Dear Shareholder:
 
We are writing to you in order to supplement the proxy materials that were mailed to you regarding the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 28, 2007, at which shareholders are being asked to vote on a proposal to adopt the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 22, 2007, by and among KeyCorp (“Key”), an Ohio corporation, KYCA LLC (the “Merger Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Key, and U.S.B. Holding Co., Inc. (“USB”), pursuant to which USB will merge with and into the Merger Sub.
 
The following information should have been included on page 34 of the proxy statement dated October 23, 2007, under “Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger,” but was inadvertently omitted from the printed version sent to you:
 
Director Retirement Plan. Non-employee directors of USB participate in a Director Retirement Plan. A non-employee director who has served for a period of fifteen years is eligible to receive benefits under this plan. Under the preexisting terms of the Director Retirement Plan, vesting is accelerated in the event of a change in control, to the extent that an eligible director was not already vested. If the proposed transaction with Key were consummated, there would be no increased payments to any directors under the Director Retirement Plan as a result of accelerated vesting of benefits, other than to Directors Edward T. Lutz and Kevin J. Plunkett, who would each receive an estimated lump sum payment of $155,339.76 under the Director Retirement Plan as a result of the vesting due to the change in control. It is anticipated that each other non-employee director will receive an equivalent payment in settlement of his already-vested benefit under the Director Retirement Plan.”
 
A majority of USB’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby.
 
We look forward to seeing you at the Special Meeting. If you need assistance, or have any questions about how to vote your shares, please call our proxy solicitor, Georgeson Inc. at (800) 457-5303.
 
     
 
Sincerely,
   
    
  Raymond J. Crotty
  President and Chief Operating Officer
