(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of 2047 Debentures validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase. Excludes accrued and unpaid interest, which will be paid on 2047 Debentures accepted for purchase as described herein.

(2) Includes the Early Tender Payment for 2047 Debentures validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Date (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase.

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated October 21, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 pm, New York City time, on November 20, 2019, or any other date and time to which the Bank extends the Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), unless the Tender Offer is earlier terminated. Holders of 2047 Debentures that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 1, 2019 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”), will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below), which is inclusive of the cash amount set forth in the above table under the heading “Early Tender Payment” (the “Early Tender Payment”). Holders of 2047 Debentures who validly tender their 2047 Debentures after the Early Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below) and not the Early Tender Payment.

All holders of 2047 Debentures accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on 2047 Debentures validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the settlement date for the 2047 Debentures purchased in the Tender Offer.

The consideration (the “Total Consideration”) offered per $1,000 principal amount of 2047 Debentures validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be as specified in the table above. The “Tender Offer Consideration” is equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment.

The Tender Offer will expire on the Expiration Date. The settlement date for the 2047 Debentures that are validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date is expected to be November 22, 2019, the second business day following the Expiration Date, assuming the conditions to the satisfaction of the Tender Offer are satisfied.

2047 Debentures that are validly tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 1, 2019 (unless extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). After such time 2047 Debentures may not be withdrawn unless the Bank extends the Withdrawal Deadline.

The Bank’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the 2047 Debentures validly tendered in the Tender Offer is not subject to any minimum tender condition but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including termination of State Street’s Replacement Capital Covenant dated April 30, 2007 and amended May 13, 2016, which is expected to occur following the settlement of the Redemption (as defined below). Following the Tender Offer, the Bank reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offer; (ii) extend or terminate the Tender Offer; or (iii) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.

State Street also announced today that it will redeem (the “Redemption”) $50,100,000 of its $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series A, due May 15, 2028 (the “2028 Debentures”), at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The redemption date for the 2028 Debentures will be November 20, 2019.
