BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) First Quarter 2012

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T,” the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T’s financial position at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and BB&T’s changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T’s geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). VIE’s are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently

8

finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE’s to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T’s relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T’s significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders’ equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company’s valuation processes. The adoption of this guidance, which occurred effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on BB&T’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

9

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. All changes in OCI must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. BB&T adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and has elected to present two separate but consecutive financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting the presentation of certain items on the Balance Sheet. The new guidance requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but may result in certain additional disclosures.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, securities with carrying values of approximately $14.5 billion and $15.5 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, other borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Investments in marketable debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae had total amortized cost and fair value of $11.3 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2012. Investments in securities issued by Freddie Mac had total amortized cost and fair value of $9.4 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, non-agency mortgage-backed securities consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities.

The gross realized gains and losses are reflected in the following table:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at March 31, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been included in maturity groupings based on the contractual maturity.

BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss for other-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities.

Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

^l The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;

^l BB&T’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis;

^l The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

13

^l Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific conditions, such as conditions in an industry or in a geographic area;

^l Whether a debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency;

^l Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;

^l The seniority of the security;

^l Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments on debt securities have not been made; and

^l Any other relevant available information.

If an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary, the credit component of the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent that BB&T does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that BB&T will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

BB&T evaluates credit impairment related to non-agency mortgage-backed securities through the use of cash flow modeling. These models give consideration to long-term macroeconomic factors applied to current security default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates and security-level performance.

During 2012, BB&T realized principal losses on certain other-than-temporarily impaired securities. These realized losses were a factor in evaluating the level of OTTI necessary to address future projected losses.

At March 31, 2012, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. The vast majority of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipal securities. At March 31, 2012, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, were investment grade with the exception of one municipal bond with an amortized cost of $3 million and seven non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an adjusted amortized cost of $346 million. All of these non-investment grade securities were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase. Based on its evaluation at March 31, 2012, BB&T determined that certain of the non-investment grade non-agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses evident and recognized OTTI related to these securities. At March 31, 2012, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $41 million.

The following table presents non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are not covered by a loss sharing arrangement and the credit loss component of OTTI recognized to date:

March 31, 2012	Amortized Cost		Cumulative Credit Loss Recognized			Adjusted Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss
	(Dollars in millions)
Security:
RMBS 1	$	129	$	(34	)	$	95	$	80	$	(15	)
RMBS 2		100		(17	)		83		73		(10	)

BB&T’s evaluation of the other debt securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, as of the date of the evaluation, BB&T did not intend to sell, and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell, these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. In making this determination, BB&T considers its expected liquidity and capital needs, including its asset/liability management needs, forecasts, strategies and other relevant information.

(1) Commercial real estate - residential ADC represents residential acquisition, development and construction loans.

Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC subject to one of the loss sharing agreements. Other acquired loans represent consumer loans acquired from the FDIC that are not subject to one of the loss sharing agreements.

The following table reflects the carrying amount of all purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans and the related allowance:

	March 31, 2012									December 31, 2011
	Purchased Impaired Loans			Purchased Nonimpaired Loans			Total			Purchased Impaired Loans			Purchased Nonimpaired Loans			Total

Changes in the carrying amount and accretable yield for purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2012												Year Ended December 31, 2011
	Purchased Impaired						Purchased Nonimpaired						Purchased Impaired						Purchased Nonimpaired
	Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans			Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans			Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans			Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans

The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.6 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, none of the purchased loans were classified as nonperforming assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows due to increased credit losses for certain acquired loan pools.

The following table provides a summary of BB&T’s nonperforming assets and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing:

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio segment using internal risk ratings. These risk ratings are based on established regulatory guidance. Loans with a Pass rating represent those not considered as a problem credit. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management’s close attention. Substandard loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Substandard loans are placed in nonaccrual status when BB&T believes it is no longer probable it will collect all contractual cash flows.

20

BB&T assigns an internal risk rating at loan origination and reviews the relationship again on an annual basis or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill their obligations.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its retail portfolio segment based primarily on delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonaccrual.

The following tables illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with loans and leases held for investment. Covered and other acquired loans are excluded from this analysis because their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

The following tables represent aging analyses of BB&T’s past due loans and leases held for investment. Covered loans have been excluded from this aging analysis because they are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, and their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

(1) Includes modifications made to existing restructurings, as well as new modifications that are considered restructurings. Balances represent the recorded investment as of the end of the period in which the modification was made.

(2) Includes restructurings made with a below market interest rate that also includes a modification of loan structure.

Charge-offs recorded at the modification date were $4 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Modifications made to existing restructurings in the commercial portfolio segment approximated 11% and 29% of total commercial restructurings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was immaterial.

The following table summarizes the pre-default balance for modifications that experienced a payment default that had been classified as restructurings during the previous 12 months. BB&T defines payment default as movement of the restructuring to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

If a restructuring subsequently defaults, BB&T evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying value of the loan.

(2) Includes amounts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale and excludes amounts related to government guaranteed loans and covered mortgage loans. Refer to Loans and Leases Note for additional disclosures related to past due government guaranteed loans.

(3) Net charge-offs for March 31, 2012 reflect three months.

26

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T’s total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $94.6 billion and $91.6 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $70.3 billion and $67.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio with unpaid principal balances of $7.6 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, and recognized pre-tax gains of $127 million and $35 million, respectively, including the impact of interest rate lock commitments. These gains are recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees.

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was 0.33% and 0.35%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced for others. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 4.89% and 5.17% at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $60 million and $58 million during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $502 million and $522 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T has recorded $6 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures. Payments made to date have been immaterial.

BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T. BB&T has recorded $39 million and $29 million of reserves related to potential losses resulting from repurchases of loans sold at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T’s residential mortgage servicing rights:

	Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Carrying value, January 1,	$	563		$	830
Additions		84			86
Increase (decrease) in fair value:
Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		92			40
Other changes (1)		(43	)		(28	)
Carrying value, March 31,	$	696		$	928

(1) Represents the realization of expected net servicing cash flows, expected borrower payments and the passage of time.

The increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights due to changes in valuation inputs during the first three months of 2012, was primarily a result of updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions.

27

Refer to Note 14 for additional disclosures related to the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights. The sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions is included in the accompanying table:

	Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights March 31, 2012
	(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights	$	696
Composition of residential loans serviced for others:
Fixed-rate mortgage loans		99	%
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans		1
Total		100	%
Weighted average life		4.5	yrs
Prepayment speed		16.5	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(39	)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(73	)
Weighted average discount rate		9.8	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(25	)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(48	)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Commercial Mortgage Banking Activities

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, Grandbridge originated $1.3 billion and $930 million, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, the majority of which were arranged for third party investors. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Grandbridge’s portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $25.8 billion and $25.4 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.8 billion and $4.5 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Grandbridge’s maximum exposure to loss for these loans was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. BB&T has recorded $16 million and $15 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(3) These floating-rate securities are based on LIBOR, but the majority of the cash flows have been swapped to a fixed rate. The effective rate paid on these securities including the effect of the swapped portion was 3.26% at March 31, 2012.

(4) Certain of these advances have been swapped to floating rates from fixed rates and from fixed rates to floating rates. At March 31, 2012, the weighted average rate paid on these advances including the effect of the swapped portion was 3.61%, and the weighted average maturity was 7.3 years.

(5) Securities that qualify under the risk-based capital guidelines as Tier 1 capital, subject to certain limitations. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional information.

In March 2011, BB&T made the decision to retire all of its junior subordinated debt to unconsolidated trusts through the exercise of certain early redemption provisions. BB&T determined that it was appropriate to amortize the remaining debt issuance costs and related discounts or premiums, including fair value hedge adjustments, over the period from March 2011 to the current expected redemption date for each of the impacted debt securities.

NOTE 9. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The authorized common stock of BB&T consists of two billion shares with a $5 par value. There were 698 million and 697 million common shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The authorized preferred stock of BB&T consists of five million shares. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

BB&T issued $575 million of Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock on May 1, 2012. The preferred stock has a dividend of 5.85%.

Equity-Based Plans

At March 31, 2012, BB&T has options, restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”), the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (“Directors’ Plan”), and a plan assumed from an acquired entity. BB&T’s shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of the plan assumed from an acquired entity. As of March 31, 2012, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has shares available for future grants. The 2004 Plan allows for accelerated vesting of awards for holders who retire and have met all retirement eligibility requirements and in connection with certain other events. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further disclosures related to equity-based awards issued by BB&T.

BB&T measures the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		1.5	%		1.7	%
Dividend yield		4.4			3.5
Volatility factor		33.0			37.2
Expected life		7.0	yrs		7.4	yrs
Fair value of options per share	$	6.07		$	7.45

BB&T determines the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model as follows: the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; the dividend yield is based on the historical dividend yield of BB&T’s stock, adjusted to reflect the expected dividend yield over the expected life of the option; the volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of BB&T’s stock, adjusted to reflect the ways in which current information indicates that the future is reasonably expected to differ from the past; and the weighted-average expected life is based on the historical behavior of employees related to exercises, forfeitures and cancellations.

BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends that are foregone during the vesting period.

Total	$	(991	)	$	(375	)	$	(616	)	$	(1,146	)	$	(433	)	$	(713	)

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrealized net losses on securities available for sale, excluding covered securities, included $41 million and $57 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses related to other-than-temporarily impaired non-agency mortgage-backed securities where a portion of the loss was recognized in net income.

NOTE 11. Income Taxes

BB&T’s provision for income taxes was $189 million and $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 29.8% and 18.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax earnings relative to permanent tax differences in 2012 compared to 2011. The current quarter also included additional tax expense related to affordable housing partnership investments.

In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance for foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T’s treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, as a procedural matter and in order to limit its exposure to incremental penalties and interest associated with this matter, BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The Court has scheduled the trial to take place in March 2013. BB&T recorded a receivable in other assets for the amount of this payment, less the reserve considered necessary in accordance with applicable income tax accounting guidance. Based on an assessment of the applicable tax law and the relevant facts and circumstances related to this matter, management has concluded that the amount of this reserve is adequate, although litigation is still ongoing. Due to potential developments in BB&T’s litigation or in similar cases, there could be a material change in the reserve amount within the next twelve months.

NOTE 12. Benefit Plans

BB&T provides various benefit plans to substantially all employees, including employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in existing BB&T plans after consummation of the business combinations. The plans of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans after consummation of the mergers, and, under these circumstances, credit is usually given to these employees for years of service at the acquired institution for vesting and eligibility purposes.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&T’s pension plans:

	Qualified Plan						Nonqualified Plans
	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011			2012		2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Service cost	$	29		$	26		$	2	$	2
Interest cost		25			23			3		2
Estimated return on plan assets		(49	)		(49	)		—		—
Amortization and other		17			7			1		1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	22		$	7		$	6	$	5

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding standard accounts and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Management is not required to, and currently has no plans to, make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2012; however, such a contribution may be made later in 2012, if deemed appropriate.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees and derivatives. BB&T also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities related to certain sold loans.

Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to businesses and consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow BB&T to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers’ creditworthiness.

Letters of credit and financial guarantees written are unconditional commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond financing and similar transactions, the majority of which are to tax exempt entities. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $5.9 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $37 million and $27 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or interest rate. For additional disclosures related to BB&T’s derivatives refer to Note 15.

In the ordinary course of business, BB&T indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities arising from pending litigation. BB&T also issues standard representation and warranties in underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, brokerage activities and other similar arrangements. Counterparties in many of these indemnification arrangements provide similar indemnifications to BB&T. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these guarantees would materially change the financial position or results of operations of BB&T.

Merger and acquisition agreements of businesses other than financial institutions occasionally include additional incentives to the acquired entities to offset the loss of future cash flows previously received through ownership positions. Typically, these incentives are based on the acquired entity’s contribution to BB&T’s earnings compared to agreed-upon amounts. When offered, these incentives are typically issued for terms of three to five

33

years. As certain provisions of these agreements do not specify dollar limitations, it is not possible to quantify the maximum exposure resulting from these agreements. However, based on recent payouts and current projections, any payments made in relation to these agreements are not expected to be material to BB&T’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to certain assets acquired. Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to certain loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”), certain investment securities and other assets (collectively, “covered assets”), begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. For additional information about the terms of the loss sharing agreements refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

BB&T invests in certain affordable housing and historic building rehabilitation projects throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities, and receives tax credits related to these investments. BB&T typically acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Branch Bank typically provides financing during the construction and development of the properties; however, permanent financing is generally obtained from independent third parties upon completion of a project. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $1.2 billion related to these projects, which are included as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $383 million and $394 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $180 million and $178 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $63 million and $76 million had been funded at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures related to these exposures.

BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $281 million and $261 million related to these ventures, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had future funding commitments of $119 million and $129 million, respectively. BB&T’s risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the business of BB&T’s banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.

The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company’s daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment, however, no class has been certified. The court initially denied motions by the Company to dismiss these cases and compel them to be submitted to individual arbitration. The Company then filed appeals in all three matters. There have been numerous subsequent procedural developments, including an

34

appeal to the United States Supreme Court in one matter which resulted in a decision that benefited the Company. Nevertheless, at present the issues raised by these motions and/or appeals remain undecided. If the motions or appeals are ultimately granted, they would preclude class action treatment. Even if those appeals are denied, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. Because of these appeals, and because these cases are in preliminary proceedings and no damages have been specified, no specific loss or range of loss can currently be determined.

On at least a quarterly basis, BB&T assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, BB&T records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on at least a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, BB&T has not accrued legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, BB&T’s management believes that its established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from BB&T’s legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to BB&T’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

BB&T carries various assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting standards. In addition, BB&T has elected to account for prime residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans originated as loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards (the “Fair Value Option”). Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. These standards also established a three level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities. Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data.

35

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which BB&T has elected the Fair Value Option are summarized below:

The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs used by BB&T in determining the Level 2 and Level 3 fair values of each significant class of assets and liabilities.

BB&T generally utilizes a third-party pricing service in determining the fair value of its securities portfolio. Fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. As described by security type below, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. In the event that market observable data was not available, which would generally occur due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security would be subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.

Specific valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of each significant class of assets and liabilities follows:

Trading securities: Trading securities are composed of all types of debt and equity securities, but the majority consists of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.

GSE securities and Mortgage-backed securities issued by GSE: These are debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. GSE pass-through securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated

37

based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

States and political subdivisions: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves.

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities: Pricing matrices for these securities are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

Other securities: These securities consist primarily of equities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for identical and similar assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.

Covered securities: Covered securities are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements and consist of re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The covered state and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for these asset classes. The re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which are categorized as Level 3, were valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs. Sensitivity to changes in the fair value of covered securities is significantly offset by changes in BB&T’s indemnification asset from the FDIC. The terms of the loss sharing agreement associated with these re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities provide that Branch Bank will be reimbursed by the FDIC for 95% of any and all losses.

Loans held for sale: BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors. These loans are carried at fair value based on BB&T’s election of the Fair Value Option. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale.

Residential mortgage servicing rights: BB&T estimates the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

Derivative assets and liabilities: BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments and are categorized as Level 3, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

Venture capital and similar investments: BB&T has venture capital and similar investments that are carried at fair value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

38

Short-term borrowed funds: Short-term borrowed funds represent debt securities sold short. These are entered into through BB&T’s brokerage subsidiary Scott & Stringfellow, LLC. These trades are executed as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

The tables below present reconciliations for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

BB&T’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. During the first three months of 2012, BB&T did not transfer any securities between levels in the fair value hierarchy. During the first three months of 2011, transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were the result of increased observable market activity for these securities. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities during the three months ended 2011.

The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustments increasing the value $92 million and decreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes an adjustment increasing the value $40 million and decreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $28 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the derivative instruments produced losses of $53 million and $39 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded. Refer to Note 6 for a sensitivity analysis of the fair values of these servicing rights to an immediate 10% and 20% adverse change in key economic assumptions.

BB&T has investments in venture capital funds and other similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investment’s net asset value. The majority of these investments are in Small Business Investment Company qualified funds. The significant investment strategies for these ventures are primarily equity and subordinated debt in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and have varying dates for which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by distribution

40

through 2021. As of March 31, 2012, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. There were no investments probable of sale for less than net asset value at March 31, 2012. BB&T’s investments are spread over numerous ventures, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 4x to 10x at March 31, 2012.

The following table details the fair value and unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale that were elected to be carried at fair value.

	March 31, 2012						December 31, 2011
	Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Fair Value Less Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Fair Value Less Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance

Loans held for sale reported at fair value:
Total (1)	$	2,525	$	2,492	$	33	$	3,736	$	3,652	$	84

(1) The change in fair value is reflected in mortgage banking income. Excluding government guaranteed loans, there were no nonaccrual loans or loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

BB&T may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that were still held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $680 million and $925 million, respectively. The March 31, 2012 amount consists of $302 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $378 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. The December 31, 2011 amount consists of $389 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $536 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recorded $30 million and $103 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $68 million and $86 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. The fair values of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate are generally based on appraised value of collateral. Appraisals incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties and cost of construction. In addition, the periodic valuations may include additional liquidity discounts based upon the expected retention period. The valuations are impacted by the market price of the class of real estate and the expected retention period. A shorter retention period would result in an additional liquidity discount.

Additionally, accounting standards require the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity. For the financial instruments that BB&T does not record at fair value, estimates of fair value are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values are calculated based on the value of one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various financial instruments. No readily available market exists for a significant portion of BB&T’s financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments.

41

Cash and cash equivalents and segregated cash due from banks: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal risk grades are used to adjust discount rates for risk migration and expected losses. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

FDIC loss share receivable: The fair value of the FDIC loss share receivable was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying a risk free interest rate that is adjusted for the uncertainty in the timing and amount of these cash flows. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to loans were estimated using the same assumptions that were used in determining the accounting values for the related loans. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to securities are based upon the fair value of the related securities and the payment that would be required if the securities were sold for that amount. The FDIC loss share agreements are not transferrable and, accordingly, there is no market for this receivable.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits, interest-checking accounts, savings accounts and certain money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. In addition, nonfinancial instruments such as core deposit intangibles are not recorded at fair value. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and in the opinion of management, these items add significant value to BB&T.

Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on BB&T’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Contractual commitments: The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair values also consider the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties’ creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. The fair values of commitments to fund affordable housing investments are estimated using the net present value of future commitments. These respective fair value measurements would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

BB&T uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. These instruments consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. There are five areas of risk management: balance sheet management, mortgage banking operations, mortgage servicing rights, net investment in a foreign subsidiary and client-related and other risk management activities. No portion of the change in fair value of the derivative has been excluded from effectiveness testing. The ineffective portion was immaterial for all periods presented.

Cash Flow Hedges

BB&T’s floating rate business loans, overnight funding, FHLB advances, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt expose it to variability in cash flows for interest payments. The risk management objective for these floating rate assets and liabilities is to hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions. These forecasted transactions include interest receipts on commercial loans and

45

interest payments on 3 month LIBOR funding. All of BB&T’s current cash flow hedges are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on then existing financial instruments.

For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that has been highly effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring during the forecast period or within a short period thereafter, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately. During the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T amortized approximately ($9) million and ($6) million of unrecognized pre-tax gains (losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net interest income.

At March 31, 2012, BB&T had $253 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared to $254 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses at December 31, 2011. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12 months is a loss totaling approximately $49 million. This includes active hedges and gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities.

All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Fair Value Hedges

BB&T’s fixed rate long-term debt, certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, loan and state and political subdivision security assets result in exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed rate assets and liabilities is to convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate. BB&T accomplishes its risk management objective by hedging exposure to changes in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments primarily through the use of swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives that have been highly effective as hedges are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

During the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T terminated certain fair value hedges primarily related to its long-term debt and received proceeds of $90 million and $11 million, respectively. When hedged debt/other financial instruments are retired or redeemed, the amounts associated with the hedge are included as a component of the gain or loss on termination. When a hedge is terminated but the hedged item remains outstanding, the proceeds from the termination of these hedges have been reflected as part of the carrying value of the underlying debt/other financial instrument and are being amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities. During the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recognized pre-tax benefits of $65 million and $29 million respectively through reductions of interest expense from previously unwound fair value hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include those that are entered into as either balance sheet risk management instruments or to facilitate client needs. Balance sheet risk management hedges are those hedges that do not qualify to be treated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk associated with an asset or liability.

This category of hedges includes derivatives that hedge mortgage banking operations and MSRs. For mortgage loans originated for sale, BB&T is exposed to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date. BB&T’s risk management strategy related to its interest rate lock commitment derivatives and loans held for sale includes using mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and

46

options in order to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of its MSRs. For the period ended March 31, 2012, BB&T recorded a loss totaling $53 million related to these derivatives which was offset by an increase in the carrying value of mortgage servicing assets totaling $92 million. For the period ended March 31, 2011, BB&T recognized a $39 million loss on these derivatives, which was offset by a positive $40 million valuation adjustment related to the mortgage servicing asset.

BB&T also held, as risk management instruments, other derivatives not designated as hedges primarily to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients, as well as activities related to balance sheet management.

Net Investment Hedges

In connection with a long-term investment in a foreign subsidiary, BB&T is exposed to changes in the carrying value of its investment as a result of changes in the related foreign exchange rate. For net investment hedges, changes in value of qualifying hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) when the terms of the derivative match the notional and currency risk being hedged. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) reflected unrecognized after-tax losses totaling $12 million and $11 million, respectively, related to cumulative changes in the fair value of BB&T’s net investment hedge.

Derivatives Credit Risk - Dealer Counterparties

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. BB&T addresses the risk of loss by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed negotiated limits.

As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $32 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $34 million and had posted $718 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $733 million. In the event that BB&T’s credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted to these counterparties would have increased by $23 million. As of December 31, 2011, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $82 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $79 million and had posted $639 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $669 million. In the event that BB&T’s credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted to these counterparties would have increased by $30 million.

After collateral postings are considered, BB&T had $2 million and $3 million, of unsecured positions in a gain with dealer counterparties at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. All of BB&T’s derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties that are national market makers with strong credit ratings.

Derivatives Credit Risk - Central Clearing Parties

BB&T also clears certain derivatives through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral, as well as additional collateral for trades in a net loss position. Initial margin collateral requirements are established by central clearing parties on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment for the maximum experienced change in value associated with a one day movement in interest rates. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had posted $106 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $12 million net gain position. As of December 31, 2011, BB&T had posted $145 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $60 million net loss position. BB&T had $12 million of unsecured positions in a gain with central clearing parties at March 31, 2012.

NOTE 17. Operating Segments

BB&T’s operations are divided into six reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Dealer Financial Services, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services and Financial Services. These operating segments have been identified based on BB&T’s organizational structure. The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the operations of these business segments.

BB&T emphasizes revenue growth by focusing on client service, sales effectiveness and relationship management. The segment results contained herein are presented based on internal management accounting policies that were designed to support these strategies. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive

authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. The performance of the segments is not comparable with BB&T’s consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

Allocation methodologies are subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and business or product lines within the segments change. Also, because the development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be periodically revised.

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a description of internal accounting policies and the basis of segmentation, including a description of the segments presented in the accompanying tables.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Regulatory Considerations

BB&T and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and various state insurance and securities regulators. BB&T and its subsidiaries have from time to time received requests for information from regulatory authorities in various states, including state insurance commissions and state attorneys general, securities regulators and other regulatory authorities, concerning their business practices. Such requests are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting the Company’s businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in BB&T’s consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include BB&T’s accounting for the allowance for credit losses, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments associated with mergers and acquisitions, costs and benefit obligations associated with BB&T’s pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding BB&T’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, BB&T’s critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. BB&T’s significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no changes to BB&T’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” included herein.

Executive Summary

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2012 of $431 million was up 91.6% compared to $225 million earned during the same period in 2011. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the first quarter of 2012 were $0.61, up 90.6% compared to $0.32 for the same period in 2011. BB&T’s results of operations for the first quarter of 2012 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.03% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 9.75% compared to prior year ratios of 0.60% and 5.48%, respectively.

Total revenues, on a tax equivalent basis, were $2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2012, up $309 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in total revenues was due to $152 million of higher net interest income, primarily driven by an increase in earning assets and lower funding costs. The net interest margin was 3.93%, down 8 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2011. Noninterest income increased $157 million. The increase in noninterest income was largely attributable to $121 million of higher revenues from mortgage banking activities and a $21 million increase in insurance income. In addition, other income was up $38 million due to $74 million of fewer losses and write-downs on the commercial loans held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming loan disposition strategy, partially offset by $42 million of

51

increased write-downs on affordable housing investments due to revised estimates and processes used to value these investments. The increases were partially offset by a decline of $29 million from checkcard fees primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment.

The provision for credit losses, excluding covered loans, for the first quarter of 2012 declined $55 million, or 16.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2011, as improving credit quality resulted in lower provision expense. Net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, for the first quarter of 2012 were $67 million lower than the first quarter of 2011.

Noninterest expenses were $1.4 billion for the first quarter of 2012, up slightly compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to higher personnel costs, which were up $36 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in personnel costs was due to higher salaries and wages, as well as an increase in pension expense. In addition, other expenses were up $22 million due to a $15 million valuation loss on leveraged lease investments. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $51 million in foreclosed property expenses due to fewer losses and lower carry costs and a $20 million reduction in regulatory charges due to lower deposit insurance expense.

The provision for income taxes was $189 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $53 million for the first quarter of 2011. This resulted in an effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 of 29.8% compared to 18.5% for the prior year’s first quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax earnings relative to permanent tax differences in 2012 compared to 2011. The current quarter also included $16 million in tax expense primarily due to changes in the treatment of certain credits related to affordable housing partnership investments.

Asset quality continued to show improvement during the first quarter of 2012. Total nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, were $2.3 billion at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $194 million, or 7.9%, compared to December 31, 2011. The decline this quarter is the eighth consecutive quarterly decline in nonperforming assets. In addition, loan delinquencies improved significantly during the first quarter of 2012, with improvements in both loans 30-89 days past due and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

BB&T’s total assets at March 31, 2012 were $174.8 billion, up slightly compared to December 31, 2011. Average loans held for investment grew 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2011. The growth in average loans held for investment was broad based across all major portfolios. Average deposits increased 18.0% compared to the first quarter of 2011. In addition, the mix of the portfolio continues to improve with average noninterest-bearing deposits representing 21.0% of average deposits in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 19.9% in the same period of the prior year. The cost of interest-bearing deposits continued to decline during the first quarter and was 0.49% for the first quarter of 2012, compared to 0.82% for the first quarter of 2011.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $402 million, or 2.3%, compared to December 31, 2011. The Tier 1 common ratio was 10.0% and 9.7% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.7% and 16.2% at March 31, 2012, respectively, compared to 12.5% and 15.7%, respectively, at December 31, 2011. BB&T’s risk-based capital ratios remain well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks. As of March 31, 2012, measures of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

In March, the Federal Reserve published the results of the 2012 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. The regulators had no objections to BB&T’s 2012 capital plans submitted for review. Following the review, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend 25% to $0.20.

On March 13, 2012, BB&T announced that it had entered into an amendment to its agreement to acquire Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based BankAtlantic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp. The core provisions of the original agreement remain unchanged. BB&T will acquire approximately $2.1 billion in loans

52

and assume approximately $3.3 billion in deposits for an estimated premium of $301 million above the net asset value of BankAtlantic at closing. This represents a 9% deposit premium based on September 30, 2011 balances. The premium to be paid by BB&T is subject to adjustment based on actual deposit balances at close, but in no event will it exceed $316 million. Under the terms of the modified agreement, BB&T will assume BankAtlantic Bancorp’s obligations with respect to outstanding trust preferred securities, with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $285 million. In exchange for the assumption of these liabilities, BB&T will receive a 95% preferred interest (5% preferred interest will be held by BankAtlantic Bancorp) in a newly established LLC, that will hold a $423 million pool of loans and $17 million of other net assets (based on BankAtlantic’s book value gross of any reserves as of January 31, 2012). The pool of loans, which has an unpaid principal balance of approximately $500 million, represents a portion of the loans that were originally anticipated to be retained by BankAtlantic Bancorp pursuant to the original agreement. BankAtlantic Bancorp will also provide BB&T with an incremental $35 million guarantee to further assure BB&T’s recovery of the $285 million assumed liability. The LLC’s assets will be monetized over time and once BB&T has recovered $285 million in preference amount from the LLC, BB&T’s interest in the LLC will terminate. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012, subject to regulatory approvals.

On April 2, 2012, BB&T closed the acquisition of the life and property and casualty insurance operating divisions of Roseland, N.J.—based Crump Group Inc. The acquisition creates the largest independent wholesale distributor of life insurance and one of the largest providers of wholesale commercial insurance brokerage and specialty programs in the U.S. BB&T paid $570 million in cash to complete the transaction, which is expected to be accretive to earnings and to add approximately $300 million in annual revenue to Insurance Services. The acquisition did not include Crump’s retirement services business, Ascensus.

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional information with respect to BB&T’s recent accomplishments and significant challenges. The factors causing the fluctuations in the major balance sheet and income statement categories for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011 are further discussed in the following sections.

Analysis Of Results Of Operations

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders totaled $431 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.61 in the first quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the same period of 2011 totaled $225 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.32. The increase in earnings was driven by higher revenues and lower credit-related costs. BB&T’s results of operations for the first quarter of 2012 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.03% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 9.75%, compared to prior year returns of 0.60% and 5.48%, respectively.

The following table sets forth selected financial ratios for the last five calendar quarters.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis was $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 11.5% compared to the same period in 2011. The higher net interest income was driven by an increase in earning assets and lower funding costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, average earning assets

53

increased $17.2 billion, or 12.9%, compared to the same period of 2011, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $9.8 billion, or 8.6%. The net interest margin was 3.93% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 4.01% for the same period of 2011. The 8 basis point decline in the net interest margin was due to runoff of covered assets and lower yields on new loans, which has been partially offset by lower funding costs.

The FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the first quarter of 2012 was 2.70%, which represents an increase of 11 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the first quarter of 2011.

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2012 was 5.56% compared to 5.94% in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in the FTE yield on the total loan portfolio for the first three months of 2012 was primarily due to runoff of covered loans from the Colonial acquisition and lower yields on new loans due to the low interest-rate environment.

The average rate for interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2012 was 0.49% compared to 0.82% for the same period in the prior year, reflecting a decrease in relatively higher-rate certificates of deposit and management’s ability to lower rates on other deposit products.

For the first quarter of 2012, the average annualized FTE rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.23% compared to 0.30% during the first quarter of 2011. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the first quarter of 2012 was 3.41% compared to 3.97% for the same period in 2011. The decline in the average rate paid on long-term debt reflects the positive impact of accelerated amortization from certain derivatives that were unwound in a gain position. The benefits from the derivatives gains are being amortized over the remaining expected life of the respective debt.

Management expects that the second quarter of 2012 net interest margin will be in the 3.80% to 3.90% range due to the continued runoff of the covered loan portfolio.

The following table provides information related to covered and acquired loans, covered securities and the FDIC loss sharing asset recognized in the Colonial acquisition. The table excludes all amounts related to other assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

Interest income for the first quarter of 2012 on loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition decreased $41 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. Interest income on acquired loans decreased $38 million reflecting lower average loan balances partially offset by higher yields due to the cumulative impact of changes

54

to expected cash flows based on the quarterly cash flow reassessment process required by acquisition accounting. The yield on covered and other acquired loans for the first quarter of 2012 was 19.49% compared to 18.09% in 2011. At March 31, 2012, the accretable yield balance on these loans was $1.4 billion. Accretable yield represents the excess of future cash flows above the current net carrying amount of loans and will be recognized into income over the remaining life of the covered and acquired loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the accretable yield of purchased nonimpaired loans and purchased impaired loans decreased $62 million and $69 million, respectively, due primarily to changes in the expected lives of loans.

The provision for covered loans was $3 million in the current quarter. There was no provision for covered loans in the first quarter of 2011. The first quarter of 2012 reassessment showed decreases in expected cash flows in certain loan pools that were partially offset by recoveries in other previously impaired loan pools.

FDIC loss share income, net was a negative $57 million for the first quarter of 2012, which was principally negative accretion attributable to the offset for the cumulative impact of cash flow reassessments for covered loans. The negative accretion related to the improvement in credit losses is recognized on a level yield basis over the life of the related FDIC loss share asset, which has a shorter weighted average life than the corresponding loans.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes. Changes attributable to the mix of assets and liabilities have been allocated proportionally between the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $288 million (including $3 million for covered loans) for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $340 million for the first quarter of 2011. Overall, the provision for credit losses declined due to improving credit trends and outlook, as net charge-offs were down 12.9% (or 16.6% excluding covered loan charge-offs) compared to the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in the overall provision for credit losses reflects increases for commercial and industrial loans and direct retail loans, which were offset by reductions in commercial real estate, residential mortgage and revolving credit loans due to updates to loss estimate factors. The impact of these changes resulted in higher provision expense for the Community Banking segment and lower provision for Residential Mortgage Banking.

Net charge-offs were 1.28% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.28% excluding covered loans) for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 1.56% of average loans and leases (or 1.65% excluding covered loans) for the same period in 2011. Management expects net charge-offs to approximate 1.25% in the second quarter of 2012 and trend lower throughout the remainder of the year.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $871 million, compared to $714 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $157 million, or 22.0%. The increase in noninterest income was driven by record mortgage banking income and growth in insurance income, which was partially offset by lower checkcard fees.

Insurance income, which is BB&T’s largest source of noninterest income, totaled $271 million for the first quarter of 2012, which was up 8.4% compared to the same three-month period of 2011. The increase in insurance income reflects the impact of acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2011 and improved performance across most business lines.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $137 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $2 million, or 1.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2011. The increase in service charges was primarily due to higher account maintenance and service fees, partially offset by lower revenues from overdrafts.

Mortgage banking income totaled $216 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $121 million compared to $95 million earned in the first quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily due to $93 million in higher gains on residential mortgage loan production due to wider margins and increased sales volumes. Included in mortgage banking income during the first quarter of 2012 was a gain of $40 million from the net valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights. This compares to a net gain of $2 million in the first quarter of 2011. Included in the first quarter 2012 net valuation adjustment is a $93 million increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, primarily due to a decrease in prepayment speeds, partially offset by $53 million of losses from derivative financial instruments used to manage the economic risk of the mortgage servicing rights.

Securities losses, net of gains and including other-than-temporary impairment charges, totaled $9 million for the first quarter of 2012. This includes $4 million of losses from the sale of non-agency mortgage backed securities and $5 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges. The other-than-temporary impairment charges for the first quarter of 2012 include $4 million related to covered securities.

Other noninterest income, including investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions, checkcard fees, bankcard fees and merchant discounts, trust and investment advisory revenues, income from bank-owned life insurance, and FDIC loss share income totaled $256 million during the first quarter of 2012, compared with $234 million for the same period of 2011. This increase was primarily due to $74 million of losses and write-downs recorded on commercial loans held for sale in the first quarter of 2011. Offsetting this increase was $42 million of increased write-downs on affordable housing investments due to revised estimates and processes used to value these investments and a $29 million decrease in checkcard fees primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment on October 1, 2011.

57

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses totaled $1.4 billion for the first quarter of 2012, a slight increase over the same period a year ago.

Personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, was $730 million for the current quarter compared to $694 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $36 million, or 5.2%. This growth primarily resulted from increases of $20 million in salaries and $15 million for pension expense. The increase in pension expense was primarily due to a change in the discount rate.

Foreclosed property expenses include the gain or loss on sale of foreclosed property, valuation adjustments resulting from updated appraisals, and the ongoing expense of maintaining foreclosed properties. Foreclosed property expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $92 million compared to $143 million for the first quarter of 2011. Foreclosed property expenses were lower due to fewer losses and write-downs and lower maintenance costs due to a reduction in inventory compared to the prior year. Management expects foreclosed property expense to be at a similar level in the second quarter of 2012 and to trend downward in the second half of the year, as the inventory continues to decline.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $153 million, a slight decrease compared to $154 million for the first quarter of 2011.

Other noninterest expenses, including loan processing expenses, regulatory charges, professional services, software expense, amortization of intangibles, and merger-related and restructuring charges, totaled $410 million for the current quarter, an increase of $29 million, or 7.6%, compared to the same period of 2011. The increase in other noninterest expenses includes a $15 million write-down for the April settlement of the last remaining leveraged leases and an increase of $14 million for merger-related and restructuring charges, primarily due to charges associated with management’s expense optimization efforts and costs related to the BankAtlantic and Crump acquisitions. Regulatory charges decreased $20 million, or 32.8%, as a result of improved credit quality that has led to lower deposit insurance premiums.

Noninterest expenses remain elevated due to higher costs associated with the credit environment. This includes higher foreclosed property expenses, personnel costs and other expenses associated with collections and problem loan workouts. Management expects that as the levels of nonperforming assets decline these costs will decrease.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities

Management expects merger-related and restructuring charges to be approximately $40-$50 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to the acquisitions of Crump and BankAtlantic. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $25 million and $20 million, respectively, of merger-related and restructuring accruals. Merger and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at March 31, 2012 are expected to be utilized within one year, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire later.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $189 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $136 million compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 were 29.8% and 18.5%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the current year is primarily the result of higher pre-tax income relative to permanent tax differences. In addition, the current quarter includes $16 million in tax expense primarily due to changes in the treatment of certain credits related to affordable housing partnership investments.

BB&T has extended credit to, and invested in, the obligations of states and municipalities and their agencies, and has made other investments and loans that produce tax-exempt income. The income generated from these investments, together with certain other transactions that have favorable tax treatment, have reduced BB&T’s overall effective tax rate from the statutory rate in 2012 and 2011.

58

Management currently expects the effective tax rate to be in the mid-20% range for the remainder of 2012.

Refer to Note 11 “Income Taxes” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of uncertain tax positions and other tax matters.

Segment Results

BB&T’s operations are divided into six reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Dealer Financial Services, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, and Financial Services. These operating segments have been identified based on BB&T’s organizational structure. See Note 17 “Operating Segments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained herein and BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s reportable business segments. Fluctuations in noninterest income and noninterest expense incurred directly by the operating segments are more fully discussed in the “Noninterest Income” and “Noninterest Expense” sections above. The following table reflects the net income (loss) for each of BB&T’s operating segments:

BB&T Corporation	$	445	$	234

Community Banking reported net income of $105 million compared to $93 million in the prior year. The $12 million increase in net income attributable to the Community Banking segment was primarily due to a $75 million increase in noninterest income and a $51 million decrease in noninterest expense. Noninterest income growth was driven by higher mortgage banking referral income and lower losses on commercial loans held for sale. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily the result of lower foreclosed property expenses and lower FDIC insurance charges allocated to Community Banking. Higher noninterest income and lower noninterest expense was offset by a $51 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses and a $37 million decrease in net interest income and intersegment net interest income. The higher loan loss provision was driven by reserve adjustments and growth in the direct retail loan portfolio as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net interest income and intersegment net interest income was primarily driven by lower funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) credits earned on deposits related to the decline in the FTP liquidity premiums from the prior year, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in FTP charges on loans. The decrease in net FTP was further offset by improvements in the deposit mix as a result of growth in transaction account balances and a decline in client certificates of deposits.

Residential Mortgage Banking reported net income of $128 million compared to a $5 million net loss in the prior year. This improvement was primarily due to a $120 million increase in noninterest income primarily due to higher mortgage loan sales, improved margins and an increase in the fair value of the mortgage servicing asset. The increase in the fair value of the mortgage servicing asset was partially offset by losses on derivatives hedging the value of the asset. In addition, Residential Mortgage Banking benefited from a $101 million decrease in the

59

allocated provision for loan and lease losses as a result of improving credit trends in the Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio and updates to loss factors. Offsetting higher noninterest income and lower provision expenses was a $22 million increase in noninterest expense associated with the increased loan originations, as well as an $80 million increase in the provision for income taxes.

Dealer Financial Services reported net income of $57 million compared to $47 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $14 million increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income, as Regional Acceptance Corporation generated higher margins on new originations in its loan portfolio due to lower FTP cost of funding as interest rates have remained low and relatively stable, coupled with growth in the loan portfolio.

Specialized Lending reported net income of $53 million compared to $63 million in the prior year. The $10 million decrease in net income for the Specialized Lending segment was primarily due to a $23 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses, offset by an $18 million increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income. Net interest income and intersegment net interest income growth was driven by Sheffield Financial’s loan portfolio growth from expanded dealer financing relationships, as well as Mortgage Warehouse Lending’s loan portfolio growth from new relationships, higher commitment levels, and higher line usage.

Insurance Services reported net income of $23 million compared to $21 million in the prior year. Noninterest income increased $21 million over the prior year primarily driven by higher commissions on property and casualty insurance and employee benefits. Employee benefits commission growth was primarily attributable to two companies acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011: Precept, a full-service employee benefits consulting and administrative solutions firm with offices in Irvine and San Ramon, California, and Liberty Benefit Insurance Services, a full-service employee benefits broker located in San Jose, California. Higher noninterest income growth was offset by a $17 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily as a result of higher personnel costs.

Financial Services reported net income of $63 million compared to $65 million in the prior year. The $2 million decrease in net income was primarily due to a $23 million increase in the allocated provision for loan

and lease losses and a $20 million increase in noninterest expense and allocated corporate expenses. Higher noninterest expenses were driven by personnel costs, service center allocations, and professional services primarily resulting from growth in the segment. The higher loan loss provision was driven by growth in the loan portfolio as compared to the prior year, coupled with reserve adjustments in the prior year related to credit quality trends. Higher provision and noninterest expenses were offset by a $28 million increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income and a $12 million increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income was driven by strong growth in Corporate Banking’s loans and deposits and increased BB&T Wealth lending. Corporate Banking’s loan growth of 58.6% and transaction deposit growth of 73.9% was generated through both geographic expansion and the addition of industry sector expertise. Corporate Banking continues to increase its syndicated lending efforts to support its expanded customer base. Captured within the intersegment interest income for Financial Services is the net interest margin and FTP for the loans and deposits assigned to the Wealth Division that are housed in the Community Bank. The increase in noninterest income was driven by strong core growth across Financial Services’ fee-based businesses.

Analysis Of Financial Condition

Investment Activities

The total securities portfolio was $37.9 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $1.5 billion compared with December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the securities portfolio includes $24.4 billion of available-for-sale securities and $13.5 billion of securities held to maturity. Management holds a portion of BB&T’s securities portfolio as held-to-maturity to mitigate possible negative impacts on its regulatory capital under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines. The effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.8 years at March 31, 2012

60

compared to 3.3 years at December 31, 2011. The duration of the securities portfolio excludes equity securities, auction rate securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities that were acquired in the Colonial acquisition.

Average securities for the first quarter of 2012 were $36.6 billion, an increase of $11.5 billion, or 46.0%, compared with the average balance during the first quarter of 2011. The increase in the average securities portfolio reflects the purchase of additional GNMA securities in the latter half of 2011 as part of management’s strategy to comply with the proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines.

See Note 2 “Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.

Lending Activities

For the first quarter of 2012, average total loans were $110.4 billion, an increase of $5.1 billion, or 4.9%, compared to the same period in 2011. Average loans held for investment were $107.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012, a 4.7% increase compared to $102.6 billion for the corresponding period of the prior year. The growth in average loans held for investment was broad-based and across all of the major lending portfolios.

The following table presents the composition of average loans and leases:

(1) Commercial real estate - residential ADC represents residential acquisition, development and construction loans.

Average commercial and industrial loans were up 7.7% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011. The increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio is largely a result of management’s focused efforts at growing this component of the loan portfolio. Average commercial real estate - residential, acquisition and development loans (“ADC”) declined $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2012

61

compared to the same period of 2011. The decline in this portfolio reflects management’s decision to lower exposures to higher-risk real estate lending. The balance of the ADC portfolio was $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2012. Average commercial real estate - other loans for the first quarter of 2012 declined 6.1% compared to the first quarter of 2011. The decline in this portfolio is primarily due to runoff of certain segments of the portfolio.

Average direct retail loans grew $1.0 billion, or 7.3%, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. This portfolio is primarily home equity loans and lines to individuals. Demand for home equity loans improved during the second quarter of 2011 and balances have increased for each of the last four quarters. Average direct retail loans increased 15.2%, on an annualized basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Average residential mortgage loans held for investment increased $3.1 billion, or 17.5%, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011, as management continues to retain certain residential mortgage loans in the held for investment portfolio.

Average sales finance loans increased 6.2% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011 as prime automobile lending continues to perform well.

Average loans held by BB&T’s other lending subsidiaries increased 11.2% for the first three months of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011. The growth in this portfolio was primarily in equipment finance and consumer finance.

Average loans held for sale increased $245 million, or 9.2%, for the first quarter compared to the same period in 2011 due to growth of $642 million, or 31.5%, in average residential mortgage loans held for sale as a result of the historic low-rate environment. In addition, average commercial mortgage loans held for sale, were up $93 million in the first quarter of 2012. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $491 million in average commercial loans held for sale that were still held in 2011, as part of management’s nonperforming loan disposition efforts. All commercial loans held for sale were disposed of prior to the end of 2011.

Average total loans held for investment increased an annualized 6.4% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Management currently expects average total loans held for investment to increase in the range of 5% to 7% annualized for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter, excluding BankAtlantic, contingent on overall economic conditions remaining relatively stable.

Asset Quality

BB&T’s asset quality continued to improve during the first quarter of 2012. Nonperforming assets, which includes foreclosed real estate, repossessions, nonaccrual loans and certain restructured loans, totaled $2.6 billion (or $2.3 billion excluding covered foreclosed property) at March 31, 2012, compared to $2.8 billion (or $2.5 billion excluding covered foreclosed property) at December 31, 2011. The 7.9% decrease in nonperforming assets, excluding covered foreclosed property, was primarily due to a decline of $158 million in foreclosed real estate. Nonperforming assets have decreased for eight consecutive quarters and are at their lowest level since December 31, 2008. Management expects nonperforming assets will continue to trend lower in the range of 5-10% for the second quarter of 2012, assuming no significant economic downturn. Refer to Table 8 for an analysis of the changes in nonperforming assets during the first quarter of 2012. As a percentage of loans and leases plus foreclosed property, nonperforming assets were 2.35% at March 31, 2012 (or 2.12% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) compared with 2.52% (or 2.29% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) at December 31, 2011.

The current inventory of foreclosed real estate, excluding amounts covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements, totaled $378 million as of March 31, 2012. This includes land and lots, which totaled $217 million and had been held for approximately 16 months on average. The remaining foreclosed real estate of $161 million, which is primarily single family residential and commercial real estate, had an average holding period of 11 months.

Loan delinquencies improved significantly during the first quarter of 2012. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements,

62

totaled $157 million at March 31, 2012, compared with $202 million at year-end 2011, a decline of 22.3%. Loans 30-89 days past due, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $870 million at March 31, 2012, which was a decline of $262 million, or 23.1%, compared with $1.1 billion at year-end 2011.

Substantially all of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC reimburses BB&T for the majority of the losses incurred. Given the significant amount of covered loans that are past due but still accruing, BB&T believes the inclusion of these loans in certain asset quality ratios including “Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases,” “Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases,” “Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases” and certain other asset quality ratios that reflect nonperforming assets in the numerator or denominator (or both) results in significant distortion to these ratios. In addition, because loan level charge-offs related to the acquired loans are not recognized in the financial statements until the cumulative amounts exceed the original loss projections on a pool basis, the net charge-off ratio for the acquired loans is not consistent with the net charge-off ratio for other loan portfolios. The inclusion of these loans in the asset quality ratios described above could result in a lack of comparability across quarters or years, and could negatively impact comparability with other portfolios that were not impacted by acquisition accounting. BB&T believes that the presentation of asset quality measures excluding covered loans and related amounts from both the numerator and denominator provides better perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio. Accordingly, the asset quality measures in Table 7 present asset quality information both on a consolidated basis as well as excluding the covered assets and related amounts. In addition, BB&T has excluded mortgage loans that are guaranteed by the government, primarily FHA/VA loans, from its asset quality metrics as these loans are recoverable through various government guarantees. Finally, BB&T has recorded on the balance sheet certain amounts related to delinquent GNMA loans serviced for others that BB&T has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase and has effectively regained control. These amounts are also excluded from asset quality metrics as reimbursement of insured amounts is proceeding in accordance with investor guidelines. The amount of government guaranteed mortgage loans and GNMA loans serviced for others that have been excluded are noted in the footnotes to Table 6.

BB&T’s potential problem loans include loans on nonaccrual status or past due as disclosed in Table 6. In addition, for its commercial portfolio segment, loans that are rated special mention or substandard performing are closely monitored by management as potential problem loans. Refer to Note 4 “Allowance for Credit Losses” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to these potential problem loans.

(1) Excludes mortgage loans guaranteed by GNMA that BB&T does not have the obligation to repurchase. Refer to the footnotes of Table 6 for amounts related to these loans.

(2) Excludes mortgage loans guaranteed by the government. Refer to the footnotes of Table 6 for amounts related to these loans.

(3) These asset quality ratios have been adjusted to remove the impact of covered loans and covered foreclosed property. Appropriate adjustments to the numerator and denominator have been reflected in the calculation of these ratios. Management believes the inclusion of covered loans in certain asset quality ratios that include nonperforming assets, past due loans or net charge-offs in the numerator or denominator results in distortion of these ratios and they may not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that were not impacted by purchase accounting.

(4) Excluding the impact of losses and balances associated with BB&T’s NPA disposition strategy, the adjusted net charge-offs ratio would have been 1.46% for the second quarter 2011.

Certain of BB&T’s residential mortgage loans have an initial period where the borrower is only required to pay the periodic interest. After the interest period, the loan will require both the payment of interest and principal over the remaining term. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 10% of the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans is in the interest-only phase, compared to 11% at December 31, 2011. Approximately 17% of the balances at March 31, 2012, will begin amortizing within the next three years. As of March 31, 2012, 3.9% of these interest-only loans are 30 days or more past due and still accruing and 2.9% are on nonaccrual status, compared to 4.3% and 2.8%, respectively, at December 31, 2011.

BB&T’s home equity lines, which are a component of the direct retail portfolio, generally require the payment of interest only during the first 15 years after origination. After this initial period, the outstanding balance begins amortizing and requires the payment of both interest and principal. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 66% of the outstanding balance of home equity lines is currently in the interest-only phase and less than 5% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. The delinquency rate of interest-only lines is similar to amortizing lines.

The following table presents the changes in nonperforming assets, excluding covered foreclosed property, during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Troubled debt restructurings (“restructurings”) generally occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term. As a result, BB&T will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties, and ultimately to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted resulting in classification of the loan as a restructuring. Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional policy information regarding restructurings.

67

BB&T’s performing restructured loans, excluding government guaranteed mortgage loans, totaled $1.0 billion at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $94 million, or 8.5%, compared with December 31, 2011. The decline was primarily related to commercial performing restructurings and direct retail restructurings. The decline in direct retail restructurings was largely due to the removal of TDRs due to performance under the modified terms for the required time period (generally a minimum of six months). The following table provides a summary of commercial performing restructuring activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Balance at March 31,	$	188		$	478

Payments and payoffs represent cash received from borrowers in connection with scheduled principal payments, prepayments and payoffs of amounts outstanding at the maturity date of the loan. Transfers to nonperforming restructurings represent loans that no longer meet the requirements necessary to reflect the loan in accruing status and as a result are subsequently classified as a nonperforming restructuring.

Restructurings may be removed due to the passage of time if they: (1) did not include a forgiveness of principal or interest, (2) have performed in accordance with the modified terms (generally a minimum of six months), (3) were reported as a restructuring over a year end reporting period, and (4) reflected an interest rate on the modified loan that was a market rate at the date of modification. These loans were previously considered restructurings as a result of structural concessions such as extended interest-only terms or an amortization period that did not otherwise conform to normal underwriting guidelines.

In addition, certain transactions may be removed from classification as a restructuring as a result of a subsequent non-concessionary re-modification. Non-concessionary re-modifications represent restructurings that did not contain concessionary terms at the date of a subsequent renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the re-modification. A re-modification may be considered for such a re-classification if the loan has not had a forgiveness of principal or interest and the modified terms qualify as more than minor such that the re-modified loan is considered a new loan. Alternatively, such loans may be considered for reclassification in years subsequent to the date of the re-modification based on the passage of time as described in the preceding paragraph.

In connection with consumer loan restructurings, a nonperforming loan will be returned to accruing status when current as to principal and interest and upon a sustained historical repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months).

(3) Nonperforming restructurings are included in nonaccrual loan disclosures.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses, which consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, totaled $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to 2.02% of loans and leases held for investment at March 31, 2012 (or 1.97% excluding covered loans), compared to 2.10% (or 2.05% excluding covered loans) at year-end 2011. The decline in the allowance for loan and lease losses reflects continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The decrease in the overall allowance reflects increases for commercial and industrial loans and direct retail loans, which were offset by reductions in commercial real estate, residential mortgage and revolving credit due to updates to loss estimate factors. The allowance for impaired loans decreased from 15.4% at December 31, 2011 to 13.3% at March 31, 2012, primarily due to residential mortgage. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans held for investment, excluding covered loans, was 1.11x at March 31, 2012 compared to 1.13x at December 31, 2011.

BB&T monitors the performance of its home equity loans and lines secured by second liens similar to other consumer loans and utilizes assumptions specific to these loans in determining the necessary allowance. BB&T also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether BB&T or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien holder is in the process of foreclosure, BB&T obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter.

BB&T has limited ability to monitor the delinquency status of the first lien unless the first lien is held or serviced by BB&T. As a result, using migration assumptions that are based on historical experience adjusted for current

69

trends, BB&T estimates the volume of second lien positions where the first lien is delinquent and appropriately adjusts the allowance to reflect the increased risk of loss on these credits. Finally, BB&T also provides additional reserves to second lien positions when the estimated combined current loan to value ratio exceeds 100%. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T held or serviced the first lien on 39% of its second lien positions.

BB&T’s net charge-offs totaled $352 million for the first quarter of 2012 and amounted to 1.28% of average loans and leases (or 1.28% excluding covered loans), compared to $404 million, or 1.56% of average loans and leases (or 1.65% excluding covered loans), in the first quarter of 2011. Included in net charge-offs for 2012 is $15 million of charge-offs related to covered loans. This represents realized losses in certain acquired loan pools that exceed the amounts originally estimated at the acquisition date. This impairment, which is subject to the loss sharing agreements, was provided for in prior quarters and therefore the charge-off had no income statement impact.

Refer to Note 4 “Allowance for Credit Losses” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosures.

The following table presents an estimated allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. This allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

Deposits

The following table presents the composition of average deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Table 13

Composition of Average Deposits

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012					2011
	Balance		% of total			Balance		% of total
	(Dollars in millions)
Noninterest-bearing deposits	$	26,173		21.0	%	$	20,990		19.9	%
Interest checking		19,712		15.8			17,622		16.7

Total average deposits	$	124,606		100.0	%	$	105,614		100.0	%

Average deposits for the first quarter of 2012 increased $19.0 billion, or 18.0%, compared to the same period in 2011. The mix of the portfolio has continued to improve with growth of $5.2 billion in noninterest-bearing and $9.0 billion in lower-cost interest-bearing deposits. Certificates and other time deposits also increased $6.1 billion, while the cost for these products declined 75 basis points. Partially offsetting the growth in these categories was a decline of $1.4 billion in foreign office deposits as the strong deposit growth reduced the need for these types of funding sources. Growth in noninterest-bearing deposits was led by commercial accounts, which contributed $3.5 billion of the growth in this category. In addition, noninterest-bearing deposits for public funds and retail accounts grew $836 million and $824 million, respectively. Growth in interest-bearing domestic deposits was also led by commercial accounts, which contributed $14.9 billion of the growth in this category, followed by public funds, which grew $832 million. Retail interest-bearing deposits declined $547 million, as higher cost certificates were not renewed. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.49% for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 33 basis points compared to the same period of 2011.

Borrowings

At March 31, 2012, short-term borrowings totaled $3.4 billion, a decrease of $130 million, or 3.6%, compared to December 31, 2011. Long-term debt totaled $22.8 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $965 million, or 4.4%, from the balance at December 31, 2011. The increase in long-term debt reflects the issuance of $750 million of senior notes in March 2012, with an interest rate of 2.15% due March 2017, and $300 million in subordinated notes in March 2012, with an interest rate of 3.95% due March 2022. The proceeds from these issuances are being used for general corporate funding purposes.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2012 was $17.9 billion, an increase of 2.3% compared to December 31, 2011. BB&T’s book value per common share at March 31, 2012 was $25.51, compared to $24.98 at December 31, 2011.

Shareholders’ equity increased $291 million due to earnings available to common shareholders in excess of dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $97 million, primarily as a result of an increase in the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

BB&T’s tangible shareholders’ equity available to common shareholders was $12.0 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $292 million, or 2.5%, compared to December 31, 2011. BB&T’s tangible book value per common share at March 31, 2012 was $17.12 compared to $16.73 at December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, measures

72

of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

Risk Management

In the normal course of business BB&T encounters inherent risk in its business activities. Risk is managed on a decentralized basis with risk decisions made as closely as possible to where the risk occurs. Centrally, risk oversight is managed at the corporate level through oversight, policies and reporting. The principal types of inherent risk include regulatory, credit, liquidity, market, operational, reputation and strategic risks. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for disclosures related to each of these risks under the section titled “Risk Management.”

Market Risk Management

The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in BB&T’s lines of business. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.

Interest Rate Market Risk (Other than Trading)

BB&T actively manages market risk associated with asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.

The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable net interest margins and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. Among other things, this process gives consideration to prepayment trends related to securities, loans and leases and certain deposits that have no stated maturity. Prepayment assumptions are developed using market data for residential mortgage-related loans and securities, and internal historical prepayment experience for client deposits with no stated maturity and loans that are not residential mortgage related. These assumptions are subject to monthly back-testing, and are adjusted as deemed necessary to reflect changes in interest rates relative to the reference rate of the underlying assets or liabilities. On a monthly basis, BB&T evaluates the accuracy of its interest rate forecast simulation model, which includes an evaluation of its prepayment assumptions, to ensure that all significant assumptions inherent in the model appropriately reflect changes in the interest rate environment and related trends in prepayment activity. It is the responsibility of the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impact on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates is within acceptable standards.

BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risk related to securities, commercial loans, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had derivative

73

financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $69.1 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was a loss of $78 million at March 31, 2012. See Note 15 “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures.

The majority of BB&T’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the Federal Reserve Board to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.

Management uses Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis (“Simulation”) to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation model projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and commitments to enter into those transactions. Furthermore, the Simulation considers the impact of expected customer behavior. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios of projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to Simulation analysis, BB&T uses Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis to focus on changes in capital given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation model. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the entire portfolio of BB&T’s assets, liabilities, and derivatives instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of BB&T’s equity.

The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.

74

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in interest sensitive income reflects the level of sensitivity that interest sensitive income has in relation to changing interest rates.

Table 14

Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis

	March 31,						March 31,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
2.00%		5.25	%		5.25	%		4.28	%		3.68	%
1.00		4.25			4.25			2.71			1.83
No Change		3.25			3.25			—			—
(0.25)		3.00			3.00			(0.86	)		(0.26	)

The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee has established parameters measuring interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months for a linear change of 100 basis points over four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period, and a maximum negative impact of 4% for a linear change of 200 basis points over eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period. In the event that the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. Management currently only modeled a negative 25 basis point decline because larger declines would have resulted in a Federal funds rate of less than zero.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, and deposit sensitivity. The resulting change in the economic value of equity reflects the level of sensitivity that EVE has in relation to changing interest rates.

Market Risk from Trading Activities

BB&T also manages market risk from trading activities which consists of acting as a financial intermediary to provide its customers access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets. Trading market risk is managed through the use of statistical and non-statistical risk measures and limits, with overall established limits. BB&T utilizes a historical value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading lines of business. This methodology uses one year of historical data to estimate economic outcomes for a one-day time horizon at a 99% confidence level.

75

The average VaR for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $310 thousand. Maximum daily VaR was approximately $670 thousand, and the low daily VaR was approximately $90 thousand during this same period, respectively.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Related Party Transactions

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for discussion with respect to BB&T’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about its fixed and determinable contractual obligations. Additional disclosures about BB&T’s contractual obligations, commitments and derivative financial instruments are included in Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” and Note 14 “Fair Value Disclosures” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Liquidity

Liquidity represents BB&T’s continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale, many other factors affect BB&T’s ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity in national money markets, growing core deposits, the repayment of loans and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale. The ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for BB&T and Branch Bank. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for disclosures related to BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit ratings and liquidity.

Capital Adequacy and Resources

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T’s comprehensive risk profile, preserve a sufficient capital base from which to support future growth, provide a competitive return to shareholders, comply with regulatory standards and achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries Refer to the section titled “Capital” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional information with regard to BB&T’s capital requirements.

Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on a consolidated basis. In this regard, management’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that will result in BB&T being classified as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes and to maintain sufficient capital relative to the Corporation’s level of risk. Secondarily, it is management’s intent to maintain consolidated capital levels that result in regulatory risk-based capital ratios that are generally comparable with BB&T’s peers of similar size, complexity and risk profile. Management particularly monitors and intends to maintain the following minimum capital ratios:

Table 16

BB&T’s Internal Capital Guidelines

Tier 1 Capital Ratio	8.50	%
Total Capital Ratio	11.50
Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio	6.50
Tangible Capital Ratio	5.50
Tier 1 Common Equity Ratio	7.00

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Corporation temporarily falling below its minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management’s intent through capital planning to return to these targeted minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below these minimums are not considered an infringement of BB&T’s overall capital policy provided the Corporation and Branch Bank remain “well-capitalized.”

76

Management received no objection from the banking regulators with regards to its proposed capital actions for 2012, based on the regulator’s stress test results. Following the results, the Board of Directors approved a 25% increase in the second quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share. In addition, management has or will deploy additional capital in connection with the Crump acquisition and the pending BankAtlantic acquisition.

Management’s capital actions also include the retirement of $3.2 billion in trust preferred securities to be completed by the end of 2013. On April 2, 2012, management initiated the process to retire three issuances of trust preferred securities totaling $95 million.

BB&T’s capital ratios improved during the first quarter of 2012. The Tier 1 common equity ratio was 10.0% at March 31, 2012 compared to 9.7% at December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, management currently estimates the Tier 1 common ratio under the currently proposed Basel III standards to be 9.2% compared to 8.8% as of December 31, 2011.

BB&T’s regulatory and tangible capital ratios for the last five calendar quarters are set forth in Table 17. In September 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed new regulatory capital requirements (commonly referred to as “Basel III”) in an effort to strengthen the financial services industry. It is anticipated that U.S. regulators will adopt new regulatory capital requirements similar to those defined in Basel III. The primary impacts to BB&T of the proposed measure are the deduction of net pension assets from Tier 1 capital and the elimination of the other comprehensive income adjustments for available-for-sale securities and pension and postretirement obligations. In addition, the proposed requirements result in adjustments to Tier 1 common equity and risk-weighted assets for mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets and unconsolidated investments. Refer to Table 18 for a reconciliation of how BB&T calculates the Tier 1 common equity ratio under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines.

(1) Current quarter regulatory capital information is preliminary.

(2) Tangible common equity and Tier 1 common equity ratios are non-GAAP measures. BB&T uses the Tier 1 common equity definition used in the SCAP assessment to calculate these ratios. BB&T’s management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and believes that investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies.

(3) Risk-weighted assets are determined based on regulatory capital requirements. Under the regulatory framework for determining risk-weighted assets each asset class is assigned a risk-weighting of 0%, 20%, 50% or 100% based on the underlying risk of the specific asset class. In addition, off-balance sheet exposures are first converted to a balance sheet equivalent amount and subsequently assigned to one of the four risk-weightings.

Share Repurchase Activity

BB&T has periodically repurchased shares of its own common stock. In accordance with North Carolina law, repurchased shares cannot be held as treasury stock, but revert to the status of authorized and unissued shares upon repurchase.

On June 27, 2006, BB&T’s Board of Directors granted authority under a plan (the “2006 Plan”) for the repurchase of up to 50 million shares of BB&T’s common stock as needed for general corporate purposes. The 2006 Plan also authorizes the repurchase of the remaining shares from the previous authorization. The 2006 Plan remains in effect until all the authorized shares are repurchased unless modified by the Board of Directors. No shares were repurchased in connection with the 2006 Plan during 2012.

BB&T CORPORATION

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

BB&T CORPORATION

Articles of Incorporation

(As Restated effective February 25, 2009)

ARTICLE I

The name of the Corporation is BB&T Corporation.

ARTICLE II

The period of duration of the Corporation shall be unlimited and perpetual.

ARTICLE III

ARTICLE IV

The Corporation shall have the authority to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $5.00 each, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 each. The designations of each class are as follows:

(a) The first class is Common Stock in the amount of 1,000,000,000 shares, par value $5.00 each share.

(b) The second class is Preferred Stock in the amount of 5,000,000 shares, par value $5.00 each share. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and authority is expressly vested in the Board of Directors without action of shareholders to divide the Preferred Stock into series, to provide for the issuance thereof, and to fix and determine the relative rights, voting powers, preferences, limitations_, and designations of the shares of any series so established. Authority is expressly vested in the Board of Directors, without limitation, to determine: (1) The number of shares to constitute such series and the distinctive designation thereof; (2) The dividend rate, conditions and time of accrual and payment thereof, and the dividend preferences, if any, between the classes of stock and between the series of Preferred Stock; (3) Whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, the date from which dividends on each such series shall accumulate; (4) Whether, and to what extent, the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock shall enjoy voting rights, if any, in addition to those prescribed by law; (5) Whether, and upon what terms, Preferred Stock will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class or any other series of the same class; and (6) Whether, and upon what terms, the Preferred Stock, will be redeemable, and the preference, if any, to which the Preferred Stock will be entitled in the event of voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

6 ³/4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A. The Corporation has designated 770,000 shares of the authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share, as 6 ³/4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the respect in which the shares of such series may vary from shares of any and all other series of Preferred Stock, are as follows:

- 2 -

(1) Stated Value. The Series A Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $100.00 per share.

(2) Dividends and Distributions.

(a) The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends, accruing from the date of issuance, at the annual rate of $6.75 per share, and no more, payable quarterly on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15 of each year (each quarterly period ending on any such date being hereinafter referred to as a “dividend period”), commencing May 15, 1992. The initial dividend for the period commencing February 11, 1992 to, but not including, May 15, 1992, will be $1.7625 per share and will be payable on May 15, 1992. The date of initial issuance of share of Series A Preferred Stock is hereinafter referred to as the “Issue Date.” Dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock (i) for any period less than a full dividend period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and (ii) for each full dividend period, shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four. Each such dividend will be payable to holders of record as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.

(b) Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be cumulative from the date of issue whether or not there shall be funds legally available for payment thereof. Accumulations of dividends on Series A Preferred Stock shall not bear interest. The Corporation shall not (i) declare or pay or set apart for payment any dividends or distributions on any stock ranking as to dividend junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than dividends paid in shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for such junior stock) or (ii) make any purchase or redemption of, or any sinking fund payment for the purchase of, any stock ranking as to dividends on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (except by conversion into or exchange for capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) unless all dividends payable on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock for all past dividend periods shall have been paid in full or declared and a sufficient sum set apart for payment thereof; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any Preferred Stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application all dividends payable on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or declared and a sufficient sum set apart for payment thereof.

(c) All dividends declared on shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any other class of Preferred Stock or series thereof ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata, so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other Preferred Stock for the same dividend period, or for the dividend period of the Series A Preferred Stock ending within the dividend period of such other stock, shall, in all cases, bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and such other stock bear to each other.

- 3 -

(3) Liquidation Preferences.

(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders an amount equal to $100.00 per share plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to but excluding the date of such distribution, and no more, before any distribution shall be made to the holders of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to liquidation payments, but the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive such distribution until the liquidation preference of any other shares of the Corporation’s capital stock ranking senior to the Series A preferred Stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sufficient sum set aside for payment thereof) in full.

(b) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and any other shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of such other Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

(c) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation, the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or part of the property or business of the Corporation shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this Paragraph 3.

(4) Redemption.

(a) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem any or all shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time on or after March 1, 1996, at the redemption prices set forth below, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Price”):

- 4 -

(b) If less than all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata as nearly as practicable or by lot, or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable (with adjustments to avoid fractional shares).

(c) Notice of any redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their respective addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Notice so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not actually received. Such notice shall state: (i) the date fixed for redemption; (ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) that the holder has the right to convert such shares into Common Stock until the close of business on the redemption date; (iv) the then-effective conversion price and the place where certificates for such shares may be surrendered for conversion; (v) if less than all shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder; (vi) the place where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (vii) that after such date fixed for redemption the shares to be redeemed shall not accrue dividends.

(d) At the option of the Corporation, if notice of redemption is mailed as aforesaid, and if prior to the date fixed for redemption funds sufficient to pay in full the Redemption Price are deposited in trust, for the account of the holders of the shares to be redeemed, with a bank or trust company named in such notice doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York or the State of North Carolina and having capital surplus and undivided profits of at least $50 million (which bank or trust company also may be the transfer agent and/or paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock) notwithstanding the fact that any certificate(s) for shares called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, on and after such date of deposit the shares represented thereby so called for redemption shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and all rights of the holders of such shares as shareholders of the Corporation shall cease, except the right of the holders thereof to convert such shares in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 5 at any time prior to the close of business on the redemption date and the right of the holders thereof to receive out of the funds so deposited in trust the Redemption Price, without interest, upon such surrender of the certificate(s) representing such shares. Any funds so deposited with such bank or trust company in respect of shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted before the close of business on the redemption date shall be returned to the Corporation upon such conversion. Any funds so deposited with such bank or trust company which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of shares called for redemption at the end of two years after the redemption date shall be repaid to the Corporation, on demand, and thereafter the holder of any such shares shall look only to the Corporation for the payment, without interest, of the Redemption Price.

(e) Any provisions of this Paragraph 4 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any quarterly dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be in arrears and until all such dividends in arrears shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Corporation shall not redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock unless all outstanding

- 5 -

shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except in accordance with a purchase offer made by the Corporation on the same terms to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock.

(5) Conversion Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at their option, to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time on the basis of their stated value into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $16.93 per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided. No payment or adjustment shall be made on account of any accrued and unpaid dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion prior to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such dividends or on account of any dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion subsequent to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such dividends. If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be called for redemption, the right to convert the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the date fixed for redemption unless default is made in the payment of the Redemption Price. In the event of default in the payment of the Redemption Price, the right to convert the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the date that such default is cured.

(b) To convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the holder thereof shall surrender the certificate therefor, duly endorsed if the Corporation shall so require, or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Corporation, at the office of the Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, or at such other office as may be designated by the Corporation, together with written notice that such holder irrevocably elects to convert such shares. Such notice shall also state the name and address in which such holder wishes the certificate for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion to be issued. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Certificate representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted and the notice of election to convert the same, the Corporation shall issue and deliver at said office a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided, to the person entitled to receive the same. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date such shares are surrendered for conversion and notice of election to convert the same is received by the Corporation in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the person entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed for all purposes to the record holder of such common stock as of such date.

(c) In the case of any share of Series A Preferred Stock that is converted after any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock and on or prior to the date on which such dividend is payable by the Corporation (the “Dividend Due Date”) the dividend due on such Dividend Due Date shall be payable on such Dividend Due Date

- 6 -

to the holder of record of such shares as of such preceding record date notwithstanding such conversion. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock next preceding any Dividend Due Date to the opening of business on such Dividend Due Date shall (except in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have been called for redemption on a redemption date within such period) be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to the Corporation of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such Dividend Due Date on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being surrendered for conversion. The dividend with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption on a redemption date during the period from the close of business on any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock next preceding any Dividend Due Date to the opening of business on such Dividend Due Date shall be payable on such Dividend Due Date to the holder of record of such shares of such dividend record date notwithstanding the conversion of such share of Series A Preferred Stock after such record date and prior to such Dividend Due Date, and the holder converting such share of Series A Preferred Stock need not include a payment of such dividend amount upon surrender of such share of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion. Except as provided in this paragraph, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any dividends accrued on shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on account of any dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion.

(d) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares so surrendered. If the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock results in a fractional share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay cash in lieu thereof in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price, as defined in subsection (vi) of Paragraph 5 (e) below, on the date on which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock were duly surrendered for conversion, or if such date is not a trading date, on the next succeeding trading date.

(e) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(i) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for such determination. For purposes of this subsection, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

- 7 -

(ii) In case the Corporation shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (vi) below) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this subsection (ii), the number of shares of Common Stock at anytime outstanding shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(iv) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in subsection (ii) above, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Corporation and any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (i) above, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (vi) below) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Transfer Agent) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

- 8 -

(v) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon consolidation or merger to which Paragraph 5 (g) below applies) shall be deemed to involve (A) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution” within the meaning of subsection (iv) above), and (B) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of subsection (iii) above).

(vi) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (ii) and (iv) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any day shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the ten consecutive trading days selected by the Board of Directors commencing not more than 20 trading days before and ending not later than the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be the reported last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principle national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market System or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading any national securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that purpose.

(vii) No adjustment in the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (vii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

(f) Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as herein provided (i) the Corporation shall forthwith make available at the office of the Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock a statement describing in reasonable detail the adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the method of calculation used; and (ii) the Corporation shall cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.

(g) In the case of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or

- 9 -

substantially as an entirety, or in case of any reclassification or change in outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock), there will be no adjustment of the Conversion Price but the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other property which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation or merger, sale or conveyance or reclassification or change had such share been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation or merger, sale or conveyance or reclassification or change. The adjustments described in this paragraph shall be subject to further adjustments as appropriate that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the relevant adjustments provided for in Paragraph 5 (e) and this paragraph 5 (g). If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) of an entity other than the successor or acquiring entity, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then the Corporation shall enter into an agreement with such other entity for the benefit of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock that shall contain such provisions to protect the interests of such holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provisions of this Paragraph 5 (g) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, exchanges, reclassifications or changes.

(h) The Corporation shall pay any taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in any name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted are registered, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares unless and until the person requesting such issuance shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of any such taxes, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid.

(i) The Corporation may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections (i) through (iv) of Paragraph 5 (e) above, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

(j) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(k) In the event that:

(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend or any other distribution of its Common stock, payable otherwise than in cash out of retained earnings; or

- 10 -

(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(iii) the Corporation shall purpose to effect any consolidation of the Corporation with or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or a sale of the assets of the Corporation substantially as an entirety which would result in an adjustment under Paragraph 5 (g);

the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined or (y) the date on which such consolidation, merger or sale is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such consolidation, merger or sale. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, consolidation, merger or sale.

(6) Voting Rights. Other than as required by applicable law, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers either general or special, except that:

(a) Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary to (i) authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of stock ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (ii) authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of stock (including any class or series of Preferred Stock) which ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up (“Parity Stock”) unless the Articles of Incorporation creating or authorizing such class or series provide that if in any case the stated dividends or amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up are not paid in full on the Series A Preferred Stock and all outstanding shares of Parity Stock, the shares of all Parity Stock shall share ratably in the payment of dividends, including accumulations (if any) in accordance with the sums which would be payable on all Parity Stock if all dividends in respect of all shares of Parity Stock were paid in full, and on any distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up ratably in accordance with the sums which would be payable in respect of all shares of Parity Stock if all sums payable were discharged in full, or (iii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation, or the creation and issuance of other series of Preferred

- 11 -

Stock including Series A Preferred Stock, or of any other capital stock of the Corporation, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.

(b) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to at least six full quarterly dividends, whether or not consecutive, on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class together with all other series of cumulative Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, to elect two directors of the Corporation at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of shareholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of shareholders. At elections for such directors, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held. Upon the vesting of such right of the holder of Series A Preferred Stock, the maximum authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be increased by two.

The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock” and the number of share constituting such series initially shall be 2,000,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

(2) Dividends and Distributions

(a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $5 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of February, May, August and November in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall on or at any time after December 17, 1996 (the “Rights Declaration Date”) (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine or consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(b) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (a) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, subject to the requirements of applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

- 13 -

(c) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less that the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

(3) Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(a) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time on or after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or by law, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one group on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

(c) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

(i) declare or pay dividends on, redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock;

(ii) declare or pay dividends on, redeem, or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that there may be declared and paid ratably dividends on the Series B junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; and provided further that the Corporation may at any time redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock;

(iii) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

(b) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation (for the account of such subsidiary) to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (a) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

(c) No dividend shall be declared and paid, or set apart for payment on, any share of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock or any share of any other series of Preferred Stock or any share of any class of stock, or series thereof, ranking on a parity with this Series as to dividends, for any dividend period unless at the same time a like proportionate dividend for the same dividend period, ratably in proportion to the respective dividends applicable thereto, shall be declared and paid, or set apart for payment on, all shares of this Series and all shares of all other series of Preferred Stock and all shares of any class, or series thereof, ranking on a parity with this Series as to dividends, then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive dividends.

- 15 -

(5) Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (including Articles of Amendment duly adopted in accordance with the North Carolina Business Corporation Act), creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or as otherwise required by law.

(6) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) Series B Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph (c) below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii), the “Adjustment Number”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(b) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

(c) In the event the Corporation shall at any time on or after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

- 16 -

(d) Neither the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation, nor the merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange of any other corporation into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this paragraph 6.

(7) Statutory Share Exchange, Merger, Consolidation, etc.

In case the Corporation shall enter into any statutory share exchange, merger, consolidation, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time on or after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(8) No Redemption. The shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

(9) Ranking. The Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.

(10) Amendment. The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be further amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely, except in accordance with the provisions of Section 55-10-04 of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, or as otherwise permitted by law.

(11) Fractional Shares. Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share (which shall be integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock), which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to holders of record of Designated Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day.

Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and payable on Designated Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of the Articles of Incorporation).

(b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock on the applicable record date).

a stockholders’ rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any stockholders’ rights plan; (v) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; and (vi) the exchange or conversion of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock, in each case, solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common Stock. “Share Dilution Amount” means the increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and as measured from the date of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Original Issue Date) resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.

When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other. If the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide written notice to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including Common Stock and other Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.

Section 4. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of

- 24 -

Designated Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the date of payment (such amounts collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”).

(b) Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the holders of such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.

(c) Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Designated Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 5. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. Except as provided below, the Designated Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date. On or after the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

- 25 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided that (x) the Corporation (or any successor by Business Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Minimum Amount (plus the “Minimum Amount” as defined in the relevant articles of amendment for each other outstanding series of preferred stock of such successor that was originally issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Successor Preferred Stock”) in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor), and (y) the aggregate redemption price of the Designated Preferred Stock (and any Successor Preferred Stock) redeemed pursuant to this paragraph may not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Corporation (or any successor by Business Combination) from such Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor).

The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.

(b) No Sinking Fund. The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Designated Preferred Stock.

(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Corporation or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such time and in any

- 26 -

manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Corporation, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

(f) Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred Stock).

Section 6. Conversion. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shares shall have no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.

Section 7. Voting Rights.

(a) General. The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

(b) Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly

- 27 -

Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors (hereinafter the “Preferred Directors” and each a “Preferred Director”) to fill such newly created directorships at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Corporation to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Corporation may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

(c) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any shares of Designated Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 ²/3% of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

(i) Authorization of Senior Stock. Any amendment or alteration of the Articles of Incorporation for the Designated Preferred Stock or the Charter to authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to Designated Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(ii) Amendment of Designated Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation for the Designated Preferred

- 28 -

Stock or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is required by Section 7(c)(iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Designated Preferred Stock; or

(iii) Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Designated Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Designated Preferred Stock remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of Designated Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Corporation to other persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to Designated Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock.

(d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

(e) Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Charter, the Bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading facility on which Designated Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

- 29 -

Section 8. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation and the transfer agent for Designated Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Designated Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 9. Notices. All notices or communications in respect of Designated Preferred Stock shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Articles of Incorporation, in the Charter or Bylaws or by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Corporation or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock in any manner permitted by such facility.

Section 10. No Preemptive Rights. No share of Designated Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Corporation, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.

Section 11. Replacement Certificates. The Corporation shall replace any mutilated certificate at the holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Corporation. The Corporation shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the holder’s expense upon delivery to the Corporation of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be reasonably required by the Corporation.

Section 12. Other Rights. The shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Charter or as provided by applicable law.

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

OF

BB&T CORPORATION

BB&T Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina (the “Corporation”), for the purpose of amending its articles of incorporation to fix the preferences, limitations and relative rights of a new series of its Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Sections 55-6-02 and 55-10-06 of the North Carolina Business Corporations Act, hereby submits these Articles of Amendment:

1. The name of the corporation is: BB&T CORPORATION.

2. The following text will be added to Article IV of the articles of incorporation (as restated effective February 27, 2009 and amended effective May 10, 2010) of the Corporation to set forth the terms of the Corporation’s Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, by adding a new section (e) to such Article IV:

(e) Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.

Section 1. Designation. The designation of the series of preferred stock shall be Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Series D Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series D Preferred Stock. Series D Preferred Stock will rank equally with Parity Stock, if any, and will rank senior to Junior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

Section 2. Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be 23,000. Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the total number of authorized shares of preferred stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of articles pursuant to the provisions of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

Section 3. Definitions. As used herein with respect to Series D Preferred Stock:

“Appropriate Federal Banking Agency” means the “appropriate Federal banking agency” with respect to the Corporation as defined in Section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1813(q)), or any successor provision.

-32-

“Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on which banking institutions are not authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in New York, New York or Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

“Depositary Company” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6(d) hereof.

“Dividend Payment Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 4(a) hereof.

“Dividend Period” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 4(a) hereof.

“DTC” means The Depository Trust Company, together with its successors and assigns.

“Junior Stock” means the Corporation’s common stock and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation hereafter authorized over which Series D Preferred Stock has preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

“Parity Stock” means any other class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks on parity with Series D Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

“Preferred Director” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7(c)(i) hereof.

“Redemption Price” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.

“Regulatory Capital Treatment Event” means the Corporation’s determination, in good faith, that, as a result of (i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the initial issuance of any share of Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) any proposed change in those laws or regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of Series D Preferred Stock, or (iii) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws or regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of Series D Preferred Stock, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Corporation will not be entitled to treat the full liquidation value of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding as “tier 1 capital” (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, as then in effect and applicable, for as long as any share of Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding.

“Series D Preferred Stock” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1 hereof.

-33-

Section 4. Dividends.

(a) Rate. Holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets legally available therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on each February 1, May 1, August 1 or November 1; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) (each such day on which dividends are payable a “Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including the date of issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock or any Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period.” Dividends on each share of Series D Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share at a rate per annum equal to 5.85%. The record date for payment of dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall be the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month during which the Dividend Payment Date falls. The amount of dividends payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause the Corporation to fail to comply with laws and regulations applicable thereto, including applicable capital adequacy guidelines.

(b) Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not cumulate and shall not accrue or be payable for such Dividend Period, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay, and the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have no right to receive, dividends for such Dividend Period after the Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period or interest with respect to such dividends, whether or not dividends are declared for any subsequent Dividend Period with respect to Series D Preferred Stock, Parity Stock, Junior Stock or any other class or series of authorized preferred stock of the Corporation.

(c) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Series D Preferred Stock remains outstanding, (i) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (ii) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock, and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such securities by the Corporation and (iii) no shares of Parity Stock shall be repurchased,

-34-

redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Series D Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock, in each case unless full dividends on all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock for the then-current Dividend Period have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside. When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall be declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the then-current Dividend Period per share on Series D Preferred Stock, and accrued dividends, including any accumulations, on Parity Stock, bear to each other. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment on shares of Series D Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. If the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide, or cause to be provided, written notice to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock prior to such date. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available therefor, and the shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Parity Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

Section 5. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Corporation may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Stock and subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of securities ranking senior to or on parity with Series D Preferred Stock upon liquidation and the rights of the Corporation’s depositors and other creditors, to receive in full a liquidating distribution in the amount of the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, to the date of liquidation. The holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payments in the event of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation other than what is expressly provided for in this Section 5.

(b) Partial Payment. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends to all holders of Series D Preferred Stock and all holders of any Parity Stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and to the holders of all Parity Stock shall be pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidation preferences plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends of Series D Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock.

-35-

(c) Residual Distributions. If the liquidation preference plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends has been paid in full to all holders of Series D Preferred Stock and all holders of any Parity Stock, the holders of Junior Stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 5, the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, nor shall the merger, consolidation or any other business combination transaction of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or person or the merger, consolidation or any other business combination transaction of any other corporation or person into or with the Corporation be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

Section 6. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. The Corporation, at the option of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, on the Dividend Payment Date on May 1, 2017 or on any Dividend Payment Date thereafter, upon notice given as provided in Section 6(b) below. The redemption price for shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be $25,000 per share plus dividends that have been declared but not paid (the “Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may provide notice of its intent to redeem, as provided in Subsection (b) below, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time outstanding at the Redemption Price applicable on such date of redemption.

(b) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be either (1) mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of such shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the stock register of the Corporation or (2) transmitted by such other method approved by the Depositary Company, in its reasonable discretion, to the holders of record of such shares to be redeemed. Such mailing or transmittal shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series D Preferred Stock is held in book-entry form through DTC, the Corporation may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC. Any notice mailed or transmitted as provided in this Section 6(b) shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail or other transmission, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing or transmittal thereof, to any holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the

-36-

proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed by such holder; (iii) the Redemption Price; (iv) the place or places where the certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

(c) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata from the holders of record of Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holders or by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.

(d) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor, or deposited by the Corporation with a bank or trust company selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors (the “Depositary Company”) in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date all shares so called for redemption shall cease to be outstanding, all dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue after such redemption date, and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company at any time after the redemption date from the funds so deposited, without interest. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Depositary Company any interest accrued on such funds, and the holders of any shares called for redemption shall have no claim to any such interest. Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, the holders of record of the shares so called for redemption shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as stated above for the redemption of such shares and so repaid to the Corporation, but shall in no event be entitled to any interest.

-37-

Section 7. Voting Rights. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock will have no voting rights and will not be entitled to elect any directors, except as expressly provided by law and except that:

(a) Supermajority Voting Rights—Amendments. Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, shall be required to authorize any amendment of the articles of incorporation or of any articles amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any articles of amendment or any similar document relating to any series of preferred stock) which will materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of the Series D Preferred Stock, taken as a whole; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued Series D Preferred Stock or authorized preferred stock of the Corporation or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of other series of preferred stock ranking equally with and/or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of the Series D Preferred Stock.

(b) Supermajority Voting Rights—Priority. Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and all other Parity Stock, at the time outstanding, voting as a single class without regard to series, shall be required to issue, authorize or increase the authorized amount of, or to issue or authorize any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase, any additional class or series of stock ranking prior to the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and all other Parity Stock as to dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(c) Special Voting Right.

(i) Voting Right. If and whenever dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, and upon which voting rights equivalent to those granted by this Section 7(c) have been conferred and are exercisable, have not been paid in an aggregate amount equal, as to any class or series, to at least six quarterly Dividend Periods (whether consecutive or not), the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be increased by two, and the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock (together with holders of any other class of the Corporation’s authorized preferred stock having equivalent voting rights, whether or not the holders of such preferred stock would be entitled to vote for the election of directors if such default in dividends did not exist), shall have the right, voting separately as a single class without regard to series, to the exclusion of the holders of common stock, to elect two directors of the Corporation to fill such newly

-38-

created directorships (and to fill any vacancies in the terms of such directorships), provided that the election of such directors must not cause the Corporation to violate the corporate governance requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (or other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed) that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors and further provided that the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall at no time include more than two such directors. Each such director elected by the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends is a “Preferred Director”.

(ii) Election. The election of the Preferred Directors will take place at any annual meeting of shareholders or any special meeting of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and any other class or series of the Corporation’s stock that ranks on parity with Series D Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and for which dividends have not been paid, called as provided herein. At any time after the special voting power has vested pursuant to Section 7(c)(i) above, the secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written request of any holder of Series D Preferred Stock (addressed to the secretary at the Corporation’s principal office) must (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of shareholders), call a special meeting of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, and any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with Series D Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and for which dividends have not been paid, for the election of the two directors to be elected by them as provided in Section 7(c)(iii) below. The Preferred Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.

(iii) Notice for Special Meeting. Notice for a special meeting will be given in a similar manner to that provided in the Corporation’s by-laws for a special meeting of the shareholders. If the secretary of the Corporation does not call a special meeting within 20 days after receipt of any such request, then any holder of Series D Preferred Stock may (at the Corporation’s expense) call such meeting, upon notice as provided in this Section 7(c)(iii), and for that purpose will have access to the stock register of the Corporation. The Preferred Directors elected at any such special meeting will hold office until the next annual meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders unless they have been previously terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7(c)(iv). In case any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director occurs (other than prior to the initial election of the Preferred Directors), the vacancy may be filled by the written consent of the Preferred Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by the vote of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock (together with holders of any other class of the Corporation’s authorized preferred stock having equivalent voting rights, whether or not the holders of such preferred stock would be entitled to vote for the election of directors if such default in dividends did not exist) to serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders.

-39-

(iv) Termination; Removal. Whenever full dividends have been paid regularly on the Series D Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with Series D Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, if any, for at least four consecutive Dividend Periods, then the right of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock to elect such additional two directors will cease (but subject always to the same provisions for the vesting of the special voting rights in the case of any similar non-payment of dividends in respect of future Dividend Periods). The terms of office of the Preferred Directors will immediately terminate and the number of directors constituting the Corporation’s board of directors will be reduced accordingly. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (together with holders of any other class of the Corporation’s authorized preferred stock having equivalent voting rights, whether or not the holders of such preferred stock would be entitled to vote for the election of directors if such default in dividends did not exist) when they have the voting rights described in this Section 7(c).

Section 8. Conversion. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such Series D Preferred Stock into shares of any other class of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 9. Rank. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the articles of incorporation or these Articles of Amendment to the contrary, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, without the vote of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, may authorize and issue additional shares of Junior Stock, Parity Stock or, subject to the voting rights granted in Section 7(b), any class of securities ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

Section 10. Repurchase. Subject to the limitations imposed herein, the Corporation may purchase and sell Series D Preferred Stock from time to time to such extent, in such manner, and upon such terms as the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not use any of its funds for any such purchase when there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Corporation is, or by such purchase would be, rendered insolvent.

Section 11. Unissued or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock not issued or which have been issued and converted, redeemed or otherwise purchased or acquired by the Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock without designation as to series.

Section 12. No Sinking Fund. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock are not subject to the operation of a sinking fund.

-40-

3. The amendment to the articles of incorporation contained herein was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on April 24, 2012 and the Executive and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on April 26, 2012.

4. The amendment to the articles of incorporation contained herein does not require shareholder approval pursuant to Section 55-6-02 of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act because it creates a new series of shares of a class that has no outstanding shares and does not affect a series of a class of shares in one or more of the ways described in Section 55-10-04 of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act.

Exhibit 10.1

BB&T CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement

(Employee)

Grant Date:	, 20
Date Vesting Begins:	, 20
Expiration date:	, 20

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated effective as of                     , 20     (the “Grant Date”), between BB&T CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation (“BB&T”) for itself and its Affiliates, and the Employee (the “Participant”) specified in the above Notice of Grant and Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”), is made pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the BB&T Corporation Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Plan”).

BB&T desires to carry out the purposes of the Plan by affording the Participant an opportunity to purchase shares of BB&T’s common stock, $5.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as hereinafter provided.

In consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises set forth below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Notice of Grant and Plan. The Notice of Grant is part of this Agreement and incorporated herein. The rights and duties of BB&T and the Participant under this Agreement shall in all respects be subject to and governed by the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan.

2. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Plan, effective as of the Grant Date, BB&T grants to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to the terms and conditions herein, the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase from BB&T all or any part of an aggregate of the number of shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock specified in the Notice of Grant at a purchase price (the “Option Price”) of $         per Share, such Option Price being the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. This Option is designated as a Nonqualified Option and, as such, is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Such Option will be vested and exercisable as hereinafter provided.

3. Terms and Conditions. The Option is subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Expiration Date. Unless the Option terminates earlier pursuant to the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, the Option shall expire on                     , 20         (the “Expiration Date”) (such term commencing with the Grant Date and ending on the Expiration Date being referred to as the “Option Period”).

(b) Exercise of Option. Except as provided in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 and subject to the authority of the Administrator to accelerate the exercisability of this Option, this Option shall become vested and exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares subject to the Option on the first year anniversary of the Grant Date and with respect to an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares subject to the Option on each annual anniversary of the Grant Date over the following three years, so that the Option shall be fully vested and fully exercisable on the fourth-year anniversary of the Grant Date. To the extent the Option has become vested and exercisable in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall continue to be vested and exercisable until the earlier of the termination of the Participant’s rights hereunder pursuant to Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, or until the Expiration Date. The Option may be exercised with respect to any number of whole Shares less than the full number for which the Option could be exercised. A partial exercise of the Option shall not affect the Participant’s right to exercise the Option with respect to the remaining Shares, subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Option may not be exercised at any time unless the Participant shall have been in the continuous service as an Employee from the date hereof to the Exercise Date of the Option, subject to the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10.

(c) Method of Exercising and Payment for Shares. The Option shall be exercised by delivering a written or electronic notice (the “Notice of Exercise”) to the attention of BB&T or its agent. The Exercise Date shall be the date on which BB&T or its agent receives a fully completed Notice of Exercise; provided, however, that with respect to the exercise of an Option in which Shares relating to such Option are sold in the market, the Exercise Date is the date that the Shares relating to the Option are so sold and provided further that in all other exercises where the Notice of Exercise is received after the market closes, the Exercise Date is the next trading day of the Common Stock. Payment of the Option Price may be made (i) in cash or by cash equivalent, and, if permitted under applicable law, payment may also be made (ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant at the time of exercise for a period of at least six months (or such other time period deemed necessary by the Administrator); (iii) by delivery of the Notice of Exercise to BB&T or its agent and delivery to a broker of written or electronic notice of exercise and irrevocable instructions to promptly deliver to BB&T or its agent the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option Price; or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods. Shares delivered in payment of the Option Price shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, as determined in accordance with the Plan. Upon the exercise of an Option in whole or in part, payment of the Option Price in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, and satisfaction of such other conditions as may be established by the Administrator, BB&T shall promptly deliver to the Participant the Shares purchased.

In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 3 by any person other than the Participant, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option.

- 2 -

(d) Shareholder Rights. The Participant and the Participant’s legal representative, legatees or distributees shall not be deemed to be the holder of any Shares subject to the Option and shall not have any rights of a shareholder unless and until Shares have been issued and delivered to him, her or them under the Plan. The Option shall not provide dividend or dividend equivalent rights, and the Participant shall have no dividend rights, unless and until Shares have been issued to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option. The Shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant (or if the Participant is deceased, in the name of the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) and distributed to the Participant (or if the Participant is deceased, to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) as soon as practicable following receipt of Notice of Exercise, payment of the Option Price (except as may otherwise be determined by BB&T or its agent in the event of payment of the Option Price pursuant to Section 6.07(c) of the Plan), and payment of applicable taxes.

(e) Nontransferability of Option. The Option shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than by will or the laws of intestate succession, except as may be permitted by the Administrator in its sole discretion (and in a manner consistent with the registration provisions of the Securities Act). Except as may be permitted by the preceding sentence, (i) during the lifetime of the Participant, the Option may be exercised only by the Participant; and (ii) no right or interest of a Participant in the Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant. The designation of a beneficiary in accordance with the Plan shall not constitute a transfer.

4. Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 (and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Plan), in the event that the employment of the Participant with BB&T or an Affiliate terminates for any reason, other than the Participant’s termination of employment due to involuntary termination without Just Cause, Retirement, death or Disability, the Participant may exercise the Option only with respect to those Shares of Common Stock as to which the Option has become vested and exercisable pursuant to Section 3(b) as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment (the “Termination Date”). The Participant may exercise the Option with respect to such Shares no more than thirty (30) days after the date of the Participant’s Termination Date (but in any event prior to the Expiration Date), and the Option shall terminate at the end of such thirty- (30-) day period.

5. Involuntary Termination Without Just Cause. In the event that the Participant’s employment with BB&T or an Affiliate is involuntarily terminated by BB&T without Just Cause, the Option shall become fully vested and fully exercisable as of the Participant’s Termination Date without regard to the installment exercise limitations set forth in Section 3(b). For purposes of this Agreement, the involuntary termination of the Participant by BB&T shall be without Just Cause unless the termination is on account of the Participant’s (a) dishonesty, theft or embezzlement; (b) refusal or failure to perform the Participant’s assigned duties for BB&T or its Affiliates in a satisfactory manner; or (c) engaging in any conduct that could be materially damaging to BB&T or its Affiliates without a reasonable good faith belief that such conduct was in the best interest of BB&T or any of its Affiliates. The determination of Just Cause shall be made by the Administrator or its designee, and its determination shall be final and conclusive. The Participant may exercise the Option following an involuntary termination without Just Cause until the Expiration Date.

- 3 -

6. Exercise After Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. In the event that the Participant remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the Participant’s termination of employment due to Retirement, the Option shall become fully vested and fully exercisable as of the date of the Participant’s Retirement without regard to the installment exercise limitations set forth in Section 3(b) if, and only if, the Participant has completed at least six (6) calendar months of continuous employment after the Grant Date (beginning with the first day of the calendar month following the Grant Date and ending on the last working day of the sixth (6^th) calendar month). The Participant may exercise the Option following the Participant’s termination of employment due to Retirement until the Expiration Date.

7. Exercise in the Event of Death. In the event that the Participant remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the Participant’s death, the Option shall become fully vested and fully exercisable as of the date of death without regard to the installment exercise limitations set forth in Section 3(b). The Option shall be exercisable by such person or persons who are designated as the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, or, if no such valid beneficiary designation exists, then by the Participant’s estate or by such person or persons as shall have acquired the right to exercise the Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The person or persons entitled to exercise the Option following the Participant’s death may exercise the Option until the Expiration Date.

8. Exercise in the Event of Disability. In the event that the Participant remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the date of the Participant’s termination of employment on account of Disability (as determined in accordance with the Plan), the Option shall become fully vested and fully exercisable as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment on account of Disability without regard to the installment exercise limitations set forth in Section 3(b). The Participant may exercise the Option following such termination of employment until the Expiration Date.

9. Fractional Share. A fractional Share shall not be issuable hereunder, and when any provision hereof may entitle the Participant to a fractional Share, such fraction shall (unless the Administrator determines otherwise) be disregarded.

10. Change of Corporate Control.

(a) Notwithstanding Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and in the event that there is “Change of Control” as defined in this Section 10, of BB&T subsequent to the date hereof, the Option shall (subject to the terms of Section 10(c) herein) become fully vested and fully exercisable as of the effective date of such event without regard to the installment exercise limitations set forth in Section 3(b).

(b) For purposes of this Section 10, a “Change of Control” will be deemed to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date any person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), together with its affiliates, excluding employee benefit plans of BB&T and its Affiliates, is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities of BB&T representing thirty percent (30%) or

- 4 -

more of the combined voting power of BB&T’s then outstanding securities; or (ii) the date when, as a result of a tender offer or exchange offer for the purchase of securities of BB&T (other than such an offer by BB&T for its own securities), or as a result of a proxy contest, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, or as a result of any combination of the foregoing, individuals who at the beginning of any consecutive twelve- (12-) month period during the Option Period constituted BB&T’s Board, plus new directors whose election or nomination for election by BB&T’s shareholders is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still in office who were directors at the beginning of such twelve- (12-) month period (collectively, the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason during such twelve- (12-) month period to constitute at least two-thirds of the members of such board of directors; (iii) the date the shareholders of BB&T approve an agreement for the sale or disposition by BB&T of all or substantially all of BB&T’s assets within the meaning of Section 409A; or (iv) the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of BB&T that, together with stock held by such person or group constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of BB&T within the meaning of Section 409A.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 10(a) and Section 10(b) above, the term “Change of Control” shall not include any event that is a “Merger of Equals.” For purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, the term “Merger of Equals” means any event that would otherwise qualify as a Change of Control if the event (including, if applicable, the terms and conditions of the related agreements, exhibits, annexes, and similar documents) satisfies all of the following conditions as of the date of such event: (i) the Board of BB&T or, if applicable, a majority of the Continuing Directors has, prior to the change in control event, approved the event; (ii) at least fifty percent (50%) of the common stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after consummation of the event, together with at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of all voting securities of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after the event shall be owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the owners, directly or indirectly, of the common stock and voting securities of BB&T immediately before the consummation of such event in substantially the same proportions as their respective direct or indirect ownership immediately before such event of the common stock and voting securities of BB&T, respectively; (iii) at least fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the surviving corporation immediately after the event shall be composed of directors who were Directors or Continuing Directors immediately before the event; and (iv) the person who was the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of BB&T immediately before the event shall be the CEO of the surviving corporation immediately after the event. If a transaction constitutes a Merger of Equals, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(b) above, the vesting of the Option will not be accelerated due to the Merger of Equals, but the Option shall instead continue to vest, if at all, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 herein.

11. No Right to Continued Employment; Forfeiture of Award. Neither the Plan, the grant of the Option nor any other action related to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of BB&T or an Affiliate or affect in any way with the right of BB&T or an Affiliate to terminate an individual’s employment or service at any time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or this Agreement, all rights of the Participant under the Plan with respect to the Option shall terminate upon termination of the employment of the Participant with BB&T or the Affiliate. The grant of the Option does not create any obligation

- 5 -

on the part of BB&T or an Affiliate to grant any further awards. So long as the Participant shall continue to be an Employee, the Option shall not be affected by any change in the duties or position of the Participant.

12. Superseding Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any statements, representations or agreements of BB&T with respect to the grant of the Option or any related rights, and the Participant hereby waives any rights or claims related to any such statements, representations or agreements. This Agreement does not supersede or amend any existing confidentiality agreement, nonsolicitation agreement, noncompetition agreement, employment agreement or any other similar agreement between the Participant and BB&T or an Affiliate, including, but not limited to, any restrictive covenants contained in such agreements.

13. Amendment and Termination; Waiver. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may be modified or amended only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. The waiver by BB&T of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement (without Participant consent) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or changes to applicable law (including but in no way limited to Section 409A and federal securities laws), and the Participant hereby consents to any such amendments to the Plan and this Agreement.

14. Withholding; Tax Matters; Fees.

(a) BB&T or an Affiliate shall report all income and withhold all required local, state, federal, foreign and other income tax obligations and any other amounts required to be withheld by any governmental authority or law from any amount payable in cash with respect to the Option. If any withholding is required, prior to the delivery or transfer of any Shares or any other benefit conferred under the Plan, BB&T or an Affiliate shall require the Participant or other recipient to pay to BB&T or an Affiliate in cash the amount of any tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by BB&T or an Affiliate to such authority for the account of such recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish procedures to permit a recipient to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income, employment and other tax obligations relating to the Option, by electing (the “election”) to have BB&T withhold Shares from the Shares to which the recipient is entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date as nearly equal as possible to the amount of such obligations being satisfied.

(Employee)

Grant Date:	, 20
Date Vested:	, 20

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made effective as of                     , 20     (the “Grant Date”), between BB&T CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation (“BB&T”) for itself and its Affiliates, and the Employee (the “Participant”) specified in the above Notice of Grant and Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”), is made pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the BB&T Corporation Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Plan”).

RECITALS:

BB&T desires to carry out the purposes of the Plan by affording the Participant an opportunity to acquire shares of BB&T Common Stock, $5.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as hereinafter provided.

In consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises set forth below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Notice of Grant and Plan. The Notice of Grant is part of this Agreement and incorporated herein. The rights and duties of BB&T and the Participant under this Agreement shall in all respects be subject to and governed by the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan.

2. Grant of Restricted Stock Unit. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, BB&T hereby grants the Participant a Restricted Stock Unit (the “Award”) for the number of whole shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) specified in the Notice of Grant. The “Restriction Period” is the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on such date or dates, and satisfaction of such conditions, as described in Section 3 and Section 4 herein. For the purposes herein, the Shares subject to the Award are units that will be reflected in a book account maintained by BB&T and that will be settled in whole shares of Common Stock, if and to the extent permitted pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. Prior to distribution of the Shares upon vesting of the Award, the Award shall represent an unsecured obligation of BB&T, payable (if at all) only from BB&T’s general assets.

3. Vesting of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement (including but not limited to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5 herein), the Award shall be deemed 100% vested and earned on the fourth- (4^th-) year anniversary of the Grant Date. The Administrator has sole authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award has vested and is payable and to interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

4. Termination of Employment; Forfeiture of Award; Effect of Change of Control.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Plan or Section 4(b) of this Agreement, in the event that the employment of the Participant with BB&T or an Affiliate terminates for any reason and the Award has not vested pursuant to Section 3, then the Award, to the extent not vested as of the Participant’s termination of employment date, shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination, and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the Award or the Shares underlying the Award. The Administrator (or its designee, to the extent permitted under the Plan) shall have sole discretion to determine if a Participant’s rights have terminated pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement, including but not limited to the authority to determine the basis for the Participant’s termination of employment. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, the termination of the Participant’s employment shall result in forfeiture of the Award and the underlying Shares to the extent the Award has not vested as of the Participant’s termination of employment date. As used in this Agreement, the phrase “termination of employment” means a Separation from Service.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 and Section 4(a), the following provisions shall apply if any of the following shall occur prior to the fourth-year anniversary of the Grant Date:

(i) Involuntary Termination Without Cause. In the event that the Participant’s employment with BB&T or an Affiliate is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than Cause (as defined herein), the Award shall become fully vested as of the Participant’s termination of employment date without regard to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 herein. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination shall be for “Cause” if the termination is on account of the Participant’s (a) dishonesty, theft or embezzlement; (b) refusal or failure to perform the Participant’s assigned duties for BB&T or an Affiliate in a satisfactory manner; or (c) engaging in any conduct that could be materially damaging to BB&T or its Affiliates without a reasonable good faith belief that such conduct was in the best interest of BB&T or any of its Affiliates. The determination of whether termination is for Cause shall be made by the Administrator (or its designee, to the extent permitted under the Plan), and its determination shall be final and conclusive.

(ii) Death. In the event that the Participant remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the

- 2 -

Participant’s death, the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of death without regard to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 herein.

(iii) Disability. In the event that the Participant remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the date of the Participant’s Disability (as determined by the Administrator or its designee in accordance with the Plan and, if applicable, Section 409A) the Award shall become fully vested as of the Participant’s Separation from Service on account of Disability without regard to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 herein.

(iv) Change of Control.

(A) In the event that there is “Change of Control,” as defined in Section 4(b)(iv)(B), of BB&T subsequent to the date hereof, the Award shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement and (subject to Section 4(b)(iv)(C) herein) become fully vested as of the effective date of such event without regard to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 herein.

(B) For purposes of this Section 4(b)(iv), a “Change of Control” will be deemed to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date any person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), together with its affiliates, excluding employee benefit plans of BB&T and its Affiliates, is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities of BB&T representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of BB&T’s then outstanding securities; or (ii) the date when, as a result of a tender offer or exchange offer for the purchase of securities of BB&T (other than such an offer by BB&T for its own securities), or as a result of a proxy contest, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, or as a result of any combination of the foregoing, individuals who at the beginning of any consecutive twelve- (12-) month period during the Restriction Period of the Award constituted BB&T’s Board, plus new directors whose election or nomination for election by BB&T’s shareholders is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still in office who were directors at the beginning of such twelve- (12-) month period (collectively, the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason during such twelve- (12-) month period to constitute at least

- 3 -

two-thirds of the members of such board of directors; (iii) the date the shareholders of BB&T approve an agreement for the sale or disposition by BB&T of all or substantially all of BB&T’s assets within the meaning of Section 409A; or (iv) the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of BB&T that, together with stock held by such person or group constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of BB&T within the meaning of Section 409A.

(C) Notwithstanding Section 4(b)(iv)(B) above, the term “Change of Control” shall not include any event that is a “Merger of Equals.” For purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, the term “Merger of Equals” means any event that would otherwise qualify as a Change of Control if the event (including, if applicable, the terms and conditions of the related agreements, exhibits, annexes, and similar documents) satisfies all of the following conditions as of the date of such event: (i) the Board of BB&T or, if applicable, a majority of the Continuing Directors has, prior to the change in control event, approved the event; (ii) at least fifty percent (50%) of the common stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after consummation of the event, together with at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of all voting securities of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after the event shall be owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the owners, directly or indirectly, of the common stock and voting securities of BB&T immediately before the consummation of such event in substantially the same proportions as their respective direct or indirect ownership immediately before such event of the common stock and voting securities of BB&T, respectively; (iii) at least fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the surviving corporation immediately after the event shall be composed of directors who were Directors or Continuing Directors immediately before the event; and (iv) the person who was the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of BB&T immediately before the event shall be the CEO of the surviving corporation immediately after the event. If a transaction constitutes a Merger of Equals, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b)(iv)(B) above, the vesting of the Award will not be accelerated due to the Merger of Equals, but the Award shall instead continue to vest, if at all, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 and Section 4 herein.

- 4 -

(v) Retirement. In the event that the Participant remains in the continuous employ of BB&T or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the Participant’s termination of employment due to Retirement, the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment due to Retirement without regard to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 herein if, and only if, the Participant has completed at least six (6) calendar months of continuous employment after the Grant Date (beginning with the first day of the calendar month following the Grant Date and ending on the last working day of the sixth (6^th) calendar month).

5. Settlement of Award and Distribution of Shares.

(a) Upon vesting, the Award shall be payable in whole shares of Common Stock. Fractional Shares shall not be issuable hereunder, and unless the Administrator determines otherwise, any such fractional Share shall be disregarded.

(b) Shares of Common Stock subject to the Award shall, upon vesting of the Award be issued and distributed to the Participant (or if the Participant is deceased, to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) in a lump sum within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the Restriction Period (provided that if such ninety- (90-) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) shall not have the right to designate the calendar year of payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is or may be a Specified Employee, a distribution due to Separation from Service may not be made until within the thirty- (30-) day period commencing with the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the month of Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant (with all such payments that otherwise would have been made during such six- (6-) month period to be made during the seventh (7th) month following Separation from Service), in each case except as may be otherwise permitted under Section 409A.

6. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan, the grant of the Award, nor any other action related to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of BB&T or an Affiliate or affect in any way with the right of BB&T or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or this Agreement or as determined by the Administrator, all rights of the Participant with respect to the Award shall terminate upon termination of the employment or service of the Participant with BB&T or an Affiliate. The grant of the Award does not create any obligation on the part of BB&T or an Affiliate to grant any further Awards. So long as the Participant shall continue to be an Employee of BB&T or an Affiliate, the Award shall not be affected by any change in the duties or position of the Participant.

7. Nontransferability of Award and Shares. The Award shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than by will or the laws of intestate succession. The designation of a beneficiary in accordance with Plan procedures does not constitute a transfer; provided, however, that unless disclaimer provisions are specifically included in a beneficiary designation form accepted by the Administrator, no beneficiary of the Participant

- 5 -

may disclaim the Award. The Participant shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Shares subject to the Award until the Restriction Period has expired and all conditions to vesting and distribution have been met.

8. Superseding Agreement: Binding Effect. This Agreement supersedes any statements, representations or agreements of BB&T with respect to the grant of the Award or any related rights, and the Participant hereby waives any rights or claims related to any such statements, representations or agreements. This Agreement does not supersede or amend any existing confidentiality agreement, nonsolicitation agreement, noncompetition agreement, employment agreement or any other similar agreement between the Participant and BB&T or an Affiliate, including, but not limited to, any restrictive covenants contained in such agreements.

9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law, and in accordance with applicable United States federal laws.

10. Amendment and Termination, Waiver. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended or terminated only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. The waiver by BB&T of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement (without Participant consent) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or changes to applicable law (including but in no way limited to Section 409A and federal securities laws), and the Participant hereby consents to any such amendments to the Plan and this Agreement.

11. Issuance of Shares; Rights as Shareholder. The Participant and the Participant’s legal representatives, legatees or distributees shall not be deemed to be the holder of any Shares subject to the Award and shall not have any voting rights, dividend rights or other rights of a shareholder unless and until such Shares have been issued to the Participant or them. No Shares subject to the Award shall be issued at the time of grant of the Award. Shares subject to the Award shall be issued in the name of the Participant (or if the Participant is deceased, in the name of the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) as soon as practicable after, and only to the extent that, the Award has vested and if such distribution is otherwise permitted under the terms of Section 5 herein. Neither dividends nor dividend equivalent rights shall be granted in connection with the Award, and the Award shall not be adjusted to reflect the distribution of any dividends on the Common Stock (except as may be otherwise provided under the Plan). No dividends on the Shares shall be payable prior to both (i) the vesting of the Award and (ii) the issuance and distribution of Shares to the Participant.

Participant may arrange to pay all applicable taxes in cash. In the event the Participant does not make such arrangements, such tax obligations shall be satisfied by the withholding of Shares to which the Participant is entitled.

(b) BB&T has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) related to the Award or issuance, transfer or disposition of Shares (or any other benefit) pursuant to the Award, and the Participant is in no manner relying on BB&T or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has been advised that the Participant should consult with the Participant’s own attorney, accountant, and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Agreement and the consequences thereof. The Participant also acknowledges that BB&T has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for the Participant.

(c) All third party fees relating to the release, delivery, or transfer of any Award or Shares shall be paid by the Participant or other recipient.

In consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises set forth below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Plan. The rights and duties of BB&T and the Participant under this Agreement shall in all respects be subject to and governed by the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in the Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan.

2. Performance Award. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, BB&T hereby grants the Participant a long-term incentive compensation opportunity relating to Performance Units (the “Award”) in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Performance Period. The performance period (“Performance Period”) for the Award shall be January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014.

(b) Partial Performance Period.

(i) (1) Death or Disability. If the Participant ceases to be a Participant in the Plan during the Performance Period due to the Participant’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, the Participant’s Award for the Performance Period shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement, based solely upon the attainment of at least the Threshold Level of Performance as provided in Section 2(c) herein, and prorated to reflect such

Participant’s actual number of full months of employment during the Performance Period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Change of Control, the Performance Period shall end as of the date of the Change of Control and payment shall be made (for Participants who are not Employees on the date of the Change of Control), within ninety (90) calendar days following a Change of Control as provided in Section 5(b) herein, at one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Target % with the Target Level of Achievement being deemed attained for the Performance Period as of the date of the Change of Control and prorated to reflect such Participant’s actual number of full months of participation during the Performance Period through the date of the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase “termination of employment” means a Separation from Service.

(2) Involuntary Termination Without Cause and Retirement. If the Participant ceases to be a Participant in the Plan during the Performance Period due to the Participant’s termination of employment (A) involuntarily by the Company and/or its Affiliates without Cause, or (B) due to Retirement, the Participant’s Award for the Performance Period shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement, based solely upon the attainment of Performance Measures as provided in Section 2(c) herein, and prorated to reflect such Participant’s actual number of full months of employment during the Performance Period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Change of Control, the Performance Period shall end as of the date of the Change of Control and payment shall be made (for Participants who are not Employees on the date of the Change of Control), within ninety (90) calendar days following a Change of Control as provided in Section 5(b) herein, at one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Target % with the Target Level of Achievement being deemed attained for the Performance Period as of the date of the Change of Control and prorated to reflect such Participant’s actual number of full months of participation during the Performance Period through the date of the Change of Control. A termination shall be for “Cause” if the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company and/or its Affiliates is on account of the Participant’s (x) dishonesty, theft or embezzlement; (y) refusal or failure to perform the Participant’s assigned duties for BB&T or an Affiliate in a satisfactory manner; or (z) engaging in any conduct that could be materially damaging to BB&T or its Affiliates without a reasonable good faith belief that such conduct was in the best interest of BB&T or any of its Affiliates. The determination of whether termination is for Cause shall be made by the Administrator (or its designee, to the extent permitted under the Plan), and its determination shall be final and conclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase “termination of employment” means a Separation from Service.

- 2 -

(ii) Change of Control. If, while the Participant is an Employee, there is a Change of Control during the Performance Period, the Participant’s Award for the Performance Period shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement at one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Target % with the Target Level of Achievement being deemed attained for the Performance Period as of the date of Change of Control and prorated to reflect such Participant’s actual number of full months of participation during the Performance Period through the date of the Change of Control.

(iii) (1) For purposes of Section 2(b)(ii) above, a “Change of Control” will be deemed to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates: (A) the date any person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), together with its affiliates, excluding employee benefit plans of BB&T and its Affiliates, is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities of BB&T representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of BB&T’s then outstanding securities; or (B) the date when, as a result of a tender offer or exchange offer for the purchase of securities of BB&T (other than such an offer by BB&T for its own securities), or as a result of a proxy contest, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, or as a result of any combination of the foregoing, individuals who at the beginning of any consecutive twelve- (12-) month period during the Performance Period of the Award constituted BB&T’s Board, plus new directors whose election or nomination for election by BB&T’s shareholders is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still in office who were directors at the beginning of such twelve- (12-) month period (collectively, the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason during such twelve- (12-) month period to constitute at least two-thirds of the members of such board of directors; (C) the date the shareholders of BB&T approve an agreement for the sale or disposition by BB&T of all or substantially all of BB&T’s assets within the meaning of Section 409A; or (D) the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of BB&T that, together with stock held by such person or group constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of BB&T within the meaning of Section 409A.

- 3 -

(2) Notwithstanding Section 2(b)(iii)(1) above, the term “Change of Control” shall not include any event that is a “Merger of Equals.” For purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, the term “Merger of Equals” means any event that would otherwise qualify as a Change of Control if the event (including, if applicable, the terms and conditions of the related agreements, exhibits, annexes, and similar documents) satisfies all of the following conditions as of the date of such event: (A) the Board of BB&T or, if applicable, a majority of the Continuing Directors has, prior to the change in control event, approved the event; (B) at least fifty percent (50%) of the common stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after consummation of the event, together with at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of all voting securities of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately after the event shall be owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the owners, directly or indirectly, of the common stock and voting securities of BB&T immediately before the consummation of such event in substantially the same proportions as their respective direct or indirect ownership immediately before such event of the common stock and voting securities of BB&T, respectively; (C) at least fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the surviving corporation immediately after the event shall be composed of directors who were Directors or Continuing Directors immediately before the event; and (D) the person who was the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of BB&T immediately before the event shall be the CEO of the surviving corporation immediately after the event. If a transaction constitutes a Merger of Equals, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b)(iii)(1) above, the vesting of the Award will not be accelerated due to the Merger of Equals, but the Award shall instead continue to vest, if at all, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4 herein.

(c) Performance Measures for Award. The pre-established three- (3-) year Performance Period’s Performance Measure (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) applicable to the Award, the Participant’s targeted percentage of the Participant’s average base salary during the Performance Period (“Participant’s Target %”), Levels of Achievement, and the potential projected cash payout to the Participant, based upon the Level of Achievement, are as follows:

(i) Performance Measure: The average return on shareholders’ common equity for BB&T during the Performance Period determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“BB&T GAAP ROCE”) relative to the average, by company, return on shareholders’ common equity achieved by each company of the Peer Group during the Performance Period (“Peer Group GAAP ROCE”).

- 4 -

(ii) For purposes of the Award, there shall be levels of achievement (“Levels of Achievement”), including, threshold (“Threshold”), target (“Target”), and maximum (“Maximum”). The Threshold Level of Achievement shall be a BB&T GAAP ROCE of at least the twenty-fifth (25th) percentile of the Peer Group GAAP ROCE; the Target Level of Achievement shall be a BB&T GAAP ROCE of at least the fiftieth (50th) percentile of the Peer Group GAAP ROCE; and the Maximum Level of Achievement shall be a BB&T GAAP ROCE of at least the seventy-fifth (75th) percentile of the Peer Group GAAP ROCE. The Levels of Achievement range from the Threshold Level of Achievement to the Maximum Level of Achievement as illustrated in the Level of Achievement Chart attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof.

(iii) For avoidance of doubt in the interpretation of the Exhibit A Level of Achievement Chart, there will not be an Award payout if the Threshold Level of Achievement is not attained for the Performance Period. If the Threshold Level of Achievement is attained for the Performance Period, the Award payout to the Participant will be, subject to a negative discretion reduction by the Administrator, one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Target %. If the Target Level of Achievement is attained for the Performance Period, the Award payout to the Participant will be, subject to a negative discretion reduction by the Administrator, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Participant’s Target %. If the Maximum Level of Achievement is attained for the Performance Period, the Award payout to the Participant will be, subject to a negative discretion reduction by the Administrator, two hundred percent (200%) of the Participant’s Target %.

(iv) The projected Award payout to the Participant, if either the Target Level of Achievement or if the Maximum Level of Achievement is attained for the Performance Period, is summarized in the following chart (with certain assumptions concerning the Participant’s base salary for 2012, 2013, and 2014):

2012  Base Salary1	2013 Base Salary1	2014 Base Salary1	Participant’s Target %		Target Payout (if Target Level of Achievement Attained)2		Maximum Payout (if Maximum Level of Achievement is Attained)2		Performance Units3
$	$	$		%	$	4	$	4

¹  Solely for illustration purposes, projections assume certain salary increases on April 1^st of each year. Projections do not reflect negative discretion reductions by the Administrator.

²  The projected payouts will change based upon the Participant’s actual base salary for 2012, 2013, and 2014.

³  Performance Unit calculation is based upon a grant price of $         for projected Award purposes only.

⁴  Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, in the Administrator’s discretion Performance Awards may be payable in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in a combination of both. For projection purposes only, cash amounts are used.

- 5 -

(v) For purposes hereof, the term “Peer Group” means Comerica Incorporated; Fifth-Third Bancorp; Huntington Bancshares, Incorporated; KeyCorp; M&T Bank Corporation; PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.; Regions Financial Corporation; SunTrust Banks, Inc.; U.S. Bancorp; and Zions Bancorporation.

3. Vesting of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Agreement (including but not limited to the provisions of Sections 2, 4 and 5 herein), the Award shall be 100% vested and earned on January 1, 2015, following the December 31, 2014 expiration of the Performance Period. The Administrator has sole authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award has vested and is payable and to interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

4. Forfeiture of Award. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Plan or in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(b) herein), in the event that the employment of the Participant with BB&T or an Affiliate terminates for any reason and the Award has not vested pursuant to Section 3, then the Award, to the extent not vested as of the Participant’s termination of employment date, shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination, and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the Award or the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award. The Administrator (or its designee, to the extent permitted under the Plan) shall have sole discretion to determine if a Participant’s rights have terminated pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement, including but not limited to the authority to determine the basis for the Participant’s termination of employment. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the termination of the Participant’s employment shall result in forfeiture of the Award and any underlying payout to the extent the Award has not vested as of the Participant’s termination of employment date.

5. Award Payout.

(a) The Award and the number of Performance Units that the Award represents shall, if at least the Threshold Level of Performance is met, be payable, and paid, in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(b) Award payout shall, upon vesting of the Award, be made to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) in a lump sum within ninety (90) calendar days following the end of the Performance Period; or if a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, payment shall be made in a lump sum within ninety (90) calendar days following the Change of Control (provided that if such 90-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries) shall not have the right to designate the calendar year of payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is or may be a Specified Employee, a distribution due to Separation from Service may not be made until within the thirty- (30-) day period commencing with the first day of the seventh month following the month of Separation

- 6 -

from Service, or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant (with all such payments that otherwise would have been made during such six-month period to be made during the seventh month following Separation from Service), in each case except as may be otherwise permitted under Section 409A.

6. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan, the grant of the Award, nor any other action related to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of BB&T or an Affiliate or affect in any way with the right of BB&T or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or this Agreement or as determined by the Administrator, all rights of the Participant with respect to the Award shall terminate upon termination of the employment or service of the Participant with BB&T or an Affiliate. The grant of the Award does not create any obligation on the part of BB&T or an Affiliate to grant any further awards. So long as the Participant shall continue to be an Employee of BB&T or an Affiliate, the Award shall not be affected by any change in the duties or position of the Participant.

7. Nontransferability of Award and Shares. The Award, and any Award payout, shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than by will or the laws of intestate succession. The designation of a beneficiary in accordance with Plan procedures does not constitute a transfer.

8. Superseding Agreement: Binding Effect. This Agreement supersedes any statements, representations or agreements of BB&T with respect to the grant of the Award or any related rights, and the Participant hereby waives any rights or claims related to any such statements, representations or agreements. This Agreement does not supersede or amend any existing confidentiality agreement, nonsolicitation agreement, noncompetition agreement, employment agreement or any other similar agreement between the Participant and BB&T or an Affiliate, including, but not limited to, any restrictive covenants contained in such agreements.

9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law, and in accordance with applicable United States federal laws.

10. Amendment and Termination, Waiver. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended or terminated only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. The waiver by BB&T of a breach of any provision of the Agreement by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement (without Participant consent) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or changes to applicable law (including but in no way limited to Section 409A and federal securities laws), and the Participant hereby consents to any such amendments to the Plan and this Agreement.

- 7 -

11. Withholding; Tax Matters.

(a) BB&T or an Affiliate shall report all income and withhold all required local, state, federal, foreign income and other taxes and any other amounts required to be withheld by any governmental authority or law from any amount payable in cash with respect to the Award. Prior to the delivery or transfer of any shares of Common Stock or any other benefit conferred under the Plan, BB&T shall require the Participant to pay to BB&T in cash the amount of any tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by BB&T or an Affiliate to such authority for the account of such recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish procedures to permit a recipient to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income, employment and other tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have BB&T withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock to which the recipient is entitled. The number of shares of Common Stock to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined as nearly equal as possible to the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing to the Administrator in accordance with election procedures established by the Administrator.

(b) BB&T has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) related to the Award or the payout, if any, pursuant to the Award, and the Participant is in no manner relying on BB&T or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences with respect to the Award and that the Participant should consult a tax advisor. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has been advised that the Participant should consult with the Participant’s own attorney, accountant, and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Agreement and the consequences thereof. The Participant also acknowledges that BB&T has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for the Participant.

12. Administration. The authority to construe and interpret this Agreement and the Plan, and to administer all aspects of the Plan, shall be vested in the Administrator, and the Administrator shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as are provided in the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Administrator and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement are final and binding on the parties hereto.

13. Notices. Any and all notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by hand delivery or by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid), in the case of BB&T, to its Human Systems Division, 200 West Second Street (27101), PO Box 1215, Winston-Salem, NC 27102, attention: Human Systems Division Manager, and in the case of the Participant, to the last known address of the Participant as reflected in BB&T’s records.

14. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable; and if any one or more provisions may be determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

- 8 -

15. Compliance with Laws, Restrictions on Award and Shares of Common Stock. BB&T may impose such restrictions on the Award and the shares of Common Stock or other benefits underlying the Award or relating to the payout of the Award as it may deem advisable, including without limitation restrictions under the federal securities laws, federal tax laws, the requirements of any stock exchange or similar organization and any blue sky, state or foreign securities laws applicable to such Award or shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, BB&T shall not be obligated to issue, deliver or transfer any shares of Common Stock, make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan, or take any other action, unless such delivery, distribution or action is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to the requirements of the Securities Act). BB&T may cause a restrictive legend or legends to be placed on any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by applicable laws and regulations or as may be advised by legal counsel.

16. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations stated herein and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant and the Participant’s executors, administrators and permitted transferees and beneficiaries and BB&T and its successors and assigns.

17. Counterparts, Further Instruments. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

18. Right of Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, BB&T may reduce the amount of any benefit or payment otherwise payable to or on behalf of the Participant by the amount of any obligation of the Participant to BB&T or an Affiliate that is or becomes due and payable, and the Participant shall be deemed to have consented to such reduction; provided, however, that to the extent Section 409A is applicable, such offset shall not exceed the greater of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or the maximum offset amount then permitted under Section 409A.

19. Adjustment of Award.

(a) The Administrator shall have authority to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting BB&T or any Affiliate, or the financial statements of BB&T or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, if the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Administrator, in order to comply with applicable law (including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act)

- 9 -

and any risk management requirements and/or policies adopted by BB&T, retains the right at all times to decrease or terminate the Award and payments under the Plan, and any and all amounts payable under the Plan or paid under the Plan shall be subject to clawback, forfeiture, and reduction to the extent determined by the Administrator as necessary to comply with applicable law and/or policies adopted by BB&T; and (ii) in the event any legislation, regulation(s), or formal or informal guidance require(s) any compensation payable under the Plan (including, without limitation, the Award) to be deferred, reduced, eliminated, or subjected to vesting, the Award shall be deferred, reduced, eliminated, paid in a different form or subjected to vesting or other restrictions as, and solely to the extent, required by such legislation, regulation(s), or formal or informal guidance.

20. Award Conditions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that either (i) the Administrator or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System determines that any change to the Plan and/or this Agreement is required, necessary, advisable, or deemed appropriate to improve the risk sensitivity of the Award, whether by (a) adjusting the Award quantitatively or judgmentally based on the risk the Participant’s activities pose to BB&T or an Affiliate; (b) extending the Restriction Period for determining the Award; (c) extending the Restriction Period and adjusting for actual losses or other performance issues; or (d) otherwise as required by the Administrator or the Federal Reserve System; or (ii) the Administrator or the United States government (including, without limiting any agency thereof) determines that any change to the Plan and/or this Agreement is required, necessary, advisable, or deemed appropriate to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or requirement; then this Agreement and/or the Award shall be automatically amended to incorporate such change, without further action of the Participant, and the Administrator shall provide the Participant notice thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that either the Administrator or the United States government (including, without limitation, any agency thereof) determines that the Award granted to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement is prohibited or substantially restricted by, or subjects BB&T or an Affiliate to any adverse tax consequences that BB&T or an Affiliate is not otherwise subject to on the Grant Date because of, any current or future United States law, any rule, regulation, or other authority, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate effective as of the Grant Date and the Award shall automatically be cancelled as of the Grant Date without further action on the part of the Administrator or the Participant and without any compensation to the Participant for such termination and cancellation. The Administrator agrees to provide notice to the Participant of any such termination and cancellation.

Operating Segments

NOTE 17. Operating Segments

BB&T's operations are divided into six reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Dealer Financial Services, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services and Financial Services.These operating segments have been identified based on BB&T's organizational structure. The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the operations of these business segments.

BB&T emphasizes revenue growth by focusing on client service, sales effectiveness and relationship management. The segment results contained herein are presented based on internal management accounting policies that were designed to support these strategies. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. The performance of the segments is not comparable with BB&T's consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

Allocation methodologies are subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and business or product lines within the segments change. Also, because the development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be periodically revised.

Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a description of internal accounting policies and the basis of segmentation, including a description of the segments presented in the accompanying tables.

The following tables disclose selected financial information with respect to BB&T's reportable business segments for the periods indicated:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T,” the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T's financial position at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and BB&T's changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T's geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE's”). VIE's are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE's to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T's relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T's significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company's valuation processes. The adoption of this guidance, which occurred effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. All changes in OCI must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. BB&T adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and has elected to present two separate but consecutive financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting the presentation of certain items on the Balance Sheet. The new guidance requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but may result in certain additional disclosures.

Fair Value Disclosures

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

BB&T carries various assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting standards. In addition, BB&T has elected to account for prime residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans originated as loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards (the “Fair Value Option”). Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. These standards also established a three level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities. Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which BB&T has elected the Fair Value Option are summarized below:

(3)	Short-term borrowed funds reflect securities sold short positions.

The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs used by BB&T in determining the Level 2 and Level 3 fair values of each significant class of assets and liabilities.

BB&T generally utilizes a third-party pricing service in determining the fair value of its securities portfolio. Fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. As described by security type below, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. In the event that market observable data was not available, which would generally occur due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security would be subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.

Specific valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of each significant class of assets and liabilities follows:

Trading securities: Trading securities are composed of all types of debt and equity securities, but the majority consists of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.

GSE securities and Mortgage-backed securities issued by GSE: These are debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. GSE pass-through securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

States and political subdivisions: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves.

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities: Pricing matrices for these securities are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

Other securities: These securities consist primarily of equities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for identical and similar assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.

Covered securities: Covered securities are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements and consist of re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The covered state and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for these asset classes. The re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which are categorized as Level 3, were valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs. Sensitivity to changes in the fair value of covered securities is significantly offset by changes in BB&T's indemnification asset from the FDIC. The terms of the loss sharing agreement associated with these re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities provide that Branch Bank will be reimbursed by the FDIC for 95% of any and all losses.

Loans held for sale: BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors. These loans are carried at fair value based on BB&T's election of the Fair Value Option. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale.

Residential mortgage servicing rights: BB&T estimates the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

Derivative assets and liabilities: BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments and are categorized as Level 3, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

Venture capital and similar investments: BB&T has venture capital and similar investments that are carried at fair value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

Short-term borrowed funds: Short-term borrowed funds represent debt securities sold short. These are entered into through BB&T's brokerage subsidiary Scott & Stringfellow, LLC. These trades are executed as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

The tables below present reconciliations for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

BB&T's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. During the first three months of 2012, BB&T did not transfer any securities between levels in the fair value hierarchy. During the first three months of 2011,transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were the result of increased observable market activity for these securities. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities during the three months ended 2011.

The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includesadjustmentsincreasing the value $92 million anddecreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $43 million for the three monthsended March 31, 2012. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assetsincludes an adjustment increasing the value $40 million and decreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $28 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three monthsended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the derivative instruments produced losses of $53 million and$39 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded. Refer to Note 6for a sensitivity analysis of the fair values of these servicing rights to an immediate 10% and 20% adverse change in key economic assumptions.

BB&T has investments in venture capital funds and other similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investment's net asset value. The majority of these investments are in Small Business Investment Company qualified funds. The significant investment strategies for these ventures are primarily equity and subordinated debt in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and have varying dates for which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by distribution through 2021. As of March 31, 2012, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. There were no investments probable of sale for less than net asset value at March 31, 2012. BB&T's investments are spread over numerous ventures, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 4x to 10x at March 31, 2012.

The following table details the fair value and unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale that were elected to be carried at fair value.

The change in fair value is reflected in mortgage banking income. Excluding government guaranteed loans, there were no nonaccrual loans or loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

BB&T may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that were still held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $680 million and $925 million, respectively. The March 31, 2012 amount consists of $302 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $378 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. The December 31, 2011 amount consists of $389 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $536 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recorded $30 million and $103 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $68 million and $86 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate.The fair value of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate are generally based on appraised value of collateral. Appraisals incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties and cost of construction. In addition, the periodic valuations may include additional liquidity discounts based upon the expected retention period. The valuations are impacted by the market price of the class of real estate and the expected retention period. A shorter retention period would result in an additional liquidity discount.

Additionally, accounting standards require the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity. For the financial instruments that BB&T does not record at fair value, estimates of fair value are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values are calculated based on the value of one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various financial instruments. No readily available market exists for a significant portion of BB&T's financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents and segregated cash due from banks: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal risk grades are used to adjust discount rates for risk migration and expected losses. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

FDIC loss share receivable: The fair value of the FDIC loss share receivable was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying a risk free interest rate that is adjusted for the uncertainty in the timing and amount of thesecash flows. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to loans were estimated using the same assumptions that were used in determining the accounting values for the related loans. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to securities are based upon the fair value of the related securities and the payment that would be required if the securities were sold for that amount. TheFDIC loss share agreements are not transferrable and, accordingly, there is no market for this receivable.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits, interest-checking accounts, savings accounts and certain money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. In addition, nonfinancial instruments such as core deposit intangibles are not recorded at fair value. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and in the opinion of management, these items add significant value to BB&T.

Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on BB&T's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Contractual commitments: The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair values also consider the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties' creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. The fair values of commitments to fund affordable housing investments are estimated using the net present value of future commitments. These respective fair value measurements would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 9. Shareholders' Equity

Common Stock

The authorized common stock of BB&T consists of two billion shares with a $5 par value. There were 698 million and 697 million common shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The authorized preferred stock of BB&T consists of five million shares. At March 31, 2012 andDecember 31, 2011, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

BB&T issued $575 million of Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock on May 1, 2012. The preferred stock has a dividend of 5.85%.

Equity-Based Plans

At March 31, 2012, BB&T has options, restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”), the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (“Directors' Plan”), and a plan assumed from an acquired entity. BB&T's shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of the plan assumed from an acquired entity. As of March 31, 2012, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has shares available for future grants. The 2004 Plan allows for accelerated vesting of awards for holders who retire and have met all retirement eligibility requirements and in connection with certain other events. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further disclosures related to equity-based awards issued by BB&T.

BB&T measures the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used:

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2012			2011
Assumptions:
	Risk-free interest rate		1.5	%		1.7	%
	Dividend yield		4.4			3.5
	Volatility factor		33.0			37.2
	Expected life		7.0	yrs		7.4	yrs
Fair value of options per share		$	6.07		$	7.45

BB&T determines the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model as follows: the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; the dividend yield is based on the historical dividend yield of BB&T's stock, adjusted to reflect the expected dividend yield over the expected life of the option; the volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of BB&T's stock, adjusted to reflect the ways in which current information indicates that the future is reasonably expected to differ from the past; and the weighted-average expected life is based on the historical behavior of employees related to exercises, forfeitures and cancellations.

BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&T's common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&T's common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends that are foregone during the vesting period.

The following table details the activity related to stock options awarded by BB&T:

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio segment using internal risk ratings. These risk ratings are based on established regulatory guidance. Loans with a Pass rating represent those not considered as a problem credit. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management's close attention. Substandard loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Substandard loans are placed in nonaccrual status when BB&T believes it is no longer probable it will collect all contractual cash flows.

BB&T assigns an internal risk rating at loan origination and reviews the relationship again on an annual basis or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrower's ability to fulfill their obligations.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its retail portfolio segment based primarily on delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonaccrual.

The following tables illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with loans and leases held for investment. Covered and other acquired loans are excluded from this analysis because their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

(1)	Includes modifications made to existing restructurings, as well as new modifications that are considered restructurings. Balances represent the recorded investment as of the end of the period in which the modification was made.
(2)	Includes restructurings made with a below market interest rate that also includes a modification of loan structure.

Charge-offs recorded at the modification date were $4 million and $5 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Modifications made to existing restructurings in the commercial portfolio segment approximated 11% and 29%of total commercial restructurings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012and March 31, 2011was immaterial.

The following table summarizes the pre-default balance for modifications that experienced a payment default that had been classified as restructurings during the previous 12 months. BB&T defines payment default as movement of the restructuring to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

If a restructuring subsequently defaults, BB&T evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying value of the loan.

The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.6 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, none of the purchased loans were classified as nonperforming assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows due to increased credit losses for certain acquired loan pools.

BB&T uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. These instruments consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. There are five areas of risk management: balance sheet management, mortgage banking operations, mortgage servicing rights, net investment in a foreign subsidiary and client-related and other risk management activities. No portion of the change in fair value of the derivative has been excluded from effectiveness testing. The ineffective portion was immaterial for all periods presented.

Cash Flow Hedges

BB&T's floating rate business loans, overnight funding, FHLB advances, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt expose it to variability in cash flows for interest payments. The risk management objective for these floating rate assets and liabilities is to hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions. These forecasted transactions include interest receipts on commercial loans and interest payments on 3 month LIBOR funding. All of BB&T's current cash flow hedges are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on then existing financial instruments.

For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that has been highly effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring during the forecast period or within a short period thereafter, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately. During the periodsended March 31, 2012 and2011, BB&T amortized approximately ($9) million and ($6) million of unrecognized pre-tax gains (losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net interest income.

At March 31, 2012, BB&T had $253 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared to $254 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses at December 31, 2011. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12 months is a loss totaling approximately $49 million. This includes active hedges and gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities.

All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Fair Value Hedges

BB&T's fixed rate long-term debt, certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, loan and state and political subdivision security assets result in exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed rate assets and liabilities is to convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate. BB&T accomplishes its risk management objective by hedging exposure to changes in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments primarily through the use of swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives that have been highly effective as hedges are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

During the periodsended March 31, 2012and 2011, BB&Tterminated certain fair value hedges primarily related to its long-term debt and received proceeds of $90 million and $11 million, respectively. When hedged debt/other financial instruments are retired or redeemed, the amounts associated with the hedge are included as a component of the gain or loss on termination. When a hedge is terminated but the hedged item remains outstanding, the proceeds from the termination of these hedges have been reflected as part of the carrying value of the underlying debt/other financial instrument and are being amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities. During the periodsended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recognized pre-tax benefits of $65 million and $29million respectively through reductions of interest expense from previously unwound fair valuehedges.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include those that are entered into as either balance sheet risk management instruments or to facilitate client needs. Balance sheet risk management hedges are those hedges that do not qualify to be treated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk associated with an asset or liability.

This category of hedges includes derivatives that hedge mortgage banking operations and MSRs. For mortgage loans originated for sale, BB&T is exposed to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date. BB&T's risk management strategy related to its interest rate lock commitment derivatives and loans held for sale includes using mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options in order to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of its MSRs. For the period ended March 31, 2012, BB&T recorded a loss totaling $53 million related to these derivatives which was offset by an increase in the carrying value of mortgage servicing assets totaling $92 million. For the period ended March 31, 2011, BB&T recognized a $39 million loss on these derivatives, which was offset by a positive $40 million valuation adjustment related to the mortgage servicing asset.

BB&T also held, as risk management instruments, other derivatives not designated as hedges primarily to facilitate transactionson behalf of its clients, as well as activities related to balance sheet management.

Net Investment Hedges

In connection with a long-term investment in a foreign subsidiary, BB&T is exposed to changes in the carrying value of its investment as a result of changes in the related foreign exchange rate. For net investment hedges, changes in value of qualifying hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) when the terms of the derivative match the notional and currency risk being hedged. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) reflected unrecognized after-tax losses totaling $12 million and $11 million, respectively, related to cumulative changes in the fair value of BB&T's net investment hedge.

Derivatives Credit Risk – Dealer Counterparties

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. BB&T addresses the risk of loss by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed negotiated limits.

As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $32 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $34 million and had posted $718 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $733 million. In the event that BB&T's credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted to these counterparties would have increased by $23 million. As of December 31, 2011, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $82 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $79 million and had posted $639 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $669 million. In the event that BB&T's credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted to these counterparties would have increased by $30 million.

After collateral postings are considered, BB&T had $2 million and $3 million, of unsecured positions in a gain with dealer counterparties at March 31, 2012and December 31, 2011, respectively. All of BB&T's derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties that are national market makers with strong credit ratings.

Derivatives Credit Risk – Central Clearing Parties

BB&T also clears certain derivatives through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral, as well as additional collateral for trades in a net loss position. Initial margin collateral requirements are established by central clearing parties on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment for the maximum experienced change in value associated with a one day movement in interest rates. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had posted $106 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $12 million net gain position. As of December 31, 2011, BB&T had posted $145 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $60 million net loss position. BB&T had $12 million of unsecured positions in a gain with central clearing parties at March 31, 2012.

Income Taxes

NOTE 11. Income Taxes

BB&T's provision for income taxes was $189 million and $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 29.8% and 18.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax ratewas primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax earnings relative to permanent tax differences in 2012 compared to 2011. The current quarter also included additionaltax expense related to affordable housing partnership investments.

In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance for foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T's treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, as a procedural matter and in order to limit its exposure to incremental penalties and interest associated with this matter, BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The Court has scheduled the trial to take place in March 2013. BB&T recorded a receivable in other assets for the amount of this payment, less the reserve considered necessary in accordance with applicable income tax accounting guidance. Based on an assessment of the applicable tax law and the relevant facts and circumstances related to this matter, management has concluded that the amount of this reserve is adequate, although litigation is still ongoing. Due to potential developments in BB&T's litigation or in similar cases, there could be a material change in the reserve amount within the next twelve months.

(3)	Net charge-offs for March 31, 2012 reflect three months.

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T's total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $94.6 billion and $91.6 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $70.3billion and $67.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio with unpaid principal balances of $7.6 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, and recognized pre-tax gains of $127 million and $35 million, respectively, including the impact of interest rate lock commitments. These gains are recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees.

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was 0.33% and 0.35%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced for others. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 4.89% and 5.17% at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $60 million and $58 million during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $502 million and $522 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At bothMarch 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T has recorded $6 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures. Payments made to date have been immaterial.

BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T. BB&T has recorded $39 million and $29 million of reserves related to potential losses resulting from repurchases of loans sold at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T's residential mortgage servicing rights:

				Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights
				Three Months Ended March 31,
					2012		2011
				(Dollars in millions)
	Carrying value, January 1,			$	563	$	830
		Additions			84		86
		Increase (decrease) in fair value:
			Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		92		40
		Other changes (1)			(43)		(28)
	Carrying value, March 31,			$	696	$	928
(1)	Represents the realization of expected net servicing cash flows, expected borrower payments and the passage of time.

The increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights due to changes in valuation inputs during the first three months of 2012, was primarily a result of updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions.

Refer to Note 14for additional disclosures related to the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights. The sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions is included in the accompanying table:

			Residential
			Mortgage Servicing Rights
			March 31, 2012
			(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights				$	696
Composition of residential loans serviced for others:
	Fixed-rate mortgage loans				99	%
	Adjustable-rate mortgage loans				1
		Total			100	%
Weighted average life					4.5	yrs
Prepayment speed					16.5	%
	Effect on fair value of a 10% increase			$	(39)
	Effect on fair value of a 20% increase				(73)
Weighted average discount rate					9.8	%
	Effect on fair value of a 10% increase			$	(25)
	Effect on fair value of a 20% increase				(48)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Commercial Mortgage Banking Activities

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, Grandbridge originated $1.3 billion and $930million, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, the majority of which were arranged for third party investors. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Grandbridge's portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $25.8 billion and $25.4 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.8 billion and $4.5 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Grandbridge's maximum exposure to loss for these loans was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.BB&T has recorded $16 millionand $15 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees and derivatives. BB&T also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities related to certain sold loans.

Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to businesses and consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow BB&T to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers' creditworthiness.

Letters of credit and financial guarantees written are unconditional commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond financing and similar transactions, the majority of which are to tax exempt entities. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $5.9 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $37million and $27 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or interest rate. For additional disclosures related to BB&T's derivatives refer to Note 15.

In the ordinary course of business, BB&T indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities arising from pending litigation. BB&T also issues standard representation and warranties in underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, brokerage activities and other similar arrangements. Counterparties in many of these indemnification arrangements provide similar indemnifications to BB&T. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these guarantees would materially change the financial position or results of operations of BB&T.

Merger and acquisition agreements of businesses other than financial institutions occasionally include additional incentives to the acquired entities to offset the loss of future cash flows previously received through ownership positions. Typically, these incentives are based on the acquired entity's contribution to BB&T's earnings compared to agreed-upon amounts. When offered, these incentives are typically issued for terms of three to five years. As certain provisions of these agreements do not specify dollar limitations, it is not possible to quantify the maximum exposure resulting from these agreements. However, based on recent payouts and current projections, any payments made in relation to these agreements are not expected to be material to BB&T's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to certain assets acquired. Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC's obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to certain loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”), certain investment securities and other assets (collectively, “covered assets”), begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. For additional information about the terms of the loss sharing agreements refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

BB&T invests in certain affordable housing and historic building rehabilitation projects throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities, and receives tax credits related to these investments. BB&T typically acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Branch Bank typically provides financing during the construction and development of the properties; however, permanent financing is generally obtained from independent third parties upon completion of a project. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of$1.2 billion related to these projects, which are included as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T's outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $383 million and $394 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $180 million and $178 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $63 million and $76 million had been funded at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T's maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures related to these exposures.

BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $281 million and $261 million related to these ventures, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had future funding commitments of $119 million and $129 million, respectively. BB&T's risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the business of BB&T's banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management's judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.

The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company's daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment, however, no class has been certified. The court initially denied motions by the Company to dismiss these cases and compel them to be submitted to individual arbitration. The Company then filed appeals in all three matters. There have been numerous subsequent procedural developments, including an appeal to the United States Supreme Court in one matter which resulted in a decision that benefited the Company. Nevertheless, at present the issues raised by these motions and/or appeals remain undecided. If the motions or appeals are ultimately granted, they would preclude class action treatment. Even if those appeals are denied, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. Because of these appeals, and because these cases are in preliminary proceedings and no damages have been specified, no specific loss or range of loss can currently be determined.

On at least a quarterly basis, BB&T assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, BB&T records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on at least a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, BB&T has not accrued legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, BB&T's management believes that its established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from BB&T's legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to BB&T's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T,” the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T's financial position at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and BB&T's changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T's geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE's”). VIE's are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE's to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T's relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T's significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company's valuation processes. The adoption of this guidance, which occurred effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. All changes in OCI must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. BB&T adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and has elected to present two separate but consecutive financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting the presentation of certain items on the Balance Sheet. The new guidance requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but may result in certain additional disclosures.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at March 31, 2012, bycontractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities willdiffer from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the underlyingmortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backedsecurities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been included in maturity groupings based onthe contractual maturity.

BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss forother-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual securityis less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded,net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities.

Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

• The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;
• BB&T's intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis;
• The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;
• Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific conditions, such as conditions in an industry or in a geographic area;
• Whether a debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency;
• Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;
• The seniority of the security;
• Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments on debt securities have not been made; and
• Any other relevant available information.

If an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary, the credit component of the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent that BB&T does not intend to sell the security and it is morelikelythannot that BB&T will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

BB&T evaluates credit impairment related to non-agency mortgage-backed securities through the use of cash flow modeling. These models give consideration to long-term macroeconomic factors applied to current security default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates and security-level performance.

During 2012, BB&T realized principal losses on certain other-than-temporarily impaired securities. These realized losses were a factor in evaluating the level of OTTI necessary to address future projected losses.

AtMarch 31, 2012, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealizedloss positions for more than 12 months. The vast majority of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipalsecurities. At March 31, 2012, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months,excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, were investment grade with the exception of onemunicipal bond with an amortized cost of $3 million and seven non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an adjustedamortized cost of $346million.All of these non-investment grade securities were initially investmentgrade and have been downgraded since purchase. Based on its evaluation at March 31, 2012, BB&T determinedthat certain of the non-investment grade non-agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses evident andrecognized OTTI related to these securities. At March 31, 2012, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $41 million.

The following table presents non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are notcovered by a loss sharing arrangement and the credit loss component of OTTI recognized to date:

				Cumulative
		Amortized		Credit Loss		Adjusted		Fair		Unrealized

	RMBS 2		100		(17)		83		73		(10)

BB&T's evaluation of the other debt securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, as of the date of the evaluation, BB&T did not intend to sell, and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell, these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. In making this determination, BB&T considers its expected liquidity and capital needs, including its asset/liability management needs, forecasts, strategies and other relevant information.

Benefit Plans

NOTE 12. Benefit Plans

BB&T provides various benefit plans to substantially all employees, including employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in existing BB&T plans after consummation of the business combinations. The plans of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans after consummation of the mergers, and, under these circumstances, credit is usually given to these employees for years of service at the acquired institution for vesting and eligibility purposes.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&T’s pension plans:
			Qualified Plan				Nonqualified Plans
			Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,
			2012		2011		2012		2011
			(Dollars in millions)
	Service cost		$	29	$	26	$	2	$	2
	Interest cost			25		23		3		2
	Estimated return on plan assets			(49)		(49)		―		―
	Amortization and other			17		7		1		1
		Net periodic benefit cost	$	22	$	7	$	6	$	5

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding standard accounts and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.Management is not required to, and currently has no plans to, make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2012; however, such a contribution may be made later in 2012, if deemed appropriate.
