The Bank of New York Mellon is Open for Business Complementary Strengths Yield Enhanced Value, Enable Global Growth for Clients Eric D. Kamback, Executive Vice President and Deputy Sector Head of The Bank of New York Mellon Treasury Services, is responsible for all strategic initiatives related to global payment, global trade, and cash management services including sales initiatives, client support, product management and product development. What is the significance of the merger between The Bank of New York Company, Inc. and Mellon Financial Corporation for the Treasury Services business? The combined companies form a global franchise with complementary strengths. Mellon brings its market leading U.S. cash management solutions and resources to which The Bank of New York adds its international infrastructure and expertise in global payments and trade finance. This tremendous synergy enables the new company s Treasury Services sector to concentrate on providing a complete suite of global working capital solutions to our clients. Our comprehensive capabilities also provide a platform from which we can continue to innovate with new product development. Eric discusses the strategic value of The Bank of New York Mellon, and the benefits that the newly merged franchise brings to its corporate and financial institution clients worldwide. How do your clients benefit from the merger? Under continued cost pressure, clients wish to leverage their relationship with a smaller group of banking partners that can serve them domestically and internationally. They want a trusted provider that can help them navigate the complex global banking environment mitigate risks and address regulatory requirements while minimizing fees, increasing efficiency, enhancing service quality, and optimizing working capital. The complementary strengths of The Bank of New York Mellon s legacy companies enable us to become a full solutions provider to our clients. Not only do we participate in the global banking arena, but through our active involvement in organizations such as SWIFT and NACHA, we represent the needs of our clients in industry efforts to shape the global payments landscape. Our business leaders are engaged in leading industry dialogue at the country, regional, and global levels. Given this combined strength, what differentiates The Bank of New York Treasury Services from its global bank competitors? Treasury Services is a core business for The Bank of New York Mellon. For many of our competitors, treasury services play a small role in their overall strategy. Our senior management understands that, to be successful, we must continually invest in the business. These investments go beyond technology and include building deep levels of expertise within the industry and processes for collaboration with clients. Today, our company serves 80 percent of the Fortune 500 and 70 percent of the Global 500. But our commitment to the industry goes well beyond. A key component of our strategy is to private label our capabilities to enable other financial institutions to deliver treasury services to their business customers. This evidences our deep 2

commitment to the industry to operational excellence and service quality, technology investment, and the scale required for providing efficient and cost-effective solutions. Our corporate clients directly benefit from this strategy. Another differentiator is the deep relationships that we ve built with our correspondent banking network. When we work with other financial institutions globally, we don t compete with them. We leverage this strength in facilitating global business for our clients. We bring a high level of expertise and collaboration across our network to getting the transaction done. Our service quality is second to none. What are the areas of strategic focus within treasury services for the newly combined firm? We are strategically focused on ensuring that the clients from our respective legacy organizations immediately benefit from our expanded, comprehensive product capabilities. And we will continue to focus on enhancing our capabilities across the spectrum of working capital solutions as we move ahead. And we are fully committed to being number one in service quality in the industry. A Global Leader Our track record of proven performance underscores our commitment to delivering superior solutions that support our corporate clients as they expand globally.

What kinds of solutions and expertise are they looking for from their banking partners? Companies want straight-through processing (STP) for all of their transactions not just the domestic ones. Within an increasingly complex global marketplace, our clients want us to handle the exception items those non-stp items that require manual intervention and make the process transparent to them. They seek simplified, integrated solutions that eliminate the borders between them and their vendors, customers, and employees. The Bank of New York Mellon is creating a single integrated channel for transaction initiation that eliminates exception processing from the client perspective. We call this buffeting; which means that we absorb any process differences, using technology to create a seamless transaction flow for our clients. How do the company s treasury services capabilities and global infrastructure support clients as they expand globally? It should be as easy for clients to deal with their business partners globally as it is domestically. Clients should not have to pause to consider whether they would receive better service or prices by working directly with an overseas bank. Within the Treasury Services line of business, we have four areas of strategic focus: Cash and Accounts Payable Services, Liquidity Services, Trade Finance, and Global Payments. We draw from across these product groups to craft client-focused solutions within an increasingly global operating environment. What are you hearing from clients about their key objectives and challenges as they expand globally? Our global infrastructure emphasizes strong relationships with local correspondent banks so that we can flawlessly execute transactions and deliver the related information flows. This enables our clients to efficiently work with their global business partners. How will this merger integration differ for clients from the typical experience? Typically in a merger environment, consolidation absorbs a high level of resources, and, to a large extent, business goes on hold, and clients suffer. This merger is different. The Bank of New York Mellon is open for business. We are already building forward momentum based on the joint strengths of our heritage organizations. We are leveraging our complementary capabilities to benefit our clients. We continue to aggressively pursue product development. The combined strengths of our legacy companies offer a full set of treasury services and a platform from which to drive innovation. 3
