Q: How will the number of votes for each Public Preferred Depositary Share be determined?

A: Each Series F, Series AA and Series T Public Preferred Depositary Share represents a 1/1,000th fractional interest in a share of Series F, Series AA or Series T Public Preferred Stock and each Series E Public Preferred Depositary Share represents a 1/25th fractional interest in a share of Series E Public Preferred Stock. Accordingly, when voting on the Dividend Blocker Amendment, the Retirement Amendment and the Authorized Preferred Stock Increase, the holder of each Series F, Series AA and Series T Public Preferred Depositary Share is entitled to 1/1,000th of a vote per Public Preferred Depositary Share held as of the Record Date and the holder of each Series E Public Preferred Depositary Share is entitled to 1/25th of a vote per Series E Public Preferred Depositary Share held as of the Record Date. When voting on the Director Amendment, the holder of each Series F and Series AA Public Preferred Depositary Share is entitled to 25 votes per Public Preferred Depositary Share held as of the Record Date, the holder of each Series E Public Preferred Depositary Share is entitled to 1,000 votes per Public Preferred Depositary Share held as of the Record Date, and the holder of each Series T Public Preferred Depositary Share is entitled to 50 votes per Public Preferred Depositary Share held as of the Record Date. Fractional votes of each Public Preferred Depositary Share on each matter will be aggregated with the fractional votes of other Public Preferred Depositary Shares submitting the same Voting Instructions on that matter, and The Bank of New York Mellon (BONY) will grant or withhold a proxy to execute a written consent or abstain on each matter for the number of whole shares resulting from such aggregation in accordance with the Voting Instructions.
