Strong capital level allows for significant capital returns
Note(s)
1.
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio (Basel III fully phased-in) is calculated using Basel III fully phased-in common equity tier 1 capital, a non-GAAP measure.  The Company
believes that the common equity tier 1 capital ratio based on fully phased-in Basel III rules is an important complement to the existing capital ratios and for comparability to
other financial institutions.  For the corresponding reconciliation of common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets calculated under fully phased-in Basel III rules to
common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets calculated under Basel III transition rules, see appendix

2014, September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014
