Material Event (Form 8-K)

On June 24, 2026, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (the "Company") announced its intention to increase its quarterly cash dividend on its common shares by 19% from $0.53 to $0.63 per share, commencing as early as the third quarter of 2026, subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

On June 24, 2026, the Federal Reserve released the results of its 2026 bank stress test. The Company's Stress Capital Buffer ("SCB") requirement has consistently remained at the 2.5% floor since the introduction of the SCB requirement in 2020. As the Federal Reserve announced on February 4, 2026, the current SCBs will continue to apply until 2027, when new requirements can be calculated based on models that take public feedback into consideration.

The Company continues to be authorized to repurchase common shares under its existing share repurchase program approved by the Board, as announced in April 2026. The repurchases of common stock may be executed through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and through derivative, accelerated share repurchase and other structured transactions. The timing, manner and amount of repurchases are subject to various factors, including the Company's capital position and prevailing market conditions.
