STATE STREET CORPORATION

Annual Meeting of Shareholders - May 20, 2015

DIRECTION TO THE TRUSTEE

As a participant in the State Street Salary Savings Program, I hereby direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee, to vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 20, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or at any adjournment thereof, the allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the Salary Savings Program that I am entitled under that Program to direct, as indicated on the reverse side of this form.

Each of the matters to come before the meeting is described in the notice of, and proxy statement for, the meeting, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. If a matter arises at the meeting, or such other time which affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the trustee will follow the recommendation of State Street’s Board of Directors, unless the trustee determines that doing so would result in a breach of the trustee’s fiduciary duty. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the twelve director nominees and FOR Items 2 and 3. The shares represented by this form will be voted in accordance with the specifications made in this direction. To direct the trustee in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, just sign and date on the reverse side of this form; no boxes need to be checked. If no direction is given to the trustee with respect to the shares represented by this direction (by this Direction Form, the Internet or Telephone), the trustee will vote the participant’s allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the Salary Savings Program on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants.

You do not have to use this form if you have used the Internet or telephone to direct the trustee, unless you want to change your direction. To use this form, please check the appropriate boxes (or, to follow the recommendations of the Board of Directors, you may leave the boxes unchecked), sign, date and return this form promptly, using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
