The filing includes the Earnings Release (Exhibit 99.1), Quarterly Financial Trends (Exhibit 99.2), Key Facts (Exhibit 99.3), and a Financial Highlights Presentation (Exhibit 99.4). The Earnings Release (except for an 'Excluded Section') is considered 'filed' and incorporated by reference.

The detailed financial performance data is primarily found in the Earnings Release (Exhibit 99.1) attached to this 8-K filing.

The 'Excluded Section' of the Earnings Release is explicitly stated as 'furnished' and not 'filed.'

It also won't be automatically incorporated by reference into future SEC filings unless BNY Mellon expressly states so.
