Item 8.01 Other.

SunTrust Banks, Inc. (“SunTrust” or “the Company”) announced today that its fourth quarter 2014 results will include a $145 million legal provision expense, or $0.17 per share, related to previously disclosed legacy mortgage matters, to increase legal reserves and complete the final resolution of one matter.  Accordingly, based on current information, the Company expects its estimate of reasonably possible losses related to legal matters, in excess of reserves, to decrease by approximately this amount.
