Frequently Asked Questions

This filing is Amendment No. 1 to PNC's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Its primary purpose is to correct typographical errors that were inadvertently introduced into Items 1 (Business) and 1A (Risk Factors) of the original filing by an outside printer.

The acquisition of RBC Bank (USA) is a major strategic move for PNC, significantly expanding its retail banking footprint across five states (North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina) and adding over 400 branches. This acquisition is expected to enhance PNC's scale and market presence in key growth regions.

PNC highlights several key risks, including the potential for economic recovery to falter or return to recessionary conditions, volatility in financial markets (particularly concerning European sovereign debt), the impact of stringent new regulations like Dodd-Frank and Basel III on capital and liquidity requirements, competitive pressures in the financial services industry, and risks associated with its mortgage business and ongoing litigation.

PNC acknowledges that Dodd-Frank and Basel III will significantly impact the financial services industry. The company is actively monitoring regulatory developments, including new capital and liquidity standards, enhanced prudential standards for large bank holding companies, and derivatives regulations. PNC is working to adapt its business practices, potentially increasing capital and liquidity levels, and expects these changes to increase compliance obligations and costs.
