State Street Corporation Prices Preferred Stock Offering

State Street Corporation ("State Street”) (NYSE: STT) today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of $500 million of depositary shares with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, each representing a 1/100^th interest in a share of its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series H. The offering is being conducted as a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Dividends on the Series H preferred stock will be payable on a non-cumulative basis semi-annually in arrears at a fixed rate of 5.625% to, but excluding, December 15, 2023. Thereafter, the Series H preferred stock will be callable and dividends will be payable quarterly at a floating rate equivalent to three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 2.539%. Dividend payments on the Series H preferred stock will occur only when, as and if declared by State Street’s board of directors. State Street may also redeem the Series H preferred stock upon the occurrence of a regulatory capital treatment event.

The offering is expected to close on September 27, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

State Street intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable for, and certain costs associated with, its previously announced planned acquisition of Charles River Systems, Inc. ("Charles River Development”), expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. Completion of this offering is not contingent upon the completion of the acquisition of Charles River Development. If the acquisition of Charles River Development is not completed, State Street will use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
