ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) was held on April 14, 2015. At the Annual Meeting, each nominee for director was elected by a majority of votes cast. Management proposals 2 and 3 were approved. Each of the proposals is described in detail in BNY Mellon’s definitive proxy statement dated March 13, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Abstentions and broker non-votes were counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum was present, but were not treated as votes cast either for or against any proposal or the election of any director. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes were not counted in determining the number of votes required for approval or election.

The results are as follows:

 

1. The election of 14 directors for a term expiring at the end of the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (each nominee elected by a majority of votes cast):
