SUPERVISORY CAPITAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (“STRESS TESTS”)

On May 7, 2009, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced the results of the stress tests conducted by banking regulators under the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program with respect to the 19 largest bank holding companies. As a result of this test, the Federal Reserve concluded that PNC is currently well capitalized but that, in order to provide a greater cushion against the risk that economic conditions over the next two years are worse than currently anticipated, PNC needed to augment the composition of its capital by increasing the common shareholders’ equity component of Tier 1 capital by $600 million by November 9, 2009. This amount represents one-quarter of 1% of our risk-weighted assets as of March 31, 2009. PNC intends to satisfy this requirement through a combination of growth in retained earnings and the pursuit of other capital raising alternatives.
