ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) on April 9, 2013, each nominee for director was elected by a majority of votes cast. Management proposals 2 and 3 were approved. The proposals below are described in detail in BNY Mellon’s definitive proxy statement, dated March 8, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Abstentions and broker non-votes were counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum was present, but were not treated as votes cast on a proposal. Therefore, broker non-votes and abstentions did not have the effect of a vote for or against the proposal and were not counted in determining the number of votes required for approval.

The results are as follows:

 

  1. The election of 12 directors for a term expiring at the end of our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (each nominee elected by a majority of votes cast):
