What was the primary event reported in this 8-K filing?

The primary event is the completion of the redemption of $300 million of capital securities issued by PNC Capital Trust D and the associated subordinated debentures. This action also led to the redesignation of debt covered under a Replacement Capital Covenant (RCC).

How does this redemption affect PNC's Replacement Capital Covenant (RCC)?

The redemption necessitated a redesignation of the debt that is covered by the RCC. Effective April 25, 2012, PNC's 6 7/8% Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2019, have become the new covered debt under this covenant.

What are the implications of the 6 7/8% Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2019, becoming the new covered debt?

These notes, originally issued by National City Corporation before its merger with PNC, now serve as the specific debt instrument governed by the terms of the Replacement Capital Covenant. This means they are subject to the provisions outlined in that covenant, which was established in connection with a prior debt issuance in 2008.

Why is the Replacement Capital Covenant (RCC) significant for investors?

The RCC is significant because it represents a commitment by PNC regarding its debt structure and its ability to replace certain forms of capital. For investors holding the designated covered debt, it provides certain protections or operational frameworks. Changes to which debt is covered, as seen in this filing, can impact the specific terms and conditions that apply to those securities.
