ITEM 8.01	Other Events

In BB&T Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Corporation reported its results of operations through its business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Dealer Financial Services, Specialized Lending, Insurance Holdings, Financial Services and Other Treasury and Corporate. Effective January 1, 2017, several business activities were realigned within the segments. First, certain client relationships with $218 million of loans and $2.0 billion of deposits were no longer included in Financial Services and are only reported in Community Banking. Second, the Mortgage Warehouse Lending and Domestic Factoring businesses within Specialized Lending were moved to Residential Mortgage Banking and Other, Treasury and Corporate, respectively. Third, the International division was restructured with components integrated into Community Banking and Financial Services from Other, Treasury and Corporate.

BB&T is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to retrospectively revise historical segment information to correspond with this new structure. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not revise nor restate BB&T’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period, and all other information in the 2016 Form 10‑K remains unchanged and has not been otherwise updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K with the SEC. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, BB&T’s financial statements reflected the realignment of its reportable segments with prior periods adjusted accordingly.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto update the business segment information presented in the Annual Report to the extent this information is impacted by the revised business segment reporting methodology. Portions of the following items from the Annual Report have been updated to reflect the revised presentation:


•	Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (filed as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference). Exhibit 99.1 also includes a Glossary of Defined Terms used throughout the Current Report.


•	Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (filed as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference).
