Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 3, 2017, in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2012, by and among U.S. Bancorp, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), U.S. Bank National Association (the "Depositary") and the holders of depositary receipts issued thereunder from time to time, the Company provided notice to the Depositary to redeem, on April 15, 2017, all 43,400 outstanding shares of its Series G Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Series G Preferred Stock"), and its depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of the Series G Preferred Stock (the "Series G Depositary Shares"). The Series G Preferred Stock will be redeemed at a redemption price per share equal to $25,000 (equivalent to $25 per Series G Depositary Share). Because the redemption date is also a dividend payment date, the redemption price does not include any accrued and unpaid dividends. The regular quarterly dividends, in an amount equal to $375.00 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (equivalent to $0.375 per Series G Depositary Share), for the full current quarterly dividend period from and including January 15, 2017, to but excluding April 15, 2017, will be paid separately in the customary manner to holders of record on March 31, 2017. Because April 15, 2017, is not a business day, both the redemption price and the regular quarterly dividends will be paid, separately, on the next succeeding business day, April 17, 2017. A copy of the press release announcing the redemption is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
