M&T holds a 20% minority interest in Bayview Lending Group LLC (“BLG”), a privately-held commercial mortgage company. That investment had no remaining carrying value at December 31, 2021 as a result of cumulative losses recognized and cash distributions received in prior years. Cash distributions now received from BLG are recognized as income by M&T and included in other revenues from operations. That income totaled $30 million in 2021, $53 million in 2020 and $37 million in 2019.

Bayview Financial Holdings, L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Bayview Financial”), a privately-held specialty financial company, is BLG’s majority investor. In addition to their common investment in BLG, the Company and Bayview Financial conduct other business activities with each other. The Company has obtained loan servicing rights for mortgage loans from BLG and Bayview Financial

having outstanding principal balances of $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenues from those servicing rights were $9 million, $10 million and $12 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company sub-services residential mortgage loans for Bayview Financial having outstanding principal balances of $74.7 billion and $68.1 billion at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenues earned for sub-servicing loans for Bayview Financial were $153 million, $129 million and $125 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company held $62 million and $77 million of mortgage-backed securities in its held-to-maturity portfolio at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that were securitized by Bayview Financial.  At December 31, 2021, the Company held $210 million of Bayview Financial’s $1.4 billion syndicated loan facility. In early 2021 the Company purchased $965 million of delinquent FHA guaranteed mortgage loans, including past due accrued interest, from Bayview Financial for $1.0 billion.
