The Board amended the by-laws of its own initiative, following a review of State Street’s governance practices in this area led by the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Other than the reduction in the percentage from 40% to 25%, no other changes were made to the by-laws. The amendment was effective immediately.
