
