BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T,” the “Corporation” or the “Company”) is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina.

General

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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. 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.

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.

BB&T had certain investments in marketable debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that exceeded ten percent of shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2012. The Fannie Mae investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $10.4 billion and $10.6 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2012. The Freddie Mac investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $8.6 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, non-agency mortgage-backed securities consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at June 30, 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 prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without 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:

•

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 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.

At June 30, 2012, BB&T held certain securities which were non-investment grade and had continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. These securities consisted of one municipal bond and six non-agency mortgage-backed securities which had a total adjusted amortized cost of $27 million and $277 million, respectively. The unrealized loss on these securities was $2 million and $33 million, respectively. All of these non-investment grade securities were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase.

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:


June 30, 2012	Amortized Cost		Cumulative Credit Loss Recognized		Adjusted Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss
			(Dollars in millions)
Security:
RMBS 1	$	124	$	(33)	$	91	$	76	$	(15)

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:


	June 30, 2012						December 31, 2011

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


	Six Months Ended June 30, 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

Balance at end of period	$	298	$	1,747	$	898	$	2,236	$	521	$	2,124	$	1,239	$	2,782

The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $2.6 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.1 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.

At June 30, 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:

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 for which 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.

(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 $5 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was immaterial.

Charge-offs recorded at the modification date were $9 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 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.

(3)	Net charge-offs for June 30, 2012 reflect six months.


	As of / For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Approximate weighted average servicing fee of the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others		0.33	%		0.34	%
Weighted average coupon interest rate on mortgage loans serviced for others		4.81			5.14

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T’s total residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio and recognized pre-tax gains 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has recourse exposure for these loans. At both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T has recorded 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.

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 Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Carrying value, January 1,	$	563	$	830
Additions		134		126
Increase (decrease) in fair value:
Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		(38)		(20)
Other changes (1)		(81)		(57)

Carrying value, June 30,	$	578	$	879

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, management revised its servicing costs assumptions in the valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights due to the expectation of higher costs that continue to impact the industry. The impact of these changes resulted in a $22 million reduction in the value of the residential mortgage servicing rights. The remainder of the net decrease is primarily due to the impact of a slight decrease in estimated prepayment speeds and increase in discount rates. The decrease in estimated prepayment speeds was primarily driven by lower prepayment speeds experienced in the portfolio. The increase in estimated discount rates is reflective of the current mortgage servicing rights market.

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 June 30, 2012
	(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights	$	578
Composition of residential loans serviced for others:
Fixed-rate mortgage loans		99	%
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans		1

Total		100	%

Weighted average life		4.0	yrs

Prepayment speed		19.3	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase		$ (34)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(63)

Weighted average discount rate		10.8	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase		$ (19)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(37)

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. The majority of these commercial mortgages were arranged for third party investors. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes commercial mortgage banking activities for the periods presented:


	June 30 2012		December 31 2011

During the second quarter of 2012, BB&T provided redemption notices to the holders of all its trust preferred securities to exercise certain early redemption provisions based on the terms of the respective trusts. BB&T revised the estimated life it was using to amortize the remaining debt issuance costs and related discounts or premiums, including fair value hedge adjustments, to end on the redemption date for each of the impacted debt securities. The redemptions, and the related retirement of the junior subordinated debt to unconsolidated trusts, was partially completed by the end of June 2012.

On May 1, 2012, BB&T issued $575 million of Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $559 million. BB&T issued depositary shares, each of which represents a fractional ownership interest in a share of the 23,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and redemption is solely at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of a regulatory capital treatment event, as defined. In addition, the preferred stock may be redeemed in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date after April 30, 2017. Under current rules, any redemption of the preferred stock is subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. The preferred stock is not subject to any sinking fund or other obligations of the Corporation. Dividends, if declared, accrue and are payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of 5.85% per annum.

Equity-Based Plans

At June 30, 2012, BB&T has options, restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2012 Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”), 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 June 30, 2012, the 2012 Plan is the only plan that has shares available for future grants. All of BB&T’s equity-based compensation plans allow 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:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	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:


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
	Options		Wtd. Avg. Exercise Price
Outstanding at beginning of period		45,384,554	$	34.42

Total	$	(871)	$	(330)	$	(541)	$	(1,146)	$	(433)	$	(713)

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrealized net losses on securities available for sale, excluding covered securities, included $33 million and $55 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

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were higher than the corresponding periods of 2011 primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax income, which is subject to the marginal tax rate.

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

The following tables summarize the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&T’s pension plans for the periods presented:


	Qualified Plan				Nonqualified Plans

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 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $5.8 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $33 million and $27 million at June 30, 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.

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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, 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 $355 million and $394 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $191 million and $178 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $70 million and $76 million had been funded at June 30, 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 is limited to its total investment and outstanding loan commitments.

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 private equity and similar investments. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $301 million and $261 million related to these funds, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had future funding commitments of $114 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. These include an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in one matter which resulted in a November 2011 decision that benefited the Company and two decisions in July 2012 in two other matters by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ordering arbitration. Nevertheless, at present the issues raised by these motions and/or appeals have not been finally decided. 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. In addition, no damages have been specified by the plaintiffs. Because of these circumstances, 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.

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

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.

Private equity and similar investments: BB&T has private equity and similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investment’s net asset 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 six months of 2012, BB&T did not have any material transfer of securities between levels in the fair value hierarchy. During the first six 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 six months ended 2011.

The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustments decreasing the value $130 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $38 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes an adjustment decreasing the value $60 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $29 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the derivative instruments produced gains of $152 million and $59 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustments decreasing the value $38 million and $20 million, respectively, and decreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $81 million and $57 million, respectively. The various derivative financial instruments used to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value produced gains of $99 million and $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.

The majority of BB&T’s private equity and similar investments are in Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) qualified funds. The significant investment strategies for these funds primarily focus on equity and subordinated debt investments in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds liquidate. The timing of distributions, which are expected to occur on various dates through 2021 is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. Excluding the investment of future funds, BB&T estimates these investments have a weighted average remaining life of approximately two years; however, the timing and amount of distributions may vary significantly. As of June 30, 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. BB&T’s investments are spread over numerous privately-held middle market companies, 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 June 30, 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.

Total (1)	$	2,736	$	2,640	$	96	$	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 June 30, 2012 and

December 31, 2011 that were still held on the balance sheet at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $430 million and $925 million, respectively. The June 30, 2012 amount consists of $209 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $221 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 June 30, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recorded $25 million and $119 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $68 million and $85 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recorded $55 million and $222 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $136 million and $171 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 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. These respective fair value measurements would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial assets and liabilities that BB&T has not recorded at fair value:

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. 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. At June 30, 2012, BB&T had $279 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 $52 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 produce 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recognized pre-tax benefits of $164 million and $92 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2012, BB&T recorded a gain totaling $99 million related to these derivatives which was offset by a decrease in the carrying

value of mortgage servicing assets totaling $38 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, BB&T recognized a $20 million gain on these derivatives, which was offset by a negative $20 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) reflected unrecognized after-tax losses totaling $11 million for both periods 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 June 30, 2012, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $53 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $41 million and had posted $756 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $746 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 $8 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 no unsecured positions in a gain with dealer counterparties at June 30, 2012, compared to $3 million at December 31, 2011. 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. Initial margin is generally calculated by applying the maximum loss experienced in value over a specified time horizon to the portfolio of existing trades. As of June 30, 2012, BB&T had posted $152 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $46 million net loss 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 no unsecured positions in a gain with central clearing parties at June 30, 2012.

NOTE 17. Operating 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.

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

NOTE 18. Subsequent Events

During the second quarter of 2012, BB&T provided redemption notices to the holders of all its trust preferred securities to exercise certain early redemption provisions based on the terms of the respective trusts. The redemptions of the trusts still outstanding at June 30, 2012, and the related retirement of the junior subordinated debt to unconsolidated trusts with a carrying amount of $3.1 billion, were completed in July 2012.

On July 31, 2012, BB&T issued $1.2 billion in depositary shares, with each depositary share representing fractional ownership interest in a share of the Company’s Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, if declared, accrue and are payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of 5.625% per annum.

On July 31, 2012, BB&T completed the acquisition of Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based BankAtlantic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp. Based upon BankAtlantic’s June 30, 2012 unaudited balance sheet, BB&T acquired approximately $1.8 billion in loans and assumed approximately $3.5 billion in deposits. BB&T also assumed BankAtlantic Bancorp’s obligations with respect to outstanding trust preferred securities, with an aggregate principal balance of $285 million. In exchange for the assumption of these liabilities, BB&T received a 95% preferred interest in a newly established LLC, which will hold a pool of loans and other net assets. BankAtlantic Bancorp also provided BB&T with an incremental $35 million guarantee to further assure BB&T’s

recovery of the $285 million. The LLC’s assets will be monetized over time and once BB&T has recovered $285 million in preference amount from the LLC plus a defined return, BB&T’s interest in the LLC will terminate. The net purchase price received, excluding cash held by BankAtlantic, was $45 million, which consisted of net liabilities assumed less a deposit premium of $316 million. The net purchase price was based upon a preliminary balance sheet and is subject to future adjustment.

•

local, state or federal taxing authorities may take tax positions that are adverse to BB&T;

•

reduction in BB&T’s credit ratings;

These and other risk factors are more fully described in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 under the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and from time to time, in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, BB&T undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

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 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 second quarter of 2012 of $510 million was up 66.1% compared to $307 million earned during the same period in 2011. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.72, up 63.6% compared to $0.44 for the same period in 2011. BB&T’s results of operations for the second quarter of 2012 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.22% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 11.21% compared to prior year ratios of 0.83% and 7.25%, respectively.

Total revenues were $2.5 billion for the second quarter of 2012, up $289 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. The increase in total revenues included $110 million of higher taxable-equivalent net interest income, primarily driven by an increase in earning assets and lower funding costs. The decline in funding costs included a $29 million benefit from accelerated amortization of deferred hedge gains and issuance costs due to a change in the expected life resulting from the announced redemption of the Company’s trust preferred securities. The net

interest margin was 3.95%, down 20 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2011. Noninterest income increased $179 million. The increase in noninterest income was largely attributable to $99 million of higher revenues from mortgage banking activities and a $94 million increase in insurance income. The increase in insurance income included approximately $77 million as a result of the acquisition of the life and property and casualty insurance operating divisions of Crump Group Inc. (“Crump Insurance”) on April 2, 2012, as well as firming market conditions for insurance premiums. In addition, other income was up $16 million due primarily to $27 million of losses and write-downs on commercial loans held for sale in the second quarter of 2011. The increases were partially offset by a decline of $34 million from checkcard fees primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment.

The provision for credit losses, excluding covered loans, for the second quarter of 2012 declined $54 million, or 17.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2011, as improving credit quality resulted in lower provision expense. Net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, for the second quarter of 2012 were $119 million lower than the second quarter of 2011.

Noninterest expenses were $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2012, up slightly compared to the second quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to higher personnel costs, which were up $92 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. The increase in personnel costs was due to salaries and wages, as well as pension expense and included approximately $50 million related to the acquisition of Crump Insurance. Foreclosed property expenses decreased $73 million due to fewer losses and lower carrying costs as a result of reduced inventory. Regulatory charges declined $16 million as a result of lower deposit insurance expense due to improved credit quality.

The provision for income taxes was $191 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $91 million for the second quarter of 2011. This resulted in an effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 of 26.2% compared to 21.8% for the prior year’s second 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 a $12 million tax benefit due to the termination of the last leveraged leases.

Asset quality improved significantly during the second quarter of 2012. Total nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $359 million, or 15.9%, compared to March 31, 2012. The decline this quarter is the ninth consecutive quarterly decline in nonperforming assets.

BB&T’s total assets at June 30, 2012 were $178.5 billion, up 4.6% annualized compared to December 31, 2011. Average loans held for investment grew 6.3% compared to the second quarter of 2011. The growth in average loans held for investment was broad based across all major portfolios. Average deposits increased 17.7% compared to the second quarter of 2011. In addition, the mix of the portfolio continues to improve with average noninterest-bearing deposits representing 22.1% of average deposits in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 20.8% in the same period of the prior year. The cost of interest-bearing deposits continued to decline and was 0.44% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 0.72% for the second quarter of 2011.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.4 billion, or 8.3%, compared to December 31, 2011. The increase was driven by earnings and net proceeds of $559 million from the issuance of Tier 1 qualifying non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock in the second quarter. The Tier 1 common ratio was 9.7% and 10.0% at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.2% and 13.5% at June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 12.8% and 16.2%, respectively, at March 31, 2012. The decline in the regulatory risk-based capital ratios was primarily due to the announced redemption of BB&T’s trust preferred securities following the release of the proposed Basel III capital standards. Under the proposed standards, these types of securities will no longer receive Tier 1 capital treatment. BB&T’s risk-based capital ratios remain well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks. As of June 30, 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.

On April 2, 2012, BB&T closed the acquisition of Crump Insurance. 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.

On July 31, 2012, BB&T announced that it completed the acquisition of Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based BankAtlantic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp expanding BB&T’s presence in the attractive Southeast Florida market.

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 second quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011 are further discussed in the following sections.

Analysis Of Results Of Operations

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis was $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 7.9% compared to the same period in 2011. The higher net interest income was driven by an increase in earning assets and lower funding costs. The decline in funding costs included a $29 million benefit from the accelerated amortization of deferred hedge gains and issuance costs due to a change in the expected life, resulting from the announced redemption of the Company’s trust preferred securities. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, average earning assets increased $18.2 billion, or 13.5%, compared to the same period of 2011, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $10.7 billion, or 9.5%. The net interest margin was 3.95% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to 4.15% for the same period of 2011. The 20 basis point decline in the net interest margin was due to runoff of covered assets, lower yields on new loans and growth in the securities portfolio, which has been partially offset by lower funding costs.

The FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the second quarter of 2012 was 2.62%, which was equal to the annualized yield earned during the second quarter of 2011.

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the second quarter of 2012 was 5.45% compared to 5.94% in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in the FTE yield on the total loan portfolio 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 second quarter of 2012 was 0.44% compared to 0.72% 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. Management expects interest-bearing deposit costs to fall to approximately 30 basis points over the next several quarters.

For the second quarter of 2012, the average annualized FTE rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.31% compared to 0.22% during the second quarter of 2011. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the second quarter of 2012 was 2.79% compared to 3.14% 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 current quarter includes an additional $29 million benefit of accelerated amortization and issuance costs resulting from the announced redemption of the Company’s trust preferred securities.

The net interest margin is expected to be in the 3.90% to 3.95% range in the second half of 2012.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis was $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 9.7% 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 six months ended June 30, 2012, average earning assets increased $17.7 billion, or 13.2%, compared to the same period of 2011, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $10.3 billion, or 9.1%. The net interest margin was 3.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 4.08% for the same period of 2011. The 14 basis point decline in the net interest margin was due to runoff of covered assets, lower yields on new loans and growth in the securities portfolio, which has been partially offset by lower funding costs.

The FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 2.66%, which represents an increase of 6 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 5.50% compared to 5.94% in the corresponding period of 2011. The decrease in the FTE yield on the total loan portfolio 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 was 0.47% compared to 0.77% 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 six months ended June 30, 2012, the average annualized FTE rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.27%, equal to the rate paid for the same period of 2011. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the six months of 2012 was 3.10% compared to 3.55% 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 following tables set forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods 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.

Second Quarter 2012 compared to Second Quarter 2011

Interest income for the second quarter of 2012 on loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition decreased $73 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. Interest income on acquired loans decreased $76 million reflecting lower average loan balances. The yield on covered and other acquired loans for the second quarter of 2012 was 19.20% compared to 19.61% in 2011.

The provision for covered loans was $14 million in the current quarter compared to $15 million in the second quarter of 2011. The provision for covered loans based on the second quarter of 2012 reassessment was primarily the result of slight deterioration in one loan pool.

FDIC loss share income, net was a negative $74 million for the second quarter of 2012, which was due to negative accretion attributable to the offset for the cumulative impact of cash flow reassessments for covered loans and negative accretion for covered securities. This was partially offset by the loss sharing on the provision 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.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 on loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition decreased $114 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower average loan balances. The yield on covered and other acquired loans for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 19.35% compared to 18.83% in the corresponding period of 2011.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the change in the accretable yield from the reassessment of purchased nonimpaired loans and purchased impaired loans was a decrease of $44 million and $92 million, respectively, due primarily to changes in the expected lives of loans. At June 30, 2012, the accretable yield

balance on these loans was $1.2 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.

The provision for covered loans was $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $15 million for the same period of the prior year.

FDIC loss share income, net was a negative $131 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a negative $139 million for the corresponding period of the prior year.

Provision for Credit Losses

Second Quarter 2012 compared to Second Quarter 2011

The provision for credit losses totaled $273 million (including $14 million for covered loans) for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $328 million (including $15 million for covered loans) for the second quarter of 2011. Overall, the provision for credit losses declined due to improving credit trends, as net charge-offs were down 24.1% (or 26.8% excluding covered loan charge-offs) compared to the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in the overall provision for credit losses primarily relates to real estate portfolios, which had higher provisions in 2011. The provision for credit losses related to commercial and industrial loans was higher than 2011, primarily due to updates to loss factor estimates. In addition, management reduced the unallocated reserve by $15 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to improving credit trends.

Net charge-offs were 1.21% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.22% excluding covered loans) for the second quarter of 2012 compared to 1.71% of average loans and leases (or 1.80% excluding covered loans) for the same period in 2011. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 included $87 million related to the sale of problem mortgage loans. The net charge-off ratio, excluding the sale, would have been 1.46% for the second quarter of 2011.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

The provision for credit losses totaled $561 million (including $17 million for covered loans) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $668 million (including $15 million for covered loans) for the same period of 2011. Overall, the provision for credit losses declined due to improving credit trends, as net charge-offs were down 18.8% (or 21.9% excluding covered loan charge-offs) compared to the same period of 2011.

Net charge-offs were 1.25% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.25% excluding covered loans) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 1.63% of average loans and leases (or 1.73% excluding covered loans) for the same period in 2011.

Noninterest Income

Second Quarter 2012 compared to Second Quarter 2011

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $966 million, compared to $787 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $179 million, or 22.7%. The increase in noninterest income was driven by insurance income and mortgage banking income, which was partially offset by lower checkcard fees.

Insurance income, which is BB&T’s largest source of noninterest income, totaled $393 million for the second quarter of 2012, which was up 31.4% compared to the same three-month period of 2011. The increase in insurance income reflects the acquisition of Crump Insurance on April 2, 2012, which added $77 million in revenue for the quarter, and firming market conditions for insurance premiums. Management anticipates future organic insurance revenue growth, but the third quarter of 2012 will be lower than the second quarter of 2012 due to normal seasonal declines.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $138 million in the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $7 million, compared to the same quarter of 2011, primarily due to lower overdraft fees, partially offset by pricing changes for routine services related to retail and commercial transaction deposit products, such as monthly maintenance fees and check enclosure fees.

Mortgage banking income totaled $182 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $99 million compared to $83 million earned in the second quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily due to $82 million in higher gains on residential mortgage loan production due to wider margins and increased sales volumes. Included in mortgage banking income during the second quarter of 2012 was a gain of $20 million from the net valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights. This compares to a net loss of $2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Included in the second quarter 2012 net valuation adjustment is a $132 million decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, primarily due to a decrease in interest rates for new mortgages, which was more than offset by $152 million of gains from derivative financial instruments used to manage the economic risk of the mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage banking income for the third quarter of 2012 is expected to be at a similar level to the second quarter of 2012.

Other categories of 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, FDIC loss share income, securities gains (losses) and other income totaled $253 million during the second quarter of 2012, compared with $260 million for the same period of 2011. This decline included a $34 million decrease in checkcard fees primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment on October 1, 2011. Other income increased $16 million due to $27 million of losses and write-downs recorded on commercial loans held for sale in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $11 million related to assets for certain post-employment benefits, which also result in lower personnel costs.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $1.8 billion, compared to $1.5 billion for the same period in 2011, an increase of $336 million, or 22.4%.

Insurance income, which is BB&T’s largest source of noninterest income, totaled $664 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, which was up 20.9% compared to the corresponding period of 2011. The increase in insurance income reflects the impact of acquisitions and firming market conditions for insurance premiums.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $275 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $5 million, compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to lower overdraft fees, partially offset by pricing changes for routine services related to retail and commercial transaction deposit products, such as monthly maintenance fees and check enclosure fees.

Mortgage banking income totaled $398 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $220 million compared to the amount earned in the corresponding period of 2011. This increase is primarily due to $175 million in higher gains on residential mortgage loan production due to wider margins and increased sales volumes. Also included in mortgage banking income during the first six months of 2012 was a gain of $60 million from the net valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights.

Other categories of 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, FDIC loss share income, securities gains (losses) and other income totaled $500 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with $494 million for the same period of 2011. Other income increased $54 million due to $101 million of losses and write-downs recorded on commercial loans held for sale in the 2011 period, partially offset by a write-down related to affordable housing investments due to revised estimates and processes used to value these investments of $42 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012. Checkcard fees were lower $63 million in the 2012 period compared to 2011, primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment on October 1, 2011.

Noninterest Expense

Second Quarter 2012 compared to Second Quarter 2011

Noninterest expenses totaled $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $31 million, or 2.2%, over the same period a year ago. The acquisition of Crump Insurance added $64 million of expenses and $7 million of

amortization of intangibles for the second quarter of 2012. Excluding Crump Insurance, noninterest expenses were down $40 million compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, was $775 million for the current quarter compared to $683 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $92 million, or 13.5%. This primarily resulted from increases of $42 million in salaries and $34 million in incentive compensation. These increases include the impact of the acquisition of Crump Insurance, annual raises and higher incentives due to improved operating performance and increases for production related lines of business. In addition, pension expense was $15 million higher primarily due to increased amortization of deferred actuarial losses. Other benefits expense, including health care expense, payroll taxes and 401K matching contributions were higher $18 million, partially offset by an $11 million reduction for post-employment benefits. The acquisition of Crump Insurance added approximately $50 million in personnel costs for the second quarter of 2012.

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 June 30, 2012 totaled $72 million compared to $145 million for the second 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 expenses to continue to decline throughout 2012, as properties are liquidated.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $159 million, an increase of $7 million compared to $152 million for the second quarter of 2011.

Other categories of noninterest expenses, including loan processing expenses, regulatory charges, professional services, software expense, amortization of intangibles, merger-related and restructuring charges, and other expenses totaled $420 million for the current quarter compared to $415 million for the same period of 2011. The slight increase was due to normal operating increases and additional expenses for the Crump Insurance acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a $16 million decrease for regulatory charges, as a result of improved credit quality that has led to lower deposit insurance premiums.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

Noninterest expenses totaled $2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $44 million, or 1.6%, over the same period a year ago.

Personnel expense was $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.4 billion for the same period in 2011, an increase of $128 million, or 9.3%. This primarily resulted from increases of $62 million in salaries and $40 million in incentive compensation. These increases include the impact of the acquisition of Crump Insurance, annual raises and higher incentives due to improved operating performance and increases for production related lines of business. In addition, pension expense was $30 million higher primarily due to increased amortization of deferred actuarial losses.

Foreclosed property expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $164 million compared to $288 million for the six months 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.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $312 million, a slight increase compared to $306 million for the corresponding period of 2011.

Other categories of noninterest expenses, including loan processing expenses, regulatory charges, professional services, software expense, amortization of intangibles, merger-related and restructuring charges, and other expenses totaled $830 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $796 million for the same period of 2011. The increase was due to normal operating increases, additional expenses for the Crump Insurance acquisition, a write-down related to the termination of the last leveraged lease and merger-related charges related to the acquisitions of Crump Insurance and BankAtlantic. These increases were partially offset by a $36 million decrease for regulatory charges, as a result of improved credit quality that has led to lower deposit insurance premiums.

Provision for Income Taxes

Second Quarter 2012 compared to Second Quarter 2011

The provision for income taxes was $191 million for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $100 million compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011 were 26.2% and 21.8%, 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 also includes a $12 million tax benefit due to the termination of the last leveraged leases. The effective tax rate is expected to be up slightly in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2012.

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.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

The provision for income taxes was $380 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $236 million compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 27.9% and 20.4%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the current year is primarily the result of higher pre-tax income relative to permanent tax differences.

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

Second Quarter 2012 compared to Second Quarter 2011

Community Banking reported net income of $177 million compared to $216 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a $65 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses and a $46 million decrease in segment net interest income. The higher provision expense was driven by growth in the direct retail loan portfolio and reserve adjustments as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in segment net interest income was primarily due to lower funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) credits earned on deposits related to the decline in FTP funding credits from the prior year, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in FTP charges on loans. The decrease in net funds transfer pricing was further offset by improvements in the deposit mix as a result of checking balance growth and a managed reduction in client certificates of deposits. Higher provision expense and lower segment net interest income were offset by a $79 million decrease in noninterest expense, primarily due to lower foreclosed property expenses and lower FDIC insurance charges allocated to Community Banking.

Residential Mortgage Banking reported net income of $69 million compared to a $64 million net loss in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $108 million decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses and a $99 million increase in noninterest income. The decrease in provision expense was due to a sale of nonperforming loans and related losses incurred in the second quarter of 2011 and improving credit trends in the residential mortgage loan portfolio. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher mortgage loan sales and margins and an increase in the MSR fair value as a result of improvement in the net hedge carry of the underlying derivatives. Offsetting higher noninterest income and lower provision expenses was a $23 million increase in noninterest expenses associated with increased loan originations, as well as an $81 million increase in the provision for income taxes.

Dealer Financial Services reported net income of $60 million compared to $53 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $13 million increase in segment 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. Dealer Financial Services grew average loans by 6.4% compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Specialized Lending reported net income of $65 million compared to $55 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $21 million increase in segment net interest income, offset by a $6 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses. Segment net interest income growth was driven by Sheffield Financial’s loan growth that has resulted through its expanded dealer financing relationships, as well as Mortgage Warehouse Lending’s loan growth as a result of market penetration, higher commitment levels, and higher line usage. Sheffield’s average loan balances have grown 46.8% since the end of the second quarter in 2011, while Mortgage Warehouse Lending generated average loan growth of 110.5% over the same time period as it benefited from the overall strong mortgage refinance market.

Insurance Services reported net income of $66 million compared to $46 million in the prior year. Noninterest income growth of $96 million was primarily driven by the acquisition of Crump Insurance on April 2, 2012, which contributed $77 million of insurance income in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, Insurance Services benefited from higher commissions on property & casualty insurance, life insurance, and employee benefits as insurance pricing continues to firm. Employee benefit commission growth was driven by revenues from two California-based companies acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011: Precept, a full-service employee benefits consulting and administrative solutions firm, and Liberty Benefit Insurance Services, a full-service employee benefits broker. Higher noninterest income growth was offset by a $54 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily as a result of acquisition-related personnel costs.

Financial Services reported net income of $63 million in the second quarter of 2012, flat compared to the prior year. Net income results were driven by a $24 million increase in segment net interest income and a $6 million decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses, offset by a $28 million increase in noninterest expense. The increase in segment net interest income was primarily due to strong loan and deposit growth generated by Corporate Banking and BB&T Wealth. Corporate Banking’s loan growth of 53.9% and transaction

deposit growth of 142.1% compared to the second quarter of 2011 was generated through both geographic expansion and the addition of industry sector expertise. BB&T Wealth’s loan growth of 37.8% and transaction deposit growth of 44.4% as compared to the second quarter of 2011 was generated through client acquisition and cross-sell initiatives. BB&T Wealth has expanded its loan delivery platform to provide a tailored origination and servicing experience to meet the unique needs of the wealth client, making its lending products more competitive in the market and enabling BB&T Wealth to better serve current clients and compete for new clients. Captured within the segment net interest income for Financial Services is the net interest margin and funds transfer pricing for the loans and deposits assigned to the Wealth Division that are housed in the Community Bank.

Net income in Other, Treasury & Corporate can vary due to changing needs of the Corporation, including the size of the investment portfolio, the need for wholesale funding, and income received from derivatives used to hedge the balance sheet. In the second quarter of 2012, Other, Treasury & Corporate generated net income of $38 million, compared to a net loss of $42 million in same period of 2011. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $67 million increase in segment net interest income, as a result of the increase in BB&T’s investment portfolio, and a $40 million decrease in allocated corporate expenses.

Six Months of 2012 compared to Six Months of 2011

Community Banking reported net income of $282 million compared to $308 million in the prior year. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $116 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses and an $81 million decrease in segment net interest income. The higher provision expense was driven by growth in the direct retail loan portfolio and reserve adjustments as compared to the prior year. The decrease in segment net interest income was primarily due to lower funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) credits earned on deposits related to the decline in FTP funding rates from the prior year, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in FTP charges on loans. The decrease in net funds transfer pricing was further offset by improvements in the deposit mix as a result of transaction accounts balance growth and a managed reduction in client certificates of deposits. Higher provision expense and lower segment net interest income were offset by a $129 million decrease in noninterest expense, primarily due to lower foreclosed property expenses and lower FDIC insurance charges allocated to Community Banking.

Residential Mortgage Banking reported net income of $197 million compared to a $69 million net loss in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $219 million increase in noninterest income and a $209 million decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses, offset by a $161 million increase in the provision for income taxes. The increase in noninterest income was driven by higher mortgage loan sales and margins and an increase in the MSR fair value as a result of improvement in the net hedge carry of the underlying derivatives. The decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses was primarily attributable to improving credit trends in the residential mortgage loan portfolio, reserve adjustments as compared to the prior year, and a sale of nonperforming loans and related losses incurred in the second quarter of 2011.

Dealer Financial Services reported net income of $117 million compared to $100 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $26 million increase in segment net interest income, as Regional Acceptance Corporation generated loan portfolio growth and higher margins on new originations in its loan portfolio, offsetting lower margins on originations in Dealer Finance’s loan portfolio associated with increased competition for loan originations. Regional Acceptance Corporation’s higher margin on loans was driven by a lower FTP cost of funding as interest rates have remained low and relatively stable. Dealer Financial Services grew average loans by 6.4% over the prior year. Competition remains intense in the indirect automobile financing business. Dealer Financial Services continues to focus on maintaining strong dealer relationships, while opening new origination production channels in high-growth markets. Additional focus includes expanding floor plan financing with auto dealers within the BB&T footprint.

Specialized Lending reported net income of $120 million compared to $117 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $38 million increase in segment net interest income, offset by a $29 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses. Segment net interest income growth was

driven by strong results across the Specialized Lending lines of business as average loans grew 17.4%, while the net interest margin improved slightly. Sheffield Financial generated average loan growth of 43.4% as a result of expanded dealer financing relationships, while Mortgage Warehouse Lending’s average loans grew by 119.6% over the same time period as it benefited from the overall strong mortgage refinance market. Lendmark generated average loan growth of 4.7%, while improving its net interest margin as a result of lower FTP funding costs and changes in its portfolio mix. The increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses was driven by current-year loan growth and reserve releases in 2011 related to improvements in the credit quality of the underlying portfolio.

Insurance Services reported net income of $89 million compared to $66 million in the prior year. Noninterest income growth of $117 million was primarily driven by the acquisition of Crump Insurance on April 2, 2012, which contributed $77 million of insurance income in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, Insurance Services benefited from higher commissions on property & casualty insurance, life insurance, and employee benefits as insurance pricing continues to firm. Employee benefit commission growth was driven by revenues from two California-based companies acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011: Precept, a full-service employee benefits consulting and administrative solutions firm, and Liberty Benefit Insurance Services, a full-service employee benefits broker. Higher noninterest income growth was offset by a $71 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily as a result of acquisition-related personnel costs.

Financial Services reported net income of $125 million compared to $124 million in the prior year. Net income results were driven by a $52 million increase in segment net interest income and an $8 million increase in noninterest income, offset by a $38 million increase in noninterest expenses and a $17 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses. The increase in segment net interest income was primarily due to strong loan and deposit growth generated by Corporate Banking and BB&T Wealth. Corporate Banking’s loan growth of 56.1% and transaction deposit growth of 110.5% compared to the prior year was generated through both geographic expansion and the addition of industry sector expertise. BB&T Wealth’s loan growth of 35.5% and transaction deposit growth of 41.5% as compared to the prior year was generated through client acquisition and cross-sell initiatives. BB&T Wealth has expanded its loan delivery platform to provide a tailored origination and servicing experience to meet the unique needs of the wealth client, making its lending products more competitive in the market and enabling BB&T Wealth to better serve current clients and compete for new clients. Captured within the segment net interest income for Financial Services is the net interest margin and funds transfer pricing for the loans and deposits assigned to the Wealth Division that are housed in the Community Bank.

Net income in Other, Treasury & Corporate can vary due to changing needs of the Corporation, including the size of the investment portfolio, the need for wholesale funding, and income received from derivatives used to hedge the balance sheet. Other, Treasury & Corporate generated net income of $53 million, compared to a net loss of $85 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $178 million increase in segment net interest income, as a result of an increase in BB&T’s investment portfolio, a decrease in FTP funding credits on deposits allocated to the Community Banking segment, and an $81 million decrease in allocated corporate expenses applied to the business lines, offset by a $69 million decrease in noninterest income and a $26 million increase in intersegment net referral expense.

Analysis Of Financial Condition

Investment Activities

The total securities portfolio was $37.6 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of $1.2 billion compared with December 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the securities portfolio includes $25.1 billion of available-for-sale securities and $12.6 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 2.8 years at June 30, 2012 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 second quarter of 2012 were $37.1 billion, an increase of $10.1 billion, or 37.2%, compared with the average balance during the second quarter of 2011. Average securities for the six months of June 30, 2012 were $36.9 billion, an increase of $10.8 billion, or 41.4%, compared with the average balance during the same period of 2011. The increases in the average securities portfolio primarily reflect 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.

Earning assets are expected to grow more slowly than loans as securities trend lower due to the decision to be more selective in the reinvestment of cash flows generated by the securities portfolio.

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.

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

Average commercial and industrial loans were up 7.9% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011, and 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The increases in the commercial and industrial portfolio are largely a result of successful efforts to expand the geographic and industry sector expertise in the middle-market corporate lending arena. Average commercial real estate - residential, acquisition and development loans (“ADC”) declined $1.2 billion for both the second quarter of 2012 and the first six months of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011. The declines in this portfolio reflect management’s decision to lower exposures to higher-risk real estate lending and continued runoff due to weakness in residential real estate development. The balance of the ADC portfolio was $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2012. Average commercial real estate - other loans for the second quarter of 2012 declined 6.3% compared to the second quarter of 2011, and 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The declines in this portfolio are primarily due to runoff of certain segments of the portfolio.

Average direct retail loans grew $1.4 billion, or 10.4%, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, average loans in this portfolio grew 8.8%, compared to the average for the corresponding period of 2011. This portfolio is primarily home equity loans and lines to individuals. Period end balances in this portfolio have increased for each of the last five quarters and have been driven by demand for home equity loans and non-real estate loans originated through the wealth and small business lending channels.

Average residential mortgage loans held for investment increased $3.8 billion, or 20.8%, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011, as management’s strategy was to retain a higher portion of residential mortgage production in the held for investment portfolio. Management revised its strategy late in the second quarter of 2012 and will begin directing the majority of its future mortgage production to the held for sale portfolio. Average loans in this portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were up $3.5 billion, or 19.1%, compared to the same period of 2011.

Average sales finance loans increased 7.0% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011, and 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The increases in sales finance loans were due to strong growth in prime automobile loans.

Average loans held within BB&T’s other lending subsidiaries increased 16.7% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, average loans in this portfolio grew 14.0%, compared to the average for the corresponding period of 2011. All of these specialized lending businesses experienced growth during these periods. The largest contributors to growth in this portfolio were equipment finance lending and small ticket consumer finance.

Average loans held for sale increased $938 million, or 59.6%, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to growth of $1.2 billion in average residential mortgage loans held for sale as a result of the historic low-rate environment. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, average loans held for sale were up $594 million, or 28.0%, compared to the same period of 2011. This growth includes an increase of $903 million in average residential mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by a decline of $335 million in average commercial loans held for sale that were still held in 2011, as part of management’s nonperforming loan disposition efforts. All of these commercial loans held for sale were disposed of prior to the end of 2011.

Asset Quality

BB&T’s asset quality improved significantly during the second quarter of 2012. Nonperforming assets, which includes foreclosed real estate, repossessions, nonaccrual loans and certain restructured loans, totaled $2.2 billion (or $1.9 billion excluding covered foreclosed property) at June 30, 2012, compared to $2.8 billion (or $2.5 billion excluding covered foreclosed property) at December 31, 2011. The 22.6% decrease in nonperforming assets, excluding covered foreclosed property, was primarily due to a decline of $315 million in foreclosed real estate and $225 million in nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets have decreased for nine consecutive quarters and are at their lowest level since September 30, 2008. Refer to Table 8 for an analysis of the changes in nonperforming assets during the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of loans and leases plus foreclosed property, nonperforming assets were 1.93% at June 30, 2012 (or 1.72% excluding covered assets) compared with 2.52% (or 2.29% excluding covered assets) at December 31, 2011. Management expects a reduction of 5% to 10% in nonperforming assets for the third quarter of 2012 assuming no significant deterioration in the economy.

The current inventory of foreclosed real estate, excluding amounts covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements, totaled $221 million as of June 30, 2012. This includes land and lots, which totaled $117 million and had been held for approximately 17 months on average. The remaining foreclosed real estate of $104 million, which is primarily single family residential and commercial real estate, had an average holding period of 11 months.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $147 million at June 30, 2012, compared with $202 million at year-end 2011, a decline of 27.2%. Loans 30-89 days past due, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $907 million at June 30, 2012, which was a decline of $225 million, or 19.9%, 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.

The following tables summarize asset quality information for the past five quarters.

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 of 2011, and 1.56% for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2012, approximately 9% of the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans is in the interest-only phase, compared to 11% at December 31, 2011. Approximately 25% of the interest only balances at June 30, 2012, will begin amortizing within the next three years. As of June 30, 2012, 4.1% of these interest-only loans are 30 days or more past due and still accruing and 2.2% 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 June 30, 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 six months ended 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.

BB&T’s performing restructured loans, excluding government guaranteed mortgage loans, totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $57 million, or 5.1%, 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 restructurings due to performance under the modified terms. Residential mortgage loans represent 60.5% of performing restructurings at June 30, 2012. The increase during the second quarter of 2012 in residential mortgage performing restructurings was primarily related to nonperforming restructurings that were returned to accrual status due to meeting the performance criteria for the required time period. The following table provides a summary of commercial performing restructuring activity during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

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).

The following table provides further details regarding the payment status of TDRs outstanding at June 30, 2012.

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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to 1.91% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2012 (or 1.86% 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, including the unallocated portion, 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 more than 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 13.8% at June 30, 2012, primarily due to declines for residential mortgage and commercial real estate – ADC loans. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans held for investment, excluding covered loans, was 1.21x at June 30, 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 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 June 30, 2012, BB&T held or serviced the first lien on 39% of its second lien positions.

BB&T’s net charge-offs totaled $337 million for the second quarter of 2012 and amounted to 1.21% of average loans and leases (or 1.22% excluding covered loans), compared to $444 million, or 1.71% of average loans and leases (or 1.80% excluding covered loans), in the second quarter of 2011. The second quarter of 2011 charges included $87 million related to the sale of problem residential mortgage loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net charge-offs were $689 million and amounted to 1.25% of average loans and leases (or 1.25% excluding covered loans), compared to $848 million, or 1.63% of average loans and leases (or 1.73% excluding covered loans), in the same period of 2011. Management estimates total net charge-offs, excluding covered assets, to be in the 1.15% to 1.20% range in the third quarter of 2012 and trend lower thereafter as nonperforming asset levels continue to decline.

Charge-offs related to covered loans represent 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 June 30, 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.

Average deposits for the second quarter of 2012 increased $18.9 billion, or 17.7%, compared to the same period in 2011. The mix of the portfolio has continued to improve with growth of $5.5 billion in noninterest-bearing and $8.7 billion in lower-cost interest-bearing deposits. Certificates and other time deposits also increased $5.2 billion, while the cost for these products declined 70 basis points. The growth in certificates and other time deposits was primarily due to the strategy executed in the latter half of 2011 to attract high-quality corporate clients in connection with meeting the proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines. Partially offsetting the growth in these categories was a decline of $581 million 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 $3.6 billion of the growth in this category. In addition, noninterest-bearing deposits for retail accounts and public funds grew $1.0 billion and $829 million, respectively. Growth in interest-bearing domestic deposits was also led by commercial accounts, which grew $14.6 billion. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.44% for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of 28 basis points compared to the same period of 2011.

Average deposits for the six months ended 2012 increased $18.9 billion, or 17.9%, compared to the same period in 2011. The mix of the portfolio has continued to improve with growth of $5.3 billion in noninterest-bearing and $8.9 billion in lower-cost interest-bearing deposits. Certificates and other time deposits also increased $5.7 billion, while the cost for these products declined 72 basis points. Partially offsetting the growth in these categories was a decline of $963 million in foreign-office deposits as the strong deposit growth reduced the need for these types of funding sources.

Management expects similar growth in deposits in the third quarter of 2012 compared to that achieved in the second quarter of 2012. This excludes the impact of the BankAtlantic acquisition.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2012, short-term borrowings totaled $3.2 billion, a decrease of $370 million, or 10.4%, compared to December 31, 2011. Long-term debt totaled $22.6 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of $758 million, or 3.5%, 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. These issuances were partially offset by a reduction of $181 million in junior subordinated debt. During July 2012, BB&T redeemed the remaining $3.1 billion of junior subordinated debt outstanding at June 30, 2012. The redemption of these issuances was initiated based on the early redemption provisions of the related trust preferred securities, due to the fact that they will no longer qualify for Tier 1 capital treatment.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2012 was $18.9 billion, an increase of 8.3% compared to December 31, 2011. The increase was driven by earnings and net proceeds of $559 million of Tier 1 qualifying non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. BB&T’s book value per common share at June 30, 2012 was $26.19, compared to $24.98 at December 31, 2011.

Shareholders’ equity increased $661 million due to earnings available to common shareholders in excess of dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $172 million, primarily as a result of an increase in the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

BB&T’s Tier 1 common equity was $11.8 billion at June 30, 2012, a slight increase compared to December 31, 2011. Growth resulting from earnings during the first six months of 2012 was partially offset by an increase in intangible assets added in the Crump Insurance acquisition. BB&T’s tangible book value per common share at June 30, 2012 was $16.92 compared to $16.73 at December 31, 2011. As of June 30, 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.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $16 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 June 30, 2012 are expected to be utilized within one year, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire later. Management estimates approximately $50 million of merger-related and restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2012, primarily related to the BankAtlantic acquisition.

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, Liquidity and Capital 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, Liquidity and Capital Committee also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital 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 June 30, 2012, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $77.0 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was a loss of $52 million at June 30, 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, Liquidity and Capital 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.

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 and other 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.

No Change		3.25		3.25		—		—
(0.25)		3.00		3.00		(0.24)		0.43

The Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital 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. Regardless of the proportional limit, the negative risk exposure limit will be the greater of 1% or the proportional limit. In the event that the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital 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.

Management must also consider how the balance sheet and interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix. Liquidity in the banking industry has been very strong during the current economic downturn. Much of this liquidity increase has been due to a significant increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Consistent with the industry, Branch Bank has seen a significant increase in this funding source. The behavior of these deposits is one of the most important assumptions used in determining the interest rate risk position of BB&T. A loss of these deposits in the future would reduce the asset sensitivity of BB&T’s balance sheet as the company increases interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of this advantaged funding source.

BB&T applies an average beta of approximately 80% to its managed rate deposits for determining its interest rate sensitivity. Managed rate deposits are high beta, premium money market and interest checking accounts, which attract significant client funds when needed to support balance sheet growth. BB&T regularly conducts sensitivity on other key variables to determine the impact they could have on the interest rate risk position. This discipline informs management judgment and allows BB&T to evaluate the likely impact on its balance sheet management strategies due to a more extreme variation in a key assumption than expected.

The following table shows the effect that the loss of demand deposits and an associated increase in managed rate deposits would have on BB&T’s interest-rate sensitivity position. For purposes of this analysis, BB&T modeled the beta at 100%.

(1)	The base scenario is equal to the annualized hypothetical percentage change in net interest income at June 30, 2012 as presented in Table 14.

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 and other 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.

The average VaR for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $330 thousand. Maximum daily VaR was approximately $3.3 million, and the low daily VaR was approximately $180 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.

BB&T monitors key liquidity metrics at both the Parent Company and Branch Bank. Liquidity at the Parent Company is more susceptible to market disruptions. BB&T prudently manages cash levels at the Parent

Company to cover a minimum of one year of projected contractual cash outflows which includes unfunded external commitments, debt service, preferred dividends and scheduled debt maturities without the benefit of any new cash infusions. Generally, BB&T maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of contractual cash outflows. In determining the buffer, BB&T considers cash for common dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, being a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries, and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions which may limit access to the credit markets. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Parent Company had 21 months and 23 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected contractual cash outflows as described above.

BB&T also monitors the ability to meet customer demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates BB&T’s funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding and non-client rate-sensitive funding. In addition, management also evaluates exposure to rate-sensitive funding sources that mature in one year or less. Management also measures liquidity needs against 30 days of stressed cash outflows for Branch Bank. To ensure a strong liquidity position, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unpledged securities. The Company has established a policy that the liquid asset buffer would be a minimum of 5% of total assets, but intends to maintain the ratio well in excess of this level. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, BB&T’s liquid asset buffer was 14.1% and 13.5%, respectively, of total assets.

BB&T, Branch Bank and BB&T FSB have Contingency Funding Plans (“CFPs”) designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet their ongoing obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of a liquidity contraction. The CFPs are designed to simulate extreme liquidity demands under stressed market conditions and provide a framework for management to meet those demands using all available options. The CFPs address authority for activation and decision making, liquidity options and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of a liquidity contraction. The liquidity options available to management could include seeking secured funding, asset sales, and under the most extreme scenarios, curtailing new loan originations.

BB&T has strong liquidity reserves including access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and unpledged securities held on the balance sheet. Additionally, BB&T’s strong profitability, credit ratings, and positive reputation in the credit markets provide BB&T with access to unsecured national market funding.

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 17

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.”

BB&T’s regulatory and tangible capital ratios for the last five calendar quarters are set forth in Table 18.

(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.

(1)

The Basel III calculations are non-GAAP measures and reflect adjustments for the related elements as proposed by regulatory authorities, which are subject to change. BB&T 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.

(2)	Tier 1 common equity ratio using Basel III proposals published prior to June 2012.

The Tier 1 common equity ratio was 9.7% at June 30, 2012. The decrease in this measure compared to the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to the Crump Insurance acquisition, which increased intangible assets. As of June 30, 2012, management currently estimates the Tier 1 common ratio under the currently proposed Basel III standards to be 8.2% compared to 8.8% as of December 31, 2011. This decline is primarily due to changes in the risk-weighted asset calculation and does not include any mitigation strategies to improve capital levels, which management believes will have a significant positive impact on this measure. Under the latest proposal, the risk-weighting of loans secured by residential properties will be based on the loan-to-value ratio and the credit conversion factor for unfunded lending commitments was increased. Refer to Table 19 for a reconciliation of how BB&T calculates the Tier 1 common equity ratio under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines.

The decline in BB&T’s regulatory risk-based capital ratios compared to the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to the announced redemption of trust preferred securities following the proposed Basel III capital standards. Under the proposed standards, and consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act, these types of securities will no longer qualify for Tier 1 capital. This decline was partially offset by the May 1, 2012 issuance of depositary shares representing fractional ownership interests in BB&T’s Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, which increased Tier 1 regulatory capital by $559 million.

On July 31, 2012, BB&T issued $1.2 billion in depositary shares, with each depositary share representing fractional ownership interest in a share of the Company’s Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and redemption is solely at the option of the Company. Under current

rules, any redemption of the preferred stock is subject to prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Dividends, if declared, accrue and are payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of 5.625% per annum.

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.

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”):


Twelve month period Beginning March 1,	Redemption Price

2002 and thereafter	$	100.00

- 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 rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class (either alone or together with the holders of shares of all other series of cumulative Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) to elect members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as aforesaid shall continue until such time as all dividends accumulated on the Series A preferred Stock shall have been paid in full, at which time such right shall terminate, 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.

(c) Each director elected pursuant to Paragraph (b) shall continue to serve as such director for the full term for which he shall have been elected, notwithstanding that prior to the end of such term all dividends accumulated on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full. If the office of any director elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or otherwise, the remaining director elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock voting as a class may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. Whenever the term of office of the directors elected by and the special voting powers vested in the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in this section shall have expired, the number of directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of this section.

(7) Reacquired Shares . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock 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.

(8) No Sinking Fund . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not subject to the operation of a sinking fund.

- 12 -

(1) Designation and Amount . 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.

- 14 -

(4) Certain Restrictions .

(a) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

(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.

In the event that any Dividend Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend payment due on that date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no additional dividends will accrue as a result of that postponement. The period from and including any Dividend Payment Date to, but

- 22 -

excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period”, provided that the initial Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date.

Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock in respect of any Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

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). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount (as defined below) pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice, provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount; (ii) purchases or other acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation solely for the purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation transactions in Junior Stock or Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business; (iii) purchases by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation of capital stock of the Corporation for resale pursuant to an offering by the Corporation of such capital stock underwritten by such broker-dealer subsidiary; (iv) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in connection with

- 23 -

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

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 -

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.

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

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 .

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

BB&T CORPORATION

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 and as further amended effective April 27, 2012) of the Corporation to set forth the terms of the Corporation’s Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, by adding a new section (f) to such Article IV:

(f) Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock .

Section 1. Designation. The designation of the series of preferred stock shall be Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “ Series E Preferred Stock ”). Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series E Preferred Stock. Series E 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 E Preferred Stock shall be 46,000. 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock.

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

-43-

“ 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and includes, without limitation, the Series D Preferred Stock for so long as (i) any Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding and (ii) the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock have not been amended to provide otherwise subsequent to the effective date of the Articles of Amendment that initially established the Series E Preferred Stock.

“ 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 E Preferred Stock, (ii) any proposed change in those laws or regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of Series E 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 E Preferred Stock, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Corporation will not be entitled to treat the full

-44-

liquidation value of the shares of Series E 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 E Preferred Stock is outstanding.

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

Section 4. Dividends.

(a) Rate. Holders of Series E 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 E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share at a rate per annum equal to 5.625%. The record date for payment of dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock shall be the 15 ^th calendar day before the applicable Dividend Payment Date, or such other record date, not exceeding 30 days before the applicable Dividend Payment Date, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock, Parity Stock, Junior Stock or any other class or series of authorized preferred stock of the Corporation.

-45-

(c) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Series E 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, 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 E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payments in the event of any such voluntary or

-46-

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 E Preferred Stock and all holders of any Parity Stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Series E 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 E Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock.

(c) Residual Distributions. If the liquidation preference plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends has been paid in full to all holders of Series E 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 E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, on August 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 E 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 intent to redeem, as provided in Section (b) below, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series E 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 E 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)

-47-

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 E 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 E Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series E Preferred Stock. Each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series E 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 E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata from the holders of record of Series E Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of Series E 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 E 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

-48-

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.

Section 7. Voting Rights. The holders of Series E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock, taken as a whole; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued Series E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with the Series E 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

-49-

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 E 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 created directorships (and to fill any vacancies in the terms of such directorships), 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 E Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with the Series E 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 E Preferred Stock and any other class or series of the Corporation’s stock that ranks on parity with Series E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock, and any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with Series E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock (together with

-50-

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.

(iv) Termination; Removal. Whenever full dividends have been paid regularly on the Series E Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock that ranks on parity with Series E Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, if any, for at least four consecutive Dividend Periods, then the right of the holders of Series E 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 E 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 E Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such Series E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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.

-51-

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

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

Nonqualified 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 2012 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 4.7(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.

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.

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.

The Participant may exercise the Option following such termination of employment until the Expiration Date.

(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).

(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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

18. Notices . Any and all notices under the Option 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.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, BB&T shall not be obligated to issue, deliver or transfer shares of Common Stock under the Plan, 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 to be placed on any Shares issued pursuant to the Option in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by applicable laws and regulations or as may be advised by legal counsel.

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 Option 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 Option 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 or regulation, or other authority, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate effective as of the Grant Date and the Option 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.

2012 INCENTIVE PLAN

Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

(Employee)


Grant Date:		, 20
Date Vested:		, 20

THIS AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”), made effective as of , 2012 (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 2012 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.

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-)

- 3 -

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 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 .
