Summary

BB&T Corporation (TFC) filed an 8-K on September 27, 2004, reporting the successful completion of consent solicitations for its 6.50% Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 4.75% Subordinated Notes due 2012. The solicitation aimed to amend the terms of these notes, and sufficient consents were obtained from noteholders. This allowed BB&T and the Trustee, U.S. Bank National Association, to execute a Second Supplemental Indenture on September 24, 2004. The primary impact of this amendment is significant for BB&T's regulatory capital position. The 2011 Notes and 2012 Notes can now be included in the calculation of BB&T's Tier 2 capital and total regulatory capital for future filings with the Federal Reserve. This is a positive development as it enhances the company's reported capital ratios, which can be viewed favorably by investors and regulators.
