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.

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.regulatory · block 3THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORPORATIONPDF pages 69–71

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.

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.
