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. Investors holding BK common stock or other outstanding securities should note that this filing primarily pertains to the administrative and corporate governance aspects of eliminating a specific, now-redeemed, class of preferred stock and does not appear to involve any new equity issuance or significant operational changes.
