Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly disclose the response from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to BB&T's (the predecessor to Truist) Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) capital plan.

CCAR stands for Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. It is an annual exercise conducted by the Federal Reserve to assess whether large financial institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and continue lending during times of severe stress.

The Federal Reserve's response to a CCAR plan can impact investors by influencing the company's ability to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A positive response generally suggests financial strength and the potential for capital distributions, while a negative response might lead to restrictions.
