Item 8.01. Other Events

State Street Corporation (“State Street”) has amended its Senior Debt Indenture dated October 31, 2014 (the “Senior Indenture”), between State Street and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”) under which it issues senior debt securities from time to time. These amendments, among other things:

 

    limit the events of default under the senior debt securities and permit acceleration of amounts due under the senior debt securities to (i) specified defaults in the payment of principal, premium, sinking fund payments and interest on the senior debt securities that continue for a 30 day grace period and (ii) certain insolvency events involving State Street;

 

    specifically permit transfers of State Street’s assets substantially as an entirety to one or more of its subsidiaries without restriction; and

 

    amend the covenant limiting dispositions and issuances of voting stock of State Street’s principal banking subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), to permit transfers of such voting stock to one or more U.S. or foreign subsidiaries of State Street, so long as after giving effect to any such disposition or issuance State Street will own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, at least 80% of the voting stock of the Bank.

These changes will only apply to senior debt securities that State Street issues on or after May 8, 2017.

The changes referenced above are set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture dated May 8, 2017, between State Street and the Trustee, which amends and supplements the Senior Indenture.
