QUANTUMONLINE.COM SECURITY DESCRIPTION:  KeyCorp Inc., 7.750% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference $100 per share, not redeemable at the issuer's option at any time, and with no stated maturity. Non-cumulative distributions of 7.75% ($7.75) per annum are paid quarterly on 3/15, 6/15, 9/15 & 12/15 to holders of record on the record date which is the last business day of the month prior to the payment date (NOTE: the ex-dividend date is at least 2 business days prior to the record date). The dividends are non-cumulative and if the board of directors does not declare a dividend or the company fails to pay a dividend declared by the board for any quarterly dividend period, the holder will not be entitled to receive any dividend for that quarterly period and the undeclared or unpaid dividend will not accumulate. Dividends paid by this preferred security are eligible for the preferential income tax rate of 15% to a maximum of 20% depending on the holder's tax bracket (and under IRS specified holding restrictions) and are also eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate holders (see page S-47 of the prospectus for further information). The preferred shares are convertible any time at the holder's option into 7.0922 common shares of KeyCorp Inc. (NYSE: KEY), an initial conversion price of $14.10 per common share. On or after 6/15/2013, if the price of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days, the company may, at their option, cause the preferred shares to be converted into common shares at the then prevailing conversion price. In regard to the payment of dividends and upon liquidation, the preferred shares rank equally with other preferreds and senior to the common shares of the company.
