Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously announced, John C. Stern, U.S. Bancorp’s Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Gunjan Kedia, U.S. Bancorp’s Vice Chair, Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking, made a presentation at the RBC Capital Markets Global Financial Institutions Conference in New York at 8:40 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. As announced in a press release issued by U.S. Bancorp earlier today, due to a vendor error during the presentation, the live audio webcast of the presentation was temporarily not available in full.

During the presentation, Mr. Stern generally confirmed that, as of today, there was no change to previously disclosed guidance for the first quarter or the full year 2024. Specifically, Mr. Stern confirmed full year net interest income guidance expectations of $16.6 billion, to up slightly, fee revenue being up mid-single digits for the full year, and core expenses being flat on a year-over-year basis. He also confirmed first quarter net interest income expectations of between $4.0 billion and $4.1 billion. For more information, investors should listen to the full replay of the audio webcast of the presentation, which can be accessed by clicking on “Webcasts & Presentations” from the Investor Relations section of U.S. Bancorp’s website at ir.usbank.com and will remain posted for one year.

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

U.S. Bancorp acquired MUFG Union Bank N.A. (“MUB”) in December 2022. Prior to the acquisition, MUB entered into a consent order in September 2021 with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) relating to deficiencies in MUB’s technology and operational risk management (the “MUB Consent Order”). The OCC’s conditional approval to merge MUB with and into U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) required U.S. Bank to succeed to the terms and obligations of the MUB Consent Order and comply with the other conditions described therein. On March 5, 2024, U.S. Bank was notified by the OCC that the MUB Consent Order has been terminated.
