Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between SunTrust Banks, Inc. ("SunTrust") and BB&T Corporation ("BB&T"), dated February 7, 2019 and amended as of June 14, 2019 (the "Merger Agreement"), SunTrust was merged with and into BB&T, effective December 6, 2019 (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of SunTrust common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.295 shares of BB&T common stock. The closing price of BB&T common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the effective date of the Merger was $54.24. Following and in connection with the Merger, BB&T changed its name to Truist Financial Corporation ("Truist").

Following and in connection with the Merger, BB&T changed its name to Truist.
