We actively engage with our shareholders on compensation and governance issues and their perspectives inform the HRC’s compensation design decisions • We engage our largest shareholders annually to receive their specific perspectives on our compensation program and governance practices • In 2019, we requested engagement with shareholders representing more than half of our outstanding common stock • Shareholder input informed key changes to our executive compensation program, including: − For 2019, we enhanced the clarity and transparency of the relationship between individual pay outcomes and company performance − For 2018, we added pre-tax margin to our performance-based equity program as an equally-weighted metric with ROE, further aligning compensation with our business strategy − Over the last several years, we steadily increased the ROE target in our performance-based equity vehicle from 9% to 13% • We maintained elements that shareholders broadly supported, including: − High levels of deferral and performance-based equity − A flexible structure allowing judicious use of discretion in final pay decisions Based on our historical “say-on-pay” votes and annual shareholder outreach, shareholders have supported our executive compensation program Information Classification: Confidential Page 3 of 9

Mr. O'Hanley sharpened State Street's focus on strategic priorities in 2019 contemporaneously with his appointment as CEO • At the end of 2018, State Street faced significant market weakness when U.S. and international markets fell 6% and greater than 15%, respectively, and also faced greater than anticipated servicing fee pressure1 • Mr. O'Hanley took over as CEO and quickly initiated strategic priorities to address these headwinds. He successfully executed on these strategic priorities and achieved clear results Executed on strategic priorities Results and progress made in 2019 1 Enhanced client service quality and deepened relationships by implementing new client initiatives, Reignite servicing fee growth including a senior executive client coverage model and a new client onboarding process that enabled us to scale rapidly 2 Innovate to grow diversified Launched new products and balance sheet fortifying initiatives, including a dozen deposit revenue streams programs to better serve clients and drive revenue growth 3 Deploy the leading Created end-to-end platform solutions for clients -- making it faster, easier and more cost-effective front-to-back office platform for clients to administer their investment strategies Generate annual expense Increased productivity, simplified client experience through infrastructure and resource savings optimization and achieved expense savings Foster a high performing Reorganized the leadership of our multi-regional international business to further our growth organization objectives, and expanded P&L accountability to a larger group of executives This successful execution and progress was reflected in our share price performance: FY 2019 +25%, 2H19 +41% Total shareholder return increased from -10% in 1H19 to +43% in 2H19, an improvement of >50% points (1) Equity market indices change based on a spot basis comparing 12/31/2018 to 12/31/2017 Information Classification: Confidential Page 4 of 9

Our incentive compensation program benefits shareholders by providing a direct link between executive pay and performance • The HRC sets a single incentive target for each named executive officer (NEO); actual awards vary based on individual and corporate results − Separate individual and corporate components drive clear accountability for individual and corporate results − The corporate component, applied equally to all NEOs, provides a transparent link to corporate results and promotes shared accountability − The structure results in a wide range of possible pay outcomes, allowing both equity and cash actual awards to vary from target, closely linking amounts awarded to current year performance • The program incorporates significant equity and performance-based components, and deferrals above the peer group average, to align incentives with the results experienced by shareholders • The HRC reviews performance holistically and awards incentive pay, as appropriate − The HRC’s holistic review emphasizes strategic objectives that may not be easily quantifiable, but that are critical to our long-term success and allows them to consider key leadership behaviors, including diversity and inclusion, employee engagement and talent development − By design, the program does not impose purely formulaic outcomes. A formulaic incentive design can drive inappropriate risk taking, yield results based on factors that do not reflect management’s true contributions and encourage decision-making that does not consider the constantly-changing economic environment Information Classification: Confidential Page 5 of 9

Mr. O’Hanley’s 2019 total compensation was appropriate based on his leadership experience, individual and company performance and market practices • Mr. O’Hanley’s target compensation reflects his years of leadership experience and was set below the median of our peer companies • Based upon corporate performance, the HRC awarded Mr. O’Hanley total compensation that was below the 25th percentile relative to our peer companies • State Street’s incentive compensation structure provides strong alignment with shareholders, with 90% deferred and 75% in equity for the CEO (deferral levels exceed peer practices1) CEO Total Compensation ($ in millions) CEO Incentive Compensation Mix $14.00 $11.80 $9.90 $8.25 $3.30 $2.75 $0.80 $0.80 2019 Target 2019 Actual Base Salary Cash-based Incentive Compensation Equity-based Incentive Compensation (1) Our 2019 deferral levels are higher than 14 of 15 of our peer companies Information Classification: Confidential Page 6 of 9

The HRC’s incentive compensation decisions are based on performance and reflect the shareholder experience • CEO target incentive compensation has remained essentially flat over the past five years1 • CEO actual incentive compensation awarded for four of the last five years was below target 2019 Performance Year 2018 Performance Year 2017 Performance Year 2016 Performance Year 2015 Performance Year Ron O’Hanley Jay Hooley Jay Hooley Jay Hooley Jay Hooley 1-Year Total Shareholder 1-Year Total Shareholder 1-Year Total Shareholder 1-Year Total Shareholder 1-Year Total Shareholder Return Return Return Return Return +29.3% -34.0% +27.8% +19.8% -13.8% -17% -33% +14% -4% -31% $14.8 $13.2 $13.0 $13.0 $13.0 $12.5 $13.0 $11.0 $8.7 $9.0 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 Target Awarded Target Awarded Target Awarded Target Awarded Target Awarded Cash – includes immediate and deferred cash Deferred Stock Awards (DSAs) Performance-based RSUs (PRSUs) Note: $ in millions (1) CEO target total compensation has remained flat over the past five years (2) Reflects incentive compensation targets for the performance year as approved by the HRC (3) Reflects actual incentive compensation awarded based on year-end performance outcomes.

The program design drives alignment in realizable pay and shareholder outcomes • Realizable pay1 is today’s value of prior awards granted, as shown below for 2015 to 2018 • Realizable pay and shareholder interests are aligned, as 75% of Mr. O’Hanley’s incentive compensation is awarded in deferred equity (two thirds of which is performance-based) • The current program will produce aligned realizable pay outcomes for Mr. O’Hanley due to the continued deferral and performance-based structure 2018 Performance Year 2017 Performance Year 2016 Performance Year 2015 Performance Year Jay Hooley Jay Hooley Jay Hooley Jay Hooley -41% -18% -12% -10% $13.0 $13.0 $13.0 $13.0 $11.5 $11.7 $10.6 $7.7 2 2 3 Target Realizable Target Realizable Target Realizable Target Realizable3 Cash – includes immediate and deferred cash Deferred Stock Awards (DSAs) Performance-based RSUs (PRSUs) Note: $ in millions (1) Realizable value reflects the value of outstanding DSAs and PRSUs based on the 4/30/2020 closing stock price of $63.04 based on performance through 2019 (and assumes all shares are retained), plus the value of cash-based incentives awarded (2) PRSU shares reflect performance tracking through 12/31/2019. Current estimated value of realizable PRSUs based on performance of relevant criteria only for completed fiscal years within the three-year performance period. This performance has not been certified and is therefore subject to adjustment based on the terms of the relevant awards.
