On October 17, 2012, the Registrant conducted a conference call and webcast with respect to results of operations for third quarter 2012 for The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. In conjunction with the conference call and webcast, the Registrant made available on its website, beginning on October 17, 2012, a Quarterly Earnings Review and Financial Trends information. The Quarterly Earnings Review is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and the Financial Trends information is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this report. Both exhibits are "furnished" pursuant to General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K and are not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not incorporated by reference into any filings the Registrant has made or may make under the Securities Act of 1933.

Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report contain information which may be considered to constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K. The Registrant's management believes that these measures are useful to the investment community in analyzing the financial results and trends of ongoing operations. Management believes that they facilitate comparisons with prior periods and reflect the principal basis on which management monitors financial performance. Management also believes this presentation allows investors to more appropriately evaluate the impact of revenues from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
