TABLE OF CONTENTS

About State Street
State Street is a financial holding company organized in 1969 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. State Street provides financial and managerial support to our legal and operating subsidiaries. Through our subsidiaries, including our principal banking subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company, we provide a broad range of financial products and services to institutional investors worldwide. We refer to State Street Bank and Trust Company as State Street Bank or the Bank.
As of December 31, 2024, on a consolidated basis we had total assets of $353.24 billion, total deposits of $261.92 billion, total shareholders’ equity of $25.33 billion and approximately 53,000 employees. We operate in more than 100 geographic markets worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
We are a leader in providing financial services and products to meet the needs of institutional investors worldwide, with $46.56 trillion of assets under custody and/or administration and $4.72 trillion of assets under management as of December 31, 2024. We believe we are an essential partner to institutional investors and operate with the purpose of helping to create better outcomes for the world’s investors and the people they serve. Our clients—asset managers and owners, insurance companies, wealth managers, official institutions and central banks—rely on us to deliver solutions that support their goals across the investment life cycle.
We entered 2024 with a clear set of strategic priorities aimed at driving revenue growth, improving our sales performance, strengthening our market position and enhancing our operating model. We executed well against our objectives, enabling us to serve our clients and deliver strong financial performance and continued business momentum for our shareholders. These results included both positive fee and total operating leverage, pre-tax margin expansion and higher earnings growth, illustrating the power of our franchise and the effectiveness of our strategy. Regarding our financial highlights, in 2024 we demonstrated a notably improved revenue performance. Full-year fee and total revenue increased 7% and 9%, respectively, compared to 2023. Year-over-year, each income statement revenue line contributed positively, including double-digit growth in management fees, foreign exchange (FX) trading services and front office software and data revenues, while we also delivered a second consecutive year of record net interest income (NII). Our strong balance sheet position enabled us to return $2.2 billion of capital to shareholders in 2024, including common share repurchases and a 10% increase in our quarterly common dividend per share beginning in July 2024. Finally, 2024 was also an important year for our transformation. We made a number of key investments in operational simplification, automation and technology modernization. In summary, good execution against a clear set of strategic priorities enabled us to support our clients better and deliver strong financial results in 2024. Our strategic actions have positioned State Street to compete better and win, as evidenced by the business momentum we generated in 2024.
The financial measures used in our executive compensation programs are linked to the below financial results, which are presented on a non-GAAP basis, unless otherwise noted. See footnote (1) to the below table. Additional performance indicators are presented in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—Corporate Performance Summary.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Overview of 2024 Executive Compensation Program
Compensation Philosophy
Our executive compensation program is designed to drive Company and individual performance and to align the pay ultimately received by each executive with the performance experienced by our shareholders over time by placing a strong emphasis on long-term equity-based vehicles, including performance-based equity. Our executive compensation philosophy is summarized in the following principles:
attract, retain and motivate our executives and drive strong leadership behaviors
reward our executives for meeting or exceeding Company and individual performance objectives
drive long-term shareholder value and align pay with performance results experienced by our shareholders
achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values
For each of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) identified in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Human Resources Committee (HRC) determines the appropriate level of total compensation for the year. The HRC evaluates base salary and target incentive compensation levels at least annually. The targets are based on each executive’s role, responsibilities and performance trend, as well as competitive and market factors and internal equity.
Sound Compensation and Corporate Governance Practices
Our NEO compensation practices are designed to support good governance and mitigate against excessive risk-taking. We regularly review and refine our corporate governance practices considering several factors, including feedback from ongoing shareholder engagement.
What We Do
Long-term performance-based equity awards in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs)
Significant deferred equity-based incentive compensation
Active engagement with shareholders on compensation, corporate governance and other issues
Close interaction between the HRC and the Board’s Risk Committee (RC) and Examining and Audit Committee (E&A)
Independent compensation consultant
Clawback and forfeiture provisions to recoup compensation following financial restatements and specified misconduct or other actions
“Double-trigger” change-of-control required for deferred incentive compensation acceleration and cash payments
Stock ownership policy, including holding requirements for NEOs who are below full ownership guidelines
Non-competition and other restrictive covenants
Annual review of incentive compensation design for alignment with risk management principles
What We Do Not Do
No option repricing
No tax gross-up on perquisites (1)
No multi-year guaranteed incentive awards
No “single-trigger” change-of-control vesting or cash payments
No change-of-control excise tax gross-up
No short selling, options trading, hedging, pledging or speculative transactions in State Street securities
(1)
Excluding (a) a small meal allowance provided as a customary benefit to all German employees, including Mr. Ambrosius, and (b) certain international assignments and relocation benefits.
More information about executive compensation at State Street is described under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” ​​

State Street — 2025 Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS


To my fellow shareholders:

As State Street’s independent Lead Director, and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I look forward to our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

Inspired and guided by State Street’s purpose to help create better outcomes for the world’s investors and the people they serve, the Board engages extensively with management on its vision to be the leading partner and provider to asset managers, asset owners and wealth managers globally with high quality servicing, analytics, financing, liquidity and investment solutions.

2024 was a year of profitable growth for State Street, with strong progress against our strategic priorities to position the Company for continued success. The Board closely monitored the execution of the strategy with a focus on long-term growth, maintaining and advancing our products and services offering innovations and differentiation, and providing oversight of our risk posture, appetite and framework. I want to highlight two governance topics that promote the Board’s oversight role:

Board Composition : As a component of good governance practices, the Board annually evaluates its composition and effectiveness. Broad and diverse viewpoints, deep experience and fresh perspectives strengthen the composition and engagement of a board of directors, which in turn strengthens the effectiveness of a board. As State Street evolves, so does the Board. In 2024, consistent with our annual practice, we assessed the director qualifications, attributes, skillsets and experiences that best align with State Street’s long-term strategy and objectives. In addition, we leveraged director responses to the Board’s performance review and inputs from my individual 1:1 meetings with each director as the foundation for our ongoing Board composition planning and refreshment, as well as our evaluation of Board governance.

As a result of our annual assessment process, in November 2024, the Board welcomed a new director, Patricia Halliday. Patricia brings three decades of financial services experience representing various geographic and market sectors. Her deep risk management experience and market insights are already informing Board discussions.

I and the entire Board also extend our deep appreciation for two directors retiring this May from service to the Board. The Board has benefited greatly from Greg Summe’s practical counsel, balanced perspective and institutional insights through various notable market events and strategic opportunities during his 24-year tenure on the Board. We are also grateful to Patrick de Saint-Aignan for his 16 years of service, during which he shared his extensive financial markets, risk management and international experience and helped to contextualize our business within an evolving industry and regulatory environment.

The Board believes that the 11 director nominees presented for election at the annual meeting represent a deeply experienced group of leaders, eager to contribute their diverse experiences and perspectives through active participation and oversight in meetings and beyond the Boardroom to serve in the best interests of State Street and its shareholders.

Board Leadership : State Street employs a robust lead director board governance model. It has been my privilege to evolve and progress the role of Lead Director over the past six years. In this role, I serve our shareholders, leading both the CEO and the independent directors and providing an active and present voice representing the independent directors of the Board. State Street has a majority of independent directors (10 out of 11 nominated for election at the annual meeting) who rigorously oversee management’s execution of the Company’s business and strategic priorities. As context for our Board’s oversight obligation, I want to detail how State Street’s Board leadership structure — involving a separate Chair and Lead Director — strengthens effective Board governance and decision-making. The role of the Lead Director at State Street is comprehensive and not limited. It begins with establishing the agenda with the Chair. It includes presiding over meetings and communications with management and involves regular and active collaboration with the CEO both when the Board is in session and also, importantly, regularly during the periods between Board meetings. This relationship allows communication with the CEO to be seamless and natural, further facilitating free flows of information, ideas, challenge and other perspectives between the CEO and Lead Director and also with the entire Board on significant matters relating to business initiatives, regulation and strategic priorities. This dynamic also enhances my engagements with other members of executive management, our regulators, employees and other stakeholders, which are an additional critical element of my role. In 2024, I attended every meeting of the Board and substantially all of its committee meetings (State Street has six standing committees), maintaining a clear, visible and independent leadership presence and providing valuable committee overlap to enable optimal agenda setting and coordination, insight and consistency across all committees. This participation strengthened the Board’s oversight and leadership and promoted open and candid engagement and contributions from all Board members enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of the strategy and other matters across all meetings of the Board and its committees. The informed experience I gain from these activities

assists me when I direct Board sessions consisting of only the independent directors and also the Board’s annual comprehensive performance evaluation of the CEO. The Board appreciates the flexibility of choice to tailor its leadership structure in a manner most effective for State Street and its shareholders.

Board and leadership renewal also are key requirements of an effective board and lead director. It has been a great honor and privilege to have served as Lead Director of State Street and to have had the opportunity to further develop and deepen this important role. Now, after six years as Lead Director, I believe the time has come to refresh leadership and pass the role to another Director. The Board has appointed and voted a new Lead Director, Sara Mathew, subject to Sara’s re-election by the shareholders at the upcoming annual meeting. Sara has served as a director for State Street since 2018, providing the Board with deep expertise in corporate finance, technology, corporate strategy and operations. Sara’s distinct qualifications and robust board leadership perspective are further complemented by her current and former service on other public company boards in the roles of independent director, committee chair and non-executive chair. She has served as the Chair of our Human Resources Committee and a member of our Board Executive Committee since 2020 and on our Examining and Audit Committee since 2022, with prior memberships on our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Risk Committee. I am confident that Sara will continue the highly active and engaged governance practices embodied in the Lead Director role and that she will continue its evolution and growth.

I want to thank you for your continued support and investment in State Street. The Board looks forward to continuing its important mission on your behalf.
Sincerely,

State Street — 2025 Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement

Corporate Governance at State Street
Shareholder Engagement and Communications
We believe that regular engagement with our shareholders is an important component of our corporate governance program and is additive to the ongoing dialogue, conferences and meetings that our Investor Relations team and senior management hold with analysts and institutional investors throughout the year. Our shareholder engagement program provides management and the Board with valuable insights not only on corporate governance and executive compensation, but also with perspectives on our corporate strategy, performance and goals. Our shareholders also help to provide additional information regarding emerging trends that may impact State Street.
Our shareholder engagement process provides a recurring opportunity to receive feedback and to share updates throughout the year. State Street generally initiates engagement by requesting to meet and connect with the shareholder. Many shareholders, based on prior engagement, our public disclosures or other factors, elect to meet with us less frequently or not at all. If a shareholder desires to meet with us, meetings are led by a cross-functional team of senior leaders in Human Resources, Investor Relations, Sustainability and Impact and Legal. An independent director participates in these meetings from time to time. The Human Resources and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board receive updates on the shareholder meetings at least twice per year and consider shareholder feedback in their decision-making. Other committees receive updates, as appropriate.
In 2024, our meetings with shareholders included discussion of a range of topics such as our executive compensation program design, climate and sustainability programs, human capital-related initiatives, corporate strategy and business performance, corporate governance practices and other sustainability topics.

2024 Shareholder Engagement Snapshot
During 2024, we initiated outreach to our shareholders in both the Spring and Fall. For the Spring outreach, just prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, most of those shareholders confirmed that a meeting was not then necessary. In the Fall, we contacted shareholders representing approximately 57% of shares outstanding and met with shareholders representing approximately 15% of shares outstanding at the time. The Chair of our Human Resources Committee participated in select engagements, and shareholder feedback from all engagements was relayed directly to the Human Resources Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Governance at State Street
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Independence
The Board, in its role of overseeing the conduct of our business, is guided by our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Among other things, the Corporate Governance Guidelines describe the role of the Board, its responsibilities and functions, the director qualification and selection process and the role of the Lead Director. Each year, the Board reviews the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and makes updates, as appropriate.
The Corporate Governance Guidelines contain categorical standards for determining director independence under New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards. In general, a director would not be independent under those standards if the director (and in certain circumstances, a member of the director’s immediate family) has, or in the past three years had, specified relationships or affiliations with State Street, its external or internal auditors or other companies that do business with State Street (including employment by State Street, receipt of a specified level of direct compensation from State Street—other than director fees—and compensation committee interlocks). The categorical standards also provide specified relationships that, by themselves, would not impair independence. The portion of the Corporate Governance Guidelines addressing director independence is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.
The full Corporate Governance Guidelines are available under the “Corporate Governance” section in the “Investors” portion of our website at www.statestreet.com . In addition to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters for each principal standing committee of the Board are available in the same location on our website.
Independent Director Governance
The independent directors meet in an executive session presided by the independent Lead Director at every regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and otherwise as needed
The meetings of the independent directors promote additional opportunities, outside the presence of management, for the directors to engage together in discussion. The regularity of these meetings fosters continuity for these discussions and allows for a greater depth and scope to the matters discussed
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence in early 2025. State Street, as a global financial institution and one of the largest providers of financial services to institutional investors, conducts business with many organizations throughout the world. Our directors or their immediate family members may have relationships or affiliations with some of these organizations. As provided in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the purpose of the director independence review is to determine whether any relationship or transaction is inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. The Board, with the benefit of this review and a recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determined that all of our directors, other than Mr. O’Hanley (our CEO), meet the categorical standards for independence under the Corporate Governance Guidelines, have no material relationship with State Street (other than the role of director) and satisfy the qualifications for independence under the NYSE’s listing standards.
In making the independence determinations in 2025, the Board considered that the below identified individuals, or their respective family members, have the following relationships or arrangements that are deemed to be immaterial under the categorical standards for independence included in the Corporate Governance Guidelines:
commercial or charitable relationships with an entity for which the State Street director or family member serves as a non-management director, and with respect to which the director was uninvolved in negotiating such relationship (Messrs. Freda, Meaney, Portalatin, Rhea and Summe)
commercial relationships with an entity for which the State Street director or family member serves as an employee, consultant or executive officer where the director does not receive any special benefits from the transaction and the annual payments to or from the entity are equal to or less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross annual revenues of the other entity during the most recent completed fiscal year (Messrs. Freda, Meaney, Portalatin and Rhea and Mses. DeMaio and Halliday)
In 2024, none of these commercial or charitable relationships with affiliated entities involved amounts paid or received by State Street exceeding the greater of $1 million or 2% of the affiliated entity’s annual gross revenue.

Each of these documents is approved annually by the Board and is available under the “Corporate Governance” section in the “Investors” portion of our website at www.statestreet.com . Only our Board may grant a waiver for directors, senior financial officers or executive officers from a provision of the Standard of Conduct for Directors, the Standard of Conduct for Employees or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, and any waivers will be posted under the “Corporate Governance” section in the “Investors” portion of our website at www.statestreet.com .

Board, Committee and Director Self-Assessment
As part of the annual evaluation of the Board’s composition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee facilitates an assessment of the performance and effectiveness of the Board and each principal standing committee. This evaluation also includes an annual assessment of each director’s performance and contributions to the overall effectiveness of the Board and its committees.




Board Function, Productivity and Effectiveness
Committee Productivity
and Effectiveness
Director Nominee Process, Succession Planning and Refreshment
Director Development
The purpose of the Board and committee assessment is multi-faceted with the primary goal to evaluate the effectiveness, function, strength and productivity of the Board and its committees, and also to highlight potential areas for change and improvement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also leverages this process to guide Board refreshment, committee composition and succession planning efforts, as well as to evaluate whether the key skills and qualifications of members of the Board are aligned with State Street’s strategy and to determine the nominees to stand for annual shareholder election.
Between 2021 and 2023, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board annually engaged a third-party advisory firm to assist with strengthening the self-assessment process and to collect valuable insight and feedback from the directors. In 2024, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee managed the annual board and committee evaluation process internally, with consideration of the insights gained from the third-party advisory firm, and refreshed the process based on current Board needs.The internal self-assessment process is designed, among other things, to capture continuing themes or trends noted in prior assessments. This self-assessment procedure is illustrated below.
Board, Committee and Director Self-Assessment Process
Self-Assessment Design

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, independent Lead Director and management discuss the objectives of the self-assessment process and the prior-year reports and feedback to determine the scope, process and goals for this year’s Board and committee self-assessment
Completion of Questionnaires

Each director completes a questionnaire evaluating the performance of the Board and each committee, focusing on leadership, scope of responsibilities, quality of interactions with management and areas of potential improvement
Committee Evaluation

Each principal standing committee conducts an annual evaluation of its processes, responsibilities and effectiveness. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then assesses whether each of the committees had a functioning self-evaluation process and reports its findings to the Board, noting that in 2024, each had a functioning and effective self-evaluation process
Executive Session Discussions

Management presents the self-assessment report in an executive session of the Board, including key observations, themes and progress as compared to the prior year and recommends action plans
Assessment Themes, Director Development and Outcomes
As part of the Board and committee self-assessment process, the Board discusses any identified themes and overall findings, including the strengths and areas of potential improvement of the Board and its various committees, developing action plans to address areas that could benefit from enhancement. Then, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews

progress made against the action plans developed in the prior year, and considers further enhancements informed by the director feedback. For the 2024-2025 year, topics addressed by action plans included Board oversight of strategic planning and executive succession planning.
To promote continued director development, the Lead Director annually meets with each director to provide individual feedback and insights on strengths and development opportunities specific to the director. The Lead Director also uses this opportunity to solicit feedback from each director about the effectiveness of the Board and its committees, which is then integrated as a component of the Board’s annual assessment process.
Director Nomination Process and Candidate Identification and Selection
In connection with its annual Board and committee assessment, the Board reviews its composition and size to evaluate its overall effectiveness and alignment with Company strategy. As part of this review, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in conjunction with the Board, establishes the desired criteria, skills and areas of expertise needed to continue to support the Board in advancing State Street’s businesses and strategy. Once a director candidate is elected to serve on the Board, the director participates in a robust orientation program with presentations by senior management to familiarize the director with the Company’s strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management characteristics, compliance programs, governance and the Standards of Conduct, key Company leaders, and the internal and independent auditors. The Company also encourages director continuing education and offers internal training and external education opportunities to all directors.
Ms. Halliday is a new director and first-time nominee, elected by the Board in November 2024. She was first identified by a third-party search firm that was retained to identify potential director candidates. At the request of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the search firm first discussed with the members of the Committee the priority characteristics, skills and experience of a new director candidate, in light of the preferred individual and Board qualities discussed above. The search firm provided the Committee a pool of director candidates who were interested in State Street and who met the selection criteria, and the Chairman of the Board, independent Lead Director, Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and select other directors conducted interviews. The Board recognized Ms. Halliday's deep financial services risk oversight expertise, among other qualities, to enhance the overall effectiveness and composition of the Board. Ms. Halliday is deemed independent by the Board under the Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Illustrated below is an overview of the process used to identify the desired attributes and to select new candidates for the Board.

Corporate Governance at State Street
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to identify individuals qualified to become directors, consistent with the identified criteria. In carrying out its responsibility to identify the best-qualified candidates for directors, the Committee will consider proposals for nominees from a number of sources, including recommendations from shareholders submitted upon written notice to:
Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
c/o the Office of the Secretary of State Street Corporation,
One Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02114
By following the procedures set forth under “General Information About the Annual Meeting—Proposals and Nominations by Shareholders,” shareholders also have the right under our by-laws to directly nominate director candidates and, in certain circumstances, to have their nominees included in State Street’s proxy statement.
Director Nominee Qualifications and Skills
We believe that our Board should have a variety of qualifications, skill sets and experiences that, when taken as a whole, best serve the Company and our shareholders. Diverse perspectives on our Board support our success, and we strive to have a Board that provides diversity of thought and a broad range of perspectives. In an effort to achieve these objectives, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider a wide range of attributes when determining and assessing director nominees and new candidates in the context and needs of the Board, including personal and professional backgrounds, independence and tenure of Board service. The Committee does not assign specific weight to the various factors it considers and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for nomination. As summarized below, each of our director nominees brings to the Board a variety of qualifications and skills and, collectively, these qualifications form a depth of broad, global and diverse experiences that help the Board effectively oversee our activities and operations. The Board believes that the nominees as a group possess the skill sets and specific business backgrounds that the Board desires and that each of the director nominees has substantial achievement in their personal and professional pursuits and has talents, experience, judgment and integrity that will contribute to the best interests of State Street and to long-term shareholder value. The below data presents elements of our Board composition, reflecting the 11 director nominees.

Corporate Governance at State Street
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Board Governance
State Street’s leadership structure includes an independent Lead Director of the Board. Dame Amelia Fawcett has served in this position since May 2019. As mentioned in Dame Amelia’s letter to shareholders beginning on page 1 of this proxy statement, in March 2025, the Board appointed Sara Mathew to serve as our independent Lead Director, commencing following the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and subject to her re-election as a director at the annual meeting.
As Chairman, Mr. O’Hanley presides at all meetings of the Board he attends and works with the independent Lead Director to establish the agendas for all of its meetings and the matters on which the Board will vote.
Role of the Independent Lead Director
Appointed annually by the independent directors to serve a one-year term
Expected to participate in, and attend, meetings of all Board committees, providing valuable committee overlap to enable optimal agenda coordination, insight and consistency across all committees and helping to strengthen risk oversight
Presides at meetings of the Board during which the Chairman is not present, and at executive sessions of independent directors held at every regularly-scheduled Board meeting
Serves as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors
Authorized to call additional meetings of the independent directors
Communicates frequently with the Chairman to provide feedback and implement the decisions and recommendations of the independent directors
Conducts an annual process for reviewing the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and reports the results of the process to the other independent directors
Meets annually with each independent director to provide feedback, areas of strength and development opportunities
Meets at least annually with such members of the senior leadership team as the Lead Director determines from time to time
Represents the Board in discussions with stakeholders and communicates with regulators
Approves, in consultation with the Chairman, the agendas for Board meetings and the matters to be voted on by the full Board
Board Leadership Review Process
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee coordinates the annual independent Lead Director nomination and election process. The process incorporates thoughtful succession planning, as reflected in the planned Lead Director transition noted above. In addition, the Board reviews its leadership structure at least annually to assess and determine whether it remains appropriate. The Board values the flexibility to review and determine the appropriate leadership structure based on State Street’s opportunities and circumstances at any given time.
After the independent directors’ 2024 review and assessment, the Board continues to believe that Mr. O’Hanley’s role as Chairman—together with a strong independent Lead Director, consistent with Dame Amelia’s execution of the role—continues to be the most effective leadership structure for State Street and in the best interests of the Board, State Street and its shareholders at this time.
Among the factors considered by the Board in determining that the current leadership structure remains the most appropriate are:
as our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. O’Hanley has extensive knowledge of our business and strategy and is well-positioned to work with the independent Lead Director to focus our Board’s agenda on the key issues facing State Street
oversight of State Street is the responsibility of our Board as a whole, which maintains a super-majority of independent directors (10 out of 11 director nominees), and this responsibility can be properly discharged with a strong, active and engaged independent Lead Director
the Chairman and independent Lead Director work together to play a strong and active role in the oversight of State Street’s business strategy and operational management

Corporate Governance at State Street
Board Risk Oversight
In the normal course of our business activities, State Street is exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent in the financial services industry and others are more specific to our business activities. The identification, assessment, monitoring, mitigation and reporting of risks are essential to our financial performance and successful management of our businesses. Risk management, including Board and senior management oversight and a system of policies, procedures, limits, risk measurement and monitoring and internal controls, allows for an assessment of risks for evaluating opportunities for the prudent use of capital that appropriately balances risk and return. Our established risk appetite framework outlines the quantitative limits and qualitative goals that define the level and type of risk we are willing to undertake in the course of executing our business strategy, and also serves as a guide in setting risk limits across our business units. The framework is established by Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), a corporate risk oversight group, in conjunction with the Management Risk and Capital Committee, our senior management decision-making body for risk and capital issues, and the Risk Committee of the Board. The Board formally reviews and approves our risk appetite statement annually, or more frequently in response to shifts in endogenous or exogenous risk conditions.
ERM provides risk oversight, support and coordination to allow for the consistent identification, measurement and management of risks across business units separate from the business units' activities, and is responsible for the formulation and maintenance of corporate-wide risk management policies and guidelines. In addition, ERM establishes and reviews limits and, in collaboration with business unit management, monitors key risks. Ultimately, ERM works to validate that risk-taking occurs within the risk appetite statement approved by the Board and conforms to associated risk policies, limits and guidelines.
The Board committees that assist the Board in discharging the Board’s responsibilities with respect to risk management, including their respective areas of risk oversight, among other things, are shown below. State Street, as a large bank holding company, is required by regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to have a Risk Committee. The Risk Committee is responsible for oversight related to the operation of our global risk management framework, including policies and procedures establishing risk management governance and processes and risk control infrastructure. It is responsible for reviewing and discussing with management our assessment and management of all risks applicable to our operations, including among other matters, credit, market, interest rate, liquidity, operational, regulatory, technology, business, compliance and reputation risks, and related policies. The Risk Committee also receives quarterly updates from other Board committees regarding risk-related matters reviewed by those Board committees.
The structure of the Risk Committee assists the Board in administering its oversight of risk management throughout our Company. The Risk Committee includes at least one member who has experience in identifying, assessing and managing risk exposures of a large, complex financial firm, and all members of the Risk Committee have an understanding of risk management principles and practices relevant to the Company. In addition, the Lead Director participates in meetings of the Risk Committee and the Chairman of the Board and CEO is a current member of the Risk Committee. For more details regarding the Risk Committee and our other Board committees, refer to “Committees of the Board of Directors.”
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is responsible for our risk management globally, leads ERM and has a dual reporting line to our CEO and the Risk Committee. The Chief Compliance Officer reports to the CRO. Our risk management is further discussed in Part II, Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-Management Director Compensation
General
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews, and recommends to the Board, the form and amount of non-management director compensation. In conducting its review, the Committee used the Compensation Peer Group that is used by the Human Resources Committee for executive compensation generally and, like the Human Resources Committee, used the services of Meridian Compensation Partners for 2024. Information on State Street’s Compensation Peer Group and compensation consultant is described under the heading “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Other Elements of Our Compensation-Setting Process.”
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not treat Compensation Peer Group data as definitive when determining non-management director compensation. Rather, it referenced this peer group compensation, as well as trends in director compensation generally and within the financial services/ banking industry, and formed its own perspective on compensation for our non-management directors. In May 2024, the Committee made its recommendation to the Board, which, following the May 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, approved compensation for all non-management directors effective through the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. There were no changes to the elements of director compensation from the prior year. Mr. O’Hanley, as an employee director, does not receive any additional compensation for his services as a director.

Each non-management director also earns $1,500 per meeting after the tenth Board meeting attended during the Board year. Non-management directors are also reimbursed for expenses incurred as a result of Board service.
(2)
The annual retainer and annual equity award are pro-rated for any non-management director joining the Board after the annual meeting of shareholders. Committee retainers are pro-rated for any non-management director joining a committee or becoming a committee chair during the Board year.
(3)
Non-management directors may elect to receive their retainers in cash or shares of State Street common stock. For non-management directors elected at the annual meeting, all awards made in shares of State Street common stock are granted based on the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the annual meeting that begins the period, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Under the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, with limited exceptions, the total value of all compensation components to a non-management director cannot exceed $1.5 million in a calendar year.
(4)
The Examining and Audit Committee and Risk Committee member retainer is payable to each member of the respective committee, other than each committee’s Chair and the Lead Director, if a committee member.
Pursuant to State Street’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, non-management directors may elect to defer the receipt of 0% or 100% of their (1) retainers, (2) annual equity award and/or (3) meeting fees. Non-management directors who elect to defer the cash payment of their retainers or meeting fees may choose from four notional investment fund returns for such deferred cash. Deferrals of common stock are adjusted to reflect the hypothetical reinvestment in additional shares of common stock for any dividends or other distributions on State Street common stock during the deferral period. Deferred amounts will be paid at the termination of Board service as either a lump sum or in installments over a two- to five-year period, as elected by the non-management director.
Director Stock Ownership Guidelines
Under our stock ownership guidelines, all non-management directors are required to maintain a target level of stock ownership equal to eight times the annual retainer of $100,000 for a total of $800,000. Non-management directors must hold all net shares received until they reach the target ownership level. For purposes of these stock ownership guidelines, the value of shares owned is based on the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date that we use for the beneficial ownership table under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” Non-management directors are credited with all shares they beneficially own for purposes of the beneficial ownership table, including any deferred share awards. Non-management directors are expected to attain the ownership level ratably within five years after initial election to the Board.
Our Securities Trading Policy prohibits directors from engaging in short selling, hedging, options trading, pledging or speculative trading in State Street securities.

As of March 3, 2025, Ms. Halliday exceeded the pro-rated expected level of ownership, but was below the full target ownership level, as she was within five years of her initial election to the Board, and therefore was subject to the 100% holding requirement of net shares received. As of March 3, 2025, each of the other non-management directors exceeded the full target level of ownership under the guidelines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Governance at State Street
Related-Person Transactions
The Board has adopted a written policy and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which State Street is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors or 5% shareholders (or their immediate family members), who we refer to as “related persons,” has a direct or indirect material interest. A related person proposing to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship must report the proposed related-person transaction to State Street’s General Counsel. The policy calls for the proposed related-person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A related-person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved if it is authorized by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or the Committee Chair) after full disclosure of the related person’s interest in the transaction. Such reporting and review should occur prior to the effectiveness or consummation of the transaction. The General Counsel may present a related-person transaction arising in the time period between meetings of the Committee to the Chair of the Committee, who shall review and may approve the related-person transaction. The Chair reports on any related-person transaction reviewed at the next meeting of the Committee. If the General Counsel becomes aware of a related-person transaction that has not been previously reviewed under the policy, the Committee shall review and, in its discretion, may ratify the related-person transaction. Any ongoing related-person transactions are reviewed annually to evaluate whether they should be permitted to continue.
Related-Person Transaction Considerations
As appropriate for the circumstances, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or the Committee Chair) will review and consider:
the related person’s interest in the related-person transaction
the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related-person transaction
the approximate dollar value of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to any profit or loss
whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of State Street’s business
whether the transaction with the related person is on terms no less favorable to State Street than terms that could be reached with an unrelated third-party
the purpose of the transaction and the potential benefits to State Street
any other information regarding the related-person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews all relevant information available about the transaction. The Committee may approve the transaction only if the Committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on State Street or the related person in connection with approval of the related-person transaction.
In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the SEC’s related-person transaction disclosure rule, the Board has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related-person transactions for purposes of this policy:
interests arising solely from the related person’s position as an executive officer, employee or consultant of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity) that is a party to the transaction, where (1) the related person and their immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (2) the annual amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of the other entity that is a party to the transaction during that entity’s last completed fiscal year; or
a transaction that involves discretionary charitable contributions from State Street to a tax-exempt organization where a related person is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer, provided the related person and their immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction, and further provided that, where a related person is an executive officer of the tax-exempt organization, the amount of the discretionary charitable contributions in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Governance at State Street
any completed year in the last 3 fiscal years is not more than the greater of $1 million, or 2% of that organization’s consolidated gross revenues in the last completed fiscal year of that organization (in applying this test, State Street’s automatic matching of director or employee charitable contributions to a charitable organization will not be included in the amount of State Street’s discretionary contributions)
Jamie Louise Timby Barron is the daughter of Sarah Timby, State Street’s Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. Jamie Louise Timby Barron has been employed with State Street since March 2024. In 2024, while Sarah Timby served as an executive officer of State Street, Jamie Louise Timby Barron received total compensation of less than $250,000. Jamie Louise Timby Barron’s compensation is determined by her manager and her division’s leadership in accordance with standard Company compensation practices applicable to similarly situated employees. After considering the related-person transaction considerations outlined above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee ratified the employment relationship between State Street and Jamie Louise Timby Barron.
Based on information provided by the directors and executive officers, no other related-person transactions are required to be reported in this proxy statement under applicable SEC regulations. In addition, neither State Street nor the Bank has extended a personal loan or extension of credit to any of its directors or executive officers.
Human Capital
State Street’s employees are key to our long-term performance. Our employees drive the Company’s strategy, innovate better ways to serve our clients and act as custodians of our reputation. We seek to empower our employees by providing development and learning opportunities to help each person reach their full potential. Our Board’s Human Resources Committee has oversight of human capital management. A management-level committee, the Enterprise Talent Management Committee, provides leadership and input on all aspects of our global talent-related initiatives that support achievement of our strategic priority to become a higher-performing organization. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 53,000 employees in 34 countries, with approximately 77% of our employees located outside the United States.
Our focus on attracting, developing, motivating and retaining employees is a key enabler of our corporate strategy:


Attract
We believe that an inclusive culture where employees feel valued, engaged and empowered makes State Street a more desirable place to work, helps us attract and retain employees as they grow in their careers, and fosters an environment that enhances each individual’s sense of belonging, productivity and professional satisfaction. Our goal is to provide employees with a clear and compelling value proposition that connects them to a motivating purpose and reinforces their impact on business strategy, ensures they understand the value of their contributions, and creates an environment where all employees can thrive and succeed. We encourage integrity and ethical decision making and provide multiple avenues for employees to speak up about behavior inconsistent with our values. We offer comprehensive and flexible benefit programs to meet the changing needs of our employees and their families, including by maintaining physical, emotional and financial wellness programs, providing parental and caregiver support benefits, and offering special paid time off for community involvement. We support equal pay for equal work and apply a global policy to not ask for compensation history for both internal and external hires.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Governance at State Street
Develop
We aim to promote strong levels of employee commitment and connection to the Company by providing an environment that supports our diverse employee population in amplifying behaviors that drive our business strategy and improve our organizational effectiveness. We provide monetary and non-monetary recognition for specific behaviors that drive our business strategy and culture, including by recognizing employees who role model our culture traits and who exhibit exemplary risk management performance. Our learning and development efforts align with our strategy, helping employees to learn new and strengthen existing skills that are needed to drive our long-term performance. We offer internship and rotational programs to develop high-performing recent graduates to position them for early career success. We also provide leadership development programs and tailored development opportunities for high-potential employees to build our internal talent pipeline for future leadership roles and we offer a global education assistance program to support employees in fulfilling their career goals. We also impact communities around the world through employee volunteering and financial support, including by partnering with charitable organizations through direct financial support from the State Street Foundation, matching employee donations and encouraging skills-based volunteering to support local non-profit organizations and drive employee engagement.
Motivate and Retain
We cascade our strategy, vision and goals throughout our organization, align individual performance expectations with those goals, and encourage managers to have frequent performance discussions with their teams. We motivate and reward employees with competitive incentive compensation opportunities and employ a pay-for-performance philosophy by differentiating pay to reward our highest performers. We align employee and shareholder interests by delivering a portion of incentive compensation in deferred equity-based pay to employees with higher pay levels. We also work to retain our top talent, upskilling our workforce and continuously evolving our internal mobility approach to provide employees a wide array of opportunities to build and sustain their careers with State Street.

Executive Summary
Corporate Performance Summary
During 2024, we executed on our strategy to increase fee revenue growth while continuing to transform our operating model, enhance our capabilities and support our clients. We also demonstrated business momentum with continued strong sales in our Investment Servicing and Investment Management businesses. These efforts contributed to strong results for the year, including both positive fee and total operating leverage * supported by record NII for the Company, and, overall, exceeded our 2024 financial outlook. Our 2024 performance results include:

Financial results that reflect the strategic and financial progress we are making, including (all comparisons to 2023):

Improved earnings per share (EPS), pre-tax margin and return on average common equity (ROE), reflecting higher total revenue

Total fee revenue improved, driven by higher management fee revenue, foreign exchange (FX) trading services revenue, other fee revenue, and servicing fee revenue

NII increased to a Company-record level for the second consecutive year, primarily due to higher investment securities yields and loan growth

Total expenses declined, primarily reflecting the effects of notable items in 2023. Excluding notable items, expenses increased, reflecting higher revenue and performance related costs and approximately $375 million of incremental technology and business growth investments that were more than offset by approximately $500 million in gross year-over-year expense savings from ongoing productivity initiatives

Total shareholder return (TSR) exceeded the KBW Bank Index on a three- and five-year basis **

Continued strong sales in our investment servicing business, including seven new reported State Street Alpha ® mandates and continued delivery of new functionality ***

Our investment management business, State Street Global Advisors, generated Company-record management fee revenue, exchange-traded fund (ETF) net inflows and ETF assets under management (AUM) as of year-end. We also continued to gain market share in key segments and continued innovating to deliver new products and strategic partnerships

Our markets and financing business, State Street Global Markets, generated strong revenue growth in FX trading services despite lower average FX volatility throughout 2024, supported by higher client volumes, while developing new product capabilities and expanding geographic reach

Returned approximately $2.2 billion to our shareholders in the form of common share repurchases and common stock dividends

Improved service quality, broadening and deepening existing client relationships

Completed the consolidation of our final joint venture in India, further advancing the plan to transform our operating model to unlock efficiency savings and improve client experience

Continued to invest in our talent to drive performance and retain our best performers, achieved year-over-year improvements in employee engagement and executed on key organizational changes

Effectively managed financial risk amid uncertain market conditions, including a shifting global monetary policy environment and escalating geopolitical risks, and progressed enhancements to key risk programs and processes
*
Fee operating leverage is the rate of growth of total fee revenue less the rate of growth of total expenses, relative to the corresponding prior year period, as applicable. Operating leverage is the rate of growth of total revenue less the rate of growth of total expenses, relative to the corresponding prior year period, as applicable.

As of January 1, 2024, the KBW Bank Index comprised State Street, our Direct Peers (Northern Trust Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation) and 21 other constituents with which we competed in some aspects of our businesses.

Our State Street Alpha platform combines portfolio management, trading and execution, analytics and compliance tools, and advanced data aggregation and integration with other industry platforms and providers.
Additional performance indicators used in our executive compensation program are presented under “Performance and Compensation Decisions.” State Street’s 2024 performance is reviewed in greater detail, along with relevant risks associated with our business, results of operations and financial condition, in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K, which accompanies this proxy statement and was previously filed with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive Compensation
Compensation Philosophy
Our executive compensation program is designed to drive Company and individual performance and to align the pay ultimately received by each executive with the performance experienced by our shareholders over time by placing a strong emphasis on long-term equity-based vehicles, including performance-based equity. Our executive compensation philosophy is summarized in the following principles:
Attract, retain and motivate our executives and drive strong leadership behaviors
Reward our executives for meeting or exceeding Company and individual performance objectives
Drive long-term shareholder value and align pay with performance results experienced by our shareholders
Achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values
Determining NEO Compensation
In determining NEO compensation, the HRC uses a total incentive compensation approach, making a single annual incentive compensation award decision. The HRC’s decision is based primarily on corporate performance, with a modifier based on individual performance relative to individual financial, business and risk management-related goals, and market trends. The awards are then delivered through various short-term and long-term vehicles, including performance-based equity.
In the summary below, we describe how we determine total incentive compensation and the vehicles through which it is delivered.

Corporate Performance Evaluation. To determine our NEOs’ incentive compensation awards for 2024, the HRC started by evaluating overall corporate performance relative to our financial, business and risk management goals. These goals were set at the beginning of 2024 and were measured during the year, using both qualitative and quantitative assessments. Based on an overall corporate performance assessment of “Above Expectations,” the HRC applied a corporate performance factor of 115% for 2024. Detail on each performance area is provided under “Performance and Compensation Decisions—Corporate Performance.”

Executive Compensation
Individual Performance Evaluation and Market Factors. Following its evaluation of corporate performance, the HRC assessed each NEO’s performance against individual financial, business and risk management objectives. Detail on the HRC’s assessments of performance against individual goals for the NEOs is provided under the heading “Performance and Compensation Decisions—Individual Performance and Compensation Decisions.” The HRC also considered market trends in determining final NEO incentive compensation awards.
Individual NEO Performance (Range: +/-30%)
The HRC made
Adjustments for Individual NEO performance ranging from 0% to +10%

Incentive Compensation Mix. The HRC uses a total incentive compensation approach, making a single incentive compensation award decision and delivering that award in various short-term and long-term vehicles, as summarized below and described in more detail under “Compensation Vehicles.”
As in past years, the HRC designed the 2024 incentive compensation mix to emphasize the link between pay and the performance experienced by our shareholders over time, as described in more detail below under “Executive Summary—Linking Pay with Performance Over Time.” The HRC strives to accomplish this goal by delivering a substantial proportion of our NEOs’ incentive compensation in the form of long-term equity-based vehicles. Each NEO’s long-term equity awards are also significantly performance-based, with more than 60% delivered through performance-based RSUs for our CEO and Other NEOs, as described in more detail below under “Compensation Vehicles—Performance-Based RSUs.”
The HRC historically awarded incentive compensation to our NEOs with a significant percentage deferred in long-term vehicles, including cash-settled restricted stock units (CRSUs) and a deferred cash vehicle (Deferred Value Awards, or DVAs). Deferred compensation for our CEO since the 2020 performance year was delivered in a range of 90-100% long-term, deferred vehicles, exceeding most of our peers during that time. To better align the mix between short-term and long-term vehicles with our Compensation Peer Group, while maintaining an emphasis on deferred long-term incentive compensation, the HRC eliminated the deferred cash components of incentive compensation for the 2024 performance year.
For the 2024 performance year (1) ,
75% of incentive compensation for our CEO and 65% for Other NEOs was delivered in long-term deferred equity vehicles; and
50% of incentive compensation for our CEO and 40% for Other NEOs was tied to specific long-term performance metrics (i.e., performance-based RSUs).

(1)
Mr. Ambrosius is subject to local remuneration requirements based on his role and employment in Germany, which impact the structure and form of his incentive compensation as compared to Mr. Hu and Ms. Hung, as described in more detail below under “Compensation Vehicles.” For the 2024 performance year, the cash portion of Mr. Ambrosius’ incentive compensation consists of 15% immediate cash and 20% DVAs, resulting in deferred incentives of 85%.

Executive Compensation
Linking Pay with Performance Over Time
The HRC reviews, evaluates and approves our executive compensation program annually, and designs our executive compensation program to align pay with performance and shareholder interests over time. Realizable pay (the value of prior incentive compensation awards granted) (1) reflects both our shareholders’ experience and our performance against the targets set under our performance-based RSU program.
The charts below display awards granted to our CEO for 2021 through 2023 performance and include the impact of changes in our stock price since the awards were granted and our performance against the targets set for the performance-based RSUs that comprised a significant part of these awards. (2) The value of incentive compensation ultimately received by our CEO (and, likewise, our Other NEOs) will continue to be impacted by these factors prior to vesting. While the graphs below summarize how the HRC views the alignment of pay with performance for our CEO over time, it is not a substitute for the tables and disclosures required by SEC rules.


(1)
Realizable value reflects the value of CRSUs, DSAs and performance-based RSUs based on the closing share price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on December 31, 2024 of $98.15 (and assumes all shares are retained), plus the value of cash-based incentive compensation awarded.
(2)
Current estimated realizable value of performance-based RSUs reflects performance results certified by the HRC. See also footnote 1.
(3)
Reflects cumulative shareholder return, including reinvestment of dividends from respective grant dates through December 31, 2024.
(4)
Reflects actual incentive compensation, as approved by the HRC based on year-end performance outcomes. While the graphs indicate how the HRC viewed the incentive compensation awarded, the referenced amounts differ from amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table (which appears on page 64 ) and the Pay-versus-Performance Table (which appears on page 81 ) for the referenced years. For further discussion on this topic relative to the 2024 performance year, see “Individual Compensation Decisions Summary.”
(5)
Includes pro forma realizable value of performance-based RSUs based on performance of relevant criteria only for completed fiscal years within the three-year performance period through 2024. This performance has not been certified and is therefore subject to adjustment based on the terms of the relevant incentive compensation awards. No estimate of performance for 2025 and beyond has been made. Final payout will be based on satisfaction of the performance criteria as certified by the HRC following the end of the performance period. See also footnote 1.

Executive Compensation
Executive Transitions
In September 2024, State Street appointed Mr. Ambrosius, who had served in the role of Chief Commercial Officer, as President of our largest business, Investment Services.
In October 2024, State Street announced the departure of Eric Aboaf, our Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer and head of our markets and financing businesses. Mr. Aboaf continued to serve in these roles and as an executive officer through his departure on February 13, 2025. Mr. Aboaf did not receive an incentive award for the 2024 performance year. Mr. Aboaf received his base salary through his departure date, and his outstanding deferred incentive compensation awards will continue to vest according to their original terms and schedule because he had attained age 55 and completed five years of service prior to his departure and State Street deemed his notice period to have been satisfied. Mr. Aboaf also did not receive severance or other compensation enhancements in conjunction with his departure.
Shareholder Outreach and Responsiveness
In 2024, we continued an active shareholder outreach program, from which we gain additional insight into shareholder perspectives, including on our executive compensation program. We met with shareholders both before and after our 2024 “Say on Pay” vote, which received approximately 93% support at our annual meeting. During 2024, we engaged with shareholders representing approximately 57% of shares outstanding, and met with all of those who expressed an interest in providing feedback.
The HRC chair, Ms. Mathew, participated in meetings with selected shareholders, which covered topics including our executive compensation program design, corporate governance practices and corporate strategy, and our investors’ perspectives on environmental and social matters. Most of the shareholders we met with expressed support for the design of our executive compensation program and appreciation for the clarity and level of transparency in our disclosures.
The valuable feedback that we receive in these meetings helps inform the design of our executive compensation program and our approach to disclosure. For example, following the enhancements we made to our long-term performance-based RSU vehicle design in 2023, we solicited feedback on the design and disclosure of those enhancements in our 2024 Proxy Statement. Although shareholders were broadly supportive of these changes, which were intended to enhance focus on the key financial drivers of our long-term strategy, several shareholders requested clarity on our total incentive compensation approach and the distinction between the long- and short-term elements of our incentive compensation awards. In response to this feedback, our 2025 Proxy Statement strives to more clearly convey how we use the delivery of incentive awards to drive shareholder alignment on an annual, or short-term, basis and from a long-term perspective, as outlined in more detail above under “Executive Summary—Incentive Compensation Mix” and “Executive Summary—Linking Pay with Performance Over Time” and below under “Compensation Vehicles.”
For the 2024 performance year, informed by the continued strong support for our “Say on Pay” vote and ongoing dialogue with our investors, the HRC maintained the key pillars of our existing compensation program, including the use of performance-based RSUs, which we believe effectively align pay with performance and reflect shareholder input. Additional detail on our shareholder outreach in 2024 can be found under “Corporate Governance at State Street—Shareholder Engagement and Communications.”

Compensation Vehicles
Total compensation for our NEOs is typically delivered via base salary and incentive compensation.
Base salary is a relatively stable element of the total compensation for our CEO and Other NEOs. In compliance with local law based on Mr. Ambrosius’ role and employment in Germany, an element of total compensation, which more properly reflects his professional experience and the particular duties and responsibilities of his role, is delivered as a fixed allowance.
Incentive compensation for 2024 performance was delivered through the following vehicles: (1)

Performance-Based RSUs
Our performance-based RSUs are intended to align the incentives for our executives with our long-term performance and financial goals. The design of this vehicle is informed by long-term strategic and other considerations and shareholder feedback. In recent years, we have discussed the performance-based RSU design with our shareholders, including the benefits of a more focused structure. Informed by this feedback, the HRC approved several changes to the design of our performance-based RSU vehicle granted in 2024 intended to sharpen focus on two key financial drivers of our long-term strategy: fee revenue growth and pre-tax margin. The HRC maintained this design for performance-based RSUs granted in 2025 for 2024 performance, as described in more detail below:

Setting Targets
and Payout
Levels
Each year, the HRC assesses targets and payout levels for new performance-based RSU awards and sets them at levels that the HRC believes are appropriate to incentivize our executives to achieve our strategic goals and enhance long-term shareholder value. The HRC believes that setting targets and payout levels that encourage focus aligned with our strategy provides substantial motivation to achieve and exceed these targets. In doing so, the HRC remains mindful not to incentivize excessive risk-taking. In setting the targets and payout levels, the HRC considers publicly-stated guidance and projections, prospective macroeconomic scenarios and current-year results, among other factors.

calculation, such as: changes in accounting principles, tax or banking law or regulations; acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions and related securities issuances and expenses; restructuring charges and expenses; and litigation or regulatory settlements arising from events that occurred prior to the performance period. In addition, the HRC retains the discretionary right to disregard any calculation adjustment that would result in an increase to the core performance metrics or to average ROE, and to reduce the payout under the award for other material items or events.
(3)
Calculation of average pre-tax margin and average ROE for the performance-based RSUs reflects a simple average of the achievement in each year in the performance period. Calculation of fee revenue growth is performed using the CAGR during the performance period.
(4)
KBW Bank Index is used for relative comparisons, reflecting an external benchmark that includes our Direct Peers (Northern Trust Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation) and other firms with which we compete in some aspects of our businesses and consistent with our shareholder return presentations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(5)
Bilinear interpolation is used between the points shown in the Core Performance Matrix (other than points “Below Threshold”) and linear interpolation is used between the points shown in the ROE Modifier table.
(6)
The Relative TSR Modifier and ROE Modifier percentages are added to the payout outcome determined based on the Core Performance Matrix, except that the final payout percentage shall not be greater than 150% nor less than 0%. Additionally, for the performance-based RSUs granted to Mr. Ambrosius, the initial percentage earned is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the Company’s EMEA Risk Adjustment Guidelines in effect from time to time.
Prior Year Performance-Based RSU Awards. (1) The performance-based RSUs granted for 2021 performance were earned at 61.5% of target in February 2025 based on the design and 2022 – 2024 performance as follows: (2)

For additional information about the terms of these awards, see the narrative discussion following the “2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table, the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End, December 31, 2024” table and our prior year proxy statements.
(2)
Achievement of ROE and pre-tax margin targets for the performance-based RSUs granted for 2021 performance and completed in 2024 is calculated based on a simple average of the achievement in each year in the performance period. Achievement of the fee revenue growth target is calculated based on the CAGR during the performance period. Each of the ROE, pre-tax margin and fee revenue growth metrics are weighted equally.
ROE, pre-tax margin and fee revenue growth are subject to adjustment for pre-established, objectively determinable factors. Prior to granting the performance-based RSU award, the HRC establishes the factors that could affect the performance measures during the performance period, and which are then excluded from the performance measure calculation, such as: changes in accounting principles, tax or banking law or regulations; acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions and related securities issuances and expenses; restructuring charges and expenses; and litigation or regulatory settlements arising from events that occurred prior to the performance period. In addition, the HRC retains the discretion to disregard any calculation adjustment that would result in an increase to average ROE, average pre-tax margin or fee revenue growth measured on a CAGR basis, and to reduce the payout under the award for other material items or events.
For the 2021 performance year performance-based RSUs, the HRC approved adjustments to the three-year average GAAP ROE of 11.5%, the three-year average GAAP pre-tax margin of 27.4% and the three-year GAAP fee revenue growth (CAGR) of 0.2% to account for: changes in tax or banking law or regulations; acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions and related expenses; restructuring charges and expenses; and legal and regulatory matters. See Appendix B for a reconciliation of these adjustments to the GAAP-basis results.
(3)
Linear interpolation is used between the points shown in this table.
(4)
The Relative TSR Modifier percentage is added to or subtracted from the payout outcome calculated based on the three weighted metrics to determine the final payout percentage, except that the final payout percentage may be no greater than 150%. Performance-based RSU awards granted for the 2021 performance year use the S&P 500 Financial Index (Capital Markets and Banks Subsets) for relative comparison.

Executive Compensation
Performance and Compensation Decisions
Total Compensation Approach
The HRC determines the amount of individual compensation to be awarded to our NEOs by looking at total compensation, consisting of base salary and incentive compensation.
Setting Individual Target Total Compensation. The HRC establishes target total compensation levels for our NEOs each year. The targets are based on each executive’s role, responsibilities and performance trend, as well as competitive and market factors and internal equity. In establishing target total compensation levels, the HRC reviews compensation market data for our Compensation Peer Group (1) , supplemented with data from multiple compensation surveys and guidance from the HRC’s independent compensation consultant, each described in more detail below under “Other Elements of Our Compensation-Setting Process.” The Compensation Peer Group companies vary in size, business lines, the nature of executive roles, and applicable regulation status, so the HRC does not treat Compensation Peer Group data as definitive when establishing target total compensation levels. 2024 target total compensation levels are shown under “Individual Compensation Decisions Summary.”
Determining Incentive Compensation Awards. The HRC’s process for determining incentive compensation award amounts for the 2024 performance year is illustrated in the framework below.
The HRC evaluates overall Company performance as the primary factor and individual performance as a potential modifier. The HRC also considers market compensation levels and expected trends. Overall Company performance drives the final incentive compensation award amount unless individual performance and/or market considerations warrant an adjustment, which is limited to an addition to or subtraction from the corporate performance factor of up to thirty percent.
In evaluating performance, the HRC may consider additional factors and does not assign a specific weight to any one factor. Once the final incentive compensation amount is determined, it is delivered through the mix of vehicles shown below.

(1)
The HRC periodically reviews peer group data as an input into its compensation oversight decisions. The Compensation Peer Group comprises 19 companies with which we compete in some aspects of our businesses and for executive talent. Additional detail is provided under the heading “Other Elements of Our Compensation-Setting Process—Peer Groups and Compensation Market Data.”
(2)
Relative performance is measured separately against both our Direct Peers (Northern Trust Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation) and the KBW Bank Index.

Corporate Performance
Evaluation Process. The HRC’s evaluation of overall Company performance is based on a review of financial, business and risk management performance relative to corporate goals set at the beginning of each year. The HRC reviewed preliminary corporate performance assessments in July and December 2024, and received a final 2024 performance update in early 2025. The full Board also reviewed financial performance throughout the year, and the Risk Committee reviewed overall risk management performance in July and December 2024.
Based on its review of Company performance, the HRC concluded that State Street’s overall Company performance was “Above Expectations” and that the 2024 corporate performance factor be set at 115%. Details on our corporate performance are found below.
Financial Performance. During its evaluation of fiscal year 2024 performance, the HRC reviewed financial results presented in conformity with GAAP, as well as financial results presented on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP (a non-GAAP presentation). In general, our non-GAAP financial results exclude the impact of revenue and expenses outside of State Street’s normal course of business or other notable items. Financial results are presented on a non-GAAP basis in this section, unless otherwise noted. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures presented in this proxy statement, see Appendix B .

Financial Performance Summary
HRC Evaluation Summary: 2024 financial performance was strong with both positive fee and total operating leverage, pre-tax margin expansion, and ROE and EPS growth relative to 2023. Every revenue line contributed positively compared to 2023, including growth in management fee revenue, FX trading services revenue, software and processing fees revenue, and servicing fee revenue, while delivering a second consecutive year of Company-record NII. Total expenses declined, primarily reflecting the effects of notable items in 2023. Expenses excluding notable items were well-controlled given higher revenue performance, as we took necessary steps to further streamline our organization, positioning us for long-term success. TSR exceeded the KBW Bank Index on a three- and five-year basis.

The compensation for the 2024 performance year described in the table above, which summarizes how the HRC evaluates annual total compensation, differs from the compensation described in the Summary Compensation Table in the following key respects:

Euro to US$ Conversion. Amounts in the table above and in the Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Ambrosius, who is paid in Euros, were converted from Euros to US$ as described in the Summary Compensation Table. Amounts in the table above for Mr. Ambrosius are rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Annual Fixed Pay. The table above reflects fixed pay for each NEO, comprising base salary and, for Mr. Ambrosius, a fixed allowance as described in more detail above under “Compensation Vehicles.” The “Salary” column in the Summary Compensation Table presents the amount of fixed pay actually earned by each NEO during the relevant year.

DVAs. DVAs are a deferred cash component of Mr. Ambrosius’ 2024 performance year incentive compensation, as described in more detail above under “Compensation Vehicles.” See also note (3) to this table. The table above, like the Summary Compensation Table, reflects the value of deferred cash compensation awarded by the HRC for the 2024 performance year. However, the table above does not reflect any dividends credited on DVAs outstanding during 2024, which are included in the Summary Compensation Table.

Equity-Based Incentive Compensation Awards. The HRC grants equity-based incentive compensation awards based on the prior year’s performance. In the table above, equity-based awards are shown for the year of performance (i.e., equity-based awards granted in 2025 for 2024 performance are shown as 2024 compensation). Under SEC rules, the Summary Compensation Table presents equity-based awards in the year in which they are granted (i.e., equity-based awards granted in 2025 for 2024 performance are shown as 2025 compensation). Thus, the equity-based awards shown above for the 2024 performance year will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025.

Total Compensation. The amounts disclosed above differ from the amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table due to the different methodologies discussed in the notes above. Additionally, this table excludes items required to be included in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table that State Street does not view as primary components of regular annual compensation and therefore were not considered in setting target incentive compensation or determining incentive compensation awards, such as the executive security package provided to Mr. O’Hanley.

The figure of $2,579,000 in this table comprises $631,000 base salary and $1,948,000 fixed allowance.

The figure of $1,519,000 in this table comprises $651,000 immediate cash and $868,000 DVAs.

As described above under “Executive Summary—Executive Transitions,” Mr. Aboaf departed from State Street on February 13, 2025 and did not receive an incentive award for the 2024 performance year. Mr. Aboaf received base salary during 2024 at an annual rate of $700,000.
2024 Target Total Compensation Changes. In light of the new responsibilities assumed by Mr. Ambrosius during 2024, as described in more detail above under “Executive Summary—Executive Transitions,” the HRC increased his target total compensation level from EUR 5,000,000 to EUR 7,000,000, based on the expanded scope of his role and in light of relevant external and internal compensation data. The target adjustment was prorated as of September 1, 2024 and comprised an increase to Mr. Ambrosius’ fixed pay (consisting of base salary and a fixed allowance) from EUR 2,000,000 to EUR 3,150,000 and to his target incentive compensation from EUR 3,000,000 to EUR 3,850,000.

2025 Target Total Compensation Changes. The HRC approved market-based increases to Mr. O’Hanley’s and Mr. Hu’s 2025 target total compensation following a comprehensive review of compensation for their roles in our Compensation Peer Group and the broader market, and taking into consideration other factors, including time in role, internal equity and strong performance over time. The adjustments were each in the form of an increase to target incentive compensation. The HRC approved a target incentive compensation increase for Mr. O’Hanley from $14,800,000 to $16,300,000, resulting in a target total compensation for 2025 of $17,500,000. For Mr. Hu, the HRC approved an increase from $4,800,000 to $5,050,000, resulting in a target total compensation for 2025 of $5,750,000.
Other Elements of Compensation
Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms
Incentive compensation awards to our NEOs are subject to adjustment and recourse mechanisms, including ex ante adjustment, forfeiture and clawback, which may be applied jointly, or separately, as appropriate.
Ex Ante Adjustment. Before incentive compensation awards are made for a given performance year, all awards for our NEOs, including deferred incentive compensation awards and immediate cash incentive compensation, are subject to downward adjustment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The HRC, in its discretion, determines whether this ex ante adjustment is appropriate. The events for which ex ante adjustment may occur include:
if the executive’s actions exposed State Street to significant inappropriate risks, or
if the executive incurred significant or repeated compliance or risk-related violations of State Street’s policies
Forfeiture. Before vesting and delivery to the executive, all deferred incentive compensation awards to our NEOs allow reduction or cancellation of the award, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The HRC, in its discretion, determines whether forfeiture is appropriate. The events for which forfeiture may occur include:
if the executive’s actions exposed State Street to inappropriate risks, including in a supervisory capacity, that resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material losses that are or would be substantial in relation to State Street’s or a relevant business unit’s revenue, capital and overall risk tolerance,
if the executive engaged in fraud, gross negligence or any misconduct, including in a supervisory capacity, that was materially detrimental to the interests or business reputation of State Street or any of its businesses,
if the executive engaged in conduct that constituted a violation of State Street policies and procedures or our Standard of Conduct in a manner which either caused or could have caused reputational harm that is material to State Street or either placed or could have placed State Street at material legal or financial risk, or
if, as a result of a material financial restatement contained in an SEC filing, or miscalculation or inaccuracy in the determination of performance metrics, financial results or other criteria used in determining the amount of the incentive compensation award, the executive would have received a smaller or no award
In addition, all outstanding deferred incentive compensation awards are forfeited if an executive’s employment is terminated by State Street for gross misconduct.
Clawback. All amounts delivered to our NEOs as incentive compensation awards, including deferred incentive compensation awards and immediate cash incentive compensation, are subject to clawback mechanisms providing for the repayment of those amounts, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The HRC, in its discretion, determines whether clawback is appropriate, making that determination within four years (in the case of performance-based RSUs) or three years (in the case of all other incentive compensation awards) of the award’s grant date. The events for which clawback may occur include:
if the executive engaged in fraud or willful misconduct, including in a supervisory capacity, that resulted in financial or reputational harm that is material to State Street and resulted in termination of the executive’s employment
if, as a result of the occurrence of a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the SEC or miscalculation or inaccuracy in financial results, performance metrics, or other criteria used in determining the amount of the incentive compensation award, the executive would have received a smaller or no award, or
if the executive failed to comply with the terms of any covenant not to compete entered into with State Street

Executive Compensation
In addition, in accordance with Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the Company adopted the State Street Compensation Recovery Policy, which applies to incentive-based compensation received after October 2, 2023. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, it will attempt to recover any erroneously awarded compensation that was received by an executive officer to the extent required by Section 303A.14.
All incentive compensation awards are also subject to any compensation recovery or similar requirements under State Street policies and applicable laws, rules and regulations and are interpreted and administered accordingly. This approach is intended to comply with applicable banking regulations and regulatory guidance on incentive compensation.
Retirement Benefits
Our U.S.-based NEOs are eligible to participate in our 401(k) retirement plan available to our U.S.-based employees generally. The plan includes a matching employer contribution of up to 6%, further capped at Internal Revenue Code limits. Mr. Ambrosius holds a balance in a now-frozen defined benefit arrangement, which is described in further detail under the heading “2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”
Deferred Compensation
We maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows our U.S. NEOs and other senior U.S. employees to defer base salary and/or a portion of incentive compensation awards otherwise payable in immediate cash. In 2024, Messrs. Aboaf and Hu deferred compensation under this plan. State Street matches all deferrals made under this plan up to a maximum of 5% of a participant’s match-eligible compensation, comprising the lesser of (i) base salary plus immediately payable annual cash incentive compensation or (ii) $500,000, in either case reduced by the applicable Internal Revenue Code cap on annual compensation ($345,000 in 2024). Participants receive a return based on one or more notional investment options selected by the participant. Currently, the investment options include a money market fund, a State Street ESOP fund and three index funds. This nonqualified deferred compensation plan supplements deferrals made under our tax-qualified 401(k) plan. We provide these nonqualified deferred compensation benefits because many companies of our size provide a similar benefit to their senior employees. This plan is described under the heading “2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”
Perquisites
We provide our NEOs with modest perquisites, such as annual physicals and personal liability coverage. In addition, the Board provided Mr. O’Hanley with an executive security package consisting of a car and driver and other security benefits. These security measures, along with the parking benefits provided to our NEOs and the car provided to Mr. Ambrosius (a customary benefit provided to our leaders in Germany), promote the effectiveness of our senior executives, allowing them greater opportunity to focus their attention on our business operations and activities. In limited circumstances, our NEOs have combined personal travel with business travel, generally at no incremental cost to us. We do not provide a tax gross-up for the income attributable to any perquisite for our NEOs, other than for a small meal allowance provided as a customary benefit to all employees in Germany including to Mr. Ambrosius, and certain international assignment and relocation benefits.
Change-of-Control Agreements
Under a long-standing program, we have change-of-control employment agreements in place with each of our NEOs. We provide these agreements because we believe providing some protection in the event of a change of control is necessary to attract and retain high quality executives and to help address potential distractions during the period leading up to a possible change of control. Our change-of-control arrangements are further described under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control as of December 31, 2024.”

Peer Groups and Compensation Market Data
The HRC periodically reviews peer group data as an input into its compensation oversight decisions:
Peer Group
Purpose
Compensation Peer Group
Comprises 19 companies with which we compete in some aspects of our businesses and for executive talent, as outlined below
Compensation data used as one factor in determining executive compensation and in structuring the design of the executive compensation program
KBW Bank Index
As of January 1, 2024, comprised State Street, our Direct Peers and 21 other constituents with which we competed in some aspects of our businesses
Relative financial performance reviewed as one factor in the HRC's evaluation of overall financial performance. Detail on this relative performance comparison is provided under “2024 Compensation—Corporate Performance—Financial Performance”
Performance-based RSUs granted for the 2024 performance year are subject to modification based on three-year relative TSR as described under “Compensation Vehicles— Performance-Based RSU Design”
The Compensation Peer Group provides a reference for setting top executive target pay levels, making actual pay decisions, reviewing compensation design and comparing State Street’s relative pay and performance to market. The HRC uses benchmarking derived from publicly-sourced compensation data for this group, supplemented with data from multiple compensation surveys, and guidance from the HRC’s independent compensation consultant to understand market compensation levels for executives in comparable roles and executive pay practices, including program design and pay mix.
The HRC considers few companies to be true comparators for the specific scope of our primary business activities, so we include in our Compensation Peer Group our Direct Peers (The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and Northern Trust Corporation) and other companies with which we compete in some aspects of our businesses and for executive talent. The companies vary in size, business lines, the nature of executive roles and applicable regulation, including status (like State Street) as a systemically important financial institution, which results in more stringent capital or other regulatory requirements relative to some of our peers. Therefore, the HRC did not treat Compensation Peer Group data as definitive when determining executive compensation for 2024. Rather, it referenced this data, but formed its own perspective on compensation for our NEOs based on its subjective evaluation of many factors, including those described under the heading “Performance and Compensation Decisions—Total Compensation Approach.” In addition to the survey data, the HRC received regular updates during 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 regarding market trends and compensation actions at major financial services institutions.

Executive Compensation
Compensation Peer Group Changes for 2024. The HRC’s 2024 Compensation Peer Group review included an evaluation of relevant industry sectors; peer size, including revenue, assets and market capitalization; business model; and regulatory oversight. In reviewing the peer group for 2024, the HRC focused on the following:
State Street’s current business model and strategic direction;
Maintaining a balance of size relative to State Street, which can be expressed by assets, market capitalization and revenues; and
Continuing to include companies with which State Street competes for executive talent and that must comply with similar regulatory requirements
Accordingly, the HRC approved the removal of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. from our Compensation Peer Group. As a result, the Compensation Peer Group approved by the HRC for the 2024 performance year consisted of the following firms:


*Indicates firms in our Compensation Peer Group which are designated as global systemically important financial institutions for 2024
Roles of the HRC and the CEO
The HRC is responsible for our executive officer compensation plans and programs. The HRC performs these responsibilities for the CEO in consultation with the other independent directors. In assessing performance and compensation for our Other NEOs, the HRC considers the CEO’s recommendations, as well as input from the other independent directors, and then makes final compensation decisions.
The HRC met eight times from July 2024 through March 2025 regarding matters within its remit, including 2024 NEO compensation and related topics, and evaluated a broad range of corporate performance factors, individual performance updates, market information, regulatory updates and input from our shareholder engagement efforts, as well as our pay-for-performance practices and the results of our annual shareholder meeting, including “Say on Pay” results. The HRC also considered evolving trends, practices, guidance and requirements in the design, regulation, risk alignment and governance of compensation matters in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. During these meetings, the HRC received regular updates, including from the HRC’s independent compensation consultant, on these and other matters, particularly with respect to the financial services industry.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
The HRC retains Meridian Compensation Partners to provide independent compensation consulting to the Board. Meridian regularly participated in meetings and executive sessions of the HRC. Meridian did not provide any other services to State Street in 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive Compensation
The HRC believes the consultant’s primary representatives advising it should be independent for the consultant to provide appropriate advice on compensation matters. Therefore, the HRC maintains a policy requiring an annual assessment of compensation consultant independence based on the requirements of the NYSE. In December 2024, the HRC reviewed the independence of Meridian and its primary representatives under the policy, and determined the primary representatives of Meridian to be independent and that no conflicts of interest were raised by the services of Meridian or its primary representatives.
The HRC reviews data prepared by Willis Towers Watson PLC and McLagan Partners as part of its consideration of compensation matters. Each of these companies, engaged by our Global Human Resources group based on its specialized expertise in the financial services industry, has provided other services to State Street in the past and may do so in the future.
Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code generally limits to $1 million the U.S. federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to certain employees. The HRC believes that shareholder interests are best served by not restricting its discretion and flexibility in structuring compensation programs, even though such programs result in non-deductible compensation expenses. Therefore, the HRC has approved 2024 compensation for our NEOs that will not be fully deductible.
HRC Process Concerning Risk Alignment
The HRC is focused on aligning incentive compensation with risk management principles. We provide incentives that are designed not to encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking, and we maintain related process controls and oversight. These features include:
HRC Interaction and Overlap with the Risk Committee (RC) and Examining and Audit Committee (E&A). Members of the HRC regularly communicate with the RC and the E&A to integrate input from these other committees into compensation decisions. The HRC Chair also serves on the E&A and another member of the HRC serves on the RC. In addition, our Lead Director, who serves as a member of the HRC, participates in meetings of the RC and the E&A as part of her leadership role on the Board.
Corporate Risk Summary Review. The HRC periodically reviews an assessment of firm-wide risk, prepared by the CRO and confirmed by the RC.
Annual Compensation Risk Review. The HRC annually meets with our Chief Human Resources Officer, CRO and Chief Compliance Officer to evaluate our compensation programs and review an assessment of the design and operation of State Street’s incentive compensation system in providing risk-taking incentives that are consistent with the organization’s safety and soundness, as described in more detail under the heading “Alignment of Incentive Compensation and Risk.”
Risk-Based Adjustments to Incentive Compensation Awards. We use a two-pronged process for risk-based adjustments to incentive compensation awards for our NEOs. This process allows for, as appropriate, both: (1) adjustments at the time awards are made (“ ex ante ” adjustments) and (2) adjustments after the awards are made (“ ex post ” adjustments) through recoupment of incentive compensation that has already been awarded, where applicable, via forfeiture (before vesting and delivery) or clawback (after vesting and delivery). For more detail, see the discussion under “Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms.”
Emphasis on Deferral and Equity-Based Compensation. We maintain significant levels of deferred and equity-based compensation for our executives to align each executive’s compensation with the risks and performance results experienced by our shareholders, and the proportion of our NEOs’ incentive compensation delivered in the form of deferred compensation continues to place a significant amount of compensation at risk for ex post adjustments in specified circumstances.
Metrics and Targets and Payout Levels for Performance-Based RSUs Designed to Drive Long-Term Strategy. We deliver a substantial proportion of equity compensation for our executives in performance-based RSUs, using metrics designed to drive our long-term strategy. Each year, we assess target and payout ranges for new performance-based RSU awards and set them at levels that the HRC believes are appropriate to incentivize our executives to achieve our strategic goals and enhance long-term shareholder value, while not creating incentives for excessive risk-taking. In setting targets and payout ranges, the HRC considers publicly-stated guidance and projections and current-year results, among other factors.

Executive Equity Ownership Guidelines, Practices and Policies
We believe executive stock ownership aligns our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. It also incentivizes our executives to meet our financial, business and risk management objectives. Therefore, we maintain the following practices, policies and guidelines:
Stock Ownership Guidelines. Our stock ownership guidelines apply to all of our executive officers who are members of our management Executive Committee, including our NEOs. These guidelines require executives to own shares of common stock with a value equal to a multiple of base salary as shown below. Guideline levels are phased-in over a period of five years, with the first year starting on January 1 after the executive officer becomes subject to the guidelines. The executive officer is expected to attain the ownership level ratably over five years and is deemed to satisfy the guideline if that ratable ownership level is met.
Our stock ownership guidelines also include a holding requirement. Under this requirement, during the five-year phase-in period, each executive officer must hold 50% of the net shares received from a vesting event if the ownership requirement is not met. Following the phase-in period, if the ownership guideline is not met, that executive officer must hold 100% of the number of net shares received from a vesting event until the ownership guideline is satisfied.

The level of ownership was calculated on March 3, 2025, which is used for the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management Table,” and by reference to the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on that date. Ownership includes shares directly owned and DSAs (on an estimated after-tax basis), shares held under our 401(k) retirement plan, vested shares in other State Street retirement plans and certain indirectly held shares, but excludes unearned performance-based RSUs. This calculation differs from that under applicable SEC rules for purposes of the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management Table.” As of March 3, 2025, the holding requirement does not apply to Ms. Hung or Mr. O’Hanley, as each exceeded their full (not ratable) ownership guideline. Mr. Ambrosius and Mr. Hu joined our management Executive Committee in January 2024 and November 2021, respectively, and exceeded their respective ratable ownership guideline but not the full ownership guideline as of March 3, 2025. As a result, Messrs. Ambrosius and Hu are subject to the holding requirement described above. Because Mr. Aboaf ceased serving as an executive officer on February 13, 2025, he was not subject to the Stock Ownership Guidelines as of March 3, 2025.
Securities Trading Policy ; No Hedging, Pledging or Speculative Trading; Rule 10b5-1 Plans. State Street has a Securities Trading Policy that contains specific provisions and trading restrictions. The policy assists our directors, executive officers and other designated employees with access to sensitive information in complying with U.S. federal securities laws when trading in State Street securities. The policy prohibits the following in State Street securities: short selling, engaging in options trading or hedging transactions, pledging as collateral and engaging in speculative trading by directors and executive officers, as well as by other members of their household and their dependent family members, and certain accounts or entities over which the person has a control or a beneficial interest. The policy permits individuals, including our NEOs, to enter into trading plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 10b5-1 allows executives to prearrange sales of their company’s securities in a manner designed to avoid initiating stock transactions while in possession of material non-public information. Our NEOs and other executive officers may, from time to time, adopt trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 and effect transactions in our securities under those plans. With regard to the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is the Company’s policy to comply with the federal securities laws and applicable NYSE requirements. The Securities Trading Policy is in addition to the requirement in our Standard of Conduct that all employees’ trading activities must be in compliance with applicable law and may not be made on the basis of material non-public information. In addition, the Standard of Conduct prohibits all employees from engaging in options, hedging or short sales involving securities issued by State Street, and provides that anything beyond simple purchases or sales of State Street stock is strictly prohibited.

Equity Grant Guidelines. The HRC’s Equity Grant Guidelines are described below:
Annual Equity-Based Grants. Annual grants of equity-based incentive compensation awards to our employees are typically made by the HRC on the date of a scheduled meeting of the HRC or the Board of Directors to be held in February or March of each year following the public release of financial results for the prior fiscal year. Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, and subject to any limitations that the Board or HRC may establish, another committee of the Board (which may consist of a single member) may make annual grants to persons other than executive officers on the date of the scheduled meeting in February or March.
Other Equity-Based Grants. Grants of equity to NEOs and other executive officers in connection with new hires, promotions, special recognition, retention or other special circumstances are made by the HRC. Equity grants to other individuals may be made either by the HRC or, subject to any limitations that the Board or the HRC may establish, a committee of the Board composed of (1) the Chairman of the Board, (2) the Chief Executive Officer, if a member of the Board, (3) the HRC Chair or (4) the HRC Chair along with any other member of the HRC. This type of grant may be made on the date of a scheduled meeting of the HRC, a scheduled meeting of the Board or the last business day of a calendar month.
The exercise price for any stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) will be the NYSE closing price of State Street’s common stock on the grant date. We did not award any stock options or SARs as part of 2024 compensation.
There was no program, plan or practice of timing equity-based incentive compensation awards in coordination with the release of material non-public information , other than to set the February 2025 HRC meeting at which 2024 awards were granted to follow the public announcement of periodic financial results and other information in early 2025.

Alignment of Incentive Compensation and Risk
We align incentive compensation with appropriate risk management principles, such as providing incentives designed not to encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and establishing additional process controls and oversight where appropriate. We utilize broad and integrated processes to maintain this alignment, including as follows:
Risk-Based Review of Incentive Plan Design
Incentive compensation arrangements are designed through consultation with the relevant business units, including a formalized requirement for risk review
A management committee (the Incentive Compensation Control Committee, or ICCC), comprising generally senior representatives of our risk management, human resources and internal control functions, assesses all incentive compensation arrangements to promote their consistency with the safety and soundness of State Street and with applicable regulations and guidance
Both the HRC and a management committee focusing on compliance program oversight (the Compliance Program Oversight Committee) receive and review a report containing the ICCC’s risk assessment of the design and operation of State Street’s incentive compensation system in providing incentives consistent with the organization’s safety and soundness
The HRC interacts closely with our Risk Committee and Examining and Audit Committee, and our independent Lead Director is expected to attend all Committee meetings, providing governance continuity from both a compensation-risk perspective and also from a broader risk management perspective. The HRC also annually meets with our Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Risk Officer and Chief Compliance Officer to evaluate the incentive compensation plans for all State Street employees, including the NEOs, relative to risk management principles
Identification of Material Risk-Takers
Through a process led by our Enterprise Risk Management group, we identify the population of individuals whose normal activities may involve material risk-taking (“material risk-takers”)
Our internal compensation arrangements with these employees provide for risk-based adjustments to compensation if required, as described below
State Street — 2025 Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement
62

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Executive Compensation Information
Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for Material Risk Takers
Incentive compensation awarded to material risk-takers is subject to risk-based adjustments both before and after the compensation is awarded ( ex ante and ex post adjustments, respectively)
Ex ante adjustments are guided by a risk assessment, prepared by the CRO and confirmed by the Risk Committee, evaluating firm-wide risk in several categories
Ex post adjustments include a forfeiture provision, which operates to reduce or cancel the amount remaining to be paid under the relevant award if the HRC determines that the actions of the material risk-taker exposed State Street to inappropriate risks that resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material losses that are or would be substantial in relation to State Street’s or a relevant business unit’s revenue, capital and overall risk tolerance
Additional ex post adjustment mechanisms, including misconduct and financial restatement-related forfeiture and clawback provisions, are applicable to all Executive Vice Presidents, including our NEOs. As a material risk-taker located in Germany, Mr. Ambrosius is also subject to further ex ante and ex post adjustment mechanisms under relevant remuneration regulations
Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for All Employees
Results of business unit- and corporate function-level risk assessments are used as an input to allocate bonus pools to each business unit and corporate function, as well as for further sub-allocations
Poor risk performance, including significant or repeated compliance or risk-related violations of State Street’s policies, may result in ex ante adjustments to an individual’s incentive compensation as part of a progressive discipline structure to hold individual employees accountable for their performance
All outstanding deferred incentive compensation awards are subject to forfeiture if an employee is terminated for gross misconduct
Board Committee Review of Selected Control Function Compensation
Committees of the Board with oversight of an area managed by specific control functions assess the performance of, and individual compensation recommendations for, the heads of the relevant control function and review the compensation for the entire control function
Results of the Board-level Committee assessments are reported to the HRC as an input into final compensation determinations
This process provides the relevant Committee with additional perspective on the performance of the relevant control function and whether that function is being allocated appropriate resources and compensation
As a result of these reviews and processes, we believe that our compensation policies and practices for employees do not promote excessive risk-taking and do not provide incentives to create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Reflects a cash sign-on award of $1,500,000 and a deferred value award (DVA) of $3,000,000 that Ms. Hung received in 2023 in connection with her commencement of employment at State Street on December 5, 2022.
(3)
Amounts represent the grant date fair value of CRSUs, DSAs and performance-based RSUs. The fair value of each award is computed in accordance with GAAP (FASB ASC 718), using the assumptions stated in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The amounts included for the 2024 performance-based RSUs reflect target level performance, as reflected in the “2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table. Based on the grant date fair value and assuming that performance results in the maximum number of shares vesting, each NEO’s 2024 performance-based RSUs would have a maximum payout as follows: Mr. O’Hanley – 128,870 shares and value of $8,325,002; Mr. Aboaf – 57,632 shares and value of $3,723,027; Mr. Ambrosius – 11,918 shares and value of $703,895; Mr. Hu – 37,895 shares and value of $2,448,017; and Ms. Hung – 72,446 shares and value of $4,680,012. Based on the grant date fair value and assuming that performance results in the maximum number of shares vesting, each previously disclosed NEO’s 2023 performance-based RSUs would have a maximum payout as follows: Mr. O’Hanley – 128,588 shares and value of $10,125,019; Mr. Aboaf – 55,626 shares and value of $4,379,991; and Mr. Hu – 36,576 shares and value of $2,879,994. Based on the grant date fair value and assuming that performance results in the maximum number of shares vesting, each previously disclosed NEO’s 2022 performance-based RSUs would have a maximum payout as follows: Mr. O’Hanley – 143,414 shares and value of $11,643,783; and Mr. Aboaf – 51,213 shares and value of $4,157,983.
(4)
Represents the immediate and deferred cash (granted in DVAs) portions of incentive compensation, as well as any dividends credited on DVAs outstanding during 2024, as shown in the table below. DVAs are units that receive a notional investment return of a money market instrument. During the deferral period, DVAs are credited with additional notional units based on the return of the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund if the monthly dividend rate is at least equal to 0.001 per unit. These dividends vest and are paid at the same time and in the same form as the related DVA unit.

Because our deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market earnings, no earnings are included in this column. The amounts in this column represent the change in the actuarial present value of the accumulated benefits under the Versorgungsplan für die Mitarbeiter der State Street GmbH Munich (“State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan”). The State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan is a defined benefit pension plan with on-going benefit accruals; it is frozen to new participants. For 2024, the change in value presented in the Summary Compensation Table above reflects a year-over-year update to applicable actuarial calculation assumptions from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024, including an increase in the discount rate assumption as well as formula-driven changes due to an additional year of age and service. These updates resulted in an increase in the actuarial present value of Mr. Ambrosius’s benefits totaling $122,088, of which a $280,253 increase is attributable to additional age and service, offset by a $158,165 decrease attributable to changes in assumptions. The change in pension value presented in the Summary Compensation Table above represents actuarial calculations based upon assumptions on the relevant dates to the extent relevant factors are unknown. The actuarial present value of the accumulated pension benefits calculated on future dates may increase or decrease, based on assumptions applicable on those future dates and on formula-driven changes due to Mr. Ambrosius’s age and service at that time.

The Board approved an executive security package for Mr. O’Hanley that includes a car and driver and residential security. The aggregate incremental cost of the car and driver for 2024 was $42,674, calculated by allocating the total cost of the car and driver between non-business and business use by mileage traveled. The aggregate incremental cost of residential security was $1,413, reflecting amounts invoiced for alarm monitoring and maintenance. In addition, the Company conducted an independent security study for Mr. O’Hanley at a cost of $14,500.
(B)
Company contributions to savings plans: (1) $20,700 to the Salary Savings Program (SSP) for Messrs. O’Hanley, Aboaf and Hu and Ms. Hung; and (2) $7,750 to the Management Supplemental Savings Plan (MSSP) for Messrs. Aboaf and Hu.
(C)
Messrs. O’Hanley, Aboaf and Hu and Ms. Hung each directed contributions of $25,000 under our Executive Leadership program, which allows Executive Vice Presidents and above serving on non-profit boards to annually recommend a financial contribution from the State Street Foundation to the non-profit. In addition, matching contributions were made in the name of Mr. O’Hanley ($40,000), Mr. Aboaf ($35,000), Mr. Hu ($30,000) and Ms. Hung ($22,250) under our matching gift program, which will match contributions made by employees to eligible charitable and educational organizations in accordance with specified annual limits.
(D)
Includes $10,200 for parking benefits for Messrs. O’Hanley and Hu; and $2,405 for personal liability coverage and $3,161 for an executive health screening available to each NEO. Mr. Ambrosius receives access to office parking at no aggregate incremental cost to the Company. For Mr. Hu, includes $35,708 for relocation benefits (including $21,210 for family expenses, and a tax gross-up of $14,498). For Ms. Hung, includes $24,090 for relocation benefits (including $13,939 for family expenses, and a tax gross-up of $10,151). For Mr. Ambrosius, includes $12,148 for life and accident insurance, capital-forming benefits and meal allowance. The Company provides its German executives with use of a company car. For Mr. Ambrosius, the cost of that car was $65,304 during 2024.
The table above otherwise does not include any amounts for personal travel in connection with business travel by our NEOs because such travel had no aggregate incremental cost to the Company.

Narrative Disclosure Accompanying Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
The awards set forth in the “Estimated Possible Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column of the 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table above were the cash-based portion of the target and maximum (200% of target) incentive compensation awards that were granted as part of 2024 incentive compensation. The actual cash-based incentive compensation awards earned by each NEO are included in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. DVAs granted in February 2025 under the State Street Corporation Supplemental Cash Incentive Plan for 2024 performance are deferred cash units that are treated as notionally invested in the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund and receive dividends when the monthly dividend rate is at least equal to 0.001 per unit. These awards vest in quarterly installments over four years from the date of grant.
The CRSUs set forth in the “All Other Stock Awards” column of the 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table were awarded to Mr. O’Hanley as a component of his 2023 performance year incentive compensation. These awards vest in 12 quarterly installments (50% in three equal installments beginning in May 2024 and the balance in nine equal installments from February 2025 to February 2027). CRSUs are paid in cash upon vesting, and the vesting price is based on the average closing price of our common stock during the 30 trading days occurring on or immediately prior to the applicable vesting date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Executive Compensation Information
The awards set forth in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column of the 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table are performance-based RSUs. These awards were granted in 2024 as a component of each NEO’s 2023 performance year incentive compensation. The percent at which these awards are earned will be determined based on the core performance matrix over a three-year performance period (January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026): (a) the simple average of each calendar year’s pre-tax margin; and (b) the compound annual growth rate for fee revenue, with each subject to adjustment by the Human Resources Committee for pre-established factors, then as modified by two performance metrics: (x) State Street’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) versus the KBW Bank Index over the performance period and (y) return on equity (ROE) over the performance period, as adjusted by the Human Resources Committee for pre-established factors. For pre-tax margin and fee revenue growth, the earned percentage will be determined using bilinear interpolation to adjust between the points shown in the Core Performance Matrix table below. For ROE, linear interpolation will be used between the points shown in the ROE Modifier table below. The relative TSR modifier and ROE modifier shown below are added to the earned percentage outcome calculated based on the core performance matrix to determine the percentage earned. Additionally, for the performance-based RSUs granted to Mr. Ambrosius, the initial percentage earned is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the Company’s EMEA Risk Adjustment Guidelines in effect from time to time. In all cases, the final percentage earned shall range from 0% to 150%.

After certification by the Human Resources Committee following the end of the performance period, earned performance-based RSUs will vest in one installment.
The DSAs set forth in the “All Other Stock Awards” column of the 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for NEOs were awarded in 2024 as a component of each NEO’s 2023 performance year incentive compensation. These awards, other than the DSAs granted to Mr. Ambrosius, vest ratably in annual installments over four years from the date of grant. The DSAs granted to Mr. Ambrosius have three separate vesting schedules: ratably in annual installments over five years from the date of grant; over seven years with 20% per year vesting starting from the third anniversary of the date of grant; or immediately on the date of grant.
All CRSUs, performance-based RSUs, and DSAs were granted under the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. These awards are subject to “double-trigger” change-of-control vesting, such that service-based restrictions lapse and, for the U.S. NEOs, vesting is accelerated if the executive incurs a qualified termination following a change of control. For more details, refer to “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control as of December 31, 2024” below.
All DVAs, CRSUs, performance-based RSUs, and DSAs have a qualifying retirement provision. Under the retirement provision, service-based restrictions lapse after the participant attains the age of 55 and completes five years of service with State Street, with awards continuing to vest according to their original terms. Service-based restrictions lapse on all DVAs, CRSUs and DSAs in the event a participant dies, becomes disabled and terminates employment or is involuntarily terminated without cause, and, for the U.S. NEOs, vesting is accelerated in the event of death or disability. Service-based restrictions lapse on all performance-based RSUs in the event a participant dies or becomes disabled and terminates employment or is involuntarily terminated without cause, but vesting continues according to the original terms.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Executive Compensation Information
None of the CRSUs, performance-based RSUs, or DSAs receive dividends or dividend equivalents. DVAs are credited with notional units based on the return of the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund if the monthly dividend rate is at least equal to 0.001 per unit. These dividends vest and are paid at the same time and in the same form as the related DVA unit.
All incentive compensation awarded to our NEOs is subject to recourse mechanisms, including clawback, forfeiture and ex ante adjustments, as described under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms.”

(1)
Mr. Ambrosius is the only NEO currently eligible to participate in a defined benefit pension plan.
(2)
State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan service is credited from pensionable service date.
(3)
Actuarial assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2024, include the following:

Benefit obligations are determined using a discount rate of 3.75%.

Retirement age is assumed to be normal retirement age (65) as defined by State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan.

No pre-retirement mortality, disability or termination were assumed.
Consistent with valuation assumptions, the form of payment reflected in this December 31, 2024 disclosure is a life annuity with 80% survivor benefits.
Mr. Ambrosius participates in the State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan, a defined benefit pension plan for employees in Germany that was established in 1993, but is frozen to new participants. For participants, the pension benefit is calculated based on the average eligible earnings of the last five years of base salary, the Social Security contribution ceiling of the German state pension system (split benefit formula), and service duration, capped at a maximum of 30 years. The normal retirement age under the State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan is age 65, although earlier retirement options are available. Participants in the State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan are eligible to receive early retirement benefits at age 63 and onwards, with reductions of 0.5% for each month that the early retirement date precedes age 65. Mr. Ambrosius was not eligible for early retirement as of December 31, 2024. For the State Street GmbH Munich Retirement Plan, the statutory vesting provisions are binding, depending on hire date and pension promise date. After a minimum period (which Mr. Ambrosius has completed), partial vesting of benefits applies in case of termination, prorated by accrued service versus possible service at normal retirement age.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Executive Compensation Information
State Street maintains the MSSP for a select group of highly compensated U.S. employees. All NEOs other than Mr. Ambrosius were eligible to participate in 2024. The MSSP provides eligible employees with savings and Company matching contribution opportunities beyond the Internal Revenue Code limits imposed under the tax-qualified Salary Savings Program (SSP). Under the MSSP, eligible employees may elect, prior to the beginning of a year, to defer a whole percentage (a) from 1% to 50% of base salary for the year, and/or (b) from 5% to 100%, of otherwise immediately payable annual cash-based incentives (net of FICA withholding) or a flat dollar amount of at least $1,000.
State Street matched all deferrals made under the MSSP for 2024 up to a maximum of 5% of a participant’s MSSP match-eligible compensation, comprising the lesser of (i) base salary plus immediate cash or (ii) $500,000, in either case reduced by the applicable Internal Revenue Code cap on annual compensation ($345,000 in 2024).
MSSP participants have certain time and form of payment options for their deferrals. They may elect to receive a lump sum payment either (i) on the first business day of the month following the six-month anniversary of the participant’s termination of employment, or (ii) on a specified date that falls at least three years from the election date; if, however, termination of employment occurs before the specified date, the lump sum is paid on the first business day of the month following the six-month anniversary of the participant’s termination of employment. Participants may also elect to receive deferrals in installments over two to ten years commencing on the six-month anniversary of the participant’s termination of employment. Participants may change distribution elections consistent with the conditions and limitations set forth in the MSSP and tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation. Company contributions are automatically paid in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the six-month anniversary of the participant’s termination of employment. A participant’s account is payable in a lump sum upon death or disability. A participant who experiences a severe and unanticipated financial need may request a withdrawal of amounts deferred under the plan subject to certain restrictions.
A bookkeeping account is maintained for each participant in the MSSP. MSSP holdings reflect increases or decreases based on the performance of notional investments selected by the participant. The notional investments selected by NEO participants for 2024 and the rate of return for the year were as set forth below. The notional investments selected by our NEO participants are also investment options offered under the SSP.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control as of December 31, 2024
Shown and described below are certain potential payments that would have been made to an NEO if the NEO’s employment had terminated on December 31, 2024 under various scenarios. In all cases, the summaries below exclude pension benefits or nonqualified deferred compensation that may be paid to an NEO upon termination as described in the “2024 Pension Benefits” and “2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” sections. All U.S. severance payments due to NEOs identified as “specified employees” following a separation from service are delayed until six months after separation in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our NEOs do not receive any payments or continued vesting of deferred incentive compensation awards if their employment is terminated for gross misconduct, and all deferred incentive compensation awards are forfeited if an NEO voluntarily terminates employment prior to reaching age 55 and completing five years of service. Messrs. O’Hanley and Aboaf had satisfied this retirement provision as of December 31, 2024. In addition, all outstanding deferred incentive compensation awards shown below remain subject to our recourse mechanisms described under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms.” The tables below are intended only for illustrative purposes; the rights and benefits due to any NEO upon an actual termination of employment or change of control can only be determined at the time of the payment, based on circumstances then existing and the arrangements then in effect.

The DSAs, CRSUs, unearned performance-based RSUs and DVAs shown in the columns for Retirement, Death, Disability and Involuntary Termination without Cause are valued as follows:
DSAs and CRSUs: Represents the value of outstanding awards based on the closing share price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2024 ($98.15), except for Death and Disability in relation to CRSUs granted in 2023 and 2024, for which the value is based on the average closing price of our common stock during the 30 trading days occurring on or immediately prior to December 31, 2024 ($98.16).
Performance-based RSUs: Represents the value of 2022 performance-based RSUs, which were earned at 61.5% of target, plus the estimated value of unearned performance-based RSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 based on Company ROE performance, pre-tax margin performance, fee revenue growth and relative TSR through December 31, 2024 and performance at 100% of target for future years, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2024 ($98.15). The actual percent at which the 2023 and 2024 awards are earned will be determined at the end of the three-year performance period.
DVAs: Represents the value of outstanding DVAs as of December 31, 2024.
Outstanding DSAs, outstanding CRSUs, unearned performance-based RSUs and outstanding DVAs granted to U.S. NEOs include post-termination restrictive covenants concerning non-competition for a period of 12 months; non-solicitation for a period of 18 months; and ongoing obligations of confidentiality and non-disparagement.
Outstanding DSAs, unearned performance-based RSUs and outstanding DVAs granted to Mr. Ambrosius in 2024 are subject to ongoing obligations of confidentiality and non-disparagement.
(2)
Retirement: For purposes of the deferred incentive compensation awards (DSAs, CRSUs, performance-based RSUs and DVAs), a qualifying retirement requires attainment of age 55 and completion of five years of service at State Street.
Deferred incentive compensation awards: Service-based restrictions lapse and the awards continue to vest according to their original terms.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Executive Compensation Information
Health & welfare benefits: State Street provides U.S. NEOs a retiree medical benefit if the NEO was participating in the State Street medical plan at the time of retirement. Retirement eligible U.S. NEOs would pay the full cost of the retiree medical coverage at State Street’s retiree group rate. The table does not include any amount for this benefit because there is no incremental cost to State Street.
(3)
Death:
Deferred incentive compensation awards: For all NEOs, service-based restrictions lapse. For U.S. NEOs, the vesting of DSAs, CRSUs and DVAs is accelerated, while performance-based RSUs continue to vest according to their original terms. For Mr. Ambrosius, all deferred incentive compensation awards continue to vest according to their original terms.
Health & welfare benefits: For U.S. NEOs, State Street will bear the full cost of health and welfare insurance for the NEO’s spouse / domestic partner and/or dependents for a one-year period if the NEO and family were participating in State Street’s health and welfare plans at the time of death.

Termination due to Disability:
Deferred incentive compensation awards: For all NEOs, service-based restrictions lapse. For U.S. NEOs, vesting is accelerated for DVAs, CRSUs and DSAs upon a termination due to disability, while performance-based RSUs continue to vest according to their original terms. For Mr. Ambrosius, all deferred incentive compensation awards continue to vest according to their original terms.
(5)
Involuntary Termination without Cause: Our U.S. NEOs are covered by State Street’s U.S. Severance Plan. The U.S. Severance Plan provides benefits to all eligible employees upon specified involuntary separations from service due to an organizational change, such as a reduction in force. The U.S. Severance Plan requires employees to execute a separation agreement and release acceptable to State Street in order to receive benefits under the plan. Amounts above assume a qualifying termination of employment on December 31, 2024. For these purposes, the severance amounts are not discounted for payment over time, and health and welfare benefits are valued at 2024 rates.
Cash severance: The U.S. Severance Plan provides for a cash payment amount equal to a specified number of weeks of base salary based on employment title. For all eligible U.S. employees who hold an Executive Vice President title, including our NEOs, the plan provides for a severance period equal to three weeks of base salary per completed year of service with a minimum of 12 weeks and a maximum of 52 weeks of base salary. Severance benefits are subject to the employee’s compliance with restrictive covenants that are determined at the time of separation, but typically include non-solicitation for a period of 18 months following termination and an ongoing obligation of confidentiality and non-disparagement. Mr. Ambrosius is not entitled to formulaic cash severance upon termination; however, the maximum severance to which he would be entitled under local regulations is estimated to be equal to his current base salary until the standard retirement age of 67.
Deferred incentive compensation awards: Service-based restrictions lapse and the awards continue to vest according to their original terms.
Current year incentive compensation: Under the U.S. Severance Plan, employees are eligible to receive an additional lump sum cash severance payment equal to 25% of the employee’s prior year incentive compensation award for a termination occurring on December 31, 2024. Mr. Ambrosius is not entitled to formulaic incentive compensation under the State Street Corporation Incentive Compensation Program; however, the maximum current year incentive compensation to which he would be entitled under local regulations is estimated to be equal to his actual incentive compensation award for the 2024 performance year, as described under the heading “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Individual Compensation Decisions Summary.”
Health & welfare benefits: The U.S. Severance Plan provides for continued participation in State Street’s health and welfare benefit plan for the severance period at active employee rates and with continued coverage after the severance period, paid in full by the employee, subject to timely enrollment in COBRA. In Germany, health and welfare benefits end when the employee is terminated.
Outplacement services: Personal outplacement and career consulting services by a third-party provider.
(6)
Termination in Connection with Change of Control: Calculations assume a change of control occurred on December 31, 2024 and a qualifying termination of employment entitling the NEO to the specified benefits occurred on that date (double-trigger mechanism). For additional details regarding a termination in connection with change of control, refer to the “Change of Control” section below.
Cash Severance: A lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of base salary and the prior year’s cash-based incentive (immediate cash and DVAs), subject to a maximum of $10 million.
DSAs and CRSUs: For all NEOs, the service-based restrictions lapse and for the U.S. NEOs, vesting is accelerated. The value of outstanding DSAs and CRSUs is based on the closing share price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2024 ($98.15), except that for CRSUs granted in 2023 and 2024, the value is based on the average closing price of our common stock during the 30 trading days occurring on or immediately prior to December 31, 2024 ($98.16).
Performance-based RSUs: For all NEOs, the service-based restrictions lapse on unearned performance-based RSUs and for U.S. NEOs, vesting is accelerated. The estimated value of unearned performance-based RSUs is calculated as follows:
i)
Performance-based RSUs granted in 2022 are based on actual Company ROE performance and pre-tax margin performance for 2022 and 2023 and 100% of target for 2024.
ii)
Performance-based RSUs granted in 2023 are based on actual Company ROE performance, pre-tax margin performance and fee revenue growth for 2023 and 100% of target for 2024 and 2025.
iii)
Performance-based RSUs granted in 2024 are based on 100% of target for 2024 - 2026.

Performance-based RSUs performance has not been certified and is therefore subject to adjustment based on the terms of the relevant awards. The actual amount of the payout would be based on satisfaction of the performance criteria as certified by the HRC following a change of control. Performance-based RSUs are valued using an “adjusted fair market value” ($100.55), which is the highest average of the reported daily high and low prices per share of our common stock on the NYSE during the sixty (60)-day period prior to the first date of actual knowledge by the Board of the circumstances that resulted in a change in control, which is assumed to be December 31, 2024.
DVAs: For all NEOs, service-based restrictions lapse and for the U.S. NEOs, vesting is accelerated.
Current year incentive compensation: The prior year’s cash-based incentive award (immediate cash and DVA) paid to each NEO in February 2024 for the 2023 performance year.
Defined contribution retirement cash equivalent (U.S. NEOs)/Pension benefit (Mr. Ambrosius): A lump sum payment equal to two times State Street’s annual contributions to the defined contribution retirement plans applicable to the U.S. NEOs, and two times the increase in pension value for Mr. Ambrosius.
Health & welfare benefits: Continued employee health and welfare benefits for two years after the date of termination.
Outplacement services: Personal outplacement and career consulting services by a third-party provider.
Assumes zero for the legal fee benefit in connection with the enforcement of the NEO’s rights under the agreement.
Change of Control
State Street has entered into change-of-control agreements with each of our NEOs. Each agreement has a two-year term that automatically extends for an additional year at the end of each calendar year, unless State Street gives notice of nonrenewal with at least 60 days’ advance notice. The agreements become effective upon a change of control of State Street or upon a termination of employment arising in connection with or in anticipation of such change of control. A change of control is defined to include:
The acquisition of 25% or more of our outstanding stock;
The failure of incumbent directors (or their designated successors) to constitute a majority of the Board;
A reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets in which State Street shareholders do not retain a majority of the voting power of the surviving or successor corporation and incumbent directors do not constitute a majority of the Board; or
Approval by shareholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
Each agreement provides for two years of continued employment after a change of control on terms commensurate with those previously in effect. The cessation of employment under a double-trigger mechanism requires the occurrence of both a change of control and either the termination of employment without cause or by the NEO for good reason during the two-year period.
Each agreement provides that, in the event change-of-control benefits would exceed 110% of the maximum amount that the NEO can receive without any of the payments being subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the golden parachute excise tax), then the value of such benefits shall be either (i) subject to a cutback or (ii) delivered in full, whichever of the foregoing provides the executive the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis (with the NEO required to pay the golden parachute excise tax). If benefits are below the 110% threshold, the NEO would be subject to an automatic cutback to the extent necessary to assure that the change-of-control benefits are not subject to the golden parachute excise tax. Accordingly, assuming a change of control with a double trigger occurred on December 31, 2024, Mr. Aboaf’s benefits are subject to cutbacks and the following payment was eliminated from the table above: cash severance of $1,168,100. Assuming a change of control with a double trigger occurred on December 31, 2024, Messrs. O’Hanley, Ambrosius and Hu and Ms. Hung do not have a cutback to their benefits.
The change-of-control agreements include restrictive covenants concerning non-solicitation for a period of 18 months following termination, and ongoing obligations of confidentiality, cooperation and non-disparagement.
Refer to “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control as of December 31, 2024” table footnote 6 for a detailed description of payments and benefits under a termination in connection with change of control.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP ROE presented in the table above, see Appendix B.
Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of those measures are presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company’s executive compensation program is designed to incentivize long-term performance and shareholder value creation. The Human Resources Committee did not consider the Pay Versus Performance disclosure when making its incentive compensation decisions.
The metrics that the Company uses in determining annual incentive compensation awards and in the payout of our long-term performance-based RSUs are selected based on the objective of incentivizing our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs to increase the value of the Company for our shareholders. The following table lists the four performance measures that we believe represent the most important performance measures we used to link the CAP amounts for our NEOs for 2024 to Company performance, all of which are metrics used in our performance-based RSUs. Of these measures, we identified return on average common equity (non-GAAP), which we refer to as ROE (Non-GAAP) in the table above, as the most important of our financial performance measures.
Return on Average Common Equity (non-GAAP)
Fee Revenue Growth (non-GAAP)
Pre-Tax Margin (non-GAAP)

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table
In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.
Overview. The HRC reviews, evaluates and approves our executive compensation program annually, and designs the program to effectively align pay with performance and shareholder interests over time. The design elements supporting this goal include our use of shareholder return-based metrics in assessing annual financial performance, heavy reliance on deferred equity-based compensation vehicles (substantially delivered in the form of performance-based equity) and the use of relative TSR in our long-term incentive design. In the Pay Versus Performance table above:
Equity-based vehicles comprised 100% of incentive compensation awarded to our PEO in 2024 for the 2023 performance year, 90% in 2023 for the 2022 performance year and in 2022 for the 2021 performance year, 100% in 2021 for the 2020 performance year and 75% in 2020 for the 2019 performance year
Equity-based vehicles comprised 65% of incentive compensation awarded to our Non-PEO NEOs (other than Mr. Ambrosius)* in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 for the 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019 performance years, respectively
*
Equity-based vehicles comprised 60% of incentive compensation awarded to Mr. Ambrosius in 2024 for the 2023 performance year
Because we maintain significant levels of deferred equity-based compensation for our executives, the change in value over time of CAP for our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in the table above is driven primarily by the change in our stock price and our performance against metrics aligned to our long-term strategy contained in our performance-based RSUs.
Relationship between CAP and ROE (non-GAAP). ROE (GAAP) is a component of the HRC’s assessment of annual financial performance, and is one driver of annual pay decisions. Additionally, for awards granted in 2024 and earlier years, ROE (non-GAAP) was a core metric or modifier in our performance-based RSU program, with the potential to impact the value of this long-term equity vehicle over time. As a result, CAP for our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs is influenced by ROE (non-GAAP).

Relationship between CAP and State Street TSR and CAP and Peer Group/KBW Bank Index TSR. TSR, for both State Street itself and relative to the KBW Bank Index, is a component of the HRC’s assessment of financial performance, driving annual pay decisions. For 2024, CAP for our PEO is $28.2 million and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs is $9.8 million, above the SCT compensation of $16.7 million for our PEO and the average SCT compensation of $6.4 million for our Non-PEO NEOs, respectively, consistent with the increase of TSR from 111.4 in 2023 to 145.0 in 2024. For 2023, CAP for our PEO is $10.6 million and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs is $8.0 million, below the SCT compensation of $13.4 million for our PEO and the average SCT compensation of $8.8 million for our Non-PEO NEOs, respectively, despite the slight increase of TSR from 107.6 in 2022 to 111.4 in 2023. For 2022, CAP for our PEO is $10.1 million and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs is $4.7 million, significantly below the SCT compensation of $18.0 million for our PEO and the average SCT compensation of $7.6 million for our Non-PEO NEOs, respectively, consistent with the decline of TSR from 124.7 in 2021 to 107.6 in 2022. For 2021, CAP for our PEO is $22.7 million and average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs is $12.3 million, significantly higher than the SCT compensation of $14.1 million for our PEO and the average SCT compensation of $8.7 million for Non-PEO NEOs, respectively, consistent with the increase of TSR from 95.2 in 2020 to 124.7 in 2021. Additionally, because TSR is substantially driven by equity appreciation or depreciation, and because we maintain significant levels of deferred equity-based compensation for our executives, the increase or decrease in CAP versus SCT compensation is strongly aligned with State Street’s TSR performance, linking CAP to the shareholder experience (i.e., when TSR is flat, CAP and SCT compensation tend to converge, when TSR increases, CAP tends to increase relative to SCT compensation and when TSR declines, SCT compensation tends to decrease relative to CAP).

Relationship between CAP and Net Income (GAAP). Although Net Income (GAAP) is not itself included in our Financial Scorecard, the HRC reviews its primary components, Revenue and Expenses, as well as Net Interest Income on a standalone basis, as part of its annual assessment of financial performance. Likewise, although Net Income (GAAP) is not a metric in our performance-based RSU vehicle, other performance-based RSU metrics, including Pre-Tax Margin and Fee Revenue Growth, are related to Net Income (GAAP). As a result, CAP for our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs is indirectly impacted by Net Income (GAAP).


CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
This section provides an estimate under applicable SEC regulations of the ratio of total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer to the median of total compensation for our other employees. The methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates we used in identifying our median employee and calculating that employee’s total compensation are set forth below. This methodology may differ from that applied by other companies, including other financial services companies, and so the information may not be comparable across companies.
For 2024:
the estimated median of the annual total compensation of all employees of State Street (other than Mr. O’Hanley), was $41,630; and
the annual total compensation of Mr. O’Hanley was $16,715,967.
Based on the foregoing, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. O’Hanley to the median of the annual total compensation of all other employees is estimated to be 402 to 1.
As described in more detail in our 2023 and 2024 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as part of ongoing transformation and productivity initiatives, we assumed full ownership of our two operations joint ventures in India. The approximately 10,000 employees who joined State Street as part of these business combinations in late 2023 and mid 2024 were not included in the calculations for the 2023 CEO Pay Ratio contained in our 2024 Proxy Statement, but are included in the calculations for the 2024 CEO Pay Ratio contained in this proxy statement.
We identified our median employee for 2024 based on our employee population as of October 1, 2024 and used a local currency-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate as of that date to enable a U.S. dollar-based assessment. State Street employees are generally eligible for base pay and incentive compensation. We therefore analyzed our employee population based on these compensation elements for the full year 2024. We annualized the base pay of all full and part-time employees in our employee

population who were hired during 2024. Similarly, for all such employees who did not receive incentive compensation in 2024 due solely to their date of hire, we used a consistent methodology to impute annualized incentive compensation based on each employee’s level and function. We calculated the median gross pay (as described above) and selected the employees within $100 of that value to further analyze. We then identified an employee from this group whose pay was a reasonable estimate of the median pay at our organization as the median employee. For the median employee, we combined all forms of compensation that would have been reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table had disclosure of the median employee’s compensation been required in that table.
For Mr. O’Hanley, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Examining and Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
State Street’s Examining and Audit Committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures applicable to all services provided by State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to which the Committee reviews for approval each particular service expected to be provided. In connection with that review, the Committee is provided with detailed information so that it can make well-reasoned assessments of the impact of the services on the independence of the independent auditor. Pre-approvals could include pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts or a range of cost levels or budgeted amounts. Pre-approval is also required for substantive changes in terms, conditions and fee arrangements resulting from changes in the scope, structure or other items. The pre-approvals include services in categories of audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services permissible under the SEC’s auditor independence rules. The services shown in the table below were approved by the Committee in accordance with these pre-approval policies and procedures.

Services provided under Audit Fees primarily included statutory and financial statement audits, the requirement to opine on the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and accounting consultations billed as audit services. Services provided under Audit-Related Fees consisted principally of reports on the processing of transactions by servicing organizations, non-statutory audits and due diligence procedures. Services provided under Tax Fees consisted principally of compliance and corporate tax advisory services.
In addition to the services described above, EY provides audit and tax compliance services to certain mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and foreign-based private investment funds for which State Street is the sponsor and investment adviser or manager. The mutual funds and ETFs have boards of directors or similar bodies that make their own determinations as to selection of the funds’ audit firms and approval of any fees paid to such firms. In the case of certain foreign-based private investment funds, State Street participates in the selection of the audit firm to provide the audit and tax compliance services. All of the fees for such services are paid by the mutual funds, ETFs and foreign-based private investment funds—not by State Street—and are not included in the table above.

Report of the Examining and Audit Committee
The Examining and Audit Committee consists entirely of members who meet the independence requirements of the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC, as determined by the Board. Further, all of the members of the Committee are financially literate, based upon their education and experience, as such qualification under the listing standards of the NYSE is interpreted by the Board. The Board has determined, based upon education and experience as a principal accounting or financial officer or public accountant, or experience actively supervising a principal accounting or financial officer or public accountant, or other relevant experience, that each member of the Committee satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert,” as set out in the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, and has accounting or related financial management expertise, as such qualification under the listing standards of the NYSE is interpreted by the Board. The Committee operates under a written charter that is reviewed and approved annually by the Board. The Committee furnishes the following report:
On behalf of State Street’s Board, the Committee oversees the operation of a system of internal controls designed to ensure the integrity of State Street’s financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies and the qualifications, performance and independence of State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm. The role of the independent registered public accountant is to independently audit the consolidated financial statements and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or PCAOB. Additionally, the Committee oversees the Company’s efforts to promote and advance a culture of compliance and ethical business practices. It is management’s responsibility to prepare State Street’s consolidated financial statements and establish and maintain internal control over financial reporting. The Committee acts on behalf of the Board in monitoring and overseeing the implementation, independence and performance of State Street’s internal corporate audit function, under the direction of the General Auditor. The General Auditor reports directly to the Examining and Audit Committee (and administratively to State Street’s CEO).
Consistent with this oversight responsibility, the Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. EY, State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued its unqualified report on State Street’s consolidated financial statements and the design and operating effectiveness of State Street’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Committee has discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding EY’s communications with the Committee concerning independence. The Committee has monitored the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided by EY in evaluating the firm’s continued independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions, including meeting at least quarterly with EY and the General Auditor in separate private executive sessions, the Committee recommended to the Board that State Street’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, be included in State Street’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.

Item 3: Ratification of the Selection of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote
FOR
this proposal (Item 3 on your proxy card)
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders approve the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm described below. The Examining and Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. EY has acted as our independent auditor since 1972. We have been advised by EY that it is a registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB and that it complies with the auditing, quality control and independence standards and rules of the PCAOB and the SEC.
Committee Responsibilities and Duties
The Examining and Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the engagement, termination, compensation, retention, evaluation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including the sole authority for the establishment of pre-approval policies and procedures for all audit and non-audit engagements. The Committee also oversees the internal controls and procedures covering the integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes, the preparation, audit and disclosure of financial statements and regulatory reports and the qualifications, performance and independence of State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm. Further, the Committee oversees the internal corporate audit function, compliance program effectiveness and certain of State Street’s sustainability and impact obligations, initiatives and activities, within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities. For more information, see the description in this Proxy Statement of the Examining and Audit Committee under the heading “Committees of the Board of Directors.”
Committee Considerations and Audit Firm Assessment
In connection with the annual appointment of EY, the Committee undertook a comprehensive assessment and review of EY, and considered among other factors:
Whether the retention of EY is in the best interests of State Street and its shareholders
The results of an annual assessment relative to the performance of EY, conducted by management, which includes a survey, interviews and analysis of external public data
EY’s capabilities, particularly with regard to the breadth and complexities of State Street’s business and operations, technical expertise, geographical footprint, knowledge level and quality of service
The recent performance of EY and the lead audit partner, including the quality and timeliness of communication, competence and responsiveness
EY’s tenure with State Street, including the benefits of institutional knowledge
The independence of EY
External data relating to audit quality and performance, including PCAOB reporting, known legal risks and significant proceedings involving EY
The fees incurred by State Street for the services rendered
Committee Role in Lead Partner Rotation
In accordance with SEC rules and EY policies, the lead audit partner must be rotated at least every five years. During this rotation process, the Committee and the Committee Chair are involved in the selection of the lead audit partner by vetting potential candidates, analyzing candidate qualifications and participating in the interview process. The Committee is also consulted regarding the final selection of the lead audit partner.

Item 3: Ratification of the Selection of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Recommendation and Voting
After conducting this annual assessment and taking into consideration, among other things, the benefits of fresh perspective gained through the mandatory lead audit partner rotation, the Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of State Street and its shareholders. For more information, see the discussion in this proxy statement under the heading “Examining and Audit Committee Matters.”
While shareholder ratification of the selection of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required, the Board is submitting the selection of EY to the shareholders for ratification to learn the opinion of shareholders on the selection. Should the selection of EY not be ratified by the shareholders, the Committee will reconsider the matter. Even in the event the selection of EY is ratified, the Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it believes such a change is in the best interests of State Street and its shareholders. Representatives of EY will be present at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions, and they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.

Item 4: Shareholder Proposal
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote
AGAINST
this proposal (Item 4 on your proxy card)
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the shareholder proposal described below. Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board will be voted against the shareholder proposal.
Friends Fiduciary Corporation, 1700 Market Street, Suite 1535, Philadelphia, PA 19103, the beneficial owner for at least one year of more than $25,000 of State Street’s common stock, entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting, has submitted the proposal as set forth below for inclusion in the proxy statement. The Board of Directors, on behalf of State Street, disclaims any responsibility for the content of the proposal and the supporting statement. The text of the proposal and supporting statement, as furnished to us by the proponent, are as follows:
Proposal 4 – Request the State Street Require a Separate and Independent Chair
Resolved: State Street Corporation ("State Street" or "Company") shareholders ask the Board to adopt a policy and amend the bylaws as necessary to require the Chair of the Board of Directors, whenever possible, be an independent member of the Board. This policy should be phased in for the next CEO transition. Compliance is waived if no independent director is available and willing to serve as Chair.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
The role of the CEO and management is to run the Company. The Board of Directors' role is to provide independent oversight of management and the CEO. We believe a CEO cannot be their own overseer while managing the business without potential conflicts of interest.
State Street's CEO, Ronald O'Hanley, serves as CEO and Chair of the Company's Board of Directors. Combining these two roles for one person weakens State Street's governance structure, potentially harming shareholder value. We believe that combining these roles gives the CEO unnecessary additional power over the Board, potentially weakening their authority and oversight of management.
Overseeing the Board is a time-intensive responsibility. A separate and independent Chair leaves the CEO free to manage the Company and build effective business strategies. Mr. O'Hanley is also on the boards of Unum (1) and ABL Space Systems, Inc. (2) , two non-profit organizations (3) , two college/university boards (4) , and a number of other finance-related organizations (5) which also requires time and energy.
With such pressure on our CEO's time, our Company and shareholders would benefit if an independent board member assumed Chair duties.
Intel's former Chair, Andrew Grove stated, "The separation of the two jobs goes to the heart of the conception of a corporation. Is a company a sandbox for the CEO, or is the CEO an employee? If he's an employee, he needs a boss, and that boss is the Board. The Chairman runs the Board. How can the CEO be his own boss?"

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Item 4: Shareholder Proposal
Numerous institutional investors recommend separation as simple good governance. For example, CalPERS' Principles & Guidelines encourage separation, even with a lead director in place. (6) Proxy advisors often recommend votes in favor of shareholder resolutions urging an independent Chair. And in its paper on the 2024 proxy season, Georgeson noted there were 46 proposals asking for a separate chair and these resolutions averaged votes in favor of 31%, as they had in the previous two years. (7)
An independent Chair is the prevailing practice in the United Kingdom and many international markets.
An independent Chair and vigorous Board can improve focus on important ethical and governance matters, strengthen accountability to shareowners and help forge long-term business strategies that best serve the interests of shareholders, consumers, employees, and the Company.
To foster a simple transition, we propose this policy be phased in when the next CEO is chosen. We urge a vote FOR this resolution.

Item 4: Shareholder Proposal
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL
The Board believes that Company and shareholder interests are best served when the Board has the flexibility to determine the most effective leadership structure for the Company based on the Company’s needs and the Board’s regular assessment of the Company’s leadership. After careful consideration during the Board’s annual review of its leadership structure, we continue to believe that the combined Chairman and CEO role, paired with the robust duties of our independent Lead Director, provide an optimal balance of executive leadership and oversight that best serves the interests of the Company and our shareholders at this time. Accordingly, the Board recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the proposal.
We believe it is important to preserve flexibility for the Board to determine the most effective leadership structure for State Street based on the Company’s specific opportunities and circumstances at any given time.
Selecting an appropriate leadership structure is one of the most important tasks of our Board. The Board has deep knowledge of the strategic goals of the Company, the unique opportunities and challenges it faces, its operational and governance processes and the various capabilities of our directors and the Company’s senior management and is therefore best positioned to determine the most effective leadership structure to protect and enhance long-term shareholder value. It is important that directors have the discretion to use their insights, experience and judgment to make decisions with respect to the structure of the Company’s leadership. If the changes requested by the proposal are implemented, going forward, the Board would be constrained in exercising appropriate discretion.
The Board’s leadership structure is reassessed annually as part of the Board’s established governance process.
State Street’s governing documents allow the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO to be filled by the same or different individuals. To determine the appropriate leadership structure of the Board, as part of the Board’s established governance process, State Street’s independent directors annually review and assess the Board’s leadership structure. Directors consider a wide variety of factors in this assessment, including the business knowledge of the CEO, the independence of the other members of the Board and the engagement and experience of leaders on our Board, including the independent Lead Director, and results of the Board’s annual assessment of its own performance and effectiveness. Through this process, the Board tailors its leadership composition based on evolving circumstances and needs that are specific to the Company and that support effective oversight of the Company’s business strategy and operational and risk management, rather than adopting a “one-size-fits-all” approach that may not be appropriate, particularly in light of the highly regulated and complex nature of State Street and its operations.
As described in the “Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight” section beginning on page 11 of this Proxy Statement the board’s leadership structure currently consists of Dame Amelia Fawcett serving as independent Lead Director, and under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the independent Lead Director has clearly defined and robust responsibilities, designed to further ensure oversight of the Company’s management. In addition to her specified responsibilities, Dame Amelia is an actively engaged director who regularly communicates with our Chairman and CEO and other senior leaders on topics of importance to the Company.
The Board believes it is best positioned to determine, based on all relevant facts and circumstances that may exist from time to time, the most effective leadership structure for State Street, and permanently separating the Chairman and CEO functions would result in an unnecessarily inflexible governance structure. As described above, the Board is committed to regularly evaluating its leadership structure to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at present and in the future.
For the foregoing reasons, the Board believes the proposal is neither necessary nor in the best interests of our shareholders and therefore recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the proposal.

Item 5: Shareholder Proposal
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote
AGAINST
this proposal (Item 5 on your proxy card)
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the shareholder proposal described below. Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board will be voted against the shareholder proposal.
Paul Rissman, the beneficial owner for at least three years of more than $2,000 of State Street’s common stock entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting, has submitted the proposal as set forth below for inclusion in the proxy statement. The Board of Directors disclaims any responsibility for the content of the proposal and the supporting statement. The text of the proposal and supporting statement, as furnished to us by the proponent, are as follows:
Resolved : Shareholders request the Board of Directors of State Street Corporation (STT) issue a report disclosing whether and how the Company addresses transition of workers and fairness to communities in its transition finance strategy. At the Board’s discretion, proponent recommends the report cover the potential risks and opportunities related to STT’s transition finance efforts affecting workers and communities.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
Our CEO has emphasized the importance of transition finance — financial support that helps decarbonize high-emitting activities or enables the decarbonization of other economic activities. (1) Managing the human element of this massive climate transition appears as important as technical innovation or development of new physical infrastructure.
Stranded human capital and human rights abuses can generate public resistance to the transition; in contrast, investment in the retraining of people, and demonstrating respect and partnership with communities can ease and accelerate the transition. Whether coal miners losing their jobs in Appalachia or land use and pollution conflict in communities targeted for lithium mining, climate transition faces backlash where the human element is ignored. (2) A study of the Environmental Justice Atlas database found that one quarter of projects opposed by environmental defenders were stopped through protest, litigation and other forms of popular mobilization. (3)
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF) (4) “[t]he green transition… could concentrate job creation in already tight labour markets… deepen[ing] unemployment in some regions while causing labour shortages in others…” WEF notes that this “could fuel social and political upheaval.”
Thus, part of the work of transition finance is to support finance, public policy or other provisions for worker transition such as job retraining and skill development, income support in job transitions, creating new green jobs, and actively planning for economic diversification in affected communities.
The rights of communities are also at stake, such as in regions where mining of minerals critical to the green transition threatens human rights and the environment. Transition strategies must respect human rights, public health and the environment, or they risk community resistance and supply chain disruption.

Item 5: Shareholder Proposal
A 2021 interview with STT’s global head of asset stewardship noted that clarity of expectations around investees’ climate transition plans, including how they take Just Transition into consideration, is an area where STT can improve. (5) Yet there is precious little in STT’s disclosures on this topic, other than mention of a Just Transition engagement with 24 companies in 2022. (6) STT’s 2023 Sustainability Report does not mention Just Transition, climate justice, or environmental justice. (7) This omission is doubly concerning as STT has reduced its support for environmental shareholder resolutions (8) and has terminated its membership in the stewardship coalition Climate Action 100+. STT’s inadequate disclosure impairs investors’ ability to understand how its transition finance plans safeguard shareholder returns.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Item 5: Shareholder Proposal
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL
The Board has carefully considered the proposal and determined that preparing the requested report would not be a valuable use of the Company’s time and resources, as we are not in the business of transition finance. Consistent with the definition of transition finance included in the proposal, the CFA Institute defines transition finance as “any form of financial support that helps decarbonize high-emitting activities or enables the decarbonization of other economic activities.” (1) Neither the Company nor State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) provides traditional commercial loans or other financial support to companies. Accordingly, the Board recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the proposal.
State Street is not engaged in the business of transition finance, thus a report on the Company’s strategy in this regard would not be meaningful.
State Street is a financial holding company that, through its subsidiaries, provides a broad range of financial products and services to institutional investors worldwide through two core business lines: Investment Servicing and Investment Management. Neither of our core business lines engages in transition finance nor provides traditional commercial loans to companies for purposes of transition finance.
While SSGA’s stewardship activities may include engagement with its portfolio companies on topics that may indirectly relate to transition finance, it is not engaged in the business of transition finance.
To the extent the proposal intends to refer to our asset management business, SSGA, the request continues to be inapplicable. SSGA believes that portfolio companies are best suited to understand which issues are most impactful for their business and, therefore, long-term engagements contribute to SSGA’s evolving perspectives on priority areas. SSGA conducts an asset stewardship program, using sustained, multi-year engagements to drive improved disclosure and oversight practices in order to seek the long-term preservation of the value of the companies in which SSGA invests. The investment strategies offered by SSGA, however, are client-driven, meaning that SSGA will manage products based on indexes selected by clients or for which SSGA sees significant client interest. SSGA’s engagement with its portfolio companies may include discussions on topics that may indirectly relate to transition finance, but this is not financial support and thus is not transition finance.
As noted above, State Street does not make loans or undertake to provide financial support in respect of transition finance activities, and therefore, we have no transition finance business. And while SSGA’s stewardship activities may include engagement with its portfolio companies on topics surrounding transition finance, this does not constitute financial support and thus is not transition finance on which we may report. It is not in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders for the Company to expend company time and resources to prepare a report on a business in which we are not engaged.
Accordingly, the Board recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General Information About the Annual Meeting
If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, that person, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you directions on how to vote those shares, which may include the ability to instruct the voting of your shares by telephone or on the Internet.
If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote online while virtually attending at the meeting, you will need to access the live audio webcast of the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2025 and follow the instructions for shareholder voting.
What are the Board’s recommendations on how to vote my shares?
The Board of Directors recommends a vote:
Item 1— FOR election of the 11 nominees named herein as directors (page 22 )
Item 2— FOR approval of the advisory proposal on executive compensation (page 87 )
Item 3— FOR ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (page 90 )
Item 4— AGAINST the shareholder proposal (page 92 )
Item 5— AGAINST the shareholder proposal (page 95 )
Additionally, if other matters are presented at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy card as proxy holders are authorized to vote on the additional matters as they determine.
Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies by State Street?
State Street will pay the cost for the solicitation of proxies by the Board. The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail and electronic means. State Street has retained Morrow Sodali, LLC to aid in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $18,500, plus expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by employees of State Street and its subsidiaries personally, or by mail, telephone, email or other electronic means, without any remuneration to such employees other than their regular compensation. State Street will reimburse brokers, banks, custodians, other nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding these materials to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General Information About the Annual Meeting
What vote is required to approve each item?
Since it is an uncontested election of directors at the annual meeting, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the votes cast “for” the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” the nominee’s election (Item 1). If the votes cast “against” the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “for” the nominee’s election, the nominee will not be elected to the Board. However, under Massachusetts law, if an incumbent director is not elected to the Board, that incumbent director will “hold over” in office as a director until their successor is elected or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in an uncontested election of directors, any incumbent director who does not receive more votes cast “for” their election than votes cast “against” their election will submit to the Board a letter of resignation for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. After consideration, that Committee would make a recommendation to the Board on the action to be taken regarding the resignation. No such tendered resignation will be deemed effective unless and until it is accepted by an action of the Board.
The actions concerning the advisory proposal on executive compensation (Item 2), the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 3) and the shareholder proposals (Item 4 and Item 5) will be approved if the votes cast “for” the action exceed the votes cast “against” the action. Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 are non-binding proposals.
How is the vote counted?
Votes cast by proxy or at the annual meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by State Street to act as tellers for the meeting.
“Abstentions” and “broker non-votes” are not counted as votes with respect to any of the items to be voted on at the annual meeting.
Stock exchange rules permit a broker to vote shares held in a brokerage account on certain proposals if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Stock exchange and SEC rules, however, prohibit brokers from voting uninstructed shares in the case of election of directors, executive compensation matters and certain other matters. Accordingly, of the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, we believe the only proposal on which brokers will have discretionary voting authority is the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 3).
Where is the meeting held?
The annual meeting will be conducted via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2025 . Please allow ample time for the online check-in process.

General Information About the Annual Meeting
What are my rights as a participant in the Salary Savings Program?
As part of its employee benefits program, State Street maintains a 401(k) plan called the Salary Savings Program (SSP). If you participate in the SSP and invest any part of your account in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan fund (ESOP Fund), you are considered a named fiduciary and may direct the voting of the State Street Corporation common stock allocated to your account as of the record date.
You may give direction on the Internet, by telephone or by mail. If you do not provide timely direction as to how to vote your allocated share, your allocated share will be voted on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants. If a matter arises at the meeting, or such other time as affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the trustee will follow the direction of the committee designated by the Plan Sponsor, or its designee. Voting of your allocated share will occur as described above unless the trustee or plan administrator (or its designee), as applicable, determines that doing so would result in a breach of its fiduciary duty.
You must direct your vote in advance of the annual meeting so that the trustee, the registered owner of all of the shares held in the SSP, can vote in a timely manner. Regardless of the method you use to direct the trustee, the trustee must receive your direction no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 12, 2025 for your direction to be counted. Your direction will be held in confidence by the trustee. You may not provide this direction at the annual meeting. You may change your direction to the trustee by timely submitting a new direction. The last direction the trustee receives by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 12, 2025, will be the only one counted. If your direction by mail is received on the same day as the one received electronically, the electronic direction will be followed.
The trustee provides the annual report, the notice of annual meeting and the proxy statement electronically to active employed SSP participants invested in the ESOP Fund who have a State Street-provided email account and Internet access. Instead of receiving these materials in paper form mailed to your home, you will have online access to these materials, thus expediting the delivery of materials and reducing printing and mailing costs. An email will be sent to all such active employee participants with detailed instructions on how to access materials and give your direction to the trustee. You may request that paper copies be sent to you, thereby permitting you to send in your direction by mail if you prefer that method. All other participants will receive their materials in the mail.
Other Matters
The Board does not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the annual meeting. Under our by-laws, the deadline for shareholders to notify us of any proposals or director nominations to be presented for action at the 2025 annual meeting has passed. Should any other business properly come before the meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy will, as stated therein, have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their judgment. See the discussion in this proxy statement under the heading “General Information About the Annual Meeting—Questions and Answers About Voting.”
Proposals and Nominations by Shareholders
Shareholders who wish to present proposals for inclusion in State Street’s proxy materials for the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and State Street’s by-laws. To be eligible for inclusion in State Street’s proxy materials, the shareholder proposals must be received by the Secretary on or before December 4, 2025.
State Street’s proxy access provision permits a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, to include director nominees in State Street’s proxy materials; provided that: (1) the nominating shareholder(s) own a number of shares representing 3% or more of the total voting power of State Street’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on the election of directors; (2) the nominating shareholder(s) have owned that number of shares continuously for at least 3 years; and (3) the nominating shareholder(s) and their director nominee(s) satisfy the requirements of Article I, Section 7(c) of the by-laws, including its requirement of timely written notice. To be timely, a proxy access notice with respect to the 2026 annual meeting must be delivered to the Secretary no earlier than December 15, 2025 and no later than January 14, 2026 unless the date of the 2026 annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from the anniversary date of the 2025 annual meeting, in which event Article I, Section 7(c) of the by-laws provides different notice requirements.
Under State Street’s by-laws, nominations for directors and proposals of business other than those to be included in State Street’s proxy materials as described above may be made by shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting if notice is timely

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires State Street’s directors, executive officers and any beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. State Street is not aware of any 10% beneficial owners that are subject to Section 16(a). Based on State Street’s review, it believes that all of its directors and officers have complied with all Section 16(a) reporting requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions in 2024, other than the filing of an amended Form 3 by Joerg Ambrosius on February 20, 2024, to correctly reflect the number of shares subject to previously settled performance awards and the untimely filing of nine Forms 4 by William Meaney for a total of 16 transactions in our common stock during 2023-2024, representing purchases of 140 shares and sales of 30 shares. Mr. Meaney has disgorged to State Street all profits associated with such sales and purchases.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Appendix A
Excerpt from State Street’s Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board will have a majority of directors who meet the criteria for independence required by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) corporate governance standards. The Board has adopted the following guidelines to assist it in determining director independence in accordance with the NYSE standards. To be considered independent, the Board must determine, after review and recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board has established the following categorical guidelines to assist it in determining independence:
a.
A director will not be independent if he or she does not satisfy any of the bright-line tests set forth in Section 303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
b.
The following commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would impair a director’s independence: (i) if the State Street director or a member of such director’s immediate family (as defined in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) is a director or owner of less than a 10% ownership interest of another company (including a tax-exempt organization) that does business with the Company; provided such State Street director is not involved in negotiating the transaction; (ii) if the State Street director or a member of such director’s immediate family is a current employee, consultant or executive officer of another company (including a tax-exempt organization) that does business with the Company; provided that, (x) where the State Street director is an employee, consultant or executive officer of the other company, neither the director nor any of his or her immediate family members receives any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (y) the annual payments to, or payments from, the Company from, or to, the other company, for property or services in any completed fiscal year in the last three fiscal years are equal to or less than the greater of $1 million, or two percent of the consolidated gross annual revenues of the other company during the last completed fiscal year of the other company; and (iii) if the State Street director or member of such director’s immediate family is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer of a tax-exempt organization that receives discretionary charitable contributions from the Company; provided such State Street director and his or her Immediate Family Members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction; and further provided that, where the director or immediate family member is an executive officer of the tax-exempt organization, the amount of discretionary charitable contributions in any completed fiscal year in the last three fiscal years are not more than the greater of $1 million, or two percent of that organization’s consolidated gross revenues in the last completed fiscal year of that organization (in applying this test, State Street’s automatic matching of employee charitable contributions to a charitable organization will not be included in the amount of State Street’s discretionary contributions).
c.
The following commercial relationships will not be considered to be a material relationship that would impair a director’s independence: lending relationships, deposit relationships or other banking relationships (such as depository, transfer, registrar, indenture trustee, trusts and estates, private banking, investment management, custodial, securities brokerage, cash management and similar services) between State Street and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a company with which the director or such director’s immediate family member is affiliated by reason of being a director, employee, consultant, executive officer, general partner or an equity holder thereof, on the other, provided that: (i) such relationships are in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and are on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons; (ii) with respect to a loan by the Company to such company or its subsidiaries, such loan has been made in compliance with applicable law, including Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such loan did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features, and no event of default has occurred under the loan; and (iii) payments to the Company for property or services (including fees and interest on loans but not including principal repayments) from such company does not exceed the limit provided in (b)(ii) above.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Appendix A
If a relationship is described by the categorical guidelines contained in both paragraphs b. and c. above, it will not be considered to be a material relationship that would impair a director’s independence if it satisfies all of the applicable requirements of either paragraph b. or c. For relationships not covered by the categorical guidelines (either because they involve a different type of relationship or a different dollar amount), the determination of whether the relationship is material or not, and therefore whether the director would be independent or not, shall be made by the directors who satisfy the independence guidelines set forth above. The Company will explain in the next proxy statement the basis for any Board determination that a relationship was immaterial despite the fact that it did not meet the categorical guidelines of immateriality set forth above.

Appendix B
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to presenting State Street's financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, management also presents certain financial information on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP. This latter basis is a non-GAAP presentation. In general, our non-GAAP financial results adjust selected GAAP-basis financial results to exclude the impact of revenue and expenses outside of State Street’s normal course of business or other notable items, such as acquisition and restructuring charges, repositioning charges and gains/losses on sales. Management believes that this presentation of financial information facilitates an investor's further understanding and analysis of State Street's financial performance and trends with respect to State Street’s business operations from period-to-period, including providing additional insight into our underlying margin and profitability.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP.
