Section 1: Public SectionIntroductionThis Public Section provides an overview of the overall resolution strategy for The Bank of New YorkMellon Corporation and its material entities, including its principal bank subsidiary, The Bank of NewYork Mellon. References to “our,” “we,” “us,” and “BNY Mellon,” refer to The Bank of New York MellonCorporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, while references to the “Parent” refer solely to The Bankof New York Mellon Corporation, the parent company.Title I, Section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “DoddFrank Act”) and implementing regulations issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the“FDIC”) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) require bankholding companies with assets of 50 billion or more, such as the Parent, to submit periodically to theFederal Reserve, the FDIC and the Financial Stability Oversight Council a plan for resolution in the eventof material distress or failure of the bank holding company. The FDIC has also issued a final rule thatrequires insured depository institutions with assets of 50 billion or more, such as The Bank of New YorkMellon, to submit periodically to the FDIC a plan for resolution in the event of failure under the FederalDeposit Insurance Act (the “FDI Act”). Accordingly, we have developed a resolution plan in conformitywith both rules (the “Resolution Plan”), including this Public Section which contains the informationrequired by the regulators to be made available publicly.BNY Mellon endorses the concept of resolution planning as a key element of risk management toprotect the soundness of the global financial system. We believe no firm should be “too big to fail” andthat, regardless of size, financial institutions should be able to be resolved without taxpayer or U.S.government support.BNY Mellon’s business model is primarily fee-based with no substantial exposure to credit risk. A largepercentage of our revenue—more than the median revenue of our peers—comes from recurring fees.This helps us maintain a strong, highly liquid balance sheet with a solid capital position and strong creditratings.In the unlikely event a resolution of BNY Mellon were necessary, there are several factors thatcontribute to the resolvability of BNY Mellon under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other applicableinsolvency regimes, including the facts that (i) the bulk of BNY Mellon’s core business lines and criticaloperations are conducted in The Bank of New York Mellon, which would allow the FDIC to use itstraditional resolution powers in receivership under the FDI Act to facilitate the orderly disposition orwind down of The Bank of New York Mellon, (ii) the core business lines and critical operationsconducted through non-bank entities of BNY Mellon are largely self-contained within separate legalentities, allowing for their rapid divestiture or orderly wind-down, if necessary, under the U.S.Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) our highly liquid balance sheet would allow us to withstand deposit run-offwithout systemic impact.3

The Resolution Plan sets out a detailed description of the resolution options for the Parent and each ofits material entities, including The Bank of New York Mellon, with a focus on ensuring their orderlyresolution in a manner that preserves value, ensures continuity of services, and avoids systemic risk tothe U.S. financial system. In each of the resolution strategies, depositors would have timely access totheir insured deposits and there would be no cost to the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund.While BNY Mellon could similarly be resolved without systemic impact under the Orderly LiquidationAuthority of Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act, pursuant to which the FDIC is granted the power andauthority to resolve systemically important financial institutions in a manner analogous to the resolutionof failed insured depository institutions under the FDI Act, the Dodd-Frank Act implementing regulationsspecifically require the Resolution Plan to provide a strategic analysis of resolvability under the U.S.Bankruptcy Code and certain other applicable insolvency regimes. Accordingly, the Orderly LiquidationAuthority is outside the scope of the Resolution Plan.The information contained in the Resolution Plan, including this Public Section, has been prepared inaccordance with applicable regulatory requirements and guidance. Any differences in the presentation ofinformation concerning our businesses and operations contained herein relative to how BNY Mellonpresents such information for other purposes is solely due to our efforts to comply with the rulesgoverning the submission of resolution plans. The information presented herein, including thedesignation of “material entities” and “core business lines”, does not, in any way, reflect changes to ourorganizational structure, business practices or strategy.4
