13. Provide a brief summary of details related to the action status and (or) disposition and include relevant terms, conditions and dates (your response

THIS ACTION ARISES OUT OF THE SEC'S ASSERTION THAT BNY MELLON FAILED TO PROPERLY INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY $14 BILLION OF CERTAIN
ASSETS OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (THE "VIES") IN ITS CALCULATION OF RISK-BASED REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS PRESENTED IN ANNUAL AND
QUARTERLY REPORTS FILED WITH THE SEC. BEGINNING IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2010, THE SEC FOUND THAT BNY MELLON WAS REQUIRED TO
CONSOLIDATE THE ACCOUNTS OF CERTAIN VIES - WHICH TOOK THE FORM OF COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATIONS ("CLOS") - ONTO ITS BALANCE
SHEET PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD IN JUNE 2009 (NOW CODIFIED IN ASC 810).
AS A RESULT OF ASC 810, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT RISK-BASED CAPITAL RULES REQUIRED BNY MELLON TO INCLUDE THE ASSETS OF THESE VIES IN
ITS RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING ITS REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS. AS THE SEC ORDER RELATES, BNY MELLON,
HOWEVER, DEVIATED FROM THE REGULATORY CAPITAL RULES WITHOUT THE NECESSARY AUTHORIZATION FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD AND
EXCLUDED THESE ASSETS FROM ITS REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS AFTER MAKING A DETERMINATION THAT THE VIES DID NOT POSE A RISK TO THE
FIRM. THE SEC FOUND THAT (1) BNY MELLON'S EXCLUSION OF THE VIES CAUSED THE FIRM TO MISREPORT ITS RISK-BASED REGULATORY CAPITAL

RATIOS IN EACH OF ITS QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL REPORTS FROM THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2010 THROUGH THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2014, (2)
THROUGHOUT THIS TIME PERIOD, BNY MELLON FAILED TO MAKE AND KEEP ACCURATE BOOKS AND RECORDS WITH RESPECT TO ITS RISK-WEIGHTED
ASSETS AND REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS, AND (3) BNY MELLON ALSO FAILED TO DEVISE AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF INTERNAL REGULATORY
ACCOUNTING CONTROLS SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE REASONABLE ASSURANCES THAT ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED IN CONFORMITY
WITH APPLICABLE CRITERIA. ON JANUARY 12, 2017, THE SEC ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD ENTERED INTO AN ADMINISTRATIVE SETTLEMENT ON A
NEITHER-ADMIT-NOR-DENY BASIS WITH BNY MELLON IN WHICH BNY MELLON AGREED TO PAY $6.6 MILLION.

THIS ACTION ARISES OUT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE'S ASSERTION THAT BNY MELLON FAILED TO PROPERLY INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY $14 BILLION OF
CERTAIN ASSETS OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (THE "VIES") IN ITS CALCULATION OF ITS RISK-BASED REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS. BEGINNING IN
THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2010, THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOUND THAT BNY MELLON ACCOUNTED FOR THESE VIE ASSETS IN ITS "TRADING BOOK,"
WHEREIN IT ASSIGNED THE ASSETS A ZERO-RISK WEIGHTING UNDER A VALUE-AT-RISK MODEL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BNY MELLON'S REGULATORY
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE VIE ASSETS WAS IMPROPER UNDER THEN-APPLICABLE BASEL I REGULATORY RISK CAPITAL RULES. AS THE FEDERAL
RESERVE CONSENT ORDER RELATES, BNY MELLON DEVIATED FROM THE REGULATORY CAPITAL RULES WITHOUT THE NECESSARY AUTHORIZATION FROM
THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND EXCLUDED THESE ASSETS FROM ITS REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS FOR NEARLY 14 QUARTERS, RESULTING IN BNY MELLON

UNDERSTATING ITS RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS AND OVERSTATING ITS RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS. THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOUND THAT THIS CONDUCT
REPRESENTS OR RESULTED IN UNSAFE OR UNSOUND PRACTICES, AND A VIOLATION OF REGULATION Y OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS (12 C.F.R. §
225). ON JUNE 26, 2017, THE FEDERAL RESERVE ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD ASSESSED BNY MELLON A CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $3
MILLION.

TWO INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND ONE PLACING BY UK ISSUERS BY DISCLOSING THE PRICE IT INTENDED TO PAY, OR ACCEPTING SUCH
INFORMATION, OR BOTH, SHORTLY BEFORE THE SHARE PRICES WERE SET. THE FCA FOUND THAT PARTS OF THIS CONDUCT VIOLATED THE UK
COMPETITION ACT 1998. NIM SELF-REPORTED THIS MATTER TO THE FCA FOLLOWING IDENTIFICATION OF THE ISSUE. THE FORMER EMPLOYEE'S
ACTIONS CONTRAVENED NIM'S CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICAL STANDARDS, AND THE EMPLOYEE HAS SINCE BEEN DISMISSED. THE BANK OF NEW
YORK MELLON CORPORATION ("BNYM") WAS FOUND JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE BY REASON OF BEING NIM'S ULTIMATE PARENT COMPANY.
NEITHER BNYM NOR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES WAS INVOLVED IN ANY ASPECT OF THE RELEVANT CONDUCT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ALLEGATION NOR
