Summary

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, detailing the elimination of its Series G Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. This action, effective upon filing on September 23, 2025, involved amending the company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of Delaware. This effectively removes all provisions related to the Series G Preferred Stock from the company's charter documents. Crucially for investors, all outstanding shares of the Series G Preferred Stock were redeemed on September 20, 2025, prior to the filing of the Certificate of Elimination. This signifies a complete retirement of this specific class of preferred stock.
