What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to report BNY Mellon's financial results for the fourth quarter of 2019 and to provide investors with access to the detailed financial information and presentations related to these results.

Where can I find the specific financial details for Q4 2019?

The specific financial details for the fourth quarter of 2019 can be found in Exhibit 99.1 (Earnings Release) and Exhibit 99.2 (Financial Supplement), which are incorporated by reference into the 8-K filing.

What is the significance of the 'Excluded Section' mentioned in the filing?

The 'Excluded Section' refers to specific content within Exhibit 99.1 that BNY Mellon has explicitly stated should not be considered 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means that content is not subject to the liabilities associated with 'filed' information under that specific section, nor is it automatically incorporated into other SEC filings. However, the rest of the Earnings Release and the Financial Supplement are considered filed.

What does it mean that Exhibits 99.1 (excluding the Excluded Section) and 99.2 are 'deemed filed'?

When financial information is 'deemed filed,' it means it is officially part of the SEC filing and is subject to the regulations and liabilities associated with submitted information, particularly under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This contrasts with information that is merely 'furnished,' which generally carries fewer regulatory implications.
