The main purpose of this 8-K filing was to report the completion of PNC's public offering and sale of $575 million in Floating Rate Senior Notes due August 7, 2018, and to file the related legal and underwriting agreements as exhibits.

What are the terms of the Floating Rate Senior Notes issued?

The Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $575 million and mature on August 7, 2018. They are floating rate notes, meaning their interest payments will adjust based on a benchmark interest rate.

Does this issuance represent new debt for PNC?

Yes, this filing confirms the completion of a new debt issuance. It indicates PNC is raising capital through the debt markets, which is a common practice for financial institutions to manage their balance sheet and fund operations.

What is the significance of the 'Floating Rate' nature of these notes?

The 'Floating Rate' designation means the interest rate paid on these notes is not fixed. It is typically tied to a benchmark rate like LIBOR (at the time) plus a spread. This can be beneficial for the issuer if interest rates fall and can help manage interest expense in a rising rate environment compared to fixed-rate debt.
