(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of 2047 Debentures validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase.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Includes the Early Tender Payment for 2047 Debentures validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Date (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase.

Holders of 2047 Debentures validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, which has now passed, are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below), which includes an early tender payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of 2047 Debentures tendered by such holders and accepted for purchase by the Bank (the “Early Tender Payment”). Accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date will be paid in cash on all validly tendered 2047 Debentures accepted and purchased by the Bank in the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer is scheduled to 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. 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 including termination of State Street’s Replacement Capital Covenant (as described below) are satisfied.

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. Holders of 2047 Debentures who validly tender their 2047 Debentures after the Early Tender Deadline, which has now passed, but prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive only the Tender Offer Consideration and not the Early Tender Payment.

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 State Street’s previously announced partial redemption of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series A, due May 15, 2028 on November 20, 2019 (the “Redemption”). 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.
