The 6.125% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures are currently designated as the covered debt under the replacement capital covenant executed on February 13, 2008 in connection with the issuance by PNC of $450,010,000 of its 7  3/4% Junior Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2068 and the related issuance by PNC Capital Trust E of $450,000,000 aggregate liquidation amount of its 7  3/4% Trust Preferred Securities (the “RCC”).

Effective April 25, 2012, PNC’s 6 7/8% Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2019 (CUSIP 635405AM5), became the covered debt with respect to and in accordance with the terms of the RCC.
