Summary

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) filed an 8-K on April 17, 2019, to announce its first-quarter 2019 financial results. The filing primarily serves to incorporate by reference the company's Earnings Release (Exhibit 99.1) and Financial Supplement (Exhibit 99.2), which contain detailed financial performance data for the quarter ended April 16, 2019. Investors should review these attached documents for comprehensive insights into BNY Mellon's operational and financial condition during the period. While the 8-K itself doesn't present new financial figures, it directs investors to the officially released earnings materials. These exhibits, particularly the Earnings Release and Financial Supplement (excluding a specific "Excluded Section" in the release, which is furnished but not filed), are incorporated into the filing and are therefore subject to SEC disclosure rules. A separate Financial Highlights presentation (Exhibit 99.3) was also furnished.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially announce and incorporate by reference BNY Mellon's financial results for the first quarter of 2019. It directs investors to the detailed Earnings Release and Financial Supplement that contain the actual financial data.

The detailed financial results for Q1 2019 can be found in Exhibit 99.1 (Earnings Release) and Exhibit 99.2 (Financial Supplement) which are attached to this 8-K filing and incorporated by reference.

No, a specific section of the Earnings Release, referred to as the 'Excluded Section', is 'furnished' rather than 'filed'. This means it is not subject to the liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and it will not be automatically incorporated by reference into other SEC filings unless explicitly stated.

The distinction is important for regulatory and liability purposes. Information that is 'filed' is subject to stricter disclosure requirements and potential liability under securities laws. Information that is 'furnished' generally has fewer regulatory obligations associated with it.
