ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 23, 2015, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of BB&T Corporation (“BB&T” or the “Company”) adopted a Merger Completion Incentive Program (the “Incentive Program”) in regards to BB&T’s pending merger with Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. (“Susquehanna”). Under the Incentive Program, an incentive award may be paid upon the operational conversion of Susquehanna Bank, Susquehanna’s primary banking subsidiary, whereby the computer systems of Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T’s primary banking subsidiary, replace Susquehanna Bank’s computer systems as the current and primary systems of record for the transactional and accounting data of Susquehanna Bank (the “Conversion”). The Conversion is expected to occur at least several months following the closing of the merger of Susquehanna with and into BB&T and Incentive Program awards are wholly conditioned upon the Conversion occurring before June 23, 2016. The occurrence of the Conversion shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and when making this determination the Compensation Committee may reduce Incentive Program awards, including to zero, based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of BB&T’s then current performance.

Incentive Program awards are being made available to each member of BB&T’s Executive Management group, which is the Company’s top level of management, and includes Kelly S. King, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and each of the “Named Executive Officers” included in the Summary Compensation Table of BB&T’s Proxy Statement for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The “Eligible Amount” listed in the table below is the maximum amount that may be awarded to the Named Executive Officer under the Incentive Program.

Awards under the Incentive Program may be paid in cash, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or a combination thereof, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Any portion of an award paid in RSUs will be awarded in accordance with the BB&T Corporation 2012 Incentive Plan.
