FDIC Special Assessment Pursuant to Systemic Risk Determination

In May 2023, the FDIC proposed a rule to implement a special assessment, in connection with the systemic risk determination announced in March 2023, to recover the cost associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Under the proposal, the FDIC would collect from PNC, along with other BHCs and insured depository institutions, special assessments at an annual rate of 12.5 basis points of PNC’s uninsured deposits reported as of December 31, 2022 (adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion), over eight quarterly assessment periods, beginning after the first quarter 2024. We expect the FDIC will enact a special deposit insurance assessment in the second half of 2023 that will significantly increase our FDIC deposit insurance costs. Based on the current proposal, PNC estimates our total cost to be approximately $468 million pre-tax, or $370 million after-tax, which would be incurred in the quarter the FDIC finalizes the rule. The total cost and timing is subject to change pending the assessment’s finalization.

Proposed Expanded Risk-Based Capital Rules

On July 27, 2023, the Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC proposed for public comment an interagency rule to implement the final components of the Basel III framework that would significantly revise the capital requirements for large banking organizations, including PNC and PNC Bank. The proposed rule will apply an expanded risk-based approach which leverages the Basel rules, including the calculation of risk-weighted assets, in addition to the current U.S. standardized approach. In addition, this proposal would align the regulatory capital elements and required deductions for Category III banking organizations such as PNC and PNC Bank with those currently applicable to Category I and II banking organizations. PNC and PNC Bank would be required to recognize most elements of AOCI in regulatory capital and deduct from CET1 capital, among other items, mortgage servicing assets and deferred tax assets that individually exceed 10 percent of CET1 capital or in the aggregate with other threshold items that exceed 15 percent of CET1 capital. PNC and PNC Bank would be required to calculate their risk-based capital ratios under the existing

standardized approach and the expanded risk-based approach and would be subject to the lower of the two resulting ratios for their risk-based capital minimums and buffer requirements, including the SCB. The proposed effective date is July 1, 2025, with certain provisions—including the recognition of AOCI elements in regulatory capital and the increase in risk-weighted assets due to the expanded risk-based approach—having a three-year phase-in period.
