Item 8.01 Other Events.
     In its regular annual meeting proxy statement, The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that “certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have had, and expect to continue to have, banking and fiduciary transactions with a number of the Company’s directors and executive officers and their associates and members of their immediate families. Such transactions are all on terms comparable to similar transactions with others who are not within such group.”
     In addition, any such outstanding transaction (including any transaction entered into in fiscal year 2006, any period before fiscal year 2006, or 2007 to the date of the Company’s annual meeting proxy statement):
     (i) was made in the ordinary course of business;
     (ii) was made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender; and
     (iii) did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
