Today's Bank of New York Mellon was formed in July 2007 through a merger between The Bank of New York Company, Inc. and Mellon Financial Corporation of Pittsburgh. The combination of two enterprises rich in history, vision and performance has created a global financial services growth company unmatched in its commitment to asset management and servicing.

Together, the two institutions have created the world's largest securities servicing provider and a top asset management firm globally — a financial services growth company without peer.

Currently, The Bank of New York Mellon has over 42,000 employees, more than one quarter of which are located outside the United States. The Company serves more than 100 markets through a global presence in 34 countries establishing it as a truly global provider to a truly global clientele.

The Bank of New York Mellon is positioned to deliver world-class service to clients, provide superior performance to shareholders and create more and better opportunities for the people who keep the company strong — all while sustaining a commitment to the communities in which it operates.

Two great companies have been reborn, true to the traditions on which they were founded.
