Recent Developments: On August 22, 2014, the Brazilian postal workers’ pension plan (Instituto de Seguridade Social dos Correios e Telégrafos, known as “Postalis”) filed a lawsuit against a BNY Mellon Brazilian subsidiary in civil court in Rio de Janeiro. Postalis, a Brazilian asset servicing client of BNY Mellon, seeks to recover investment losses it incurred in an exclusive investment fund called Brasil Sovereign II Fundo de Investimento de Dívida Externa, for which BNY Mellon has served as administrator since its inception. Although the investments at issue were directed by the independent third-party asset manager that managed the fund at the time, the lawsuit alleges that BNY Mellon did not fulfill its contractual obligations to monitor the manager. The complaint alleges losses of approximately $88 million.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences: Payments of interest on the Notes are potentially subject to the FATCA withholding discussed on page S-32 of the accompanying prospectus supplement. Payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Notes may also be subject to FATCA withholding unless the disposition occurs before January 1, 2017. Holders should read the discussion of FATCA withholding under “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Withholdable Payments to Foreign Financial Institutions and Other Foreign Entities” on page S-32 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and consult their own tax advisors regarding the relevant U.S. law and other official guidance on FATCA withholding.

Defeasance: The defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of the Senior Indenture described under “Description of Senior Debt Securities and Senior Subordinated Debt Securities – Debt Securities Issued by the Company under the Senior Indenture or the Senior Subordinated Indenture – Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” in the Prospectus will apply to the Notes.

The Agents expect to deliver the Notes in book-entry form only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company against payment in New York, New York on or about the fifth business day following the date of this Pricing Supplement. Trades of securities in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, referred to as T+3, unless the parties to a trade agree otherwise. Accordingly, by virtue of the fact that the initial delivery of the Notes will not be made on a T+3 basis, investors who wish to trade the Notes before a final settlement will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
