for that dividend period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock, any other series of our preferred stock, or our common stock for any future dividend period. Upon
payment of any dividends on the Preferred Stock, holders of depositary shares will receive a proportionate payment. Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause PNC to fail

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services companies in the U.S. We have businesses engaged in retail
banking, including residential mortgage, corporate and institutional banking and asset management, providing many of our products and services nationally. Our retail branch network is located <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">coast-to-coast.</FONT></FONT> We also have strategic international offices in four countries outside the U.S. At June&nbsp;30, 2022, our consolidated total assets, total deposits and total shareholders&#146; equity were
$540.8&nbsp;billion, $440.8&nbsp;billion and $47.7&nbsp;billion, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
1983 with the consolidation of Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation. Since 1983, we have diversified our geographical presence, business mix and product capabilities through organic growth, strategic bank and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-bank</FONT> acquisitions and equity investments, and the formation of various <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-banking</FONT> subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol &#147;PNC.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC is a holding company and services its obligations primarily with dividends and advances that it receives from subsidiaries. PNC&#146;s subsidiaries that
operate in the banking and securities businesses can pay dividends only if they are in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements imposed on them by federal and state bank regulatory authorities and securities regulators. PNC&#146;s
subsidiaries may be party to credit or other agreements that also may restrict their ability to pay dividends. PNC currently believes that none of these regulatory or contractual restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends will
affect PNC&#146;s ability to service its own debt or pay dividends on its preferred stock. PNC must also maintain the required capital levels of a bank holding company before it may pay dividends on its stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a
result of this regulatory policy, the Federal Reserve might require PNC to commit resources to its subsidiary banks, even when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of PNC or its shareholders or creditors. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of
financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of this regulatory policy, the Federal Reserve might require PNC to commit resources to its subsidiary banks, even when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of PNC or its shareholders or
creditors. Further, in providing guidance to the large bank holding companies participating in CCAR, the Federal Reserve has expected capital plans to reflect conservative dividend payout ratios. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our ability to make dividend payments may also be restricted by federal regulations applicable to us as a bank holding company. Requirements to maintain
specified levels of capital and liquidity, and regulatory expectations as to the quality of our capital and liquidity, impact PNC&#146;s ability to pay dividends. PNC&#146;s ability to pay or increase dividends or otherwise return capital to
shareholders is subject to PNC&#146;s meeting or exceeding a stress capital buffer (&#147;SCB&#148;) established by the Federal Reserve, which is determined at least annually through the Federal Reserve&#146;s CCAR process. In 2020, the Federal
Reserve introduced a CET1 SCB for bank holding companies subject to the Federal Reserve&#146;s CCAR process, such as PNC. The SCB is calculated based on the difference between a bank holding company&#146;s starting and minimum CET1 ratio (as
projected by the Federal Reserve) in the Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario during the CCAR process, plus four quarters of the bank holding company&#146;s planned common stock dividends (expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets), subject
to a floor of 2.5%. Based on PNC&#146;s performance under the Federal Reserve&#146;s supervisory stress tests as part of CCAR, PNC&#146;s SCB through the third quarter of 2023 is set at 2.9%. Further, the Federal Reserve&#146;s rules set forth the
criteria for qualifying additional Tier 1 capital instruments, such as the Preferred Stock, including the requirement that any dividends on such instruments be paid out of the banking organization&#146;s net income, retained earnings and surplus, if
any, related to additional Tier 1 capital instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dividends on the Preferred Stock are discretionary and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are issuing depositary shares representing proportional fractional interests in shares of the Preferred Stock. Each depositary share represents a 1/100th
interest in a share of the Preferred Stock and will be evidenced by depositary receipts. We will deposit the underlying shares of the Preferred Stock with a depositary pursuant to a deposit agreement among us, Computershare Trust Company N.A.,
acting as depositary, and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, through the depositary, in
proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of Preferred Stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights).
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this prospectus supplement, references to &#147;holders&#148; of depositary shares mean those who own depositary shares registered in their own names,
on the books that we or the depositary maintain for this purpose, and not indirect holders who own beneficial interests in depositary shares registered in street name or issued in book- entry form through DTC. Please review the special
considerations that apply to indirect holders described in the &#147;Book-Entry Issuance&#148; section of this prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Immediately
following the issuance of the Preferred Stock, we will deposit the Preferred Stock with the depositary, which will then issue the depositary shares to the underwriters. Copies of the forms of deposit agreement and the depositary receipt may be
obtained from us upon request and in the manner described in the &#147;Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference&#148; section of this prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-open</FONT> the series and issue additional shares of Preferred Stock, we would deposit them with the depositary and

depositary will distribute any cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the deposited Preferred Stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the underlying Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of
depositary shares held by the holders. If PNC makes a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute any property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled to those distributions, unless it determines that
the distribution cannot be made proportionally among those holders or that it is not feasible to make a distribution. In that event, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the

the extent possible, the depositary will vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares in accordance with the instructions it receives. We will agree to take all reasonable actions that the depositary determines are
necessary to enable the depositary to vote as instructed. If the depositary does not receive specific instructions from the holders of any depositary shares representing the Preferred Stock, it will not vote the amount of the Preferred Stock

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the depositary shares
representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of our Preferred Stock. The summary is limited to taxpayers who will hold the depositary shares as &#147;capital assets&#148; and who purchase the depositary shares in the initial offering at the
initial offering price. This discussion does not cover all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation and does not deal with all tax consequences that may be relevant to the purchase, ownership or disposition of the depositary shares by prospective
investors in light of their particular circumstances. In particular, this discussion does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to persons in special tax situations, including but not limited to, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organizations, insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions, partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dealers in securities, regulated
investment companies, real estate investment trusts, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax, persons that are &#147;controlled foreign corporations&#148; or
&#147;passive foreign investment companies,&#148; traders in securities that elect to use a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> method of accounting for their securities holdings, and
persons that will hold the depositary shares as a position in a hedging transaction, &#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;conversion transaction&#148; or other risk reduction transaction, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-resident</FONT> alien individuals
present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year, and U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or who are otherwise subject to special treatment under the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). Tax consequences may vary depending upon the particular status of an investor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following
summary is based upon the provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations and judicial or administrative authority, all as of the date hereof. Such authorities may be repealed, revoked, modified or subject to differing interpretations, possibly on a
retroactive basis, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This discussion does not address any tax considerations other than U.S. federal income tax considerations (such as gift or estate tax
considerations or the Medicare tax on net investment income considerations) or any state, local or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> tax considerations. You should consult your own tax advisor about the tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of the depository shares in light of your own particular circumstances, including the tax consequences under state, local, foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects of any changes in applicable tax laws.

return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in the depositary shares, determined separately for each share (and you will reduce your tax basis accordingly), and thereafter as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such depositary shares.
Although we presently have accumulated earnings and profits, we may not have sufficient current or accumulated earnings and profits during future tax years for the distributions on the depositary shares to qualify as dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you are a corporation, dividends received by you will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if you meet certain
holding period and other applicable requirements. If you are a noncorporate U.S. holder, dividends paid to you will qualify for taxation at preferential rates applicable to &#147;qualified dividends&#148; if you meet certain holding period and other
applicable requirements. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced qualified dividend tax rate in light of their particular circumstances. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dividends that exceed certain thresholds in relation to a corporate U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in the depositary shares could be characterized as
&#147;extraordinary dividends&#148; under the Code. If a corporate U.S. holder that has held the depositary shares for two years or less before the dividend announcement date receives an extraordinary dividend, the holder will generally be required
to reduce its tax basis in the depositary shares with respect to which the dividend was made by the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-taxed</FONT> portion of the dividend. If the amount of the reduction exceeds the U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in
the depositary shares, the excess is treated as capital gain for the taxable year in which the extraordinary dividend is received. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dispositions.
</I></B>A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on a sale, exchange, redemption (other than a redemption that is treated as a distribution, as discussed below) or other disposition of the depositary shares equal to the difference
between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the shares so disposed. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for the shares exceeds one year at the
time of disposition. Long-term capital gains of noncorporate taxpayers are generally taxed at a lower maximum marginal tax rate than the maximum marginal tax rate applicable to ordinary income. The deductibility of net capital losses is subject to
limitations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A redemption of the depositary shares will be treated as a sale or exchange described in the preceding paragraph if the redemption
(i)&nbsp;is a &#147;complete termination&#148; of your preferred stock interest and any other equity interest in the Company (within the meaning of section 302(b)(3) of the Code), (ii) is a &#147;substantially disproportionate&#148; redemption of
stock with respect to you (within the meaning of section 302(b)(2) of the Code) or (iii)&nbsp;is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#148; with respect to you (within the meaning of section 302(b)(1) of the Code). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In determining whether any of these tests has been met, you must take into account not only the depositary shares and other equity interests in us that you
actually own but also other equity interests in us that you constructively own within the meaning of section 318 of the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we redeem your
depositary shares in a redemption that meets one of the tests described above, you generally would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the amount of cash and fair market value of property received by you less your adjusted tax basis in the
depositary shares redeemed. This gain or loss would be long-term capital gain or capital loss if you have held the depositary shares for more than one year. </P>

depositary shares and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the depositary shares unless the holders provide proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise comply with
applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a holder is allowable as a credit against the holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax, which may entitle the holder to a
refund, provided that the holder timely provides the required information to the IRS. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding in their particular circumstances and the availability of and procedure
for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding under current Treasury regulations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>FATCA Withholding </B></P>

from such withholding even if they do not comply with these requirements. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> country may modify such requirements. Although
withholding under FATCA would have applied to payments of gross proceeds from the taxable disposition of the depositary shares on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, proposed Treasury regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds
entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury regulations until final Treasury regulations are issued. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the relevant U.S. law and other official guidance on
FATCA withholding. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This section describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities that may be offered by this prospectus. These debt securities
may be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. The terms and provisions of any previously issued series of debt securities (including without limitation any senior debt securities issued prior to April&nbsp;23, 2021) may
differ, in some respects materially, from the general terms and provisions described below. You should review both the prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement pursuant to which outstanding series of debt securities were issued for a
description of the terms and provisions of such debt securities before investing in the debt securities that may be offered by this prospectus. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, dated as of
September&nbsp;6, 2012, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated April&nbsp;23, 2021, and as may be further amended or supplemented, which we refer to as the senior indenture. The subordinated debt securities will be issued under
an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, dated as of December&nbsp;19, 2012, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated April&nbsp;28, 2014, and as may be further amended or supplemented, which we refer to
as the subordinated indenture. Together, the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are referred to as the indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have
summarized selected provisions of the indentures below. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable indenture. The indentures have been filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part and have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;Trust Indenture Act&#148;). You should read the more detailed provisions of the applicable indenture, including the
defined terms, for provisions that may be important to you. You should also consider applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act. The particular terms of any debt securities we offer, along with any applicable modifications of or additions to
the general terms of the debt securities described in this prospectus and in the indentures, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. You should review both the applicable prospectus supplement and the description of the debt
securities set forth in this prospectus before making an investment decision. Capitalized terms used in the below summary of the debt securities have the meanings specified in the applicable indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. Claims of the holders of our debt securities
to participate in the assets of any PNC subsidiary upon its liquidation or recapitalization will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of the subsidiary (including, in the case of any bank subsidiary, its depositors), except to the
extent that PNC may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. In addition, as a holding company, we are dependent on dividends or other distributions from our subsidiaries to fund payments related to our debt securities.
There are certain regulatory and other limitations on the payment of dividends and on loans and other transfers of funds to us by our bank subsidiaries. For further information concerning restrictions on loans, dividends or advances from bank
subsidiaries to the parent company, see the following sections in the 2020 Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K:</FONT> Supervision and Regulation section in Item&nbsp;1 Business, Item&nbsp;1A Risk Factors, the Liquidity and Capital Management

from time to time in one or more series. We also may, from time to time, incur additional indebtedness that is effectively senior to the senior debt securities and/or the subordinated debt securities. Neither the indentures nor the debt securities
will limit or otherwise restrict the amount of other indebtedness that may be incurred or other securities that may be issued by us or our subsidiaries, including indebtedness that may rank effectively senior to the senior debt securities and/or the
subordinated debt securities. </P>

that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to that series of preferred stock. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the pertinent
sections of the Articles of Incorporation and any statements with respect to shares pursuant to which outstanding series of preferred stock were issued. You should read the Articles of Incorporation, which includes the designations relating to each
series of preferred stock, for additional information before you buy any preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P>

Incorporation. The Board is authorized without further shareholder action to cause the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, each with the preferences, limitations, designations, conversion or exchange rights,
voting rights, dividend rights, redemption provisions, voluntary and involuntary liquidation rights and other rights as the Board may determine at the time of issuance. </P>

any series thereof, which might be issued in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Terms of Preferred Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, the shares of
each series of preferred stock will upon issuance rank on parity in all respects with our currently existing series of preferred stock, described below, and each other series of our preferred stock outstanding at that time. Holders of the preferred
stock will have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities that may be issued by us. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., Canton, MA, will be the transfer agent
and registrar for the preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of holders of our securities,

applicable prospectus supplement will describe the formula used for determining the dividend rate for each dividend period. We will pay dividends to the holders of record as they appear on our
stock books on the record dates fixed by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof. We may pay dividends in the form of cash or preferred stock (of the same or a different series) or common stock of PNC, in each case as specified in the
applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any series of preferred stock will, with respect to the priority of payment of dividends, rank senior

noncumulative. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable prospectus supplement will state whether dividends on any series of preferred stock are cumulative or
noncumulative. If the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof does not declare a dividend payable on any noncumulative preferred stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend will be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be
payable on the applicable dividend payment date or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof declares a dividend on that series of
preferred stock for any future dividend period. Dividends on any cumulative preferred stock will accrue from the date of issuance or the date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

to a series of preferred stock (other than dividends payable in our common stock or in any class or series of our stock ranking subordinate as to dividends and assets to such series), until we have paid in full dividends for all past dividend
periods on all outstanding senior ranking cumulative preferred stock and have declared a current dividend on all preferred stock ranking senior to that series. If we do not pay in full dividends for any dividend period on all shares of preferred
stock ranking equally as to dividends, all such shares will participate ratably in the payment of dividends for that period in proportion to the full amounts of dividends to which they are entitled. </P>

paying dividends or distributions on or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring or making a liquidation payment with respect to our preferred stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all completed dividend periods with respect to such capital
security have been paid. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we have outstanding junior subordinated debentures associated with certain capital securities, the
terms of which permit us to defer interest payments on the debentures for up to five years. At any time when we have deferred interest payments on these debentures or if we are aware of any event that would be an event of default under the indenture
governing those securities, subject to certain important exceptions, we may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any of our preferred stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dividends from our subsidiary banks are the primary source of funds for payment of dividends to holders of preferred stock, and there are
statutory limits on the amount of dividends that our subsidiary banks can pay to us without regulatory approval. We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through our banking subsidiaries and other subsidiaries. As a
result, our ability to make dividend payments on the preferred stock depends primarily on certain federal regulatory considerations and the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries. There are various legal and regulatory
restrictions on the ability of our banking subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us, and those restrictions can vary among the different subsidiaries based on performance, capital and other factors. </P>

we will provide for the issuance by a depositary to the public of receipts for depositary shares, and each of these depositary shares will represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock. We will specify that fraction in
the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of any series of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares will be deposited
pursuant to a deposit agreement between us and a depositary selected by us. The depositary will be a bank or trust company and will have its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. The
prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will set forth the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable
fractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented thereby, including any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. If you purchase the fractional

the record holders of depositary shares entitled to those distributions, unless the depositary determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionally among those holders or that it is not feasible to make a distribution. In that event, the
depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of the depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary shares they hold. </P>

depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary will select the depositary shares to be redeemed <I>pro rata</I> or by lot as may be determined by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable

capital securities, we will accept the delivery of depositary receipts to convert such preferred stock using the same procedures as those for delivery of certificates for such preferred stock. If the depositary shares represented by a depositary
receipt are to be converted in part only, the depositary will issue a new depositary receipt or depositary receipts for the depositary shares that are not converted. </P>

any time. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then
outstanding. Except as may be otherwise provided in the applicable deposit agreement, we or the depositary may terminate the deposit agreement only if (i)&nbsp;all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or (ii)&nbsp;there has been a final
distribution of the underlying preferred stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Charges of Depositary </B></P>

also pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and the initial issuance of the depositary shares, all withdrawals of shares of preferred stock by holders of depositary shares, and any redemption or
exchange of the preferred stock at our option. Holders of depositary shares will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts. </P>

delivering to the depositary notice of such removal. Any such resignation or removal will take effect only upon the appointment of a successor depositary and such successor depositary&#146;s acceptance of its appointment. The successor depositary
must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. </P>

obligations under the deposit agreement. Our obligations and the obligations of the depositary under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of our respective duties under the deposit agreement. Neither we nor the
depositary will be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other legal proceeding relating to any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. Both we and the depositary may rely upon
written advice of counsel or accountants, or upon information provided by holders of preferred stock or depositary shares or other persons believed by us in good faith to be competent, and on any written notice, request, direction or document
believed by us to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The depositary may also rely on information provided by us. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue securities in registered and not bearer form. This means
that our obligation runs to the holder of the security named on the face of the security. Each security in registered form will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global
securities representing the entire issuance of securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names,
on the books that we, the trustee or an agent maintain for this purpose, as the &#147;holders&#148; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial
interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as indirect owners of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect owners are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in global or book-entry form or in street name
will be indirect owners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Street Name Owners </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we issue certificated securities in definitive form registered in the names of the beneficial owners, investors may choose to hold their
securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held in street name would be registered in the name of a broker, bank or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in
those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For securities held in street name, we will recognize only
the intermediary banks, brokers or other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments
they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect owners, not
holders, of those securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Legal Holders </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee under any indenture and the obligations, if any, of any warrant agents, unit agents,
depositary for depositary shares and any other third parties employed by us, the trustee or any of those agents, run only to the holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities,
who hold the securities in street name or who hold the securities by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect owner of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in
global form. For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for that payment or notice even if that holder, despite being obligated by law or under agreements with the depository participants or
customers to pass it along to the indirect owners, fails to do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose, such as to amend the indenture for a series of debt securities, the warrant agreement for a series of
warrants or the unit agreement for a series of units or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligations to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, we would seek the approval only from the holders, and not the
indirect owners, of the relevant securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect owners is up to the holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer

we will not issue certificated securities in definitive form to investors. Instead, we will issue global securities in registered form representing the entire issuance of securities. Each global security will be registered in the name of a financial
institution or clearing system that holds the global security as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in that depositary&#146;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests
in the global securities on behalf of themselves or their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because securities issued in global form are registered in the name
of the depositary, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities. This means that we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives from us to its
participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants are not obligated to pass these payments along under the terms of the securities. Instead, they do so under
agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result, investors will not own securities issued in book-entry
form directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker, or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant in the
depositary&#146;s book-entry system. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders, of the securities. The depositary will not have knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the

registered securities registered in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (DTC&#146;s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered security certificate will be issued for each
issue of securities, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate amount of any issue exceeds $500&nbsp;million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each
$500&nbsp;million of such issue and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining amount of such issue. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If so
stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, investors may elect to hold their interest in the global securities through either DTC, Clearstream Banking, soci&eacute;t&eacute; anonyme (&#147;Clearstream&#148;) or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.
(&#147;Euroclear&#148;) if they are participants in these systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in these systems. Clearstream and Euroclear in turn will hold interests in such global securities as participants on the

participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security, referred to herein as the &#147;beneficial owner,&#148; is in turn to be recorded on the direct and
indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions and periodic
statements of their holdings, in each case from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the
books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities unless the use of the book-entry system for the securities is

issue is redeemable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A beneficial owner must give any required notice of its election to have its securities repurchased through the
participant through which it holds its beneficial interest in the security to the applicable trustee or tender agent. The beneficial owner shall effect delivery of its securities by causing the direct participant to transfer its interest in the
securities on DTC&#146;s records. The requirement for physical delivery of securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the securities are transferred by the direct

date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as in the case of securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name.&#148; These payments will be the responsibility of such participant and not DTC, PNC or any agent thereof, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) will be the responsibility of PNC or its agent. Disbursement of
such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct or indirect participants. None of PNC, any trustee or agent, or the registrar for the
securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security or global securities for any series of securities or for maintaining,

respect to any securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or our agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, security certificates in definitive form will be printed and delivered to DTC.
In addition, we may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depositary). In that event, security certificates in definitive form are required to be printed and delivered to DTC.

repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. These activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. Those
