Non-Employee
Director Compensation
General
The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee is responsible for reviewing annually the form and amount of director compensation and for making a related recommendation to the Board. The Committees review focuses on compensation for our
non-employee
directors. Mr. Hooley is the only director who is also one of our employees, and the determination of his compensation is described in this proxy statement under the heading Executive
Compensation. In conducting its review, the Committee has access to compensation consultants and other resources it deems appropriate, including peer group data. The Committee uses the same peer group the Compensation Committee uses for
purposes of executive compensation generally and, like the Compensation Committee, used the services of Meridian Compensation Partners as a compensation consultant for 2016. For information on State Streets peer group and compensation
consultant, see Executive CompensationCompensation Discussion and AnalysisOther Elements of Our Process.
Each year, our
compensation consultant assists in preparing a review of director compensation within the peer group. After reviewing this material in 2016, the Committee made its recommendation to the Board, which, following the May 2016 annual meeting of
shareholders, approved director compensation for all
non-employee
directors effective through the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders.
Compensation
For the period between each annual meeting
of shareholders,
non-employee
directors receive the following compensation:

Directors receive meeting fees of $1,500 for each Board and committee meeting attended, together with reimbursement of
expenses incurred as a result of attending such meetings, payable in cash. The Lead Director does not receive any committee meeting fees, but does receive Board meeting fees and reimbursement of expenses.

Pursuant to State Streets Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, directors may elect to defer the receipt of 0% or 100% of their
(1) retainers, (2) meeting fees or (3) annual award of shares of common stock. Directors also may elect to receive all of their retainers in cash or shares of common stock. Directors who elect to defer the cash payment of their retainers
or meeting fees may also make notional investment elections with respect to such deferrals, with a choice of four notional investment fund returns. Deferrals of shares of common stock are adjusted to reflect the hypothetical reinvestment in
additional shares of common stock of any dividends or distributions on State Street common stock. Deferred amounts will be paid (a) as elected by the director, on either the date of the directors termination of service on the Board or on
the earlier of such termination and a future date specified, and (b) in the form elected by the director as either a lump sum or in installments over a
two-
to five-year period.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines
We have stock ownership guidelines that apply to all directors. The target level of stock ownership is equal to 5 times the annual equity grant of
$150,000 for a total of $750,000. Achievement of this guideline is
phased-in
over a period of seven years, with the first year commencing on the date of election as director, for any director elected to the
Board prior to May 2011. For directors elected to the board after May 2011, the
phase-in
period is five years. A holding requirement applies until the full (not pro-rated) target ownership level is achieved.
For purposes of the director stock ownership guidelines, the value of shares owned is calculated by reference to the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date that we use for the beneficial ownership table in our annual meeting proxy
statement. Directors are credited with the value and number of all shares they beneficially own for purposes of the beneficial ownership table which includes all shares awarded as director compensation, whether immediate or deferred. Directors are
expected to attain the ownership level ratably over the phase in period.
As of March 1, 2017, the stock ownership level for each of our
directors either exceeded the expected level of ownership under these guidelines or, for those directors whose holdings do not currently meet the guidelines, is consistent with a
pro-rated
accumulation of
shares which would, if continued, exceed the guidelines by the end of the applicable
phase-in
period. As of March 1, 2017, all directors, except for Ms. Dugle and Mr. Freda, exceed the full (not ratable)
expected level of ownership, and therefore, the holding requirement applies only to them during the phase-in period.

For the May 2016-April 2017 Board year, each director received 2,440 shares of common stock valued at $150,000 on the
date of grant for the annual equity award; each director electing to receive the annual retainer in common stock also received 1,220 shares of common stock valued at $75,000 on the date of grant. One director elected to receive his additional
committee member retainer in common stock in lieu of cash. All of these shares were valued based on the
per-share
closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on May 18, 2016 of $61.50. Stock awards to
non-employee
directors vest immediately, and there were no unvested
non-employee

Related Person Transactions
The Board has adopted a written policy and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which State Street is a
participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or 5% shareholders (or their immediate family members), who we refer to as related persons, has a direct or indirect
material interest. A related person proposing to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship must report the proposed related-person transaction to State Streets Chief Legal Officer. The policy calls for the proposed
related-person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A related-person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized
by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or the Committee Chair) after full disclosure of the related persons interest in the transaction. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and
STATE STREET CORPORATION

|
|
2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
approval will occur prior to the transaction. If advance review is not practicable or was otherwise not obtained, the Committee will review and, if deemed appropriate, ratify the related-person
transaction. The policy also permits the Chair of the Committee to review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related-person transactions that arise between Committee meetings, in which case they will be reported to the full Committee at
its next meeting. Any related-person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may approve or ratify the related-person transaction only if the
Committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, State Streets best interests. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on State
Street or the related person in connection with approval of the related-person transaction.
In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the
instructions to the SECs related-person transaction disclosure rule, the Board has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not
related-person transactions for purposes of this policy:
|
|
interests arising solely from the related persons position as an executive officer, employee or consultant of
another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity) that is a party to the transaction, where (1) the related person and his or her immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the
transaction and (2) the annual amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of the other entity that is a party to the transaction during that entitys last
completed fiscal year or
|
|
|
a transaction that involves discretionary charitable contributions from State Street to a
tax-exempt
organization where a related person is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer, provided the related person and his or her immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as
a result of the transaction, and further provided that, where a related person is an executive officer of the
tax-exempt
organization, the amount of the discretionary charitable contributions in any completed
year in the last three fiscal years is not more than the greater of $1 million, or 2% of that organizations consolidated gross revenues in the last completed fiscal year of that organization (in applying this test, State Streets
automatic matching of director or employee charitable contributions to a charitable organization will not be included in the amount of State Streets discretionary contributions)
|
On March 27, 2017, State Street entered into a series of definitive agreements with DST Systems, Inc., or DST, and its affiliates providing for,
among other things, the acquisition by affiliates of DST of State Streets interests in the parties joint ventures, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., or BFDS, and International Financial Data Services Limited, or IFDS Ltd. BFDS
provides shareholder recordkeeping, intermediary and investor services and regulatory compliance solutions to financial services clients in the United States, and IFDS Ltd. is an investor and policy holder administrative services and technology
provider to the collective funds, insurance and retirement industries. State Street exchanged its interest in BFDS for approximately 2.0 million shares of State Street common stock, valued at approximately $158 million, which acquisition of common
stock was treated as part of State Streets $1.4 billion common stock purchase program previously announced in July 2016. State Street sold its interest in IFDS Ltd. and related assets for cash consideration of approximately $175
million. Stephen C. Hooley, President and Chief Executive Officer of DST, is the brother of Joseph L. Hooley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of State Street. These transactions were approved by State Streets Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with our Related Person Transaction Policy.
Based on information provided by the directors, nominees and
executive officers, and obtained by the legal department, no other related-person transactions were required to be reported in this proxy statement under applicable SEC regulations. In addition, neither State Street nor the Bank had extended a
personal loan or extension of credit to any of its directors, nominees or executive officers.

As appropriate for the circumstances, the Committee (or the Committee Chair) will review and consider: the related
persons interest in the related-person transaction the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related-person transaction the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related persons interest in the transaction
without regard to the amount of any profit or loss whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of State Streets business whether the transaction with the related person is on terms no less favorable to State Street than terms
that could be reached with an unrelated third-party the purpose, and the potential benefits to State Street, of the transaction any other information regarding the related-person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed
transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction

Executive Summary
2016 Corporate Performance Highlights
In 2016, we deepened and expanded our client relationships, resulting in new asset servicing
commitments of $1.4 trillion, continued to establish our position as a leader in technology-driven financial services both to improve operational performance and deliver innovative client solutions, made critical investments to prepare State Street
and its clients for the future, and achieved solid financial results. Importantly, we extended our core investment management capabilities through our acquisition of GE Asset Management. We also intensified our focus on controlling expenses,
managing risk and optimizing our capital position in an effort to create long-term value for our shareholders. The revenue environment remained challenging, characterized by continued slow economic growth and low interest rates, geopolitical shocks
and volatile markets, particularly in Europe and emerging markets. Despite those challenges, we generated increases over 2015 in earnings per share and return on average common equity, maintained stable expenses and made strategic investments to
further develop our digital enterprise. Below are selected key indicators we use to monitor our performance. The Committee also considered these indicators in evaluating 2016 corporate performance for compensation purposes. Additional factors
considered by the Committee are also described under the heading 2016 Compensation DecisionsCorporate Performance.

Strategic
Objective Performance Highlights
We made progress on several important strategic objectives during 2016. These included:
|
|
Achieved new asset servicing commitments of $1.4 trillion, reflecting strong growth with significant participation from
Europe
|
|
|
Began implementing State Street Beacon, our multi-year strategy to digitize our business, deliver significant value and
innovation for our clients and lower expenses across the organization; more than doubled the estimated annual
pre-tax
savings in 2016 to $175 million
(2)
|
|
|
Completed our acquisition of GE Asset Management, extending our core investment management capabilities, including in the
high-growth outsourced chief investment officer markets, and enhancing our capabilities to deliver value-added solutions to our client base
|
|
|
Invested in data and analytics solutions to deliver client value across all of our businesses, including integrated
solutions that improve the data, speed and services to our clients
|
|
|
Continued to advance risk excellence as a top organizational priority, making considerable progress in strengthening our
controls and operating environment and reinforcing a strong culture of Risk Excellence
|
For further details on these and other
initiatives, see below under the headings 2016 Compensation DecisionsCorporate Performance and 2016 Compensation DecisionsIndividual Compensation Decisions.

Financial results presented on an operating basis are a non-GAAP presentation. State Street measures and reports its
financial performance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as GAAP. State Street also separately measures and compares its financial performance on a non-GAAP basis, referred to as operating basis, because it
believes this presentation supports meaningful comparisons from period to period and the analysis of comparable financial trends with respect to State Streets normal ongoing business operations. State Street believes operating-basis financial
information, which reports revenue from non-taxable sources, such as interest revenue from tax-exempt investment securities and processing fees and other revenue associated with tax-advantaged investments, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis and
excludes the impact of revenue and expenses outside of the normal course of business, facilitates an investors understanding and analysis of State Streets underlying financial performance and trends in addition to financial information
prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. Operating-basis and other non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Estimated
pre-tax
expense savings improvements relate only to State Street Beacon
and the targeted staff reductions announced as part of our third quarter 2015 financial results, and are based on projected improvement from our full-year 2015 operating-basis expenses, all else being equal. The full effect of the savings generated
each year will be felt the following year. Actual expenses may increase or decrease in the future due to other factors.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

CEO Performance and Compensation
Overall, Mr. Hooley was paid below his target incentive for 2016.
Annual Incentive.
The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Hooley an annual incentive at 83% of target for 2016. This reflects the
Committees favorable evaluation of Mr. Hooleys overall 2016 performance, including his significant progress in executing our digital transformation plan, the acquisition of GE Asset Management and the return to shareholders of
approximately $1.9 billion of capital in the form of common stock dividends and share repurchases. It also reflects the fact that 2016 financial performance was below expectations. Consequently, the Committee believed an annual incentive at 83%
of target to be appropriate. Mr. Hooley did not receive an annual incentive award for 2015 due to below expectations corporate performance and the effects of previously disclosed
non-ordinary
course
contingencies (discussed in last years proxy statement). Last years decision also reflected Mr. Hooleys request that he not receive an annual incentive for 2015.
Long-Term Incentive.
The long-term incentive is based on future stock price performance and a portion of the long term incentive is not paid unless
specific financial targets are achieved. Therefore, our long-term incentive awards generally remain consistent with target compensation levels, absent a change in the executives responsibilities, State Streets long-term performance trend
or market practices. The Committee awarded Mr. Hooley 100% of his long-term incentive for 2016. For 2015, the Committee reduced the long-term incentive component for many of our 2015 NEOs below target, including for Mr. Hooley whose
long-term incentive was paid at 90% of target, due to the
non-ordinary
course contingencies noted above.
For
additional information concerning how the Committee incorporated the individual performance of Mr. Hooley and our other NEOs into 2016 compensation decisions, see 2016 Compensation DecisionsIndividual Compensation Decisions.
Sound Compensation and Corporate Governance Practices
Our NEO compensation practices are designed to support good governance and mitigate excessive risk-taking incentives. We regularly review and refine our
governance practices considering several factors, including feedback from ongoing engagement with our shareholders.
STATE STREET CORPORATION
25
What We Do Performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) incorporate a ROE target that increased progressively
in 2013, 2014 and 2015 Performance-based RSUs have a
three-year
performance period that promotes long-term performance Deferral of a significant amount of incentive compensation discourages short-term risk
taking at the expense of long-term results Cash-based element of deferred compensation awards mitigates dilutive effects of deferred compensation Active engagement with our shareholders on compensation and governance issues Clawback and forfeiture
policies permit the Compensation Committee to recoup incentive compensation payments Overlapping membership between the Compensation Committee and our Risk Committee Double-trigger
change-of-control
vesting in effect for all deferred incentive compensation awards granted on and after February 2014. These awards require a qualifying termination following a change of control before
vesting Share ownership policy, including holding requirements, further aligns NEO incentive compensation design with the risks and performance results experienced by our shareholders. Each of our NEOs is in compliance with these guidelines An

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
Shareholder Outreach and
Say-on-Pay
In reviewing compensation design and
governance practices, the Compensation Committee considers market practice and regulatory guidance, as well as other factors, including shareholder feedback. The Committee receives feedback from our shareholders through two primary channels:
|
|
Shareholder Outreach.
We engage several of our largest shareholders to understand their specific perspectives on
our compensation and governance programs. For 2016, we held discussions with shareholders representing more than 30% of our outstanding common stock
|
|
|
Say-on-Pay.
At our
annual shareholder meeting, we ask our shareholders to approve a
non-binding
advisory proposal on executive compensation. At our 2016 annual meeting, our shareholders approved that proposal with the vote of
89% of the votes cast
|
Based on the results of our
say-on-pay
vote and shareholder outreach, the Committee believes our shareholders, in general, support our overall executive compensation program. For the
2016 compensation year, we therefore continued many of the elements of our existing compensation program, such as maintaining a high level of equity and deferral for incentive compensation awards to our NEOs, as well as emphasizing pay for
performance and alignment with shareholder interests.
One area of specific discussion we had with several of our shareholders over the past few years
involved the design of our performance-based RSUs, including the appropriate performance target and the length of the performance period. In response to those discussions, we have introduced the following changes to the design of our
performance-based RSUs:
|
|
NEW for 2016
Increased the minimum payout threshold ROE for the performance-based RSUs from 0.01% to 5%
with an associated increase to the threshold payout rate from 30% to 40%. The increased threshold eliminates any payout for ROE performance below 5%
|
|
|
NEW for 2016
Increased the payout opportunity for the performance-based RSUs for performance above the
current 11% ROE target. The maximum opportunity for 15% ROE or greater is now 140% of the initial number of performance-based RSUs awarded (an increase from 120%), and provides for symmetrical payouts for performance above and below target
|
|
|
NEW in 2015
Increased the ROE performance target used in performance-based RSUs to 11% for 2015 awards,
from 9% for 2014 awards and from 8% for 2013 awards, reflecting evolving market conditions and increased visibility into the effects of new regulatory standards. We believe that this performance target is consistent with our continuing objective of
aligning our incentives with shareholder interests
|
Compensation Committee Process Concerning Risk Alignment
For 2016, we continued our focus on aligning incentive compensation with appropriate risk management principles. We provide incentives designed not to
encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and have established process controls and oversight. These features include:

communicates with the Risk Committee of our Board of Directors to integrate the Risk Committees input into compensation decisions. The Chair of the Risk Committee also serves on the Compensation Committee
|
|
|
Corporate Risk Summary Review.
The Compensation Committee periodically reviews a corporate risk summary, prepared
by the Chief Risk Officer, evaluating firm-wide risk in several categories
|
|
|
Annual Compensation Risk Review.
The Compensation Committee annually reviews a presentation by the Chief Risk
Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer evaluating our compensation programs and covering:
|
|
|
|
the alignment of State Streets compensation plans with its safety and soundness
|
|
|
|
the activities of a multi-disciplinary control function committee created by management to formally review and assess
incentive compensation arrangements throughout the organization
|
|
|
|
the identification of executives and other individuals whose roles may expose State Street to material amounts of risk
(referred to as material risk-takers)
|
|
|
|
the mechanisms in place for monitoring risk performance and, where appropriate, implementing risk-based adjustments to
incentive compensation
|
|
|
Risk-Based Adjustments to Incentive Compensation.
We use a
two-pronged
process for risk-based adjustments to incentive compensation awards for material risk-takers. This process involves, as appropriate, both: (1) adjustments at the time awards

are made
(so-called

adjustments) and (2) adjustments after the awards are made
(so-called
ex post
adjustments), through possible recoupment of incentive compensation that has already been awarded via forfeiture (before vesting and delivery) or clawback (after vesting
and delivery). For more information, see the discussion under Other Elements of Compensation Recourse Mechanisms below
|
|
|
Emphasis on Deferral and Equity-Based Compensation.
We maintain significant levels of deferred compensation and
equity-based compensation for our executives. Combined, these elements align an executives compensation with the risks and performance results experienced by our shareholders. The high level of deferral places a significant amount of
compensation at risk for possible forfeiture in specified circumstances.
|
For a further discussion of the risk alignment of our
compensation practices, see below under the heading Alignment of Incentive Compensation and Risk.

include: acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions and related securities issuances and expenses; changes in accounting principles, tax or banking law or regulations; litigation or
regulatory settlements arising from events that occurred prior to the performance period; and restructuring charges and expenses. However, the Committee retains the power to exercise negative discretion, as it deems appropriate, to reduce the actual
payouts under performance awards as a result of any of these factors.
|
Restrictive Covenants.
Each of our deferred incentive
compensation awards includes restrictive covenants applicable to our NEOs. Beginning with awards granted for 2015 performance, we added provisions concerning
non-competition
to the
non-solicitation,
confidentiality and
non-disparagement
provisions included historically in these awards.
2016 Compensation Decisions
Total Compensation
Approach
The Compensation Committee evaluates individual compensation for our NEOs and other executive officers by looking at total
compensation, consisting of base salary and incentive compensation.
Base Salary.
Base salary is a fixed annual cash amount and is a relatively
small portion of total compensation for the NEOs. 2016 annual base salary rates for the NEOs remained unchanged from their levels in 2015.
Incentive Compensation.
Incentive compensation is a variable amount, comprising both equity-based elements, paid as a long-term incentive, and
cash-based elements, paid as an annual incentive. The Committee believes a significant amount of incentive compensation should take the form of both deferred awards and equity awards. Therefore, to emphasize long-term performance, a higher
percentage of each NEOs total incentive compensation is delivered as an equity-based long-term incentive. This emphasis on deferred awards is also consistent with regulatory guidance for major financial institutions.
By paying a significant portion of our NEOs compensation in equity and by requiring vesting of that component over multiple years, the Committee
creates an incentive structure where both the rewards and risks of share ownership are shared by our executives and shareholders.
For 2016, the
Committee decided to award annual incentives below target for all NEOs reflecting financial performance below our expectations. For a description of our annual and long-term incentive compensation targets, see below.
The following charts highlight the percentages of our CEOs and other NEOs (on average) 2016 total compensation that are delivered via deferred
incentives, equity-based incentives, and vehicles that are subject to State Streets future financial/stock performance.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
Individual Compensation Targets.
For 2016, the Compensation Committee established compensation
targets for each NEOs annual and long-term incentive. These targets were based upon an assessment of the executives role and responsibilities at State Street and relevant competitive and market factors, as well as internal equity.
|
|
Annual Incentive.
The annual incentive is designed to reflect the executives performance for the year.
Therefore, the actual annual incentive can vary from target based on State Streets and the executives performance from year to year. The final annual incentive award can range between 0% and 200% of target to reflect performance. 2016
annual incentive awards (granted in February 2017) for our NEOs ranged from 57% to 89% of target.
|
|
|
Long-Term Incentive.
The long-term incentive is designed to reflect State Streets long-term performance
trend, as well as the core responsibilities associated with the executives role over time. Therefore, the actual long-term incentive awarded is expected to be consistent from year to year, absent a change in (1) State Streets
long-term performance trend, (2) the executives responsibilities or (3) market compensation practices. Absent any of these changes, the long-term incentive may still vary within a range of 80% to 120% of the target based on an
assessment of actions or behaviors that affect the NEOs long-term value to State Street. These behaviors may include prioritizing cross-organization initiatives in support of State Streets business strategy, serving as an ethical role
model, enhancing a culture of compliance and prudent risk-taking and ensuring management practices are in place to deliver the required talent pipeline as well as other considerations deemed appropriate by the Committee. 2016 long-term incentive
awards (granted in February 2017) were approved at target for all NEOs.
|
In making individual incentive compensation decisions for
each of our NEOs, the Committee determines their annual and long-term incentive separately. The Committee then adds those two amounts together to reach a total incentive for the executive.
The 2016 annual and long-term incentive compensation targets established by the Compensation Committee for each of our NEOs are listed in the following

Compensation Assessment Framework
For each NEO, the Compensation Committee determines the appropriate level of total compensation for the year. This determination is based on a subjective
evaluation of many factors, including corporate performance, individual performance and market, regulatory and shareholder considerations. In evaluating these factors and making 2016 compensation decisions for the NEOs, the Committee used the
following framework:
Performance assessed under this framework drives incentive compensation determinations relative to each
executives targets, particularly for the annual incentive. The Committee balances corporate and individual results to reach final total compensation decisions. In doing so, the Committee may consider additional factors or give greater or less
weight to specific notable factors.
Corporate Performance
Framework Evaluation.
As referenced above, the corporate performance framework uses a structured evaluation of
three discrete and multi-factor scorecards, which contain both quantitative and qualitative metrics and cover:
|
|
performance against strategic objectives
|
|
|
risk management performance, including the risk management performance of significant individual business lines and
functions
|
The Compensation Committee received financial, strategic objectives and risk management performance scorecard updates in
July and December 2016. The Compensation Committee also received an additional interim financial performance scorecard update in September 2016, as well as the final 2016 financial, strategic objectives and risk management scorecards in early 2017.
The Committees overall evaluation of corporate performance, balancing positive and negative performance outcomes in each of these scorecards, is a primary driver of incentive compensation decisions for our NEOs.
In 2016, we deepened and expanded our client relationships, resulting in new asset servicing commitments of $1.4 trillion, continued to establish our
position as a leader in technology-driven financial services both to improve operational performance and deliver innovative client solutions, made critical investments to prepare State Street and its clients for the future and achieved solid
financial results. Importantly, we extended our core investment management capabilities through our acquisition of GE Asset Management. We also intensified our focus on controlling expenses, managing risk and optimizing our capital position in an
effort to create long-term value for our shareholders. The revenue environment remained challenging, characterized by continued slow economic growth and low interest rates, geopolitical shocks and volatile markets, particularly in Europe and
emerging markets. Despite those challenges, we generated increases over 2015 in earnings per share and return on average common equity, maintained stable expenses, and made strategic investments to further develop our digital enterprise. Though we
assessed our financial performance as below expectations, earnings per share growth and return on average common equity were above the median of our peer group and we delivered a total return to shareholders of 19.81%.

Mr. Bell
. Mr. Bell successfully managed State Streets balance sheet, optimizing
capital levels and return through disciplined liability pricing, deployment of interest rate capacity and active management of funding and swap activity. As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Bell led the effort to reduce expenses despite a
challenging revenue environment in 2016. His actions earned State Street positive results under the Federal Reserves annual CCAR stress test and strengthened the liquidity of our investment portfolio. Further, he improved the effectiveness and
efficiency of the Finance Divisions operating model through implementing simplified budgeting and forecasting processes. Mr. Bell improved talent in the Finance Division with key senior level hires in 2016 and effectively planned a
transition of Chief Financial Officer responsibilities to a new Chief Financial Officer in 2017.
In March 2016, we announced that Mr. Bell would
step down from his role as Chief Financial Officer. To provide for a smooth transition of leadership of the Finance Division, Mr. Bell agreed to continue to serve State Street as Chief Financial Officer during the search for his successor. In
April 2016, the Committee approved a transition agreement for Mr. Bell. The agreement provides specified benefits to Mr. Bell, contingent upon his continued service, including a 2016 incentive compensation award, subject to the
Committees discretion and corporate and individual performance, as well as continued vesting of his outstanding deferred incentive compensation awards in accordance with the terms of our incentive plans and awards. On February 28, 2017,
we appointed Eric Aboaf to serve as Chief Financial Officer, in accordance with this transition plan.
Mr.
Rogers
.
Mr. Rogers continues to drive our digitization effort through State Street Beacon, which is differentiating State Street in the market, positively impacting our clients and controlling expenses. In 2016, he also successfully steered efforts to
develop our Sector Sales initiatives and advanced new product innovation to drive improved speed and quality of service for clients. In addition, Mr. Rogers introduced significant improvements in business operations through key personnel
changes and strengthened State Streets risk profile through the
build-out
of market surveillance and Volcker infrastructure.
Mr.
OHanley
. Mr. OHanley led State Street Global Advisors in 2016 in achieving several key objectives. Notably,
he coordinated the successful acquisition of GE Asset Management, which extends our core investment management capabilities, including in the high-growth outsourced chief investment officer markets. He also actively managed significant talent
improvements through acquisition, internal mobility and outside hiring. In addition, he improved our operating environment and risk management profile, making significant contributions to resolution planning efforts. Mr. OHanley was
appointed Vice Chairman, effective January 1, 2017.
Mr.
Phalen
. In 2016, Mr. Phalen oversaw major regulatory
initiatives throughout State Street, including resolution planning and anti-money laundering remediation efforts, resulting in improvements in our overall control structure and risk posture. In May 2016, Mr. Phalen informed us that he planned
to retire after almost 25 years at State Street. Through the second half of 2016, Mr. Phalen successfully transitioned responsibilities related to regulatory initiatives to State Streets Chief Administrative Officer, Karen Keenan, prior
to his retirement on January 20, 2017.
Additional Factors and Individual Compensation Decisions
In addition to the corporate and individual performance factors summarized above, the Committee also took into account
market compensation competitiveness in finalizing its compensation decisions.

The Compensation Committees 2016 total compensation decisions for each of the NEOs are presented in the table
below. The table below is intended to help shareholders understand the process and philosophy the Committee used in calculating NEO compensation for 2016 performance. Note (1) to the table below describes the relationship between the amounts
reported in the table below and those amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table (as required by SEC rules) and related tables beginning on page 43.
While the table below summarizes how the Committee views compensation, it is not a
substitute for the tables and disclosures required by the SECs rules.

The compensation described in the table above, which summarizes how the Committee evaluates total compensation, differs
from the compensation described in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 43 in the following respects:
|
|
|
Annual Base Salary.
The table above reflects the
year-end
annual base
salary rate applicable for each NEO. Column (c) in the Summary Compensation Table presents the amount of base salary actually earned by each NEO during the relevant year.
|
|
|
DVAs.
The table above reflects the value of deferred cash compensation designated by the Committee and does not
include the adjustment factor intended to provide the notional investment return of a money market instrument during the deferral period. The DVA amounts included in the Summary Compensation Table are increased to reflect this adjustment factor,
which is more fully described in note (3) to the Summary Compensation Table.
|
|
|
Long-Term Incentive Awards.
The Compensation Committee grants long-term incentive equity awards based on
the prior years performance. In the table above, equity awards are shown for the year of performance (e.g., equity granted in 2017 for 2016 performance is shown as 2016 compensation). Under applicable SEC rules, the Summary Compensation Table
presents equity awards in the year in which they are made (e.g., equity granted in 2017 for 2016 performance will be shown as 2017 compensation). In addition, the Summary Compensation Table includes, to the extent awarded, defined contribution
deferred share awards under our Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan for 2014. None of Messrs. Hooley, Bell, Rogers, OHanley, or Phalen were granted defined contribution deferred share awards under that

plan in 2015 or 2016. Consistent with the discussion under the heading Total Compensation Approach, the Committee does not view these retirement benefits conceptually as a component
of total compensation.
|
|
|
Total Compensation.
The amounts disclosed above differ from the amounts reported in column (j) of the Summary
Compensation Table as a result of the different methodologies discussed in the notes above. Additionally, this presentation excludes several items from the Summary Compensation Table which State Street does not view as primary components of regular
annual compensation, such as Change in Pension Value (which is due solely to actuarial computations).
|
Other Elements
of Our Process
Roles of the Committee and the CEO
The Compensation Committee has direct responsibility for executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs at State Street and for establishing
the overall compensation philosophy for executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee performs those same functions for the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the other independent directors. Accordingly, the
Committees compensation decisions for the Chief Executive Officer include input from the other independent directors of the Board, whether or not specifically referenced in this CD&A. In making compensation decisions for the other NEOs,
the Committee considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and input from the other independent directors.
The Committee met seven
times from July 2016 through March 2017 regarding 2016 NEO compensation and evaluated a broad range of corporate performance factors, individual performance updates, market information and regulatory updates, as well as its
pay-for-performance
practices and the results of our annual shareholder meeting, including
say-on-pay
results. The Committee also considered evolving trends, practices, guidance and requirements in the design, regulation, risk-alignment and
governance of compensation matters in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, including Europe and Asia. During these meetings, the Committee received regular updates, including from the Committees independent compensation consultant and independent
external legal counsel, on these and other matters, particularly with respect to the financial services industry.
Peer Group and Benchmarking
Among the many factors used in determining executive compensation, we benchmark our total compensation against a peer group of other major financial
services companies. The Compensation Committee did not treat peer group data as definitive when determining 2016 executive compensation. Rather, it referenced peer group compensation data as well as performance data, but formed its own perspective
on compensation for our NEOs based on a subjective evaluation of many factors.
We consider few firms to be true comparators for the specific scope of
our primary business activities. We include our direct competitors as well as other firms with which we compete in some aspects of our businesses and for executive talent. The group varies in firm size and business lines and the nature of applicable
regulation, including status (like State Street) as a systemically important financial institution. The peers were selected based on a screening methodology that accounts for our industry sector, size, specific business model and applicable
regulatory frameworks. Our generally applicable peer group, periodically reviewed and approved by the Committee, consists of the following 12 firms:
|
|
|
Ameriprise
Financial, Inc.
|
|
JPMorgan
Chase & Co.
|
The Bank of New York
Mellon Corporation
|
|
Morgan
Stanley
|
BlackRock, Inc.
|
|
Northern Trust
Corporation
|
Capital One
Financial Corporation
|
|
The PNC Financial
Services Group, Inc.
|
Franklin Resources,
Inc.
|
|
U.S. Bancorp
|
The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc.
|
|
Wells
Fargo & Company
|
A subset of the above firms, consisting of Bank of New York Mellon, Capital One, JPMorgan, Northern Trust, PNC Financial
Services, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo, is also used for Mr. Hooley. The Committee believes this subset contains the comparator companies most appropriate for evaluating compensation of the Chief Executive Officer position. For Mr. OHanley,
the Committee uses a separate peer group of 11 leading investment management firms.
(1)
The Committee views this separate peer group as a more relevant comparator group for Mr. OHanley, given
his position as the Chief Executive Officer of State Street Global Advisors, our investment management business unit.
In 2016, State Street worked
with Meridian Compensation Partners, the Committees independent compensation consultant, to compile market compensation data from the applicable peer group for benchmarking purposes. The market compensation data
(1)
|
This peer group consists of the following: American Century Investments, Bank of New York Mellon, Columbia Management,
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, MFS Investment Management, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, New York Life Investment Management, Northern Trust Global Investments, Oppenheimer Funds, Principal Global Investors and Prudential Investment
Management.

comprised publicly disclosed compensation and multiple compensation surveys provided by other compensation data providers. In evaluating this data, the Committee considers total compensation to
consist of base salary and incentive compensation. In addition to this peer group data, the Committee received regular updates during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 regarding identified market trends and compensation actions at major financial
services institutions.
The Committee recognizes that the peer group companies vary in size and business lines. In addition, the nature of the roles
of executives varies by firm. Therefore, as noted above, the Committee referenced peer group data, but formed its own perspectives on appropriate compensation levels for our NEOs on a subjective evaluation of many factors.
Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee
directly retains Meridian Compensation Partners to provide compensation consulting to the Committee. Meridian regularly participated in meetings and executive sessions of the Committee. Meridian did not provide any other services to State Street
during 2016.
The Committee believes the consultants primary representatives advising the Committee must be independent of management and the
Committee for the consultant to provide appropriate advice on compensation matters. Therefore, the Committee adopted a policy requiring an annual assessment of compensation consultant independence based on the requirements of the NYSE. In December
2016, the Committee reviewed the independence of Meridians primary representatives under the policy. Following its review, the Committee determined the primary representatives of Meridian to be independent and that no conflicts of interest
were raised by the services of Meridian or its primary representatives.
The Committee reviews data prepared by Willis Towers Watson PLC and
McLagan Partners as part of its consideration of compensation matters. Each of these firms, engaged by our Global Human Resources group based on its specialized expertise in the financial services industry, has provided other services to State
Street in the past and may do so in the future.
Other Elements of Compensation
Additional elements of our compensation program for our NEOs include the following.
Recourse Mechanisms
The incentive compensation awards
to our NEOs are subject to recourse mechanisms, including clawback, forfeiture and
ex ante
adjustment, as described below. These awards are also subject to any compensation recovery or similar requirements under applicable law and
implementing regulations and related State Street policies. This approach is intended to comply with applicable banking regulations and regulatory guidance on incentive compensation and will be interpreted and administered accordingly. The
Compensation Committee anticipates reviewing the terms of these recourse mechanisms in light of evolving market practices and regulatory guidance and may adjust its approach for future incentive compensation awards.
Clawback.
After vesting (if applicable) and delivery to the executive, all amounts delivered to our NEOs under the 2016, 2015 and 2014 incentive
compensation awards, including cash incentive, performance-based RSUs, DSAs and DVAs, contain clawback provisions providing for the repayment of those amounts, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The Compensation Committee,
in its discretion, determines whether clawback is appropriate, making that determination within four years (in the case of performance-based RSUs) or three years (in the case of all other forms of incentive compensation) of the date of the grant of
the award. The events for which clawback may occur include where the executive engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that directly resulted in either:
|
|
financial or reputational harm that is material to State Street and resulted in termination of the executives
employment for cause, or
|
|
|
a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the SEC
|
Forfeiture.
Before vesting and delivery to the executive, all deferred incentive compensation awards to our NEOs, including performance-based RSUs,
DSAs and DVAs, contain provisions permitting the reduction or cancellation of the amount to be vested and delivered under the award, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion,
determines whether forfeiture is appropriate. The events for which forfeiture may occur include:
|
|
if the executives actions exposed State Street to inappropriate risk or risks and such exposure has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss or losses that are or would be substantial in relation to State Streets or a relevant business units revenue, capital and overall risk tolerance

|
if the executive engaged in fraud, gross negligence or any misconduct that was materially detrimental to the interests or
business reputation of State Street or any of its businesses
|
|
|
if, as a result of a material financial restatement or miscalculation or inaccuracy in the determination of performance
metrics, financial results or other criteria, the executive would have received a smaller or no award
|
Ex Ante Adjustment.
Before planned awards are made to the executive for a given compensation year, all incentive compensation for our NEOs, including both deferred incentive compensation awards and the
non-deferred
cash
incentive, is subject to downward adjustment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, determines whether
ex ante
adjustment is appropriate. The events for which
ex
ante
adjustment may occur include:
|
|
if the executives actions exposed State Street to inappropriate risk or risks and such exposure resulted in a
Significantly Below Expectations rating on any of the factors on State Streets corporate multi-factor risk scorecard, which guides State Streets risk assessment process
|
|
|
if the executive incurred significant or repeated compliance or risk-related violations of State Streets policies
|
Retirement Benefits
Our NEOs are
eligible to participate in our 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan available to our employees generally. The plan currently includes a matching employer contribution of 5%. We also maintain a frozen qualified defined benefit pension plan for
certain U.S. employees that determines benefits based on an account balance that is increased annually by interest credits. Each of our NEOs (other than Messrs. Bell and OHanley) participates in this plan; no additional annual pay
credits, however, are provided to their accounts.
Because pension benefits under our qualified defined benefit plan are limited by Internal Revenue
Code restrictions, we maintain two supplemental pension programs, both of which are frozen. One is designed to make up for limits imposed by the qualified plan or by the Internal Revenue Code on qualified-plan benefits, and a second was originally
designed to provide pension benefits equal to a specified percentage of compensation. The latter plan now provides for two separate benefit components: (1) a frozen traditional defined benefit component, in which Messrs. Hooley and Phalen (and
none of our other NEOs) participate; but for which no further contributions are being made, and (2) a defined contribution component, which was frozen in January 2017.
In January 2017, the Compensation Committee amended this defined contribution plan to eliminate the annual defined contribution credits for the 2017
compensation year and for all subsequent compensation years. The supplemental pension program noted above was initially designed to provide executive officers at the executive vice president level or above with competitive retirement benefits and
encourage their continued employment. The traditional defined benefit component was frozen effective January 1, 2008. The Committee froze the defined contribution component in three of the past five years. The Committee decided to permanently
freeze this component following a review of market analyses of executive supplemental retirement plans. These analyses indicated that use of supplemental retirement plans has continued to decline in the market due to cost saving initiatives and the
broader movement from defined benefit to defined contribution plans.
These plans are described in further detail below under the heading
Pension Benefits at Fiscal Year-End.
Deferred Compensation
We maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows NEOs, other executive officers and others to defer both base salary and the portion of
annual incentive bonuses payable in immediately available cash. Participants receive a return based on one or more notional investment options selected by the participant. Currently, the investment options include a money market fund, three State
Street index funds, a State Street common stock fund and six non-U.S. notional funds. The nonqualified deferred compensation plan supplements deferrals made under our
tax-qualified
401(k) plan. We provide
these nonqualified deferred compensation benefits because, in our experience, most companies of our size provide a similar benefit to their senior employees. This plan is described below under the heading 2016 Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation.
Perquisites
We provide a
modest level of perquisites, such as financial planning, annual physicals and personal liability coverage, to our NEOs. In addition, we provide a driver and other security benefits to Mr. Hooley. We offer parking benefits to our other NEOs. We
provide these benefits because we believe they are appropriate in scope and amount to promote the effectiveness of our senior executives, allowing them greater opportunity to focus their attention on our business operations and activities. We do not
provide a tax
gross-up
for the income attributable to any perquisite for our NEOs.

Change-of-Control
Agreements
Under a long-standing program, we have
change-of-control
agreements in place with each of our NEOs. We provide these agreements because we believe providing some protection in the event of a change of control is necessary to attract and retain high quality executives and to help address the possible
inherent distractions during the period leading up to a possible change of control.
Our
change-of-control
arrangements are further described below under the heading Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of ControlChange of Control.
Executive Equity Ownership Guidelines, Practices and Policies
State Street believes executive stock ownership is key to aligning our executives interests with those of our shareholders. It also incents our
executives to meet our financial, strategic and risk management objectives. Therefore, we implemented the following practices, policies and guidelines.
Stock Ownership Guidelines.
Our stock ownership guidelines apply to all members of our Management Committee, including the NEOs. These guidelines
require executives to own shares of common stock with a value equal to the multiple of the relevant executives annual base salary shown below. Guideline levels are phased in over a period of five years, with the first year starting on the
first January 1
st
after the person becomes an executive officer. The executive is expected to attain the ownership level ratably over five years and is deemed to satisfy the guideline if that
ratable ownership level is met.
Our Stock Ownership Guidelines also include a holding requirement. Under this requirement, during the 5 year
phase-in
period, each executive must hold 50% of the net shares received from a vesting event until the ownership requirement is met. Following the 5 year
phase-in
period, if
the ownership guideline is not met, a 100% holding requirement applies until the ownership guideline is satisfied. As of March 1, 2017, the holding requirement does not apply to any of the NEOs as each exceeds their full (not ratable) ownership
guideline.

All of our NEOs exceeded the ownership guideline as of March 1, 2017, other than Mr. Phalen, who
retired on January 20, 2017 and exceeded the ownership guideline as of that date.
|
The level of ownership is calculated on the same
date used for the beneficial ownership table in our annual meeting proxy statement and by reference to the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on that date. Ownership includes unvested shares, DSAs and earned
performance-based RSUs (on an
after-tax
basis), including shares held under our 401(k) retirement plan, but excludes stock options, stock appreciation rights and unearned performance-based RSUs. This
calculation differs from the calculation of shares under applicable SEC rules for purposes of the beneficial ownership table on page 43.
As
noted in the table above, the stock ownership of each NEO exceeded the expected level of ownership under these guidelines.
Securities Trading
Policy; No Hedging or Speculative Trading; Rule
10b5-1
Plans.
State Street has a Securities Trading Policy that contains specific provisions and trading restrictions. The policy is designed primarily to
assist our executive officers, including our NEOs, and other designated employees with access to sensitive information, in their compliance with U.S. federal securities laws in connection with their trading in State Street securities. The policy
contains prohibitions against selling State Street securities short, engaging in hedging transactions in State Street securities and engaging in speculative trading in State Street securities. The policy permits individuals, including our executive
officers, to enter into trading plans designed to comply with Rule
10b5-1
under the Exchange Act of 1934. Rule
10b5-1
allows corporate executives to prearrange sales of
their companys securities in a manner designed to avoid concerns about initiating stock transactions while in possession of material
non-public
information. Our NEOs and other executive officers may,
from time to time, adopt trading plans under Rule
10b5-1
and effect

transactions in our securities under those plans on a predetermined basis. The Securities Trading Policy is in addition to the generally applicable requirements in the State Street Standard of
Conduct, applicable to all employees, that their trading activities must be in compliance with applicable law and that they may not trade on the basis of material
non-public
information.
Equity Grant Guidelines.
The Compensation Committee adopted Equity Grant Guidelines, as described below:
|
|
Annual Equity Award Grants
.
Annual grants of equity awards to our NEOs, other executive officers and other
employees are typically made by the Committee on the date of a scheduled meeting of the Committee or the Board of Directors to be held in February or March of each year following the public release of financial results for the prior fiscal year.
Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, and subject to any limitations that the Board or the Committee may establish, another committee of the Board (which may consist of a single member) may make annual grants to persons other than executive
officers on the date of the scheduled meeting in February or March
|
|
|
Other Equity Award Grants
.
Grants of equity awards to NEOs and other executive officers in connection with
new hirings, promotions, special recognition, retention or other special circumstances are made by the Committee. Awards to other individuals may be made either by the Committee or, subject to any limitations that the Board or the Committee may
establish, a committee of the Board composed of (1) the Chairman of the Board, (2) the Chief Executive Officer, (3) the Committee Chair or (4) the Committee Chair along with any other member of the Committee. This type of award
may be granted on the date of a scheduled meeting of the Committee, a scheduled meeting of the Board or the last business day of a calendar month

Except for the setting of the February or March meeting to occur after our public
release of annual earnings, there was no program, plan or practice with respect to 2016 of timing equity awards in coordination with the release of material
non-public
information.
Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or Section 162(m), generally limits to $1 million the U.S. federal income tax
deductibility of compensation paid in one year to any one of a group of specified employees, including our NEOs (other than our Chief Financial Officer). Performance-based compensation is not subject to the limits on deductibility of
Section 162(m), provided such compensation meets specified requirements, including shareholder approval of material terms of compensation.
The
Compensation Committee considers tax deductibility in making compensation decisions, to the extent deductibility is reasonably practicable and consistent with our other compensation objectives. Our Senior Executive Annual Incentive Plan, or SEAIP,
was approved by our shareholders at the 2016 annual meeting, consistent with our historical practice for approval of this plan at least every five years. Similarly, our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended), or 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, has
previously been approved by our shareholders. In addition, all functions performed by the Compensation Committee related to the qualification of performance-based compensation for exemptions under Section 162(m) for the 2016 compensation year
were performed by the subcommittee described in this proxy statement under the heading Corporate Governance at State StreetCommittees of the Board of DirectorsExecutive Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee
believes, however, that shareholder interests are best served by not restricting its discretion and flexibility in structuring compensation programs, even though such programs may result in
non-deductible
compensation expenses.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee furnishes the following report:
The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with State Street management. Based on this review and discussion, the
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Alignment of Incentive Compensation and Risk
We align incentive compensation with appropriate risk management principles, such as providing incentives that do not encourage unnecessary or excessive
risk-taking and establishing additional process controls and oversight where appropriate. We utilize broad and integrated processes to maintain this alignment, including to:
|
|
conduct risk-based reviews of incentive plan design
|
|
|
identify individuals whose activities may expose State Street to material amounts of risk
|
|
|
adjust compensation for risk
|
|
|
implement specific Board committee review of selected control function compensation (
e.g.,
Board-level Examining
and Audit Committee review of Chief Compliance Officer and Compliance Department compensation)
|
STATE STREET CORPORATION

Risk-Based Review of Incentive Plan Design Incentive compensation arrangements are designed through consultation with
the relevant business units, including a formalized requirement for review and input by risk management aligned to those business units A management committee (the Incentive Compensation Control Committee, or ICCC) comprising senior representatives
of our risk management and internal control functions assesses all incentive compensation arrangements to promote their consistency with the safety and soundness of State Street and with applicable regulatory guidance and regulations Both the
Compensation Committee and a management committee focusing on compliance and ethics receive a report containing the ICCCs risk assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of State Streets incentive compensation system in
providing risk-taking incentives that are consistent with the organizations safety and soundness The Compensation Committee interacts closely with our Risk Committee, whose Chair is also a member of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
Committee also annually meets with our Chief Risk Officer and our Chief Human Resources Officer to evaluate the incentive compensation plans for all State Street employees, including the NEOs, relative to risk management principles Identification of
Material Risk-Takers Through a process led by our Enterprise Risk Management group, we identify the population of individuals whose activities may expose State Street to material amounts of risk (material risk-takers) Our internal
compensation arrangements with these employees provide for risk adjustments if required. See Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for Material Risk Takers below Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for Material Risk
Takers Incentive compensation awarded to material risk-takers is subject to risk-based adjustments both before and after the compensation is awarded (ex ante and ex post adjustments, respectively) Ex ante adjustments are guided by a standardized
risk management assessment of firm-wide risk developed by our Enterprise Risk Management group and approved by the Risk Committee of our Board of Directors Ex post adjustments reduce or cancel the amount remaining to be paid under the relevant award
if the Committee determines that the actions of the material risk-taker exposed State Street to inappropriate risk and that exposure has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss or losses that are or would be substantial
in relation to the revenue, capital and overall risk tolerance of State Street For members of our Management Committee, including each NEO, the risk-based forfeiture provision is in addition to our misconduct and financial restatement-related
forfeiture provision The 2016 and 2015 incentive compensation for each member of our Management Committee, including each NEO, is also subject to clawback by State Street under specified circumstances. See above under the heading Other
Elements of CompensationRecourse Mechanisms. Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for All Employees Results of business unit- and corporate function-level scorecard-based risk assessments are used as an input to allocate bonus pools to
each business unit and corporate function as well as further
sub-allocations.
Individual accountability is also assessed as appropriate for all employees Poor risk performance, including significant or
repeated violations of policies administered by State Streets Corporate Compliance Division may result in ex ante adjustments to employee incentive compensation as part of a progressive discipline structure to hold individual employees
accountable for risk performance A general forfeiture provision applies to all employees where employment is terminated for gross misconduct and applies to the entire portion of deferred compensation awards made to deferred compensation-eligible
employees, including performance-based RSUs, DSAs and DVAs. Board Committee Review of Selected Control Function Compensation Committees of our Board of Directors with oversight of an area managed by each control function review the performance
assessment and individual compensation recommendations for the heads of the relevant control function, as well as an overview of the compensation for the entire control function Results of these Board-level committee reviews are reported to the
Compensation Committee as an input into final compensation recommendations This process provides the relevant committee with additional perspective on the performance of the relevant control function and whether that function is being allocated
appropriate resources and compensation

Amounts in this column show total compensation, as determined under applicable SEC rules and reported in column (j),
minus the change in pension value reported in column (h). This is provided to illustrate the effect that the year-over-year change in pension value had on total compensation as determined under applicable SEC rules and to highlight the effect of the
Compensation Committees decisions on total compensation year-over-year. Refer to the compensation table included in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 35 for the Committees compensation decisions for each NEO. The amounts
reported in the Total without Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column differ from the amounts reported in the Total column (column (j)) and are not a substitute for total compensation calculated in accordance
with SEC rules. The change in pension value is subject to external variables that are not related to State Streets performance.

Salary column displays actual 2016 compensation paid as salary. As of January 2016, all US employees transitioned to a
one week in arrears pay schedule which resulted in one less pay period during 2016.

2016 amounts represent the grant date fair value of awards granted to the NEOs during the indicated years for deferred
share awards and performance-based restricted stock unit awards. Fair value for the awards for each year is computed in accordance with GAAP (FASB ASC 718), using the assumptions stated in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in our
Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2016. Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved for the performance based-restricted stock units, the maximum value at grant date
would be as follows: Mr. Hooley: $6,480,030; Mr. Bell: $2,591,972; Mr. Rogers: $4,385,756; Mr. OHanley: $3,434,395; and Mr. Phalen: $3,369,694. Please refer to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2016 table for the threshold, target
and maximum levels for performance-based awards. There were no awards of stock options or stock appreciation rights to any of the named executive officers in the relevant years.

Represents the immediate and deferred cash (granted in Deferred Value Awards, or DVAs) portions of incentive
compensation. DVAs are units representing the notional investment return of a money market instrument. The number of units is increased to provide an estimated annual return over the deferral period: 2.50% for DVAs awarded in February 2017 for 2016,
2.75% for DVAs awarded in February 2016 for 2015 and 2.50% for DVAs awarded in February 2015 for 2014. The adjustment factor is 5.16% for DVAs awarded in February 2017 for 2016 and was 5.92% for DVAs awarded in February 2016 for 2015 and 5.34% for
DVAs awarded in February 2015 for 2014. The amounts shown above include these adjustments. The cash portion of incentive compensation for 2016 was awarded as follows (including the DVA adjustment factor): Mr. Hooley: $625,000 immediate cash,
$1,971,750 DVAs; Mr. Bell: $255,750 immediate cash, $903,587 DVAs; Mr. Rogers: $418,065 immediate cash, $1,947,495 DVAs; Mr. OHanley: $393,500 immediate cash, $2,288,807 DVAs; Mr. Phalen: $340,000 immediate cash, $1,325,016
DVAs.

Because our deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market earnings, no earnings are included in this column.
The amounts in this column represent the change in the actuarial present value of the accumulated benefits under our qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans. The plans are frozen and none of the NEOs are receiving additional credits
under the plans. Since Mr. Bell and Mr. OHanley were hired by State Street after January 1, 2008, they are not eligible to participate in the defined benefit pension plans. For 2016, the change in value presented in the Summary
Compensation Table above reflects a year-over-year update to applicable actuarial calculation assumptions from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, including a change to the mortality assumption related to observed mortality
improvements and a decrease in the discount rate assumption for the State Street Retirement Plan (SSRP), the Management Supplemental Retirement Plan (MSRP) and the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (ESRP), as well as formula-driven changes due
to the executives being older and closer to retirement. These updates resulted in increases in the actuarial present value of benefits as of December 31, 2016 for the current NEOs. The table below describes the change in pension value for 2016,
as presented in the Summary Compensation Table above, highlighting the split between (i) the amount attributable to change in age, including ESRP benefit indexing, and (ii) the amount attributable to the actuarial present value effect of
the decrease in market interest rates and mortality improvements. The change in pension value presented in the Summary Compensation Table above and in the following table represents actuarial calculations based upon assumptions on the relevant
dates. The actuarial present value of the accumulated pension benefits calculated on future dates may increase or decrease, based upon assumptions applicable on those future dates and on formula-driven changes due to the executives age and
ESRP benefit indexing. ESRP defined benefits are indexed three percent per year as a
cost-of-living
adjustment up to December 31, 2017. The aggregate change in
pension value was positive for Messrs. Hooley and Rogers primarily due to the changes in the discount rate and lump sum conversion factor changes; the aggregate change for Mr. Phalen was positive due to the recognition of known timing and
payment information. For more details, refer to footnote B of the 2016 Change in Pension Value table below.

(A)
|
The change in pension value due to an additional year of age was quantified by comparing (i) the December 31,
2015 present value of pension benefits with (ii) the present value of pension benefits calculated on December 31, 2016 holding the December 31, 2015 discount rate and mortality assumptions constant. Since the plans were frozen as of
December 31, 2010 and there are no service accruals provided after that date, the increase in value reflects the effects on the present value calculation of pension benefits of the NEO having aged one additional year closer to normal retirement
age (65).
|
|
(B)
|
The change in pension value due to changes in assumptions was quantified by comparing (i) the present value of
pension benefits calculated as of December 31, 2016 based on the December 31, 2016 discount rates, form of payment, and mortality assumptions and (ii) subtracting from that the relevant amounts determined to be due to additional age,
as set forth in footnote (A) above. The impact of reflecting the mortality improvements and the new form of payment assumption for the SSRP resulted in a negligible decrease of pension value. For Mr. Phalen, however, because he retired
during January 2017, his actual payment amount and timing of payments is now known under the MSRP and ESRP. This computation was updated to reflect the known timing and payment information of these benefits. Separately, the timing of the Retirement
Plan (State Streets qualified defined benefit plan) payment is still unknown and therefore, no change in payment timing was reflected.

(A)
|
Amount includes the cost of a car and driver (Mr. Hooley only). For the car and driver in 2016, the aggregate
incremental cost ($30,784) was determined by allocating the total cost between personal and business use by mileage traveled. Amount also includes parking benefits for Messrs. Hooley, Rogers, OHanley and Phalen at $7,200.
|
|
(B)
|
Amount represents the cost of security at the residence of Mr. Hooley. This amount was determined by invoice amounts
for alarm monitoring and maintenance.
|
|
(C)
|
The amounts shown include expatriate benefits received by Mr. Phalen in accordance with his international
assignment. State Street provides expatriate employees with cost of living, housing and other relocation assistance as well as a tax equalization policy (designed to maintain a level of income tax equivalent to that applicable in the home country)
applicable to all employees working on temporary international assignments in jurisdictions other than their home country. Although tax equalization is provided only with respect to the period of active employment on an expatriate assignment, State
Street may make payments under the policy following the conclusion of the expatriate assignment. This could occur due to the timing of final tax filings and tax settlements that can be difficult to predict. As such, in connection with
Mr. Phalens prior assignment to the United Kingdom as Head of International Operations for Investment Servicing and Investment Research and Trading, State Street made payments of $11,350.
|
|
(D)
|
Includes the following company contributions: (1) $13,250 to the Salary Savings Program (SSP) for each NEO and (2)
$11,750 to the Management Supplemental Savings Plan (MSSP) for each of Messrs. Hooley and Bell.
|
|
(E)
|
Represents charitable donations and the matching gift program, excluding the $5,000 benefit available to all employees of
State Street. In 2016, Executive Vice Presidents and above serving on
non-profit
boards were allowed to annually recommend a financial contribution from the State Street Foundation to the same
non-profit
up to $25,000. Messrs. Rogers and Phalen directed contributions of $25,000 in 2016. Matching charitable contributions were made in the name of Messrs. Hooley, Rogers, OHanley and Phalen to charities
of their choice under State Streets matching gift program ($30,000 for Messrs. Hooley, Rogers and Phalen; $20,000 for Mr. OHanley).

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Narrative Disclosure Accompanying Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
The awards set forth in the Estimated Possible Payouts Under
Non-Equity
Incentive Plan Awards column
of the Grants of Plan- Based Awards table were awarded as annual incentives in the form of immediate and deferred cash (granted in deferred value awards). The 2016 annual incentive awards referenced in this table were granted as part of 2016
incentive compensation in February 2017. The targets, minimum (0%) and maximum (200%), are described above under the heading, Compensation Discussion and Analysis2016 Compensation DecisionsTotal Compensation
ApproachIndividual Compensation TargetsAnnual Incentive. Payouts under these annual incentive awards are included in the 2016 row of the
Non-Equity
Incentive Plan Compensation
column of the Summary Compensation Table.
The awards set forth in the Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards column
of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table were performance-based restricted stock unit awards. These awards were granted as part of the long-term incentive component of 2015 incentive compensation, awarded in February 2016 under the 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan. Payouts under these awards are currently shown as earned at 100% (target); however, the percent at which the awards are actually earned will be determined based on the three-year simple average of the return on equity determined
under GAAP for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018.
The deferred share awards, or DSAs, set forth in the All Other
Awards column of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, were awarded as part of the long-term incentive component of 2015 incentive compensation, awarded in February 2016. These awards vest ratably in annual installments over four years. The
DSA share awards were granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.
Effective for stock awards granted on or after February 20, 2014, State
Street modified its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and related award agreements to provide for a double-trigger change of control vesting provision. The double trigger provides, in the context of a change of control, that awards will only receive
accelerated vesting if the executive incurs a qualified termination following the change of control. For a description of qualified terminations, see below in this proxy statement under the heading Potential Payments upon Termination or Change
of Control.
The Compensation Committee generally intends to structure our incentive compensation program for our NEOs so that our immediate
cash incentives, DVAs and DSAs are Section 162(m)-qualified performance-based compensation delivered under the SEAIP, which has been approved by our shareholders. Our performance-based RSUs are granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and are
also intended to qualify under Section 162(m). Under the SEAIP, the Committee annually establishes an incentive target for each NEO. For 2016, this target provides a maximum payout opportunity equal to a percentage of our operating-basis net income
before income taxes and incentive compensation, or Operating NIBTIC, and subject to an annual limit of $10 million per executive. Operating NIBTIC for 2016 was $3.812 billion. The 2016 SEAIP incentive target for each of our NEOs was:
0.252398% for Mr. Hooley; 0.165636% for Mr. Bell; 0.227158% for Mr. Rogers; 0.214538% for Mr. OHanley and 0.201918% for Mr. Phalen. The Committee may use its discretion to reduce, but not increase, both the Operating
NIBTIC amount used for the above purposes and the amount of compensation awarded to any one or more executives below the payout opportunity permitted under the SEAIP. For 2016, the Committee did not exercise discretion to reduce Operating NIBTIC,
but, for each NEO, the Committee exercised discretion to reduce the amount of incentive compensation awarded under the SEAIP below the applicable payout opportunity. As applicable, all 2016 awards under the SEAIP fell within the incentive
compensation ranges described above under the heading, Compensation Discussion and Analysis2016 Compensation DecisionsTotal Compensation ApproachIndividual Compensation Targets.

Retirement Plan and MSRP service is credited from first anniversary of date of hire, but plans are frozen with benefits
ceasing to accrue for Mr. Rogers on December 31, 2005 (frozen benefit from the Investors Bank & Trust Pension Plan that merged with the State Street Retirement Plan in December 2011) and for Messrs. Hooley and Phalen on
December 31, 2010. ESRP service is credited from date of hire. For Mr. Hooleys ESRP benefit, prior service for nine years with a State Street joint venture counts as credited service with State Street. The Committee does not consider
this credit to represent extra years of service since it covers service with an affiliated company.

Actuarial assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2016, include the following:
|
|
|
benefit obligations are determined using a discount rate of 4.09% for the Retirement Plan, 3.59% for MSRP, and 3.31% for
ESRP as of December 31, 2016
|
|
|
retirement age assumed to be Normal Retirement Age as defined by each plan (except in the case of Mr. Phalen for the
MSRP and ESRP, where benefits commencement is assumed to be his retirement date in January 2017)
|
|
|
no
pre-retirement
mortality, disability or termination assumed
|
|
Consistent with valuation assumptions, the form of payment reflected in this December 31, 2016 disclosure is 85%
lump sum or installment payment and 15% annuity for the Retirement Plan and 100% 3 year installment for the MSRP and ESRP.
|
State
Street maintains a qualified defined benefit plan, referred to as the Retirement Plan. The Retirement Plan has been frozen to new accruals since January 1, 2008 (or as of January 1, 2011 for certain participants who met a specified
combination of age and completed years of service; applied for Messrs. Hooley and Phalen). Prior to 1990, the Retirement Plan was a final average pay plan. Since January 1, 1990, the Retirement Plan has determined benefits using a cash balance
formula. Under this formula, a notional account was established for each eligible participant which increased annually by both interest credits and pay credits. Interest credits are made at a specified rate and pay credits were based upon a
percentage of the participants pay for applicable calendar years until the plan was frozen effective January 1, 2008 (as of January 1, 2011 in certain cases noted above). The pay credit percentages were 4.00% for the 1st year of
participation increasing to 11.25% for the 30th year and 0 thereafter. Eligible pay included a participants salary, overtime, cash incentive compensation and commissions.
In general, until August 31, 2003, the Retirement Plan provided that eligible participants who were continuously employed since December 31,
1989 and who retired after reaching age 55 would receive the greater of their cash balance account or the annual benefit derived from the grandfathered final average pay formula. For a participant with 30 or more years of service, the
grandfathered formula would result in a benefit of 50% of final average pay (counting base salary only) minus 50% of the estimated Social Security benefit. For periods of service of less than 30 years, the benefit is reduced on a pro rata basis by
year. The grand-

fathered portion of this better of treatment was frozen effective August 31, 2003 by ceasing future accruals under this formula based on a participants eligible average pay
earned and benefit service completed after August 31, 2003. Years of service completed after that date continue to be counted, however, for purposes of determining early retirement reduction factors.
The normal retirement age under the Retirement Plan is 65, although earlier retirement options are available. The Retirement Plan has a three-year vesting
provision and participants who are vested are entitled to receive their account balances or equivalent annuities if they cease to be employed before retirement.
To comply with federal tax rules, the Retirement Plan limits the benefit that a participant may receive and the amount of compensation that may be taken
into account for any participant in any year. State Street has maintained a supplemental retirement plan, the Management Supplemental Retirement Plan, referred to as the MSRP, that was designed to provide affected employees the benefits that would
be payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The MSRP has been frozen in the same manner as described above for the Retirement Plan.
State Street also maintains the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, referred to as the ESRP, to provide officers at the executive vice president level
or higher with competitive retirement benefits and encourage their continued employment. Officers become eligible to participate in the ESRP upon their appointment to an eligible position. During 2016, all of the NEOs participated in the ESRP,
although, as described below Messrs. Bell and Rogers were only eligible to participate in the defined contribution portion of the ESRP.
The ESRP
provides two separate benefit components: a traditional defined benefit component, which was frozen effective January 1, 2008, and a defined contribution component, which was frozen effective January 1, 2017. In general, the defined
benefit component of the ESRP (when expressed as a life annuity commencing at age 65) accrues at the annual rate of 2.5% of eligible earnings (generally base salary plus incentive compensation under the SEAIP), up to a maximum of 50.0% of eligible
earnings. This formula benefit is offset by pension benefits from State Street or other sources, including a former employer, but excluding Social Security. For participants who retire early, the defined benefit component is reduced by a factor of
3.0% for each year under the age of 65 (the standard reduction factors), except that any participants who on January 1, 2005 were at least age 55 and had completed at least 10 years of service are subject instead to a monthly early
retirement reduction of their formula benefit aggregating to 1.0% per year between age 60 and 65 and to 2.5% per year between ages 55 and 60 (the
pre-2005
reduction factors), with the offset for
other plan benefits reduced by the applicable factors under those plans. If a participant becomes disabled or dies before retirement, the ESRP pays a disability benefit equal to the participants accrued defined benefit component including
offsets, reduced for early retirement age and multiplied by a percentage determined by dividing the sum of the participants age and service by 85, and a death benefit equal to
one-half
of the benefit
calculated in the same manner.
For certain participants, the ESRP also contains special defined benefit provisions that may apply in lieu of or in
addition to the general defined benefit provisions. In Mr. Hooleys case, the actuarial equivalent of a hypothetical account balance that is periodically adjusted for interest on the same basis as the cash balance accounts under State
Streets
tax-qualified
defined benefit plan is added to the benefit determined from the defined benefit formula under the ESRP. No offsets apply to this formula benefit. As of 2016, the balance of this
hypothetical account was $1,127,914. In addition, Mr. Hooley is credited with nine years of service under the plan for his service at a State Street joint venture and at State Street prior to the joint venture service. These special defined
benefit provisions were implemented in accordance with a 2005 amendment to the plan specifically addressing the unique circumstances of Mr. Hooleys service.
Effective January 1, 2008, the ESRP was amended to freeze the defined benefit component. However, these benefits will continue to receive a 3% index
each year as a
cost-of-living
adjustment through December 31, 2017. The amended plan includes a transition that continued the defined benefit component for certain
executives who had attained age 50 and had served as an executive vice president for at least five years as of December 31, 2007. Messrs. Hooley and Phalen were provided with transition benefits that continued the defined benefit component
until January 1, 2010, and their benefits are subject to the standard reduction factors. Messrs. Bell, OHanley and Rogers are ineligible to participate in the defined benefit portion of the ESRP since Messrs. Bell and OHanley were
hired after December 31, 2007 and Mr. Rogers was appointed as Executive Vice President on July 2, 2007.
The defined contribution
component of the ESRP was added to the plan effective January 1, 2008 and frozen effective January 1, 2017. This component of the ESRP generally provides that each of the named executive officers will receive, each year that they remain
employed by State Street, an annual defined contribution credit to a book-keeping account in the amount of $200,000. Amounts credited to the account may be allocated by the executive among available notional investment options. Each of the

NEOs was also eligible to receive an additional $200,000 grant of deferred share awards under State Streets equity incentive plan for each applicable year.
All defined contribution benefits under the ESRP are subject to retirement eligibility and vesting. Participants are eligible to receive one-third of
their defined contribution ESRP benefit if they have attained age 53 and have a combined age and service of at least 60 (Rule of 60); vesting increases to
two-thirds
on the 1st birthday following
initial vesting and to full vesting on the 2nd birthday following initial vesting. Defined contribution benefits under the ESRP are subject to forfeiture in the event a participants employment terminates for any reason other than death or
disability prior to vesting at any time. Effective August 1, 2012, for executives hired or rehired on or after that date, a minimum service requirement of five years was added to the definition of the Rule of 60 in determining early
retirement eligibility. Messrs. Bell and OHanley are the only NEOs to whom this provision applies, as they were hired in June 2013 and April 2015, respectively.
Vested participants who terminate their employment will receive their defined contribution benefit from the ESRP in three equal installments, with
payments on the first day of the month coinciding with or following each of the
six-month,
one-year
and
two-year
anniversaries of
their termination of employment. In addition, benefits terminate if the participant engages in certain competitive activities within
two-years
of termination of employment.
The Compensation Committee approved amendments to the ESRP for the 2015 and 2016 compensation years that served to eliminate the generally applicable
annual defined contribution credits and deferred share awards for those years. Effective January 1, 2017, the ESRP was amended to freeze the defined contribution component to all future accruals. Account balances as of January 1, 2017 will
remain in place until distributed per the terms of the plan.
Based on age and service to State Street, Mr. Hooley is eligible for early
retirement under the Retirement Plan and related supplemental plans. Since Messrs. Bell and OHanley were hired at State Street after December 31, 2007, they do not participate in the Retirement Plan, the MSRP or the defined benefit
portion of the ESRP. Messrs. Bell and OHanley are participants in the defined contribution portion of the ESRP. Mr. Bell has not met the age and service requirements for early retirement under that plan. Mr. OHanley is eligible
for early retirement, but does not have an ESRP defined contribution account balance. Since Mr. Rogers was part of the Investors Bank & Trust acquisition in 2007, he was not eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan or the MSRP.
Mr. Rogers was a participant in the Investors Bank & Trust (IBT) Pension Plan (which merged with the Retirement Plan on December 15, 2011), and he is eligible for early retirement. The IBT Pension Plan has been frozen to new
accruals since January 1, 2006. Mr. Rogers was appointed to the position of Executive Vice President on July 2, 2007 and, therefore, was not eligible to participate in the defined benefit portion of the ESRP. Mr. Rogers is a
participant in the defined contribution portion of the ESRP and is eligible for early retirement under that plan.
Under the benefit formula described
above, each of Messrs. Hooley, Bell, Rogers, OHanley and Phalen would have received the following benefits if he had retired at the end of 2016:

State Street maintains the State Street Corporation Management Supplemental Savings Plan, referred to as the MSSP, for designated
highly compensated or managerial employees, which includes the NEOs. The MSSP provides eligible employees savings and company matching contribution opportunities beyond the Internal Revenue Code limits imposed under the State Streets Salary
Savings Program, referred to as the SSP. Under the MSSP, eligible employees may elect, prior to the beginning of a year, to defer (a) from 1% to 50% of base salary for the year, and/or (b) a percentage, from 5% to 100% of otherwise
immediately payable annual cash bonus incentives (net of FICA withholding), excluding any amount subject to automatic deferral.
Like the SSP, the
MSSP provides a 5% employer matching contribution. For 2016, State Street matched all deferrals made under the MSSP for 2016 up to a maximum of 5% of a participants MSSP match-eligible compensation, which is defined as the lesser of
(i) base salary plus annual cash incentive compensation or (ii) $500,000, in either case reduced by the applicable Internal Revenue Code cap on annual compensation ($265,000 in 2016).
A book-keeping account is maintained for each participant reflecting deferrals, matching credits and increases or decreases based on the performance of
notional investments selected by the employee, or on a default notional investment if the employee does not make a selection. A participant may change notional investments daily. The notional investments available for 2016 and the rate of return for
the year were as set forth below.

|
Non-U.S.
notional funds were added as investment options for the defined
contribution ESRP effective June 1, 2015. Only two of these options, the SSGA Euro Core Treasury Bond Index Fund and the State Street Europe Index Equity Fund, have been selected by participants for notional investments. Rates of return were
not provided for the other
non-U.S.
investment options given they have not been selected by participants.
|
Participants elect to receive either or both of their base salary or immediate cash incentive compensation deferrals from the MSSP in a lump sum either
(i) on the first business day of the month following the
six-month
anniversary of the participants termination of employment or (ii) at a specified date not earlier than three years from the
election date. Participants may also elect to receive deferrals in installments over two to ten years commencing on the
six-month
anniversary of the participants termination of employment. Distributions are
subject to certain acceleration rules. Participants may change distribution elections consistent with limitations set forth in the plan and tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation. Matching and historical performance-based credits
are automatically paid in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the
six-month
anniversary of the employees termination of employment. A participants account is payable in a lump sum
upon the participants death. A participant who experiences a severe and unanticipated financial need may request a withdrawal of amounts deferred under the plan subject to certain restrictions.
The MSSP was amended during 2016 in order to modify the definition of eligible compensation used in determining plan eligibility. The
definition of eligible compensation now includes incentive pay contemplated under a corporate transaction that occurred during the same year. Additionally, the plan was amended to add State Street Global Advisors Trust Company (SSGATC)
as a participating employer.
Amounts related to the defined contribution component of the ESRP, which is described in the narrative accompanying the
Pension Benefits table, are included in the figures above under the Pension Benefits section. The notional investment options available for the defined contribution ESRP are the same as the notional investment options listed
above for the MSSP, with the addition of six
non-US
notional funds

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control
The tables below show certain potential payments that would have been made to an NEO if the NEOs employment had terminated on December 31, 2016
under various scenarios, including a change of control. The tables do not include the pension benefits or nonqualified deferred compensation that would be paid to an NEO, which are set forth in the Pension Benefits and 2016
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation tables above, except to the extent that the NEO is entitled to an additional benefit as a result of the termination. In addition, the tables do not include the value of vested but unexercised stock options as
of December 31, 2016. The footnotes to the tables describe the assumptions used in estimating the amounts shown in the tables.

Each of our NEOs is also entitled to benefits payable upon retirement or other qualifying termination under State
Streets defined benefit pension plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans. These plans are described above under Pension Benefits and 2016 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. All payments upon the separation
from service of specified employees within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code are subject to a 6-month delay under the rules of Section 409A to the extent applicable. In addition, upon a qualifying retirement, all
eligible employees, including our NEOs, may continue medical coverage until age 65 under State Streets welfare benefit program. A qualifying retirement requires attainment of age 55, completion of 5 years of service and participation in State
Streets medical plan at the time of retirement. As of December 31, 2016, Messrs. Hooley, Rogers and Phalen are the only current NEOs who meet these conditions. Fixed cost sharing subsidies apply upon the qualifying retirements of
employees who have attained age 47 and completion of 7 years of service as of December 31, 2007. Assuming a termination of employment as of December 31, 2016, Mr. Hooley is the only current NEO who would be eligible for fixed cost
sharing subsidies.

State Street has a severance plan that provides benefits to all eligible employees upon specified involuntary separations
from service due to an organizational change, such as a reduction in force. Employees are required to execute a separation agreement and release acceptable to State Street in order to receive benefits under the plan. The severance plan provides for
an amount of severance pay equal to a specified number of weeks of base salary, up to a maximum, based on employment title. These severance benefits are subject to the employees compliance with specified restrictive covenants including
confidentiality and
non-solicitation.
For all eligible employees who hold an executive vice president or more senior title, including our current NEOs, the plan provides for a severance period of 52 weeks
(including a 2-week notice period) of base salary plus 4 weeks of base salary per completed year of service up to a maximum of 104 weeks of base salary. In addition, the plan provides for continued participation in State Streets welfare
benefit plan for the severance period at active employee rates (subject to timely enrollment in COBRA continuation coverage) and personal outplacement services by a third-party provider. Amounts above assume a qualifying termination of employment at
December 31, 2016. For these purposes, the severance amounts are not discounted for payment over time and welfare benefits are valued at 2016 rates.
|
|
a.
|
In accordance with the terms of the Transition Agreement dated April 15, 2016 between State Street and
Mr. Bell, Mr. Bell is not eligible for benefits under the State Street Severance Plan in connection with any termination of his employment.
|
(3)
|
Calculations assume a change of control occurred on December 31, 2016 and a qualifying termination of employment
entitling the executive to the specified benefits occurred on that date. The value of shares of common stock used in calculations is based on the closing price of State Streets common stock on the NYSE on December 30, 2016, $77.72.
Effective March 26, 2014, none of the NEOs are eligible to receive a
gross-up
payment in connection with their change of control benefits. For a detailed description of payments and benefits under a
termination in connection with change of control refer to the Change of Control section below.
|
|
a.
|
The amount would be paid as a lump sum but has been calculated without any present-value discount assuming that base pay
would continue at 2016 rates and SEAIP bonuses would remain at the target levels established for 2016. Severance is reduced in the event that reducing parachute payments to the 280G safe harbor level would result in a higher
after-tax
payment. Assuming a change of control occurred on December 31, 2016, this would only be applicable to Mr. Phalens severance payment upon a qualifying termination of employment.

Supplemental Cash Incentive Plan, all deferred incentive awards continue to vest if an employee (1) is terminated involuntarily other than for gross misconduct, (2) retires after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years of service with
State Street, (3) becomes disabled or (4) dies. Vesting and payment of DSAs will be accelerated in full in the case of death, and vesting and payment of DVAs will be accelerated in full in the case of death or disability. In the 4
termination scenarios listed in this footnote, performance-based RSUs will continue to vest and be paid on the scheduled payment date, subject to attainment and certification of performance measures. Performance-based RSUs for the 2016 award year
have a 3-year performance measurement period (January 1, 2016 December 31, 2018) and will cliff vest upon certification at the end of the period. For these purposes, shares of common stock are valued at the closing per share price of our
common stock on December 30, 2016 ($77.72) and are currently shown as earned at 100% (target); however, the percent at which the awards actually will be earned will remain unknown until the end of the 3-year performance period. Deferred
incentive awards to our NEOs that continue to vest as scheduled after termination remain subject to applicable forfeiture and clawback provisions. DVAs that are paid on an accelerated basis following disability remain subject to applicable clawback
provisions in the case of awards granted in 2016 for 2015 performance and for subsequent performance years. DSAs and DVAs that are paid on an accelerated basis following death do not remain subject to clawback provisions. For a description of
forfeiture and clawback provisions, see above in this proxy statement under the heading Compensation Design Elements Recourse Mechanisms.

(5)
|
Should an employee terminate due to death or disability prior to the payment date of current year immediate cash
incentives, a
pro-rated
amount may be paid in State Streets sole discretion to the participant or his/her estate.
|
(6)
|
All NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Bell, are fully vested in their pension benefits. Amounts shown for
Mr. Bell reflect the balance of his unvested annual defined contribution cash credits and deferred share awards as of December 31, 2016 under the ESRP. Vesting and payment of these amounts under the ESRP will be accelerated in the event of
death or disability.

|
Excludes Mr. Phalens 1998 deferred share award as he elected to defer the receipt of this award until his
termination of service at State Street. This award was distributed on January 20, 2017 in connection with his retirement.
|
Change of Control
State Street has entered into an agreement with each of our NEOs that would become effective upon a change of control of State Street or upon
a termination of employment arising in connection with or in anticipation of such change of control. A change of control is defined to include the acquisition of 25% or more of our outstanding stock, the failure of incumbent directors (or their
designated successors) to constitute a majority of the board of directors or a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets in which State Street shareholders do not retain a majority of the voting power of the surviving
or successor corporation and incumbent directors do not constitute a majority of the board. These agreements have a 2-year term that is annually renewed at the end of the year, unless State Street gives the executive notice at least 60 days before
the annual renewal date that the agreement will not be renewed.
Each
change-of-control
agreement provides for two years continued employment after a change of control on terms commensurate with those previously in effect, including
base salary at an unreduced rate and minimum incentive compensation set at the target incentive compensation amount under the SEAIP applicable to the executive officer for the fiscal year in which the change of control occurs. Each agreement also
provides for continued participation in incentive, savings, welfare benefit, fringe benefit and retirement plans on terms no less favorable than those in effect prior to the change of control, and payment of legal fees in connection with the
enforcement of the executive officers rights under the agreement.
The
change-of-control
agreements also provide our NEOs with the payment of accrued salary and benefits, including a
pro-rated
target
incentive compensation amount under the SEAIP, in the event of a termination by reason of death or disability, and they provide for additional severance benefits as summarized below upon the cessation of employment under a double-trigger
mechanism. This mechanism requires the occurrence of both a change of control and either the termination of employment without cause or by the officer for good reason.
The severance benefits provided include (1) a lump sum payment, subject to a maximum of $10 million, equal to 2 times the sum of base salary and
the target incentive compensation under the SEAIP for the year of the change of control, (2) a lump sum payment equal to 2 times State Streets contributions to the defined contribution retirement plans applicable to the officer,
(3) in the case of officers who are eligible to participate in State Streets frozen qualified and supplemental defined benefit plans, a lump sum payment equal to the actuarial value of the incremental benefit that the officer would have
received under such plans had he or she remained employed for 2 years after the date of termination, (4) continued employee welfare benefits for 2 years after the date of termination, (5) reasonable outplacement services and (6) to
the extent not already vested, immediate vesting in benefits under the ESRP.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
Effective February 20, 2014, State Street amended its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, its Amended and
Restated Supplemental Cash Incentive Plan and award agreements under those plans to provide for accelerated vesting and payment of awards under a double trigger mechanism. This standard applies to all deferred equity and cash awards
granted on or after February 20, 2014, including awards to our NEOs. Those agreements now provide, in the context of a change of control, for accelerated vesting and payment only upon a change of control and either a termination of employment
without cause or by the officer for good reason, in each case on or prior to the first anniversary of the change of control. Each deferred award granted prior to 2014 to State Street employees, including our NEOs, under which shares remain
outstanding, continues to provide for accelerated vesting and payment of shares upon a change of control only. Performance-based RSUs will convert into State Street common stock at the following rates in the case of a change of control occurring
prior to the end of the 3-year performance period: (i) 100% in the case of a change of control in the 1st year, (ii) in the 2nd year at the rate obtained by averaging the actual GAAP ROE results for the 1st calendar year, adjusted in accordance
with the Plan, and 100% for each of the 2nd and 3rd years and (iii) in the 3rd year at the rate obtained by averaging the actual GAAP ROE results, adjusted in accordance with the Plan, for each of the 1st and 2nd calendar years and 100% for the
3rd year.
In March 2014, State Street and each of our executive officers, including our current NEOs, amended the
change-of-control
agreements with those officers, to eliminate the
gross-up
payment. Pursuant to the amendments, effective March 26, 2014, each
change-of-control
agreement provides that, in the event
change-of-control
benefits would exceed
110% of the product of 2.99 multiplied by the officers base amount, then the value of such benefits shall be either (i) subject to a cutback or (ii) delivered in full, whichever of the foregoing provides the executive the greatest
benefit on an
after-tax
basis (with the golden parachute excise tax being the responsibility of the executive to pay). If benefits are below the 110% threshold, the executive would be subject to an automatic
cutback to assure that the
change-of-control
benefits do not exceed 2.99 times the NEOs base amount.
The amounts set forth in the column entitled Termination in Connection with Change of Control in the tables above are based on the
hypothetical assumption that on December 31, 2016 State Street had a change of control and that immediately thereafter, but also on December 31, 2016, the executive was terminated, received a lump sum payment of all cash entitlements under
the
change-of-control
agreement and benefited from acceleration of all equity awards accelerating upon the change of control.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

ITEM 2 APPROVAL OF ADVISORY PROPOSAL ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders approve the advisory proposal on executive compensation set forth
below. Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board will be voted for the approval of this advisory proposal. We believe that shareholder feedback on executive compensation is important and have
provided shareholders the opportunity to vote annually on an advisory executive compensation proposal since 2009. Over the past several years shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the
say-on-pay
vote, and in 2016, 89% of the votes cast supported the proposal.
State Street
develops and implements a compensation program for our NEOs and other executive officers with the goals of:
|
|
attracting, retaining and motivating superior executives
|
|
|
rewarding those executives for meeting or exceeding annual and long-term financial and strategic objectives
|
|
|
driving long-term shareholder value and financial stability
|
|
|
achieving the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values
|
For each NEO, the Compensation Committee determines the appropriate level of total compensation for the year. This determination is
based on a subjective evaluation of many factors, including corporate performance, individual performance and market, regulatory and shareholder considerations. Along with the
say-on-pay
advisory proposal, we also engage several of our largest shareholders to receive their specific perspectives on our compensation programs and
governance practices. For 2016, we held discussions with shareholders representing more than 30% of our outstanding common stock. Based on these discussions, we believe our shareholders, in general, support our executive compensation program, and
therefore, we continued many of the elements of our program, such as maintaining a high level of equity and deferral for incentive compensation awards as well as emphasizing pay for performance and alignment with shareholder interests. Our
compensation practices for NEOs, including the complete framework used by the Compensation Committee in evaluating and making 2016 compensation decisions, are described in Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
The advisory proposal is provided in accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and is
non-binding.
The outcome of this advisory proposal does not overrule any decision by, create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of, or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for State Street or the
Board of Directors (or any of its committees). The vote is
non-binding;
however, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote on this advisory proposal when considering future
executive compensation arrangements.
The text of the proposal presented for your approval is as follows:
|
|
|
VOTED:
|
|
That the compensation of State Streets executives, as disclosed pursuant to the SECs compensation disclosure rules, as set
forth in this proxy statement under the heading Executive Compensation, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related material, is approved; provided, that, this resolution shall not be binding
on State Streets Board of Directors or any of its committees and may not be construed as overruling any decision by the Board of Directors or any of its committees.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

ITEM 3 ADVISORY PROPOSAL ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY PROPOSALS ON
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote on an advisory basis to have an advisory proposal on executive
compensation on an annual basis as described below. Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board will be voted on an advisory basis for an ANNUAL frequency of future advisory proposals on executive
compensation.
Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires that all public companies include a
non-binding
advisory vote on executive compensation matters at least once every three years and that at least every six years shareholders be given the opportunity to vote regarding how often the advisory proposal on executive compensation should be held.
Shareholders may choose from the frequency intervals of annual (every year), biennial (every two years) or triennial (every three years), or may abstain on this matter. We have provided our shareholders with an annual opportunity to vote on a
non-binding
executive compensation proposal in each year since 2009, including at this annual meeting, and in 2011 our shareholders voted in support of an annual frequency.
State Streets Board believes that having an advisory proposal on executive compensation every year is appropriate and in the best interests of
shareholders at this time. The annual frequency of this vote at this time is consistent with our approach for, and disclosure of, executive compensation matters and also maximizes a shareholders opportunity to evaluate and assess executive
compensation decisions.
This advisory proposal is
non-binding,
however, the Executive Compensation Committee
and the Board of Directors will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of future advisory proposals on executive compensation.

ITEM 4 APPROVAL OF THE 2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Overview
In the opinion of
our Board of Directors, the future success of State Street depends, in large part, on our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating key employees with experience and ability. On February 16, 2017, our
Board adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the State Street Corporation 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to replace our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the 2006 Equity Incentive
Plan.
The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan would allow for the issuance of up to 8,300,000 shares of common stock. In addition, up to an additional
28,500,000 shares of common stock will be available for issuance under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, which is equal to the sum of (1) the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan that remain
available for grant immediately prior to the annual meeting and (2) the number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan that, following the annual meeting, may expire, terminate or be otherwise
surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by us at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
or the Code).
If the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan is approved by our shareholders, we will no longer grant any new awards under the 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan after the annual meeting (however, awards previously granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will remain outstanding and the shares subject to awards granted under that plan may become available for issuance under the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan under the circumstances described above). As of March 1, 2017, (1) stock appreciation rights covering 594,352 shares of common stock with a weighted average measurement price of $81.71 and a weighted average remaining term
of 0.9 years, (2) unvested deferred stock awards covering 8,662,529 shares of common stock and (3) unvested performance awards covering 1,460,592 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and our other
equity compensation plans. As of March 1, 2017, 16,491,204 shares of common stock were available for future grant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.
Highlights of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan
|
|
|
No Evergreen Provision
|
|
Shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan are not automatically replenished.
|
No repricing of stock options or
stock appreciation rights
|
|
The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan prohibits the direct or indirect repricing of stock options or stock appreciation rights without shareholder approval, including a prohibition on the exchange of underwater stock options
or stock appreciation rights for a cash payment.
|
No discounted stock options or stock
appreciation rights
|
|
All stock options and stock appreciation rights must have an exercise price or measurement price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
|
No Single-trigger vesting upon
change in control
|
|
Awards granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan will not automatically vest solely as a result of a change in control.
|
Material amendments require
shareholder approval
|
|
Shareholder approval is required prior to an amendment of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan that would (1) materially increase the number of shares available, (2) expand the types of available awards, or (3) materially
expand the class of participants eligible to participate.
|
Administered by an independent
committee
|
|
The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Executive Compensation Committee, which is made up entirely of independent directors.
|
Clawback Policy
|
|
All awards granted in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan are subject to any clawback policy that we have adopted or may adopt in the future or any other compensation recovery requirements that
we determine is necessary or appropriate to be applicable to an award.

Item 4
(continued)

|
2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
Deferred equity compensation is a key component of our compensation plan and we believe that approving
8,300,000 shares (plus any unused shares from the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as described above) for issuance under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan is appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders given (1) our historical rate of issuing
equity awards, (2) our current expectations of the number of shares likely to be needed for future grants and (3) the importance of equity as a proportion of total compensation. Our Board will carefully consider all proposed grants under
the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.
In developing the proposed number of shares available for issuance under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan and analyzing
the impact on our shareholders of utilizing equity, we considered our burn rate and overhang.
Burn rate provides a measure of
the potential dilutive impact of our annual equity award program. Set forth below is a table that reflects our burn rate for 2016, 2015 and 2014 as well as the average over those periods.

Gross Burn Rate is defined as the number of shares underlying awards granted in the year (excluding
performance awards which will be counted as they are earned) divided by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

Overhang is a measure of potential dilution and is defined as the sum of (1) the total number of shares underlying all equity awards outstanding and
(2) the total number of shares available for future award grants, divided by: the sum of (a) the total number of shares underlying all equity awards outstanding, (b) the total number of shares available for future award grants and
(c) the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our overhang at March 1, 2017 was 6.6%. If the additional 8,300,000
shares proposed to be authorized for grant under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan are included in the
calculation, our overhang would have been 8.5% at March 1, 2017.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans at March 1, 2017
As indicated above, at March 1, 2017 we had a total of 10,717,473 shares, subject to outstanding awards or related restrictions under the
2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding awards and available for future grant under all State Street equity compensation plans as of March 1, 2017, as well as
the total number of shares of our common stock that were outstanding as of that date. The table does not include the additional shares that are the subject of the proposed 2017 Stock Incentive Plan being presented for shareholder approval at the

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Summary of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan
The following summary of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is
attached as
Appendix A
to this proxy statement. References to our Board in this summary and in this Item 4, generally, shall include the Compensation Committee or any other committee appointed by our Board to administer the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan.
Types of Awards; Shares Available for Issuance
The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and performance awards; we refer to these securities as Awards. Subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends
or similar events, Awards may be made under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan for (i) up to 8,300,000 shares of common stock plus (ii) an additional number of shares of common stock (up to 28,500,000 shares) as is equal to the sum of the
number of shares of common stock remaining available for grant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan immediately prior to the annual meeting and the number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan that
expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by us at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations of the Code).
In addition, if any Award granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan expires or is terminated, surrendered, canceled, forfeited or otherwise results in any common stock not being issued, the unused common stock covered by such Award shall again be
available for the grant of Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations under the Code). Further, shares of common stock delivered to us by a participant to exercise an Award or to
satisfy tax withholding obligations (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares of common stock available for the future grant of Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan,
provided that no more than the number of shares used to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding obligations shall be added back to the plan. Common stock repurchased by us on the open market using proceeds from the exercise of an Award shall not
increase the number of shares of common stock available for future grant of Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.
Certain
sub-limitations
apply to the shares available for issuance under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which options may be granted to any person in any calendar
year and the maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock appreciation rights granted to any person in any calendar year shall each be 2,000,000, and the maximum number of shares of common stock subject to other Awards granted to any
person in any calendar year shall be 2,000,000. In any calendar year, the sum of cash compensation paid to any
non-employee
director and the value of Awards made under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan to such
non-employee
director (calculated based on grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes) shall not exceed $1,500,000, subject to exceptions in extraordinary circumstances as the Executive
Compensation Committee may determine in its discretion.
All shares of common stock covered by stock appreciation rights shall be counted against the
number of shares available for grant under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan and against the applicable
sub-limitations
described above. However, stock appreciation rights that may be settled only in cash shall
not be so counted, and if a stock appreciation right is granted in tandem with an option for the same number of shares of common stock and the grant provides that only one such Award may be exercised (which we refer to as a tandem SAR),
only the shares covered by the option shall be counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the others exercise will not restore shares to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. The shares covered by a tandem SAR will not again become
available for grant under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan upon the expiration or termination of the tandem SAR. In the case of the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan and the
sub-limitations
described above shall be the full number of shares subject to the stock appreciation right multiplied by the percentage of the stock appreciation right actually
exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle the stock appreciation right upon exercise.
In connection with a merger or
consolidation of an entity with us or our acquisition of property or stock of an entity, our Board may grant Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based Awards granted by such entity or an
affiliate thereof on such terms as our Board determines appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitation on Awards contained in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. No such substitute Awards shall count against the overall share limits or
sub-limitations
described above, except as required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code.
Shares issued under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

Descriptions of Awards
Options
. Optionees receive the right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified option price and subject to such
other terms and conditions as are specified in connection with the option grant. Only our employees or employees of our subsidiaries may receive incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code. An option that is not
intended to be an incentive stock option is a nonstatutory stock option. Options may not be granted at an exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the effective date of grant;
provided, however, that if our Board approves the grant of an option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on such future date. Under
present law, incentive stock options may not be granted at an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our
stock or any of our subsidiaries. Subject to the provisions of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, stock options may not be granted for a term in excess of 10 years (and, under present law, five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to
optionees holding greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or any of our subsidiaries). The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan permits participants to pay the exercise price of options using one or more of the following
methods of payment: (1) payment by cash or check, or, except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board, in connection with a cashless exercise through a broker, (2) to the extent
provided in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board, and subject to certain conditions, by surrender to us of shares of common stock owned by the participant valued at their fair market value, (3) to the extent provided in an
applicable nonstatutory stock option agreement or approved by our Board, and subject to certain conditions, by delivery of a notice of net exercise as a result of which we will retain a number of shares of common stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to the option equal to the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the option being exercised divided by the fair market value of common stock on the date of exercise, (4) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for
in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board, by any other lawful means or (5) any combination of the foregoing.
Stock
Appreciation Rights
. A stock appreciation right, or SAR, is an award entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive a number of shares of common stock or cash (or a combination thereof) determined by reference to the appreciation, from and
after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of common stock over the measurement price. The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan provides that the measurement price of a SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of common stock on
the effective date of grant (provided, however, that if our Board approves the grant of a SAR effective as of a future date, the measurement price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value on such future date) and that, subject to the
provisions of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, SARs granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan may not have a term in excess of 10 years.
Limitation on Repricing of Options or SARs; No Reload Options or SARs.
With respect to options and SARs, unless such action is approved by
shareholders or otherwise permitted under the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan in connection with certain changes in capitalization and covered transactions (as defined in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan), we may not (1) amend any
outstanding option or SAR granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan to provide an exercise price or measurement price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise price or measurement price per share of such outstanding option or SAR,
(2) cancel any outstanding option or SAR (whether or not granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (other than certain substitute Awards described above)
covering the same or a different number of shares of common stock and having an exercise price or measurement price per share lower than the then-current exercise price or measurement price per share of the canceled option or SAR, (3) cancel in
exchange for a cash payment any outstanding option or SAR with an exercise price or measurement price per share above the then-current fair market value of common stock, or (4) take any other action under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan that
constitutes a repricing within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. No option or SAR granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan shall contain any provision entitling the participant to the automatic grant of
additional options or SARs in connection with any exercise of the original option or SAR.
Restricted Stock Awards
. We may issue Awards
entitling recipients to acquire shares of common stock subject to our right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the
recipient in the event that conditions specified by our Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period established for such Award. We refer to these Awards as Restricted Stock.
Restricted Stock Units.
We may also grant Awards entitling the recipient to receive shares of common stock (or cash equal to the fair market
value of such shares) to be delivered at the time such Award vests or is settled by us. We refer to these Awards as Restricted Stock Units. Our Board may, in its discretion, provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall be deferred, on a

|
mandatory basis or at the election of the participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. A participant has no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units
unless and until the underlying shares of common stock are issued.
Other Stock-Based Awards
. Under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, our
Board may grant other Awards of shares of our common stock and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based upon common stock or other property, having such terms and conditions as our Board may determine.
We refer to these types of Awards as Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards may be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to
which a participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in shares of common stock or cash, as our Board determines.
Performance Awards
. Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan may be
made subject to achievement of performance goals. We refer to these types of Awards as Performance Awards. With respect to Performance Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, a
committee comprised solely of two or more directors eligible to serve on a committee making qualified performance-based compensation awards under Section 162(m) of the Code (a Section 162(m) Committee) shall specify, at
the time of grant, that such Performance Award will be granted, vest and/or pay out solely upon the achievement of specified objective performance criteria that are based on the relative or absolute attainment of specified levels of one or any
combination of the following, which may be determined pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, or on a
non-GAAP
basis, as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee: earnings or
earnings per share; return on equity; return on assets; return on capital; cost of capital; total stockholder return; revenue; market share; quality/service; organizational development; strategic initiatives (including acquisitions or dispositions);
risk control; expense; operating leverage; operating fee leverage; capital ratios; liquidity ratios; income; comprehensive capital analysis and review (CCAR); and other regulatory-related metric. The preceding performance criteria may reflect
absolute entity or business unit performance or a relative comparison to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of selected performance criteria and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship
to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated. Such performance measures (1) may vary by participant and may be different for different Awards; (2) may be particular to a participant or the department, branch, line of
business, subsidiary or other unit in which the participant works and may cover such period as may be specified by the Section 162(m) Committee; and (3) shall be set by the Section 162(m) Committee within the time period prescribed by, and
shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m).
The section 162(m) Committee may specify, no later than the deadline for
establishing the performance measures for a year, that one or more of the performance measures applicable to an Award or Awards for such year will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, but without
limitation, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, expenses associated with acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, amortization of purchased intangibles associated with acquisitions, impact (dilution and
expenses) of securities issuances (debt or equity) to finance, or in contemplation of, acquisitions or ventures, merger and integration expenses, changes in accounting principles or interpretations, changes in tax law or financial regulatory law,
impairment charges, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, charges for restructuring or rationalization programs (e.g., cost of workforce reductions, facilities or lease abandonments, asset impairments),
one-time
insurance claims payments, extraordinary and/or
non-recurring
items, litigation, regulatory matter or tax rate changes) occurring during the year that affect
the applicable performance measure. The section 162(m) Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the number of shares payable pursuant to such Awards and may not waive the achievement of the applicable performance measures except in the case
of the death or disability of the participant or a change in control of State Street. Performance Awards that are not intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) may be based on these or other
performance measures as determined by our Board.
Transferability of Awards
Except as our Board may otherwise determine or provide in an Award in connection with certain gratuitous transfers, Awards may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an incentive stock option, pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order. During the life of the participant, Awards are exercisable only by the participant.
Eligibility to Receive Awards
Employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of State Street and of our present or future parent or subsidiary corporations and
any other business venture in which State Street has a controlling interest (as determined by our Board) are eligible to
STATE STREET CORPORATION

|
be granted Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. However, incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees, employees of our present or future parent or subsidiary corporations
and employees of any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Code. As of March 1, 2017, approximately 6,570 persons were eligible to receive Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan,
including our executive officers and
non-employee
directors. The granting of Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan is discretionary, and we cannot now determine the number or type of Awards to be granted
in the future to any particular person or group, except that Awards are subject to the limitations described above. On March 1, 2017, the last reported sale price of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $81.65.
Clawback Policy
All Awards granted under the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan are subject to any clawback policy that the Company has adopted or may adopt in the future, or any other compensation recovery requirements that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to be applicable to an Award.
Administration
Our Board administers the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan and is authorized to grant Awards, to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan and to construe and interpret the provisions of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan
and any Award agreements entered into under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. Our Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan or any Award. All actions and decisions by the Board
with respect to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan and any Awards shall be made in our Boards discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan or any Award.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, our Board may delegate authority under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan to one or more committees or
subcommittees of our Board. Our Board has authorized the Executive Compensation Committee to administer certain aspects of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, including the granting of awards to directors and executive officers. The Executive
Compensation Committee, with the input of management, selects the recipients of Awards and determines, in addition to other items, and subject to the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan:
|
|
the number of shares of common stock, cash or other consideration covered by Awards and the terms and conditions of such
Awards, including the dates upon which such Awards become exercisable or otherwise vest;
|
|
|
the exercise or measurement price of Awards, if any;
|
|
|
the effect on Awards of a change in control of State Street; and
|
|
|
the duration of Awards.
|
Our Board or the Executive Compensation Committee may delegate (1) to one or more of its members such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as
it may determine; (2) to one or more of our officers the power and authority to grant or to allocate consistent with the requirements of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws and subject to such limitations under the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan or as the Board or the Executive Compensation Committee may impose, Awards among such persons (other than to any executive officer (as defined by Rule
3b-7
under the Exchange Act) or to any
officer (as defined by Rule
16a-1(f)
under the Exchange Act)) eligible to receive Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan as such delegated member or members of the Board or the Executive Compensation
Committee or officer or officers of State Street determine consistent with such delegation; and (3) to such employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate.
Awards to
non-employee
directors will only be granted and administered by a committee, all the members of which
are independent as defined by Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.
Except as otherwise provided under the 2017
Stock Incentive Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and our Board need not treat participants uniformly. Unless our Board expressly provides otherwise,
immediately upon the cessation of a participants employment, (1) each Award requiring exercise that is then held by the participant or by the participants permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will
terminate, and (2) all other Awards that are then held by the participant or by the participants permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited, except that: (a) unless termination of employment
occurs due to death or the Boards determination in its sole discretion that the cessation of employment has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on the participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award, all options and
SARS held by the participant or the participants permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the participants employment, to the extent then

|
exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of a period of three months and the period ending on the latest on which such option or SAR would have been exercised without regard to this
provision, and will thereupon terminate; (b) all options and SARS held by a participant or the participants permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the participants death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain
exercisable for the lesser of the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the participants death and the period ending on the latest date on which such option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this provision, and
will thereupon terminate; and (c) all options and SARs held by a participant or the participants permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the participants employment will immediately terminate upon such
cessation if the Board in its sole discretion determines that such cessation has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on the participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award.
We are required to make equitable adjustments (in the manner determined by our Board) to the number and class of securities available under the 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan and any outstanding Awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan and the share counting rules and
sub-limits
set forth in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, to reflect stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, combinations of shares, reclassifications of shares, spin-offs and other similar changes in capitalization or events or any dividends or distributions to holders of common stock other than ordinary cash dividends.
We will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, employee or agent to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation
of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan has been or will be delegated against any cost or expense (including attorneys fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with our Boards approval) arising out of any act or
omission to act concerning the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan unless arising out of such persons own fraud or bad faith.
Amendment of
Awards
. Except as otherwise provided under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan with respect to repricing outstanding stock options or SARs, our Board may (1) amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including, substituting therefor
another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an incentive stock option to a nonstatutory stock option or (2) at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award,
regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from such acceleration; provided that the participants consent to any such action will be required unless our Board determines that the action, taking into account any
related action, does not materially and adversely affect the participants rights under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan or the change is otherwise permitted under the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan in connection with a change in
capitalization, covered transaction, change in control or acceleration of vesting or exercisability of an Award.
Covered Transactions; Change in Control
Definitions.
The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan contains provisions addressing the consequences of any covered transaction or change
in control.
A covered transaction is defined under the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan to mean (1) a merger, or similar
transaction or series of related transactions, including a sale or other disposition of stock, in which State Street is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of State Streets then
outstanding common stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert; (2) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all State Streets assets; or (3) a dissolution or liquidation of State
Street.
A change in control, as defined under the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, means (a) subject to specific exceptions
the acquisition by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of 25% or more of either our then-outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of our then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors; (b) subject to specific exceptions, a change in the individuals who, as of the effective date of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, constitute the Board such that they cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the Board; (c) subject to specific exceptions, the consummation by State Street of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of State Street; or (d) the approval by our
shareholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of State Street.
Effect on Awards
. Under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, in the
event of a covered transaction, subject to certain limitations: (1) if the covered transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, our Board may provide for the assumption of some or all outstanding Awards or for the
grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor; (2) if the covered transaction is one in which holders of common stock will receive upon consummation a payment, our Board may
provide for payment, with respect to some or all Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of one share of common stock (as determined by our Board in its reasonable discretion) times
the number of shares of common stock subject to the Award, over (b) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if
STATE STREET CORPORATION

|
|

|
|
2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as
our Board determines; (3) if the covered transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) is one in which there is no assumption, substitution or
cash-out,
each Award requiring
exercise will become fully exercisable, each Award of Restricted Stock will become fully vested and the delivery of shares of Common Stock deliverable under each outstanding award of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards (to the extent
consisting of Restricted Stock Units) and Other Stock-Based Awards will be accelerated and such shares will be delivered, prior to the covered transaction, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as
determined by our Board, following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a shareholder in the covered transaction; or (4) each Award (unless assumed or substituted), other than outstanding
shares of Restricted Stock, will terminate upon consummation of the covered transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in
control: (1) if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of the change in control, the participants employment is terminated for good reason (as defined in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan) by the participant or is
terminated without cause (as defined in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan) by State Street, all options and SARs outstanding as of the date such change in control is consummated and which are not then exercisable shall become exercisable to the full
extent of the original grant, all shares of Restricted Stock which are not otherwise vested shall vest, and Performance Awards shall vest to the extent set forth in the applicable Award agreement; (2) after a change in control, options and SARs
granted as substitution for existing Awards shall remain exercisable following a termination of employment (other than termination by reason of death, disability (as determined by State Street) or retirement (as defined by the Award)) for the lesser
of a period of seven months or the period ending on the latest date on which such option or SAR could otherwise have been exercised; and (3) in connection with or following a change in control, our Board may not impose additional conditions
upon exercise or otherwise amend or restrict any Award, or amend the terms of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan in any manner adverse to the holder thereof, without the written consent of such holder.
Provisions for Foreign Participants
Our Board may from
time to time establish one or more
sub-plans
under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions. Our Board shall establish such
sub-plans
by adopting supplements to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan containing any limitations on our Boards discretion under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan as our Board shall deem necessary or desirable and any
additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan that our Board shall deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by our Board shall be deemed to be part of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, but
each supplement shall apply only to participants within the affected jurisdiction.
Amendment or Termination
Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time provided that (1) to the extent required
by Section 162(m) of the Code, no Award granted to a participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award, unless and until
our shareholders approve such amendment in the manner required by Section 162(m); (2) no amendment that would require shareholder approval under the rules of the national securities exchange on which we then maintain our primary listing
may be made effective unless and until our shareholders approve such amendment; and (3) if the national securities exchange on which we then maintain our primary listing does not have rules regarding when shareholder approval of amendments to
equity compensation plans is required (or if the common stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange), then no amendment to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (a) materially increasing the number of shares authorized under the 2017
Stock Incentive Plan (other than as provided for in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan in connection with substitute Awards, changes in capitalization, covered transactions or change in control), (b) expanding the types of Awards that may be granted
under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, or (c) materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan shall be effective unless and until our shareholders approve such amendment. In addition, if at
any time the approval of our shareholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to incentive stock options, our Board may not effect such modification or
amendment without such approval. Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan adopted in accordance with the procedures described above shall apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all Awards
outstanding under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided that our Board determines that such amendment, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of participants
under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. No Award may be made that is conditioned upon shareholder approval of any amendment to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan unless the
70

Award provides that (i) it will terminate or be forfeited if shareholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within no more than 12 months from the date of grant and (ii) it may
not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of common stock) prior to such shareholder approval.
Effective Date and Term of 2017 Stock
Incentive Plan
The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan shall become effective on the date the plan is approved by our shareholders. No Awards shall be
granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan after the expiration of 10 years from the effective date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following generally
summarizes the United States federal income tax consequences that generally will arise with respect to Awards granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. This summary is based on the federal tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy
statement. In addition, this summary assumes that all Awards are exempt from, or comply with, the rules under Section 409A of the Code regarding nonqualified deferred compensation. Changes to these laws or assumptions could alter the tax
consequences described below.
Incentive Stock Options
. A participant will not have income upon the grant of an incentive stock option.
Also, except as described below, a participant will not have income upon exercise of an incentive stock option if the participant has been employed by us or our corporate parent or 50% or more-owned corporate subsidiary at all times beginning with
the option grant date and ending three months before the date the participant exercises the option. If the participant has not been so employed during that time, then the participant will be taxed as described below under Nonstatutory Stock
Options. The exercise of an incentive stock option may subject the participant to the alternative minimum tax.
A participant will have income
upon the sale of the stock acquired under an incentive stock option, which we refer to as ISO stock, at a profit (if sales proceeds exceed the exercise price). The type of income will depend on when the participant sells the ISO stock. If a
participant sells the ISO stock more than two years after the option was granted and more than one year after the option was exercised, then all of the profit will be long-term capital gain. If a participant sells the ISO stock prior to satisfying
these waiting periods, then the participant will have engaged in a disqualifying disposition and a portion of the profit will be ordinary income and a portion may be capital gain. This capital gain will be long-term if the participant has held the
ISO stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. If a participant sells the ISO stock at a loss (sales proceeds are less than the exercise price), then the loss will be a capital loss. This capital loss will be long-term if the
participant held the ISO stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.
Nonstatutory Stock Options
. A participant will
not have income upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option. A participant will have compensation income upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option equal to the fair market value of the stock on the day the participant exercised the option
less the exercise price. Upon sale of the stock, which we refer to as NSO stock, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the fair market value of the NSO stock on the day the option was
exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant has held the NSO stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.
Stock Appreciation Rights
. A participant will not have income upon the grant of a SAR but generally will recognize compensation income upon
the exercise of a SAR equal to the amount of the cash and the fair market value of any stock received. Upon the sale of the stock, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the
stock on the day the SAR was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.
Restricted Stock
. A participant will not have income upon the grant of Restricted Stock unless an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code is made within 30 days of the date of grant. If a timely Section 83(b) election is made, then a participant will have compensation income equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant less the purchase price, if any.
When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. If the participant does not make a Section 83(b) election,
then when the shares of Restricted Stock vest the participant will have compensation income equal to the fair market value of the stock on the vesting date less the purchase price. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or
loss equal to the sales proceeds less the fair market value of the stock on the vesting date. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.

Restricted Stock Units
. A participant will not have income upon the grant of a Restricted
Stock Unit. A participant is not permitted to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit. When the Restricted Stock Unit vests, the participant will have income on the vesting date in an amount equal to the fair
market value of the stock on the vesting date less the purchase price, if any. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the sales proceeds less the value of the stock on the vesting date. Any capital gain or
loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.
Other Stock-Based
Awards
. The tax consequences associated with any Other Stock-Based Award granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan will vary depending on the specific terms of the Award. Among the relevant factors are whether or not the Award has a
readily ascertainable fair market value, whether or not the Award is subject to forfeiture provisions or restrictions on transfer, the nature of the property to be received by the participant under the Award and the participants holding period
and tax basis for the Award or underlying common stock.
Tax Consequences to State Street
. There will be no tax consequences to us except
that we will be entitled to a deduction when a participant has compensation income. Any such deduction will be subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Consists of 7,814 thousand shares subject to deferred stock awards, zero shares subject to shares subject to stock
options, 995 thousands stock appreciation rights and 1,247 thousand shares subject to performance awards (assuming payout at 100% for all awards, including awards for which performance is uncertain).

Consists of shares subject to deferred stock awards.
|
Individual directors who are not our employees have received stock awards and cash retainers, both of which may be deferred. Directors may elect to
receive shares of our common stock in place of cash. If payment is in the form of common stock, the number of shares is determined by dividing the approved cash amount by the closing price on the date of the annual shareholders meeting or date
of grant, if different. All deferred shares, whether stock awards or common stock received in place of cash retainers, are increased to reflect dividends paid on the common stock and, for certain directors, may include share amounts in respect of an
accrual under a terminated retirement plan. Directors may elect to defer 50% or 100% of cash or stock awards until a date that they specify, usually after termination of service on the Board. The deferral may also be paid in either a lump sum or in
installments over a two- to ten-year period. Stock awards totaling 230,915 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2016; awards made through June 30, 2003, totaling 23,606 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016, have not
been approved by shareholders. There are no other equity compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance that have been adopted without shareholder approval. Awards of stock made or retainer shares paid to individual
directors after June 30, 2003 have been made under our 1997 or 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, both of which were approved by shareholders.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
On behalf of State Streets Board of Directors, the Committee oversees the operation of a system of
internal controls designed to ensure the integrity of State Streets financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies and the qualifications, performance and independence of State Streets
independent registered public accounting firm. It is managements responsibility to prepare State Streets consolidated financial statements and establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting. The role of the independent
registered public accountant is to independently audit the consolidated financial statements and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).
Consistent with this oversight responsibility, the Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2016 and their assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. Ernst & Young LLP, State Streets independent registered public accounting firm, issued their
unqualified report on State Streets consolidated financial statements and the design and operating effectiveness of State Streets internal controls over financial reporting.
The Committee has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by AS 1301,
Communications with Audit Committees
, issued by the PCAOB. The Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526,
Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence
and has conducted a discussion with Ernst & Young LLP relative to its independence. The Committee has considered whether Ernst & Young LLPs
provision of
non-audit
services is compatible with its independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions,
the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that State Streets audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, be included in State Streets annual report for the fiscal year then ended.

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

ITEM 5 RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders approve the ratification of the selection of the independent
registered public accounting firm described below. The Examining and Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as State Streets independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2017.
Ernst & Young LLP has acted as our independent auditor since 1972.
The Examining and Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the
appointment, compensation, retention, evaluation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including the sole authority for the establishment of
pre-approval
policies and
procedures for all audit and
non-audit
engagements. The Examining and Audit Committee also oversees the integrity of our financial statements and reports and the qualifications, performance and independence of
State Streets independent registered public accounting firm.
The Examining and Audit Committee annually assesses the appointment of the
independent registered public accounting firm and considers among other factors:
|
|
If the retention of the registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of State Street and its shareholders
|
|
|
The results of an annual survey prepared by management on the performance of the independent registered public accounting
firm
|
|
|
The technical expertise, experience and knowledge level of the independent registered public accounting firm
|
|
|
The recent performance of the independent registered public accounting firm and lead partner, including quality of
communication, competence and responsiveness
|
|
|
The independence of the independent registered public accounting firm
|
|
|
Known legal risks and significant proceedings of the independent registered accounting firm
|
|
|
The fees incurred by State Street for the services rendered by the independent registered accounting firm
|
In accordance with SEC rules and Ernst & Young LLP policies, the lead audit partner must be rotated at least every five
years. The Examining and Audit Committee and the Committee Chair are involved in the selection of the lead engagement partner pursuant to the rotation requirement. The Examining and Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the
continued retention of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of State Street and its shareholders. See the discussion in this proxy statement under the heading Examining and
Audit Committee Matters.
We have been advised by Ernst & Young LLP that it is a registered public accounting firm with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and complies with the auditing, quality control and independence standards and rules of that Board and the SEC.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions, and they will have the
opportunity to make a statement if they desire. While shareholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of
Ernst & Young LLP to the shareholders for ratification to learn the opinion of shareholders on the selection. Should the selection of Ernst & Young LLP not be ratified by the shareholders, the Examining and Audit Committee will
reconsider the matter. Even in the event the selection of Ernst & Young LLP is ratified, the Examining and Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time
during the year if in its view such a change is in the best interests of State Street and its shareholders.

How do I vote?
If your shares are registered in your name, you may vote in person at the annual meeting or by proxy without attending the meeting. Registered
shareholders may also vote by telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions included with your proxy card or the notice we mailed to you on April 6, 2017. In addition, if you received a printed proxy card, you may mark, sign, date and

proxy card or vote by telephone or on the Internet but do not provide voting instructions on some or all of the proposals, your shares will be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on all uninstructed proposals in accordance with the
recommendations of the Board of Directors given below.
If your shares are held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee, that
person, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you directions on how to vote those shares, which may include the ability to instruct the
voting of your shares by telephone or on the Internet.
If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote in person at

Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies by State Street?

mail and electronic means. State Street has retained Georgeson Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $19,000, plus expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by employees of State Street and its subsidiaries personally, or by mail,
telephone, fax or

these materials to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies.
What is householding?
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be householding our proxy statements, annual reports and related materials.
Householding means that only one copy of these documents may have been sent to multiple shareholders in one household. If you would like to receive your own set of State Streets proxy statements, annual reports and related

2017 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
May I change my vote?
If you are a registered shareholder, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Secretary in writing,
by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by submitting an electronic proxy as of a later date or by attending the meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in street name, you must contact your bank, broker or other
nominee for instructions on changing your vote.
What constitutes a quorum?
A majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter constitutes a quorum for action on that matter. A share once represented for any purpose at the
annual meeting will be deemed present for determination of a quorum for the entire meeting and for any adjournment of the meeting (unless (1) a shareholder attends solely to object to lack of notice, defective notice or the conduct of the
meeting on other grounds, and the shareholder does not vote the shares or otherwise consent that they are to be deemed present or (2) in the case of an adjournment, a new record date is set for that adjourned meeting).
What vote is required to approve each item?
Since it is an uncontested election of directors at the annual meeting, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast
for the nominees election exceed the votes cast against the nominees election (Item 1). If the votes cast against the nominees election exceed the votes cast for the nominees
election, the nominee will not be elected to the Board of Directors. However, under Massachusetts law, if a nominee that is an incumbent director is not elected to the Board of Directors, that incumbent director will hold over in office
as a director until his or her successor is elected or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in an uncontested election of directors, any incumbent director who does not receive more votes
cast for his or her election than votes cast against his or her election will submit to the Board a letter of resignation for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. After consideration, that
committee would make a recommendation to the Board on action to be taken regarding the resignation. No such tendered resignation will be deemed effective unless and until it is accepted by action of the Board. The actions concerning the advisory
proposal on executive compensation (Item 2), the approval of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (Item 4) and the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 5) will be approved if the votes cast
for the action exceed the votes cast against the action. The proposal on the frequency of future advisory proposals on executive compensation (Item 3) asks shareholders to indicate their preference for the frequency of future
advisory proposals on executive compensation. Shareholders may choose from the frequency intervals of annual (every year), biennial (every two years) or triennial (every three years), or may abstain on this matter. Although Item 3 is advisory and
non-binding
in nature, our Board of Directors will consider the frequency interval that receives the greatest level of support from our shareholders to be the frequency preferred by shareholders. Items 2 and 3
are
non-binding
proposals. In addition to the foregoing state law requirements, with respect to approval of Item 4, the rules of the NYSE require that votes cast in favor must constitute at least a majority of
the votes cast (with abstentions counting as votes cast for this purpose only).
How is the vote counted?
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the annual meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by State Street to act as tellers for the meeting.
Abstentions and broker
non-votes
are not counted as votes with respect to any of the items
to be voted on at the annual meeting, except for abstentions as noted above with respect to Item 4.
Stock exchange rules permit a broker to vote
shares held in a brokerage account on routine proposals if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Stock exchange and SEC rules, however, prohibit brokers from voting uninstructed shares in the election of directors and
executive compensation matters. Accordingly, of the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, the only routine proposal is the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 5).
What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned?
Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.
What are my rights as a participant in the Salary Savings Program?
As part of its employee benefits program, State Street maintains a 401(k) plan called the Salary Savings Program, or SSP. If you participate in the SSP
and have invested part or all of your account in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan fund, you are considered a named fiduciary and may direct the voting of the State Street Corporation common stock allocated to your account as of the record date.
You may give direction on the Internet, by telephone or by mail. If you do not provide timely direction as to how to vote your allocated share, your
allocated share will be voted on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants. If a matter arises at the meeting, or such other time as affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the

trustee will follow the direction of the Committee designated by the Plan Sponsor, or its designee. Voting of your allocated share will occur as described above unless the trustee or plan
administrator (or its designee), as applicable, determines that doing so would result in a breach of its fiduciary duty.
You must direct your vote in
advance of the annual meeting so that the trustee, the registered owner of all of the shares held in the SSP, can vote in a timely manner. Regardless of what method you use to direct the trustee, the trustee must receive your direction no later than
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 15, 2017 for your direction to be counted. Your direction will be held in confidence by the trustee. You may not provide this direction at the annual meeting. You may change your direction to the trustee by timely
submitting a new direction. The last direction the trustee receives by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 15, 2017, will be the only one counted. If your direction by mail is received on the same day as the one received electronically, the
electronic direction will be followed.
The trustee is providing the annual report, the notice of annual meeting and the proxy statement
electronically to SSP participants with State Street stock in the SSP who are active employees and have a State Street-provided
e-mail
account and internet access. Instead of receiving these materials in paper
form mailed to your home, you will have
on-line
access to these materials over the internet, thus expediting the delivery of materials and reducing printing and mailing costs. An
e-mail
will be sent to all such participants with detailed instructions to access materials and give your direction of the trustee. You may request that paper copies be sent to you, thereby permitting you to
send in your direction by mail if you prefer that method. All other participants will receive their materials in the mail.
Other
Matters
The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the annual meeting. Under our
by-laws,
the deadline for shareholders to notify us of any proposals or director nominations to be presented for action at the 2017 annual meeting has passed. Should any other business properly come before the
meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy will, as stated therein, have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment. See the discussion in this proxy statement under the
heading General InformationQuestions and Answers About Voting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires State Streets directors, executive officers and any beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common
stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. State Street is not aware of any 10% beneficial owners. An amended Form 3 was filed for Karen Keenan to account for shares omitted from the original Form 3 and subsequent
Forms 4, which otherwise were filed in the time frames required. Based on State Streets review of the reports it has received and written representations from its directors and executive officers, State Street believes that all of its
directors and officers otherwise complied with all Section 16(a) reporting requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions in 2016.

Appendix A
STATE STREET CORPORATION
2017 STOCK INCENTIVE
PLAN
The purpose of this 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the
Plan
) of State Street Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation (the
Company
), is to advance the interests of the Companys shareholders by enhancing the Companys ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to
the Company and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to better align the interests of such persons with those of the Companys shareholders. Except where the context
otherwise requires, the term
Company
shall include any of the Companys present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and any regulations thereunder (the
Code
) and any other business venture (including, without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the
Board
).
All of the Companys employees, officers and directors, as well as consultants and advisors to the Company (as the terms consultants
and advisors are defined and interpreted for purposes of Form
S-8
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act
), or any successor form) are eligible to be granted
Awards (as defined below) under the Plan. Each person who is granted an Award under the Plan is deemed a
Participant
. The Plan provides for the following types of awards, each of which is referred to as an
Award
: Options (as defined in Section 5), SARs (as defined in Section 6), Restricted Stock (as defined in Section 7), RSUs (as defined in Section 7) and Other Stock-Based Awards (as defined in
Section 8). Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.
3.

Administration and Delegation
|
|
(a)
|
Administration by Board of Directors
. The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board shall have authority
to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board may construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award agreements entered into
under the Plan. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award. All actions and decisions by the Board with respect to the Plan and any Awards shall be made in the Boards
discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award.
|
|
(b)
|
Appointment of Committees
. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its
powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a
Committee
). All references in the Plan to the
Board
shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board to the extent
that the Boards powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee. During such time as the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company (the
Common Stock
) is registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act
), the Board shall appoint one such Committee of not less than two members, each member of which shall be an independent director under applicable stock exchange rules, an
outside director within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder (
Section 162(m)
) and a
non-employee
director as defined in Rule
16b-3
under the Exchange Act.
|
|
(c)
|
Delegation of Granting and Other Authority
. The Board or a Committee may delegate to (1) one or more of its
members such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it may determine; (2) to one or more officers of the Company the power and authority to grant or to allocate, consistent with the requirements of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts
General Laws and subject to such limitations under the Plan or as the Board or the
|
A-1
|
Committee may impose, Awards among such persons (other than to any executive officer of the Company (as defined by Rule
3b-7
under the Exchange
Act) or to any officer of the Company (as defined by Rule
16a-1(f)
under the Exchange Act)) eligible to receive Awards under the Plan as such delegated member or members of the Board or the
Committee or officer or officers of the Company determine consistent with such delegation; and (3) to such employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate. In the event of any delegation described in
the preceding sentence, references in the Plan to the
Board
shall mean the delegate to the extent that the Boards powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such person.
|
|
(d)
|
Awards to
Non-Employee
Directors
. Awards to
non-employee
directors will be granted and administered by a Committee, all of the members of which are independent directors as defined by Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

|
Stock Available for Awards
|
|
(a)
|
Number of Shares; Share Counting
.
|
|
(1)
|
Authorized Number of Shares
. Awards may be made under the Plan (any or all of which Awards may be in the form of
Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 5(b)) for such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the sum of:
|
|
(A)
|
8,300,000 shares of Common Stock; plus
|
|
(B)
|
such additional number of shares of Common Stock (up to 28,500,000 shares) as is equal to the sum of (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Companys 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the
Existing Plan
) that remain available for grant under the Existing Plan immediately prior to the
Companys 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the Existing Plan which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by
the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right (subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitations of the Code).
|
Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.
|
(2)
|
Share Counting
. For purposes of counting the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan
under this Section 4(a) and under the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2):
|
|
(A)
|
all shares of Common Stock covered by SARs shall be counted against the number of shares available for the grant of
Awards under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2);
provided, however
, that (i) SARs that may be settled only in cash shall not be so counted and (ii) if the Company grants an SAR in tandem with an Option
for the same number of shares of Common Stock and provides that only one such Award may be exercised (a
Tandem SAR
), only the shares covered by the Option, and not the shares covered by the Tandem SAR, shall be so counted,
and the expiration of one in connection with the others exercise will not restore shares to the Plan;
|
|
(B)
|
if any Award (i) expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is
forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right), or (ii) results in any Common
Stock not being issued (including as result of an SAR that was settleable either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash), the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards. Further, shares of
Common Stock delivered (either by actual delivery, attestation or net exercise) to the Company by a Participant to exercise an Award or to satisfy any tax withholding obligations in accordance with Section 11(d) (including shares retained from the
Award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock available for the future grant of Awards,
provided
that no more than the number of shares used to satisfy the statutory minimum tax withholding
obligation shall be added
|
A-2
|
back to the Plan pursuant to this section 4(a)(2)(B). However, (1) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the foregoing shall be subject to any limitations under the Code, (2) in the
case of the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(b)(2) shall be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the
SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle such SAR upon exercise and (3) the shares covered by a Tandem SAR shall not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of such Tandem
SAR; and
|
|
(C)
|
shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award
shall not increase the number of shares available for future grant of Awards.
|
|
(b)
|
Sublimits
. Subject to adjustment under Section 10, the following sublimits on the number of shares subject to
Awards shall apply:
|
|
(1)
|
Section 162(m)
Per-Participant
Limits
. The maximum number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted to any person in any calendar year and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to SARs granted to any person in any calendar year shall each be 2,000,000, and the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock subject to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year shall be 2,000,000. The
per-Participant
limits described in this Section 4(b)(1) shall be construed and applied
consistently with Section 162(m).
|
|
(2)
|
Limit Applicable to
Non-Employee
Directors
. In any calendar year, the sum
of cash compensation paid to any
non-employee
director for service as a director (
Director Cash Compensation
) and the value of Awards under the Plan made to such
non-employee
director (calculated based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes) (
Director Equity Compensation
) shall not exceed $1,500,000. The Board
may make exceptions to this limit for individual
non-employee
directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Committee may determine in its discretion, provided that the
non-employee
director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation. For purposes of this Section 4(b)(2), Director Cash Compensation and Director Equity
Compensation in any calendar year shall include any amounts or grants that would have been paid or made, as applicable, to a particular
non-employee
director absent such directors election to defer such
compensation pursuant to any arrangement or plan of the Company permitting deferral of such compensation.
|
|
(c)
|
Substitute Awards
. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition
by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the
Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a)(1) or any sublimits contained in the Plan,
except as may be required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code.
|
|
(a)
|
General
. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an
Option
) and
determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state
securities laws, as the Board considers necessary or advisable.
|
|
(b)
|
Incentive Stock Options
. An Option that the Board intends to be an incentive stock option as defined
in Section 422 of the Code (an
Incentive Stock Option
) shall only be granted to employees of State Street Corporation, any of State Street Corporations present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as
defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code, and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code. An Option that is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be designated a
Nonstatutory Stock Option
. The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other
|
A-3
|
person, if an Option (or any part thereof) that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option or if the Company converts an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory
Stock Option.
|
|
(c)
|
Exercise Price
. The Board shall establish the exercise price of each Option or the formula by which such exercise
price will be determined. The exercise price shall be specified in the applicable Option agreement. The exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the date the Option is
granted;
provided
that if the Board approves the grant of an Option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Grant Date Fair Market Value on such future date.
Grant Date Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock for purposes of the Plan will be determined as follows:
|
|
(1)
|
if the Common Stock trades on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price (for the primary trading session) on
the date of grant; or
|
|
(2)
|
if the Common Stock does not trade on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as reported by
an authorized OTCBB market data vendor as listed on the OTCBB website (otcbb.com) on the date of grant; or
|
|
(3)
|
if the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Board will determine the Grant Date Fair Market Value for purposes of the
Plan using any measure of value it determines to be appropriate (including, as it considers appropriate, relying on appraisals) in a manner consistent with the valuation principles under Code Section 409A, except as the Board may expressly determine
otherwise.
|
For any date that is not a trading day, the Grant Date Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for
such date will be determined by using the closing sale price or average of the bid and asked prices, as appropriate, for the immediately preceding trading day and with the timing in the formulas above adjusted accordingly. The Board can substitute a
particular time of day or other measure of closing sale price or bid and asked prices if appropriate because of exchange or market procedures or can, in its sole discretion, use weighted averages either on a daily basis or
such longer period as complies with Code Section 409A.
The Board has sole discretion to determine the Grant Date Fair Market Value
for purposes of the Plan, and all Awards are conditioned on the participants agreement that the Boards determination is conclusive and binding even though others might make a different determination.
|
(d)
|
Duration of Options
. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, each Option shall be exercisable at such times and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable Option agreement;
provided, however
, that no Option will be granted with a term in excess of 10 years.
|
|
(e)
|
Exercise of Options
. Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form (which
may be electronic) approved by the Company, together with payment in full (in the manner specified in Section 5(f)) of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised. Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will
be delivered by the Company as soon as practicable following exercise.
|
|
(f)
|

for as follows:
|

|
except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by (i) delivery of
an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of
irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding;
|
|
(3)
|
to the extent provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery (either by actual
delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), provided
|
A-4
|
(i) such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (ii) such Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for such minimum period of
time, if any, as may be established by the Board and (iii) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements;
|
|
(4)
|
to the extent provided for in the applicable Nonstatutory Stock Option agreement or approved by the Board, by delivery of
a notice of net exercise to the Company, as a result of which the Participant would receive (i) the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised, less (ii) such number of shares as is equal to
(A) the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (B) the fair market value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board) on the date of exercise;
|
|
(5)
|
to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board,

Limitation on Repricing
. Unless such action is approved by the Companys shareholders, the Company may not

any outstanding option (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(c)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and
having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the canceled option, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding Option with an exercise price per share above the then-current fair market
value of the Common Stock (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a repricing within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock
Exchange.

Other Stock-Based Awards
). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other

|
(b)
|
Committee
. Grants of Performance Awards to any Covered Employee (as defined below) intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) (
Performance-Based Compensation
) shall be made only by a Committee (or a subcommittee of a Committee) comprised solely of two or more directors eligible to
serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the Board or to a Committee shall be treated as referring to
such Committee (or subcommittee).
Covered Employee
shall mean any person who is, or whom the Committee, in its discretion, determines may be, a covered employee under Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.
|
|
(c)
|
Performance Measures
. For any Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee
shall specify that the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures established by the Committee, which shall be based on the relative or absolute attainment of specified
levels of one or any combination of the following, which may be determined pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (
GAAP
) or on a
non-GAAP
basis, as determined by the
Committee (the
Performance Measures
):
|
|
|
|
i) earnings or earnings per share
ii) return on equity
iii) return on assets
iv) return on capital
v) cost of capital
vi) total stockholder return
vii) revenue
viii) market share
ix) quality/service
x) organizational development
xi) strategic initiatives (including acquisitions or dispositions)
|
|
xii) risk control
xiii) expense
xiv) operating leverage
xv) operating fee leverage
xvi) capital ratios
xvii) liquidity ratios
xviii) income
xix) comprehensive capital analysis and review (CCAR)
xx) other regulatory-related metric
|
Such goals may reflect absolute entity or business unit performance or a relative comparison to the
performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected performance criteria and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated. The
Performance Measures: (x) may vary by Participant and may be different for different Awards; (y) may be particular to a Participant or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the Participant works and
may cover such period as may be specified by the Committee; and (z) shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m). Awards that are not intended to qualify
as Performance-Based Compensation may be based on these or such other performance measures as the Board may determine.
|
(d)
|
Adjustments to Performance Measures
. The Committee may provide, no later than the deadline for establishing the
Performance Measures for a year, that one or more of the Performance Measures applicable to an Award or Awards for such year will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, but without limitation, acquisitions,
dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, expenses associated with acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or restructurings, amortization of purchased intangibles associated with acquisitions, impact (dilution and expenses) of securities
issuances (debt or equity) to finance, or in contemplation of, acquisitions or ventures, merger and integration expenses, changes in accounting principles or interpretations, changes in tax law or financial regulatory law, impairment charges,
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, charges for restructuring or rationalization programs (e.g., cost of workforce reductions, facilities or lease abandonments, asset impairments),
one-time
insurance claims payments, extraordinary and/or
non-recurring
items, litigation, regulatory matter or tax rate changes) occurring during the year that affect the applicable Performance Measure.
|
A-7
|
(e)
|
Adjustments to Performance-Based Compensation.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, with respect to any
Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the number of shares payable pursuant to such Award, and the Committee may not waive the achievement of the
applicable performance measures except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant or a change in control of the Company.
|
|
(f)
|
Other
. The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Performance Awards as it may deem
necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for Performance-Based Compensation. With respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Plan and such Award will be
construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent with qualifying such Award for such exception. With respect to such Performance Awards, the Committee will preestablish, in writing, one or more specific performance measures no
later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates (or at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Performance Award as Performance-Based Compensation). Prior to grant, vesting or payment of
such Performance Award, as the case may be, the Committee will certify whether the applicable performance measures have been attained and such determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance Award that is intended to qualify as
Performance-Based Compensation may be granted after the first meeting of the shareholders of the Company held in 2022 until the performance measures set forth in Section 9(c) (as originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted
to and reapproved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m), unless such grant is made contingent upon such approval.

Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock and Certain Other Events

|
(a)
|
Changes in Capitalization
. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, reclassification of shares,
spin-off
or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend,
(i) the number and class of securities available under the Plan, (ii) the share counting rules and sublimits set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(b), (iii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share of each outstanding
Option, (iv) the share and
per-share
provisions and the measurement price of each outstanding SAR, (v) the number of shares subject to and the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding
award of Restricted Stock and (vi) the share and
per-share-related
provisions and the purchase price, if any, of each outstanding RSU and each Other Stock-Based Award, shall be equitably adjusted by the
Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) in the manner determined by the Board. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the
exercise price of and the number of shares subject to an outstanding Option are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the
record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that
such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.

|
|
(A)
|
If the Participant is party to an employment or similar agreement with the Company that contains a definition of
Good Reason, that definition shall apply for purposes of the Plan.

|
Otherwise, Good Reason shall mean any significant diminution in the Participants duties, authority, or
responsibilities from and after such Change in Control, as the case may be, or any material reduction in the base compensation payable to the Participant from and after such Change in Control, as the case may be, or the relocation of the place of
business at which the Participant is principally located to a location that is greater than 50 miles from its location immediately prior to such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence
shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason unless (I) the Participant gives the Company the notice of termination no more than 90 days after the initial existence of such event or circumstance, (II) such event or circumstance has not
been fully corrected and the Participant has not been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom within 30 days of the Companys receipt of such notice and (III) the Participants termination of Employment
occurs within six months following the Companys receipt of such notice.
|
For purposes of this definition of
Good Reason, reference to the Company shall include the acquiror or survivor (or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor) in the applicable Change in Control.
|
(v)
|
Employment
shall mean a Participants employment or other service relationship with the
Company and its subsidiaries. Employment will be deemed to continue, unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, so long as the Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a capacity described in Section 1 to the
Company or its subsidiaries. If a Participants employment or other service relationship is with a subsidiary of the Company and that entity ceases to be a subsidiary, the Participants Employment will be deemed to have terminated when the
entity ceases to be subsidiary of the Company unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining subsidiaries.
|
|
(i)
|
Covered Transactions
. Except as otherwise provided in an Award, the following provisions shall apply in the event
of a Covered Transaction:
|
|
(A)
|
Assumption or Substitution
. If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity,
the Board may provide for the assumption of some or all outstanding Awards or for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor.
|
|
(B)
|
Cash-Out
of Awards
. If the Covered Transaction is one in which holders of
Common Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash,
non-cash
or a combination of the foregoing),
|
A-10
|
the Board may provide for payment (a
cash-out
), with respect to some or all Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to
the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, over (B) the aggregate exercise or
purchase price, if any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Common Stock) and
other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Board determines.
|
|
(C)
|
Acceleration of Certain Awards
. If the Covered Transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving
entity) is one in which there is no assumption, substitution or
cash-out,
each Award requiring exercise will become fully exercisable, each Award of Restricted Stock will become fully vested and the delivery
of shares of Common Stock deliverable under each outstanding award of RSUs, Performance Awards (to the extent consisting of RSUs) and Other Stock-Based Awards will be accelerated and such shares will be delivered, prior to the Covered Transaction,
in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Board, following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a shareholder in the Covered
Transaction.
|
|
(D)
|
Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction
. Each Award (unless assumed or substituted pursuant
to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) above), other than outstanding shares of Restricted Stock (which shall be treated in the same manner as other shares of Common Stock, subject to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(E) below), will terminate upon consummation of the Covered
Transaction.
|
|
(E)
|
Additional Limitations
. Any share of Common Stock delivered pursuant to Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) or Section
10(b)(2)(i)(C) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Board, contain such restrictions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject. In the case
of Restricted Stock, the Board may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Common Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the
Board deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.
|
|
(ii)
|
Change in Control
. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in
Control:
|
|
(A)
|
Acceleration of Options and SARs; Effect on Other Awards
. If, on or prior to the first anniversary of the
consummation of the Change in Control, the Participants Employment with the Company is terminated for Good Reason by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company, all Options and SARs outstanding as of the date such Change in
Control is consummated and which are not then exercisable shall become exercisable to the full extent of the original grant, all shares of Restricted Stock which are not otherwise vested shall vest, and Performance Awards granted hereunder shall
vest to the extent set forth in the applicable Award agreement.
|
|
(B)
|
Restriction on Application of Plan Provisions Applicable in the Event of Termination of Employment
. After a Change
of Control, Options and SARs granted under Section 10(b)(2)(i)(A) as substitution for existing Awards shall remain exercisable following a termination of Employment (other than termination by reason of death, disability (as determined by the
Company) or retirement (as defined in the Award)) for the lesser of (I) a period of seven (7) months, or (II) the period ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could otherwise have been exercised.
|
|
(C)
|
Restriction on Amendment
. In connection with or following a Change in Control, the Board may not impose additional
conditions upon exercise or otherwise amend or restrict any Award, or amend the terms of the Plan in any manner adverse to the holder thereof, without the written consent of such holder.
|
A-11
11.
|
General Provisions Applicable to Awards
|
|
(a)
|
Transferability of Awards
. Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by a
Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and, during the life of the
Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant;
provided, however
, that, except with respect to Awards subject to Section 409A, the Board may permit or provide in an Award for the gratuitous transfer of the Award by the Participant
to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or other entity established for the benefit of the Participant and/or an immediate family member thereof if the Company would be eligible to use a Form
S-8
under the Securities Act for the registration of the sale of the Common Stock subject to such Award to such proposed transferee;
provided further
, that the Company shall not be required to recognize
any such permitted transfer until such time as such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transferee shall be
bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 11(a) shall
be deemed to restrict a transfer to the Company.
|
|
(b)
|
Documentation
. Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Board shall
determine. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.
|
|
(c)
|
Termination of Status
. Unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, immediately upon the cessation of a
Participants Employment (as defined in Section 10(b)(1)(v)), (i) each Award requiring exercise that is then held by the Participant or by the Participants permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate,
and (ii) all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the Participants permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited, except that:
|
|
(1)
|
subject to (2) and (3) below, all Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participants permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participants Employment with the Company, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three months and (ii) the period
ending on the latest date on which such Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 11(c), and will thereupon terminate;
|
|
(2)
|
all Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participants permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to
the Participants death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the Participants death and (ii) the period ending on the latest date
on which such Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 11(c), and will thereupon terminate; and
|
|
(3)
|
all Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participants permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to
the cessation of the Participants Employment with the Company will immediately terminate upon such cessation if the Board in its sole discretion determines that such cessation of Employment has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on
the Participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award.
|
|
(d)
|
Withholding
. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment
tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award. The Company may elect to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or
wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations.
Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise.
If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board, a Participant may satisfy the tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award
creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company);
provided, however
, except as otherwise provided by the Board,
|
A-12
|
that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Companys minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Common Stock having a fair market value
(determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company) that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without material financial accounting implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory
minimum withholding tax, the Company may retain such number of shares of Common Stock (up to the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by (or in a manner approved by) the
Company)) as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to satisfy the tax liability associated with any Award. Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other
similar requirements.
|
|
(e)
|
Amendment of Award
. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(g) and 6(e), the Board may amend, modify or
terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. The The Board may at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from such acceleration. The Participants consent to such action shall be
required unless (i) the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participants rights under the Plan or (ii) the change is permitted under Section 10
or the foregoing sentence.
|
|
(f)
|
Conditions on Delivery of Stock
. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously issued or delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Companys
counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and regulations and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and
(iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
|
|
(g)
|
Dividend Equivalents
. The Board may provide for the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash
distributions (Dividend Equivalents) with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, provided that such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as the Award with respect to which
they may be paid. Any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements shall be established and administered consistent either with exemption from, or compliance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent applicable.
|
|
(a)
|
No Right To Employment or Other Status
. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award by virtue
of the adoption of the Plan, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued Employment. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a
Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award.
|
|
(b)
|
No Rights As Shareholder; Clawback
. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or
Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be issued with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares. In accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall
agree to be bound by any clawback policy the Company has adopted or may adopt in the future, or any other compensation recovery requirements that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to be applicable to an Award.
|
|
(c)
|
Effective Date and Term of Plan
. The Plan shall become effective on the date the Plan is approved by the
Companys shareholders (the
Effective Date
). No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the expiration of 10 years from the Effective Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.
|
A-13
|
(d)
|
Amendment of Plan
. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time provided
that (i) to the extent required by Section 162(m), no Award granted to a Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award,
unless and until the Companys shareholders approve such amendment in the manner required by Section 162(m); (ii) no amendment that would require shareholder approval under the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Company then
maintains its primary listing may be made effective unless and until the Companys shareholders approve such amendment; and (iii) if the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing does not have
rules regarding when shareholder approval of amendments to equity compensation plans is required (or if the Common Stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange), then no amendment to the Plan (A) materially increasing the number
of shares authorized under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section 4(c) or 10), (B) expanding the types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan, or (C) materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan
shall be effective unless and until the Companys shareholders approve such amendment. In addition, if at any time the approval of the Companys shareholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of
the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval. Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the Plan adopted in accordance
with this Section 12(d) shall apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all Awards outstanding under the Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided the Board determines that such amendment, taking into account any related action, does not
materially and adversely affect the rights of Participants under the Plan. No Award shall be made that is conditioned upon shareholder approval of any amendment to the Plan unless the Award provides that (i) it will terminate or be forfeited if
shareholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within no more than 12 months from the date of grant and (2) it may not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of Common Stock) prior to such shareholder approval.
|
|
(e)
|
Authorization of
Sub-Plans
(including for Grants to
non-U.S.
Employees)
. The Board may from time to time establish one or more
sub-plans
under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable securities, tax or other laws of
various jurisdictions. The Board shall establish such

Appendix B
Excerpt from State Streets Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board will have a majority of directors who meet the criteria for independence required by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) corporate governance
standards. The Board has adopted the following guidelines to assist it in determining director independence in accordance with the NYSE standards. To be considered independent, the Board must determine, after review and recommendation by the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board has established the following categorical guidelines to assist it in determining independence:
|
a.
|
A director will not be independent if he or she does not satisfy any of the bright-line tests set forth in
Section 303A.02 (b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
|
|
b.
|
The following commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would
impair a directors independence: (i) if the State Street director or a member of such directors immediate family (as defined in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) is a director or owner of less than a 10% ownership
interest of another company (including a
tax-exempt
organization) that does business with the Company; provided such State Street director is not involved in negotiating the transaction; (ii) if the State
Street director or a member of such directors immediate family is a current employee, consultant or executive officer of another company (including a
tax-exempt
organization) that does business with the
Company; provided that, (x) where the State Street director is an employee, consultant or executive officer of the other company, neither the director nor any of his or her immediate family members receives any special benefits as a result of
the transaction and (y) the annual payments to, or payments from, the Company from, or to, the other company, for property or services in any completed fiscal year in the last three fiscal years are equal to or less than the greater of
$1 million, or two percent of the consolidated gross annual revenues of the other company during the last completed fiscal year of the other company; and (iii) if the State Street director or member of such directors immediate family
is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer of a
tax-exempt
organization that receives discretionary charitable contributions from the Company; provided such State Street director and his or her
Immediate Family Members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction; and further provided that, where the director or immediate family member is an executive officer of the
tax-exempt
organization, the amount of discretionary charitable contributions in any completed fiscal year in the last three fiscal years are not more than the greater of $1 million, or two percent of that organizations consolidated gross revenues
in the last completed fiscal year of that organization (in applying this test, State Streets automatic matching of employee charitable contributions to a charitable organization will not be included in the amount of State Streets
discretionary contributions).
|
|
c.
|
The following commercial relationships will not be considered to be a material relationship that would impair a
directors independence: lending relationships, deposit relationships or other banking relationships (such as depository, transfer, registrar, indenture trustee, trusts and estates, private banking, investment management, custodial, securities
brokerage, cash management and similar services) between State Street and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a company with which the director or such directors immediate family member is affiliated by reason of being a director, employee,
consultant, executive officer, general partner or an equity holder thereof, on the other, provided that: (i) such relationships are in the ordinary course of the Companys business and are on substantially the same terms as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
non-affiliated
persons; (ii) with respect to a loan by the Company to such company or its subsidiaries, such loan has been made in compliance with
applicable law, including Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such loan did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable
features, and no event of default has occurred under the loan; and (iii) payments to the Company for property or services (including fees and interest on loans but not including principal repayments) from such company does not exceed the limit
provided in (b)(ii) above.
|
If a relationship is described by the categorical guidelines contained in both paragraphs b. and c.
above, it will not be considered to be a material relationship that would impair a directors independence if it satisfies all of the applicable requirements of either paragraph b. or c. For relationships not covered by the categorical
guidelines (either because they involve a different type of relationship or a different dollar amount), the determination of whether the relationship is material or not, and therefore whether the director would be independent or not, shall be made
by the directors who satisfy the independence guidelines set forth above. The Company will explain in the next proxy statement the basis for any Board determination that a relationship was immaterial despite the fact that it did not meet the
categorical guidelines of immateriality set forth above.
