Sustainability Report Disclosure

Forward-Looking Statements

We have included in this report statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside our control. These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond our control. These statements relate to, among other things, our goals, targets, aspirations, strategy, plans, intentions and objectives, and actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our outcomes and results to differ from the forward-looking statements include global socio-demographic and economic trends, energy prices, technological innovations, climate-related conditions and weather events, our ability to gather and verify data regarding environmental impacts, our ability to successfully implement various initiatives throughout the company under expected timeframes, the compliance of various third parties with our policies and procedures, legislative and regulatory changes, and other unforeseen events or conditions. In addition, important factors that generally affect our business and operations can be found under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Certain disclosures included in this report are being provided in connection with our application of guidelines and recommendations of the Global Reporting Initiative, the UN Global Compact, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and others. Our approach to the disclosures included in this report differs from our approach to the disclosures we include in our mandatory regulatory reports, including our filings with the SEC. While certain matters discussed in this report may be significant, any significance should not be read as necessarily rising to the level of materiality used for the purposes of complying with the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations, even if we use the word “material” or “materiality” in this report. This report is intended to provide information from a different perspective and in more detail than that required to be included in other regulatory reports, including our filings with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and BNY undertakes no obligation to update any statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such forward-looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Capital Markets

Please also refer to the Capital Markets LLC Disclaimers and Disclosures here or the Capital Markets EMEA Disclaimers and Disclosures here, as the case may be.

(a) For Material referring to Fixed Income Securities:

Fixed income investments, including municipal bonds, are subject to various risks including changes in interest rates, call features, credit quality, possible default, difficulty in market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, tax ramifications, inflation and other factors.

(b) For Material referring to Floating Rates:

Investment in any floating rate instrument presents unique risks, including the discontinuation of the floating rate reference or any successors or fallbacks thereto. Capital Markets does not guarantee and is not responsible for the availability or continued existence of a floating rate reference associated with any particular instrument. Before investing in any floating rate instrument, please evaluate the risks independently with your financial, tax and other advisors as you deem necessary.

(c) For Material referring to Treasury and Government Agency Obligations:

Not all obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. In addition, if not held to maturity, prices will rise and fall on interest rate movements in response to economic conditions.

(d) For Material referring to Corporate Debt:

Corporate debt securities are subject to risks including, but not limited to: early call or redemption risk, reinvestment risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, event risk, sector risk or market risk.

(e) For Material referring to Commercial Paper:

Commercial paper, an unsecured, short-term debt instrument, is not usually backed by any form of collateral, and although there may be back up lines of credit or back up liquidity, may still be subject to default by the issuer.

(f) For Material referring to Certificates of Deposit:

Certificates of Deposit are most suitable for holding until maturity. Early withdrawal of any CD may not be available and may be subject to applicable penalties.

(g) For Material referring to CDs: Limits on FDIC insurance:

If you have or will have money on deposit (such as a savings account) at the same insured institution that issues the CDs, the total value of your deposit accounts could exceed the amount of FDIC insurance to which your deposits (including CDs) are entitled.

(h) For Material referring to Yankee CDs/No FDIC Insurance:

Yankee CDs are not FDIC insured in whole or in part.

(i) For Material referring to Money Market Mutual Funds and Ultra Short Bond Funds:

Money market funds generally only invest in certain high-quality, short-term investments issued by the U.S. government, U.S. corporations and state and local governments and are subject to strict diversification and maturity standards. Ultra-short bond funds are not subject to these requirements. The net asset value (NAV) of an ultra-short bond fund will fluctuate, while money market funds seek to maintain a stable NAV of $1 per share, although there is no guarantee that they will achieve this goal.

(j) Not acting as Municipal Advisor, Financial Advisor or Fiduciary:

Capital Markets is providing the information contained in this document for discussion purposes only in anticipation of serving as an Underwriter, Broker-Dealer, CP Dealer or Remarketing Agent to the addressee and is not recommending any action to the addressee.  The primary role of Capital Markets, as Underwriter, is to sell and purchase securities, as applicable, to and from investors, in arm's length commercial transactions; Capital Markets has financial and other interests that differ from those of the addressee.  As such, Capital Markets is not acting as a municipal advisor, financial advisor or fiduciary to the addressee or any other person or entity in connection with the information provided.  The information provided is not intended to be and should not be construed as "advice" within the meaning of Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules thereunder. The addressee should consult with its own financial and/or municipal, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors, as applicable, to the extent it deems appropriate.  If the addressee would like a municipal advisor in a transaction that has legal fiduciary duties to the addressee, then the addressee is free to engage a municipal advisor to serve in that capacity.  

(k) For Material referring to Mutual Funds:

Before investing in mutual funds, it is important to understand the sales charges, expenses, and management fees that you will be charged, as well as any available volume-based breakpoint discounts, and whether the mutual fund's investment strategy is compatible with your investment objectives.

(l) For Material referring to Equity Securities:

Prices may fluctuate and it is possible that such fluctuations may be substantial in response to many factors including, without limitation, general market and market sector conditions, U.S. and global, in addition to company specific conditions.  Dividends are not guaranteed and are subject to change or elimination.

(m) For Material referring to Exchange-Traded Funds:

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) generally represent an interest in a portfolio of securities and/or commodities, subjecting the investor to a substantial loss in principal and income due to market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency exchange risk, and risks specific to a particular sector.

Estimated/Intraday Net Asset Value (eNAV/iNAV):

ETFs generally represent an interest in a portfolio of securities and/or commodities.  The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of an ETF is calculated by the ETF once per day as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange, based on the prices of the underlying assets of the ETF.  The NAV of the ETF is the value of the ETF’s assets minus liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding.

BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC (“Capital Markets LLC”) may, pursuant to an agreement with an ETF trust, transfer agent, and distributor, act as an authorized participant (“AP”) in the purchase or sale of fund shares directly from an ETF. Capital Markets LLC may accept orders to buy or sell ETF shares based on an Estimated or Intraday Net Asset Value (“eNAV” or “iNAV”, respectively) of the ETF, including plus or minus a spread mutually agreed to with the client.  The eNAV or iNAV is an estimate of the net asset value of the ETF, based on the fair value of the underlying assets of the ETF at a given time during the day.

Capital Markets LLC will determine the best execution method for the order, consistent with applicable rules and regulations and using reasonable diligence of order and market factors.  Capital Markets LLC will determine the eNAV and iNAV based on available execution prices of the underlying assets of the ETF.  Where the underlying assets of the ETF include securities of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), a Capital Markets LLC affiliate, Capital Markets LLC will use the market price of BNY securities in determining the eNAV and iNAV.   

The eNAV and iNAV may be impacted by market and other factors outside of Capital Markets LLC’s control.  The iNAV will change and may fluctuate throughout the day based on the value of the underlying assets of the ETF prior to the close of trading, which may subject the client to a substantial loss in principal and income due to market volatility.  The eNAV or iNAV may be higher than the highest traded price, or lower than the lowest traded price, of the ETF for the day.  The eNAV or iNAV may be higher than the best offer, or lower than the best bid, of the ETF for the day.  The eNAV and iNAV may also be impacted by the estimated versus actual cash holdings of the ETF.  If the eNAV or iNAV deviates from the next NAV of the ETF after the order is received, impacting the order by more than the greater of 1 basis point or $10,000, Capital Markets LLC reserves the right to adjust the respective eNAV and iNAV provided for the order.

Capital Markets LLC may engage in trading to hedge the risk of orders to buy or sell ETF shares based on the eNAV or iNAV of the ETF using proprietary analytical models, market data, and information otherwise available to Capital Markets LLC.  Capital Markets LLC’s hedging activity may include trading in ETFs that have underlying assets which include, among other assets, securities of BNY.  This hedging activity may impact the market prices of the securities or financial instruments the client is buying or selling. Capital Markets LLC will employ reasonable means in an attempt to minimize market impact, where reasonably practicable under the circumstances, market conditions permitting.

ETFs may subject the client to a substantial loss in principal and income due to market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency exchange risk, and risks specific to a particular sector.  The ETF’s prospectus and/or offering documents are available through the ETF issuer’s website; the client should read these carefully before deciding to invest.

(n) For Material referring to Options:

Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. An option holder may lose the entire amount paid for the option in a relatively short period of time and an options writer may incur significant loss if the price of the underlying interest declines.

(o) Investment Banking and Public Finance:

The Company should discuss any financial instrument offering, engagement, or relationship with its own counsel and financial advisors. Capital Markets does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice, and any information provided by Capital Markets does not include the legal, tax or accounting effects of consummating any transaction.

(p) No Tax, Legal or Accounting Advice:

Capital Markets does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. You should independently and carefully consider whether any information or investment instruments are suitable for your particular investment objectives and financial position and, if you believe it appropriate, seek professional advice, including tax, legal and accounting advice.

(q) For Material referring to past performance:

Past performance is not indicative of nor a guarantee of future performance and a loss of original capital may occur. You should not enter into any transactions unless you have fully understood all risks, that not all investments will be suitable, and you have independently determined that such transactions are appropriate, for you. Investing in securities involves risk, including loss of the principal amount invested. Additional information is provided on FINRA's Web site at https://www.finra.org/investors/learn-to-invest/key-investing-concepts/evaluating-investment-performance.

(r) For Material referring to Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS):

Potential issuers of securities should discuss any financial instrument offering, engagement, or relationship with their own counsel and financial advisors. Beginning in the second half of 2007, difficulties in the mortgage and broader credit markets led to a substantial decrease in the availability of credit. As a result, U.S., European and global credit and financial markets in general have been, and are, experiencing difficulties.  The extent and duration of any future continued weakening of these markets, higher costs of borrowing, and disruptions in debt and equity markets may potentially make it more difficult to issue a financial instrument, exit an investment or define the impact, if any, on the performance and prospects of particular issuers or securities. There can be no assurance that any of the governmental or private sector initiatives designed to strengthen the condition of the credit markets will be successful, and there is no way to know the effect that these initiatives will have on the performance of any particular securities or issuers.

Only GNMA is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and MBS in general have recently experienced volatility and other increased risks due to homeowner defaults and severe problems in the housing market.

(s) For Material referring to Structured products:

Structured products are not suitable for all investors. Structured Products are subject to special risks and considerations.  All relevant offering documents including, but not limited to, term sheets and prospectuses should be consulted and understood prior to investing. Investors should understand characteristics, risks, and potential rewards.  Investors should contact their own accounting, tax or legal advisors to review the suitability of any investment.
