Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On June 18, 2015, State Street Corporation announced that the enforcement staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has provided it with a “Wells” notice. The notice relates to a previously disclosed SEC investigation into our solicitation of asset servicing business for public retirement plans and, specifically, our relationships with particular clients in two states during a period ending in 2011. As previously reported, the investigation includes our use of consultants and lobbyists and, in at least one instance, political contributions by one of our consultants during and after a public bidding process. The Wells notice informs State Street that the SEC staff intends to ask the Commission for permission to bring a civil enforcement action that would allege violations of the securities laws (i.e., Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder). The issuance of a Wells notice provides State Street with the opportunity to make a submission to the Commission in response to the SEC staff’s position. State Street intends to submit such a response.
