Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally announce and provide access to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation's financial results for the second quarter of 2016, which were released on July 21, 2016.

The detailed financial results are primarily found in the Earnings Release (Exhibit 99.1) attached to this 8-K filing. Additionally, supplementary materials like Quarterly Financial Trends (Exhibit 99.2) and a Financial Highlights Presentation (Exhibit 99.3) are available on BNY Mellon's website and as furnished exhibits.

No, not all parts. While Exhibit 99.1 (the earnings release) is largely incorporated by reference and considered 'filed', a specific 'Excluded Section' is designated as 'furnished' and is not subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Information that is 'filed' is subject to stricter liability provisions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 'Furnished' information, such as the 'Excluded Section' and Exhibits 99.2/99.3 in this case, generally carries fewer liability implications and is provided for informational purposes without the same level of legal scrutiny.
