Summary

Summary of the 8-K/A filed January 3, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

KeyCorp filed this amendment to its Form 8-K originally filed on December 31, 2024, solely to correct a scrivener's error in the table of Capital and Earnings Improvement Awards under Item 5.02.

The error concerned the value of the awards granted to Andrew J. "Randy" Paine and Angela G. Mago.

No other disclosure in the original filing was changed. The underlying disclosure covers share-settled, performance-based equity awards granted on December 30, 2024 under the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Plan to the executive leadership team, including the named executive officers. The Compensation Committee said the awards are intended to increase executives' long-term stock ownership and to retain talent needed to deliver long-term shareholder value from the Scotiabank strategic minority investment.

Vesting will occur in January 2027, based on regulatory capital requirements, pre-determined cumulative earnings per share goals, and CET-1 capital goals over the two-year period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026. The maximum payout is 150%a of target, and the total value realizable by any individual executive is capped at 250% of the target grant value. Shares that vest are subject to a one-year holding period.

Target grant values as shown in the filing are $7,570,295b for Christopher M. Gorman, $2,928,983 for Clark Khayat, $2,613,551 for Andrew J. "Randy" Paine, $1,982,688 for Angela G.
