Frequently Asked Questions

The amended and restated trust agreements are to continue the existence of Schwab Capital Trust I, Schwab Capital Trust II, and Schwab Capital Trust III. These trusts were originally set up in 2004 to facilitate the issuance and sale of trust securities by the Company.

These are existing trusts (established in 2004) for which the trust agreements have been amended and restated. This means their terms are being modified or reaffirmed, rather than creating entirely new entities.

This 8-K filing itself does not provide specific details on the financial impact. However, the amendment and restatement suggest that Schwab is maintaining or adjusting its existing capital-raising structures through these trusts. Investors would need to review the actual amended trust agreements to understand any specific financial implications or changes in terms.

This filing is made under Item 8.01 (Other Events) of Form 8-K because the amendment and restatement of these trust agreements are considered significant events for the company's ongoing financial operations and capital structure, which require public disclosure.
