QUANTUMONLINE.COM SECURITY DESCRIPTION: State Street Corp., 5.35% depositary shares, each representing a 1/4000th interest in a share of the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G, liquidation preference $25 per depositary share, redeemable at the issuer's option on or after 3/15/2026 at $25 per depositary share plus declared and unpaid dividends, and with no stated maturity. Fixed Non-Cumulative distributions of 5.35% per annum ($1.3375 per annum or $0.334375 per quarter) will be paid quarterly on 3/15, 6/15, 9/15 & 12/15 through 3/15/2026 to holders of record on the record date that will be the 15th calendar day prior to the payment date or such other date as determined the board (NOTE: the ex-dividend date is one business day prior to the record date). On and after 3/15/2026 distributions will be paid at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.709%. 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 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-35 of the prospectus for further information).
This security is possibly subject to an early call as a result of the occurrence of a regulatory capital treatment event which no longer allows the company to include the funds originating from this security as Tier 1 capital on their balance sheet (see the prospectus for further information).
This security was rated as Baa1 by Moody’s and BBB by S&P at the date of its IPO. In regard to the payment of dividends and upon liquidation, the preferred shares rank junior to the company's senior debt, equally with other preferreds of the company, and senior to the common shares of the company.
