Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed June 12, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY) announced on June 12, 2026, that it will redeem all outstanding shares of its Series H Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and the corresponding depositary shares.
The filing covers 5,825 preferred shares and 582,500 depositary shares, each depositary share representing a 1/100th interest in a preferred share. The redemption date is June 20, 2026, the dividend payment date for the series. The redemption payment of $1,000a per depositary share ($100,000 per preferred share) is scheduled for June 22, 2026.
Aggregate redemption proceeds work out to roughly $582.5 millionb. For investors, this is a routine capital-management action in which the company retires a fully outstanding preferred series at its stated redemption value. Once the redemption date passes, dividends on the series stop accruing, which reduces future preferred dividend obligations.
The filing does not disclose the series' dividend rate, the funding source for the redemption, or any accounting gain or loss on redemption, so the effect on earnings and per-share metrics cannot be determined from this document alone. The filing is a press release incorporated by reference and does not include quantitative financial statements. Investors seeking the impact on capital ratios, the cost of the retired preferred, or the funding plan should review BNY's subsequent periodic reports and any regulatory capital disclosures.

Will holders still receive the dividend for the period?
The redemption payment does not include the dividend payable on the payment date. That dividend is payable to holders of record on the applicable record date, so holders may receive it separately on the payment date. Dividends stop accruing on the redemption date.
How will holders of depositary shares receive their payment?
The depositary shares are held in book-entry form through DTC and will be redeemed according to DTC procedures.

What does this redemption mean for BNY's financials?
The filing does not disclose the series' dividend rate, the source of funds, or any gain or loss on redemption. Retiring the preferred stock eliminates its future dividend obligations, but the net effect on earnings, capital ratios, and per-share metrics cannot be determined from this filing alone.
