Our clients include mutual funds, collective investment funds and other investment pools, corporate and public retirement plans, insurance companies, foundations, endowments and investment managers.

2019 began

Overall, 2020 was a challenging year on many fronts, particularly given the impact of COVID-19 on our employees, clients and the broader economy. Governmental authorities throughout the world responded to the pandemic with significant industry challenges,a variety of monetary policy actions and regulatory and other initiatives, including financial market weakness, fallingnear zero interest rates in the United States and other advanced economies and widespread deployment of lending support measures. Against this backdrop, State Street generally performed well relative to its peers, improving key financial performance measures compared to 2019, including reduced expenses and increased client fee pricing pressure, and our GAAP-basis revenue,pre-tax margin, dilutedfees, earnings per share (EPS), operating margin (total revenue less expenses, as a percentage of total revenue) and return on average common equity (ROE) all decreased in 2019 from 2018. In. We demonstrated the faceresilience of these headwinds, we acted aggressively to stabilize revenuesthe business by managing through the challenging operational and reduce expensesfinancial market conditions throughout 2020 and made strong progress on keyagainst our business objectives. Actions included:

strengthening our value proposition to clients, including the ongoing build-out of ourfront-to-back State Street AlphaSM platform

successfully executing a firm-wide expense savings program that exceeded initial targets and resulted in approximately $415 million in gross expense savings during 2019

reorganized the leadershipgoals. This progress included implementation of our multi-regional international business under a single executive to further our growth objectives

Due to these actionsglobal client segment structure and the steady recovery of U.S. average market levels in 2019,our financial results in the second half of the year improved relative to the first half of the year. On a GAAP basis, second half total revenue increased by approximately 3%, total fee revenue was up approximately 2% and EPS increased approximately 7% relative to the first half of the year. With regard to risk management performance, we made progress on initiatives to improve our financial risk posture, but did not achieve desired non-financial risk improvement. While we know more is required for us to advance our overall performance, we are nonetheless confident in the trajectoryexpansion of our businessclient coverage model as well as continued improvements in our front-to-back State Street AlphaSM platform, ongoing operational enhancements, advances to our automation efforts and focused on continuing to improvesustainable expense reductions associated with our performance. transformation efforts. However, net interest income (NII) materially declined, driven by the historically low interest rate environment, and we fell short against our sales objectives, with lower than planned net new business.

The performance metrics used in our executive compensation programs are linked to the below financial results presented on anon-GAAP basis.

Overview of 20192020 Executive Compensation Program
2020 Shareholder Engagement and Enhancements Made to the Executive Compensation Program and Disclosure
Over the last year, we expanded our shareholder outreach program. This provided the opportunity to gain additional insight into shareholder perspectives, including on our executive compensation program. We conducted this enhanced engagement both before and after our 2020 “Say on Pay” vote. Informed by feedback from our shareholders, the Human Resources Committee of the Board (referred to in this Overview of 2020 Executive Compensation Program section as the Committee) adopted a new methodology for determining the amount of incentive compensation to be delivered to our named executive officers, or NEOs, as described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The performance of our NEOs continued to be measured based on corporate goals set at the beginning of 2020, but under the revised methodology, the Committee determined the amount of incentive compensation to be delivered for 2020 primarily based on corporate performance, with adjustments for individual performance, where appropriate. With these changes, NEO pay outcomes are more closely aligned with our corporate performance results for the year, and better align with the outcomes experienced by our shareholders.
In response to feedback received during 2020 on our executive compensation program, the Committee made several notable enhancements to our executive compensation program and disclosure:
What We Heard
How We Responded
We continued to receive general support for our executive compensation program, including for our high levels of deferral (90% of 2019 NEO incentive compensation was deferred), performance-based restricted stock unit (RSU) design, and appropriate use of discretion. Some shareholders requested more transparency regarding the factors the Committee considers in its discretionary performance assessment process, including individual performance expectations and how performance against those expectations links to pay decisions
We expanded the disclosure in this proxy statement to provide further detail on the factors the Committee considers in assessing financial performance, including how the Committee considers relative performance in determining the amount of incentive compensation to be awarded to our NEOs (see pp. 39 - 42)
This proxy statement also provides additional detail on how the Committee factored individual performance into each NEO’s incentive award decision, including more details on individual performance goals and how well each executive performed against those goals (see pp. 44 - 50)
The Committee maintained the basic design of our executive compensation program, including the high levels of deferral and significant use of performance-based equity used in prior years
Several shareholders questioned the emphasis on individual performance relative to corporate performance in the determination of incentive awards
The Committee redesigned how it determines the amount of incentive compensation for our NEOs to emphasize corporate performance as the primary driver, while retaining the ability to differentiate for individual performance through the use of a modifier of up to +/- 30% (see p. 35)
Most shareholders expressed continued support for our use of return on average common equity (ROE) and pre-tax margin as metrics in our long-term performance-based RSUs, though some shareholders requested we consider incorporating a relative metric in our long-term incentive design. Some shareholders also expressed a desire for additional disclosure regarding the role of relative financial performance in pay decisions
The performance-based RSUs granted for the 2020 performance year maintain ROE and pre-tax margin as metrics. In addition, the Committee added two new metrics: fee revenue growth and relative total shareholder return (TSR) (see p. 36)
We expanded disclosure in this proxy statement regarding the Committee’s consideration of relative metrics in determining the amount of incentive awards for our NEOs (see pp. 39 - 42)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sound Compensation and Corporate Governance Practices

State Street develops

Our NEO compensation practices are designed to support good governance and implements a compensation program formitigate against excessive risk-taking. We regularly review and refine our Named Executive Officers, or NEOs, and other executive officers, which aims to:

attract, retain and motivate superior executives and drive strong leadership behaviors

reward those executives for meeting or exceeding individual and company financial and business objectives

drive long-term shareholder value and financial stability

align incentive compensation with the performance results experienced by our shareholders through the use of significant levels of deferred equity-based compensation

provide equal pay for work of equal value

achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values

For each of our NEOs identified in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Human Resources Committee, which was previously the Executive Compensation Committee, determines the appropriate level of total compensation for the year. We engagegovernance practices considering several factors, including feedback from ongoing engagement with our largest shareholders to understand their perspectives on our compensation and governance programs. For 2019, we engaged or requested engagement with shareholders representing more than half of our outstanding common stock.

The Committee evaluates individual compensation for our NEOs and other executive officers by looking at total direct compensation, consisting of base salary and incentive compensation. The Committee evaluates base salary and incentive compensation levels at least annually.

Base Salary.Base salary is a relatively small portion of total compensation for the NEOs.

Incentive Compensation Targets. The Committee establishes incentive compensation targets for our NEOs each year. The targets are based on each executive’s role and responsibilities, performance trend, competitive and market factors and internal equity.

To our shareholders:

It is my privilege to serve as State Street’s independentIndependent Lead Director and, on behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I would likeinvite you to thank alljoin us at our 2021 Annual Meeting of you for investing in State Street.

2019 was aShareholders.

During this past year, of change forthe COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges that required State Street and its employees to adapt to a profoundly different operating environment. The Board regularly met with management, formally and informally, throughout the crisis and actively oversaw the organization’s agile, collaborative and proactive responses. I am proud of how State Street and its employees demonstrated ingenuity and resilience in delivering service excellence to our clients, while maintaining focus on our other business and financial priorities.
We also saw how the pandemic intensified long-standing racial and social inequities. The Board supports State Street’s 10-point action plan to combat systemic racism as the Board completed its importantpart of our oversight responsibility of CEO and leadership succession planning by appointing Ron O’Hanley as Chief Executive Officer in January 2019, followed by my election in May to serve as independent Lead Director. In December, the Board appointed Ron as Chairman, after careful assessment and review of our Board leadership structure. This structure includes my role as independent Lead Director, which is similar to that of an independent Chair at many firms and includes my responsibilities to preside over Board meetings when the Chairman is not present, oversee Board and committee agendas, attend all committee meetings and work closely with the CEO. We are at a pivotal moment in State Street’s evolution, and I and the independent directors are thoughtfully engaging with Ron and his management team to oversee the implementation of our strategy and to maintain a focus on delivering long-term value for our shareholders.

In doing so, the Board is committed to strong corporate governance practices and in maintaining State Street’s reputation for quality, integrity and high ethical standards. The Board is assisted in this by our Corporate Governance Guidelines. These Guidelines define director qualification and independence standards, expectations for the Lead Director, pathways to communicate with the Board and other processes. In addition, they identify specific functions of the Board. These include reviewing the alignment of State Street’s culture with its strategy and monitoring its material activities and practices regarding environmental, social and governance matters,(ESG) activities and practices promoting long-term value creation.

Throughout 2020, I enjoyed participating in additionan expanded shareholder outreach program. Sara Mathew, the Chair of our Human Resources Committee, and I held meaningful discussions with shareholders on strategy, corporate governance, executive compensation, human capital management, community initiatives and other topics. We received valuable feedback that has informed updates to more traditional businessour corporate governance and management oversight responsibilities.

As one of the largest servicers and managers of assetsexecutive compensation practices described in the world, State Street understands the importance of effective, independent board leadership. this proxy statement. I look forward to continuing this dialogue.

As part of ourthe Board’s continued commitment to effective governance, the Board actively evaluates its compositionwe regularly evaluate our membership to reflectmaintain a balanced combination of skills, experience and diverse perspectives.perspectives aligned with State Street’s corporate strategies. In October 2019, we added to the strength and breadth ofline with this commitment, the Board with the election of Mariewas pleased earlier this year to elect Julio A. Chandoha,Portalatin, retired President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management. As Marie joins the Board, my predecessorMercer, and John B. Rhea, Partner of Centerview Partners, to join State Street as directors. We believe that Julio and John will provide valued counsel and insight on delivering long-term value for our shareholders, as we oversee State Street’s strategic execution in the role of Lead Director, Ken Burnes, will not be standing for reelection this year. In his 17 years as a member of the Board, Ken has exemplified leadership, acumen and commitment to the Company and its shareholders, overseeing State Street’s navigation through growth and transformation. The Board and I especially thank him for his strength and dedication.

coming years.

Once again, on behalf of the Board, I want to thank you for your continued support and interestinvestment in State Street and weStreet. We look forward to your participation in the 20202021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Corporate Governance at State Street

Governance Guidelines and Independence

State Street’s Board of Directors, or Board, in its role of overseeing the conduct of our business, is guided by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, or the Guidelines. Among other things, the Guidelines describe the role of the Board, its responsibilities and functions, the director qualification and selection process and the role of the Lead Director.
The Guidelines also contain categorical standards for determining director independence under New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, listing standards. In general, a director would not be independent under thesethose standards if the director (and in certain circumstances, a member of the director’s immediate family) has, or in the past three years had, specified relationships or affiliations with State Street, its external or internal auditors or other companies that do business with State Street (including employment by State Street, receipt of a specified level of direct compensation from State Street—other than director fees—and compensation committee interlocks). The categorical standards also provide specified relationships that, by themselves, would not impair independence. The portion of the Guidelines addressing director independence is attached asAppendix A to this proxy statement.
The full Guidelines are available under the “Corporate Governance” section in the “For Our Investors” sectionportion of our website atwww.statestreet.com. In addition to the Guidelines, the charters for each principal committee of the Board are available in the same location on our website. State Street also follows the governance standards relative to the Investor Stewardship Corporate Governance Group’s (ISG) framework for U.S. listed companies. State Street’s alignment with the ISG framework is attached asAppendix B to this proxy statement.

Independent Director Governance

Independent Director Governance

The independent directors meet in an executive session presided by the independent Lead Director at every regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and otherwise as needed

The meetings of the independent directors promote additional opportunities, outside the presence of management, for the directors to engage together in discussion. The regularity of these meetings fosters continuity for these discussions and allows for a greater depth and scope to the matters discussed


Pursuant to the Guidelines, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence in early 2020.2021. State Street, as a global financial institution and one of the largest providers of financial services to institutional investors, conducts business with many organizations throughout the world. Our directors or their immediate family members may have relationships or affiliations with some of these organizations. As provided in the Guidelines, the purpose of the director independence review was to determine whether any relationship or transaction was inconsistent with a determination that the director was independent. As a result of this review, the Board, after review and recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determined that all of our directors, with the exception of Mr. O’Hanley, meet the categorical standards for independence under the Guidelines, have no material relationship with State Street (other than the role of director) and satisfy the qualifications for independence under listing standards of the NYSE.

In making the independence determinations in 2020,2021, the Board considered that the below identified individuals, or their respective family members, have the following relationships or arrangements that are deemed to be immaterial under the categorical standards for independence included in the Guidelines:

commercial or charitable relationships with an entity for which the State Street director or family member serves as anon-employee non-management director, and with respect to which the director was uninvolved in negotiating such relationship (Ms.(Mses. Dugle and Mathew and Messrs. Burnes andMr. Freda)

commercial relationships with an entity for which the State Street director or family member serves as an employee, consultant or executive officer where the director does not receive any special benefits from the transaction and the annual payments to orand from the entity are equal to or less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross annual revenues of the other entity during the most recent completed fiscal year (Messrs. Freda, Meaney and Meaney)Rhea)

A related person proposing to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship must report the proposed related-person transaction to State Street’s Chief Legal Officer.General Counsel. The policy calls for the proposed related-person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A related-person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or the Committee Chair) after full disclosure of the related person’s interest in the transaction. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to the transaction. If advance review is not practicable or was otherwise not obtained, the Committee will review and, if deemed appropriate, ratify the related-person transaction. The policy also permits the Committee Chair to review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related-person transactions that arise between Committee meetings, in which case they will be reported to the full Committee at its next meeting. Any ongoing related-person transactions are reviewed annually.

In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the SEC’s related-person transaction disclosure rule, the Board has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related-person transactions for purposes of this policy:

interests arising solely from the related person’s position as an executive officer, employee or consultant of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity) that is a party to the transaction, where (1) the related person and his or her immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (2) the annual amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of the other entity that is a party to the transaction during that entity’s last completed fiscal year; or

a transaction that involves discretionary charitable contributions from State Street to atax-exempt organization where a related person is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer, provided the related person and his or her immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction, and further provided that, where a related person is an executive officer of the

Executive Summary

To better align

Over the last year, we expanded our shareholder outreach program. This provided the opportunity to gain additional insight into shareholder perspectives, including on our executive compensation program. We conducted this enhanced engagement both before and after our 2020 “Say on Pay” vote, which received 70.1% support. Informed by feedback from our shareholders, the Committee adopted a new methodology for determining the amount of incentive compensation to be delivered to our NEOs, as described under “Compensation Program Design Changes.” NEO performance continued to be measured based on corporate goals set at the beginning of 2020, but under the revised methodology, the Committee determined the amount of incentive compensation to be delivered for 2020 primarily based on corporate performance, with adjustments for individual performance, where appropriate. With these changes, NEO pay outcomes are more closely aligned with both individual andour corporate performance results for the year, including providingand better align with the outcomes experienced by our shareholders.

           What We Heard
How We Responded
We continued to receive general support for our executive compensation program, including for our high levels of deferral (90% of 2019 NEO incentive compensation was deferred), performance-based restricted stock unit (RSU) design, and appropriate use of discretion. Some shareholders requested more transparency regarding the factors the Committee considers in its discretionary performance assessment process, including individual performance expectations and how performance against those expectations links to pay decisions
• We expanded the disclosure in this proxy statement to provide further detail on the factors the Committee considers in assessing financial performance, including how the Committee considers relative performance in determining the amount of incentive compensation to be awarded to our NEOs (see pp. 39 - 42)

• This proxy statement also provides additional detail on how the Committee factored individual performance into each NEO’s incentive award decision, including more details on individual performance goals and how well each executive performed against those goals (see pp. 44 - 50)

• The Committee maintained the basic design of our executive compensation program, including the high levels of deferral and significant use of performance-based equity used in prior years
Several shareholders questioned the emphasis on individual performance relative to corporate performance in the determination of incentive awards
• The Committee redesigned how it determines the amount of incentive compensation for our NEOs to emphasize corporate performance as the primary driver, while retaining the ability to differentiate for individual performance through the use of a modifier of up to +/- 30% (see p. 35)
Most shareholders expressed continued support for our use of return on average common equity (ROE) and pre-tax margin as metrics in our long-term performance-based RSUs, though some shareholders requested we consider incorporating a relative metric in our long-term incentive design. Some shareholders also expressed a desire for additional disclosure regarding the role of relative financial performance in pay decisions
• The performance-based RSUs granted for the 2020 performance year maintain ROE and pre-tax margin as metrics. In addition, the Committee added two new metrics: fee revenue growth and relative total shareholder return (TSR) (see p. 36)

• We expanded disclosure in this proxy statement regarding the Committee’s consideration of relative metrics in determining the amount of incentive awards for our NEOs (see pp. 39 - 42)

Corporate Performance Summary
As a starting place for us to advance our overall performance, we are nonetheless confident in the trajectory of our business and focused on continuing to improve our performance.

In determining our NEOs’ compensation for 2019,2020, the Committee evaluated State Street’s overall corporate performance. Consistent with prior years, this evaluation included a structured assessment of corporate performance based on three discrete scorecards that capture State Street’s annual performance againstrelative to our financial, business and risk management objectives. ImprovementThese goals were set at the beginning of 2020 and were measured throughout the year using performance scorecards, which included both qualitative and quantitative assessments. A summary of each scorecard and the Committee’s overall conclusions are provided in the second half of the year, particularly with respect to financial and businesstable below. Our performance tempered the disappointing start to 2019.

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
Overall, 2020 was a challenging year on many fronts, particularly given the impact of COVID-19 on our employees, clients and the broader economy. Governmental authorities throughout the world responded to the pandemic with a variety of monetary policy actions and regulatory and other initiatives, including near zero interest rates in the United States and other advanced economies and widespread deployment of lending support measures. Against this backdrop, State Street generally performed well relative to its peers, improving key financial performance measures compared to 2019, including reduced expenses and increased fees, earnings per share (EPS), operating margin (total revenue less expenses, as a percentage of total revenue) and ROE. We demonstrated the resilience of the business by managing through the challenging operational and financial market conditions throughout 2020, and made strong progress against our business goals. This progress included implementation of our global client segment structure and expansion of our client coverage model as well as continued improvements in our front-to-back State Street Alpha platform, ongoing operational enhancements, advances to our automation efforts and sustainable expense reductions associated with our transformation efforts. However, net interest income (NII) materially declined, driven by the historically low interest rate environment, and we fell short against our sales objectives, with lower than planned net new business.
Additionally, our three-year TSR trailed our Direct Peers and was in the bottom quartile relative to relevant market indices. However, one- and two-year TSR were both stronger than our Direct Peers, as illustrated below:

Despite one-year TSR performance that led our Direct Peers in 2020, three-year TSR was below expectations and hewe fell short against our sales objectives, with lower than planned net new business. Additionally, though progress was made towards our aggressive diversity goals, which are a key element of our long-term strategy, overall progress against these goals was below expectations. At the same time, the Committee felt that Mr. O’Hanley demonstrated particularly strong leadership in driving key initiatives amidst the challenging operational and financial market conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as improvement in key financial measures relative to 2019. As a result, Mr. O’Hanley received a slight positive adjustment for individual performance, resulting in a below-target total incentive award of 83%approximately 96% of target.

NEO Incentive Compensation Mix(1)

Incentive awards earned by our NEOs are typically delivered through fourshort- and long-term award vehicles, including both cash and equity, as described in the “Compensation Vehicles and Design” table below.Vehicles” table. The incentive compensation mix emphasizes deferral and performance-based equity. 90% of incentive awards for our NEOs are deferred. In addition, 67% of our CEO’sequity and 62% of our other NEOs’ equity awards are performance-based restricted stock units, referred to as performance-based RSUs. This structure is designed to drive financial performance and to align incentives with the performance experienced by our shareholders. The Committee may, at its discretion, change the vehicle delivery mix in any given year.
For 2019,2020, the Committee eliminated the immediate cash payment for our CEO and shifted all of his cash-based incentive awards werecompensation into an equity-based vehicle to promote ongoing focus on improving our share price performance. Thus, the Committee replaced the amounts previously delivered in: performance-based RSUs;as immediate and deferred cash with long-term cash-settled restricted stock awards,units, referred to as DSAs;CRSUs. As a result, Mr. O’Hanley’s 2020 incentive award was delivered in 100% deferred valueequity-based vehicles.

Linking Pay with Performance Over Time
Our executive compensation program is designed to align pay with performance and shareholder interests over time. The design elements supporting this goal include our use of shareholder return-based metrics in assessing annual financial performance and governance practices, the Committee considers market trends and regulatory guidance, as well as other factors, including shareholder feedback. The Committee receives feedback from our shareholders through two primary channels:

heavy reliance on equity-based compensation vehicles. As a result, realizable pay (the value of prior awards granted)(1) reflects our shareholders’ experience:

For the 2019 compensation year, we therefore continued many of the elements of our existing compensation program, such as maintaining a high level of performance-based equity and deferral for incentive compensation awards to our NEOs. One area of specific discussion we had with several of our shareholders in recent years involved the clarity and transparency of the relationship between individual pay outcomes and company performance. For example, several shareholders requested additional detail on the relationship between scorecard-based evaluations of corporate performance and individual pay decisions. These discussions, together with long-term strategic and other considerations, informed the changes to the structure of our compensation program for 2019, described under “New Compensation Program Features for the 2019 Compensation Year,” below.

Total Compensation Approach

The Committee evaluatesdetermines the amount of individual compensation forto be awarded to our NEOs and other executive officers by looking at total direct compensation, consisting of base salary and incentive compensation. The Committee evaluates base salary and target incentive compensation levels at least annually.

Base Salary. Base salary is a relatively small portion of the total compensation for our NEOs. As described in our 2020 Proxy Statement, effective at the NEOs. Noneend of the NEOsfirst quarter of 2020, Mr. O’Hanley received a base salary increase from $800,000 to $1,000,000. This was the only increase to Mr. O’Hanley’s base salary since he was appointed as Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2019, and the Committee considered the increase to be appropriate based on his role. In addition, Messrs. Erickson and Maiuri each received base salary increases to $700,000 at the same time (from $500,000 and $450,000, respectively). The Committee considered these base salary increases to be appropriate based on the expansion of Mr. Erickson’s role at that time to include responsibility for our Global Marketing and Global Client Divisions and the appointment of Mr. Maiuri in 2019.2019 as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, as well as relevant internal and external benchmarks.

Setting Individual Incentive Compensation Targets. The Committee establishes incentive compensation targets for our NEOs each year. The targets are based on each executive’s role and responsibilities and performance trend, as well as competitive and market factors and internal equity. The Committee increased the target incentive compensation for 2020 for Mr. O’Hanley from $13,200,000 to $13,500,000, for Mr. Aboaf from $5,800,000 to $6,300,000 and for Mr. Erickson from $6,009,600 to $6,300,000. The Committee set 2020 target incentive compensation for Mr. Aristeguieta at $6,300,000, below the $6,800,000 level set for 2019, and consistent with his 2019 offer of employment to join State Street. The Committee considers the total target compensation for each NEO to be appropriate based on the scope of each executive’s 2020 role and in light of relevant internal and external benchmarks.

For 2019,2020, each NEO’s target total compensation was allocated as follows:

Determining Incentive Compensation Awards. FollowingThe Committee’s process for determining incentive compensation award amounts is illustrated in the end of theframework below.

(1)
Relative performance is measured against our direct peers (Northern Trust Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation) as well as relevant indices, including the KBW Bank Index and the Capital Markets and Banks subsets of the S&P 500 Financial Index.
(2)
The Committee may change the incentive compensation mix at its discretion.
(3)
While performance-based RSUs represent the same proportion of the total incentive as last year, they represent a smaller proportion of equity delivered to the CEO than in prior years because all of his awards for 2020 were delivered in deferred equity-based vehicles.
In determining incentive compensation award amounts, the Committee evaluates theoverall company performance as a primary factor and individual and corporate component values for each NEO in light of input from the CEO (on the other NEOs)performance as well as other directors,a potential modifier. The Committee also considers market compensation levels trends and practices and corporate financialexpected trends. Overall company performance relativedrives the final incentive compensation award amount unless individual performance and/or market considerations warrant an adjustment, which is limited to peersan addition or subtraction of up to reach final total incentive award amounts, as described above under “New Compensation Program Features for the 2019 Compensation Year”.thirty percent. In evaluating performance, the Committee may consider additional factors or give greater or lessand does not assign a specific weight to any individual factor.

The Committee’s evaluation of overall company performance is based on a review of financial, business and risk management performance relative to corporate goals set at the beginning of each year. The Committee’s review of financial performance focuses on comparisons of key financial indicators relative to prior year and budget performance as well as relative to our Direct Peers and relevant indices. The Committee’s review of risk management performance focuses on financial and non-financial risks and key enterprise programs. For 2020, the Committee’s evaluation of risk management performance also included a specific assessment of State Street’s crisis management through COVID-19-driven volatility. The Committee’s review of business performance focused on annual objectives that drive progress against our long-term strategic plan. For 2020, these annual objectives included a focus on strengthening client partnerships and improving service quality, making improvements to our operating model through productivity and resiliency enhancements and continuing to implement a systematic transformation of State Street to fundamentally change the way we work.
The Committee’s evaluation of individual NEO performance is based on a review of financial, business and risk management scorecards derived from the associated corporate goals, and based on each NEO’s role and responsibilities. The Committee also evaluates each individual’s leadership- and talent-related performance, including performance against our diversity priorities.
Once the final incentive compensation amount has beenis determined, the total incentive valueit is delivered through the establisheda mix of performance-based RSUs, DSAs, DVAs and immediate cash vehicles describedas shown in the “Compensation Vehicles and Design” table above.Vehicles” table.

2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

The Committee considered the financial, business and risk managementpreliminary corporate performance scorecards in July and December 2019, as well as2020, and the final 20192020 scorecards in early 2020.2021. The full Board of Directors also reviewsreviewed financial performance at each Board meeting. The Committee’s overall evaluationmeeting and the Risk Committee reviewed the preliminary risk management performance scorecard in July 2020 and the final scorecard in December 2020. Based on its review of corporate performance, balancing positive and negative performance outcomes in each of these scorecards, is a primary driver of incentive compensation decisions for our Chief Executive Officer and for the corporate performance incentive factor for our other NEOs.

Under the 2019 compensation program, all executive officers receive the same corporate performance factor for the 40% of their total target incentive that is based on the Committee’s evaluation of overall corporate performance. Improvement in the second half of the year, particularly with respect toincluding “At Expectations” financial and risk management performance and “Above Expectations” business performance, tempered the disappointing start to 2019. However, the Committee concluded that State Street’s full year corporate performance was Below Expectations as a result“At Expectations.”

Consequently, the Committee’s basis for determining the amount of financial and risk management performance against objectives. Consequently, all executive officers received only 62.5% of the corporate performance component of their2020 incentive compensation, target, impacting both equity- and cash-based incentive compensation awards. A descriptionprior to differentiation based on individual performance, was 95% of target. More details on our performance against each of the three corporate performance scorecards including second half trend evaluations, isare found below.

Financial Performance.During its evaluation of 20192020 performance, the Committee had access toreviewed financial results presented in conformity with GAAP, as well as financial results presented on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP. This latter basis is aGAAP (a non-GAAP presentation. presentation). In general, ournon-GAAP financial results adjust selected GAAP-basis financial results to exclude the impact of revenue and expenses outside of State Street’s normal course of business or other notable items. Management believes that this presentation of financial information facilitates an investor’s and the Committee’s further understanding and analysis of State Street’s financial performance and trends with respect to State Street’s business operations fromperiod-to-period, including providing additional insight into our underlying margin and profitability. Financial results are presented on anon-GAAP basis in this section, unless otherwise noted.Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. For a reconciliation ofnon-GAAP measures presented in this CD&A, seeAppendix C.C.

2019 began with significant challenges, including financial market weakness, falling interest rates and increased client fee pricing pressure, and our revenue,pre-tax margin, EPS and ROE all decreased in 2019 from 2018. In the face of these headwinds, we acted aggressively to stabilize revenues and reduce expenses. Actions included strengthening our value proposition to clients, including the ongoingbuild-out of ourfront-to-back

The 20192020 compensation described in the table above, which summarizes how the Committee evaluates annual total compensation, differs from the compensation described in the Summary Compensation Table below in the following respects:


Annual Base Salary. The table above reflects theyear-end annual base salary rate applicable for each NEO. Column (c) in the Summary Compensation Table presents the amount of base salary actually earned by each NEO during the relevant year.


DVAs. The table above, like the Summary Compensation Table, reflects the value of deferred cash compensation awarded by the Committee for the 20192020 performance year. However, the table above does not reflect any dividends credited on DVAs outstanding during 2019,2020, which are describedincluded in note (4) to the Summary Compensation Table.


Equity-Based Incentive Awards. The Committee grants equity awards based on the prior year’s performance. In the table above, equity awards are shown for the year of performance (i.e., equityequity-based awards granted in 2021 for 2020 performance, including the CRSUs granted for 2019the 2020 performance isyear, are shown as 20192020 compensation). Under applicable SEC rules, the Summary Compensation Table presents equity awards in the year in which they are granted (e.g., equity granted in 20192020 for 20182019 performance is shown as 20192020 compensation).

Other Awards. In considering Mr. Aristeguieta’s 2019 incentive compensation, Thus, the Committee did not includeCRSUs and the other equity-based awards granted to Mr. Aristeguieta in July 2019 and described under “Other Elements of Compensation—Other Awards and Agreements.” Those awards were designed to replace deferred compensation at his former employer that Mr. Aristeguieta forfeited to join State Street and are therefore excluded from the Total Compensation column in this table. These awards consist solely of equity-based compensation, which, under applicable SEC rules, are presentedshown above for 2020 will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the year in which the awards were granted.

for 2021.

Total Compensation. The amounts disclosed above differ from the amounts reported in column (j) of the Summary Compensation Table due to the different methodologies discussed in the notes above. Additionally, this table excludes several items required to be included in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table that State Street does not view as primary components of regular annual compensation and therefore were not considered in setting incentive targets or determining incentive awards, such as the changevalue of international assignment benefits provided to Messrs. Aristeguieta and Erickson described in pension value (which is due solely to variancesmore detail in actuarial computations over time).

Other Awards and Agreements

In July 2019, Mr. Aristeguieta was hired as the Chief Executive Officer for International Business. In this role, he leads all of our international business activities including driving strategy, stewarding client engagement, developing talent, pursuing growth opportunities and maintaining regulatory relationships. Prior to joining State Street, he served as the Chief Executive Officer of Citigroup Asia where he was responsible for all businesses in the region’s 16 markets. Mr. Aristeguieta’s hire supports a key objective of our long term strategy—namely, to win in the fastest growing and highest potential markets.

In July 2019, in connection with his hiring, the Committee granted Mr. Aristeguieta equity awards totaling approximately $9.5 million, including approximately $2.35 million in performance-based RSUs, to compensate him for the loss of outstanding deferred incentive compensation from his prior employer. These awards were an important element of attracting Mr. Aristeguieta to join State Street and are described in more detail below in the “2019 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table and the footnotes to the “Outstanding Equity Awards at FiscalYear-End, December 31, 2019” table.

Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms

Incentive compensation awards to our NEOs are subject to adjustment and recourse mechanisms, includingex ante adjustment, forfeiture and clawback, which may be applied jointly, or separately, as appropriate.

    2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

Ex Ante Adjustment. Before awards are made for a given compensation year, all incentive awards for our NEOs, including deferred incentive awards and the immediate cash incentive,incentives, are subject to downward adjustment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The Committee, in its discretion, determines whether thisex ante adjustment is appropriate. The events for whichex ante adjustment may occur include:

if the executive’s actions exposed State Street to inappropriate risks that resulted in a “Significantly Below Expectations” rating on any of the factors on State Street’s corporate multi-factor risk scorecard, which guides State Street’s risk assessment process, or

if the executive incurred significant or repeated compliance or risk-related violations of State Street’s policies

Forfeiture. Before vesting and delivery to the executive, all deferred incentive awards to our NEOs, including performance-based RSUs, DSAs, CRSUs and DVAs, allow reduction or cancellation of the award, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The Committee, in its discretion, determines whether forfeiture is appropriate. The events for which forfeiture may occur include:

if the executive’s actions exposed State Street to inappropriate risks, including in a supervisory capacity, that resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material losses that are or would be substantial in relation to State Street’s or a relevant business unit’s revenue, capital and overall risk tolerance

if the executive engaged in fraud, gross negligence or any misconduct, including in a supervisory capacity, that was materially detrimental to the interests or business reputation of State Street or any of its businesses

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
if the executive engaged in conduct that constituted a violation of State Street policies and procedures or our Standard of Conduct in a manner which either caused or could have caused reputational harm that is material to State Street or either placed or could have placed State Street at material legal or financial risk, or

if, as a result of a material financial restatement contained in an SEC filing, or miscalculation or inaccuracy in the determination of performance metrics, financial results or other criteria used in determining the amount of the award, the executive would have received a smaller or no award

In addition, all outstanding deferred incentive awards are forfeited if an executive’s employment is terminated by State Street for gross misconduct.

Clawback. All amounts delivered to our NEOs as incentive awards, including immediate cash incentive awards, performance-based RSUs, DSAs, CRSUs and DVAs, contain clawback provisions providing for the repayment of those amounts, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of specified events. The Committee, in its discretion, determines whether clawback is appropriate, making that determination within four years (in the case of performance-based RSUs) or three years (in the case of all other incentive awards) of the award’s grant date. The events for which clawback may occur include:

if the executive engaged in fraud or willful misconduct, including in a supervisory capacity, that resulted in financial or reputational harm that is material to State Street and resulted in termination of the executive’s employment

if, as a result of the occurrence of a material financial restatement by State Street contained in a filing with the SEC or miscalculation or inaccuracy in financial results, performance metrics, or other criteria used in determining the amount of the award, the executive would have received a smaller or no award, or

if the executive failed to comply with the terms of any covenant not to compete entered into with State Street

All incentive awards are also subject to any compensation recovery or similar requirements under applicable laws, rules and regulations and related State Street policies and are interpreted and administered accordingly. This approach is intended to comply with applicable banking regulations and regulatory guidance on incentive compensation. In 2019, the Committee reviewed the terms of these recourse mechanisms in light of evolving market practices and added a clawback provision applicable to State Street’s executive officers and other senior leaders providing for the repayment of incentive compensation in the event of prohibited competition during or following employment, as noted above.

Retirement Benefits

Our U.S.-based NEOs are eligible to participate in our 401(k) retirement plan available to our U.S.-based employees generally. The plan includes a matching employer contribution of 6% up to Internal Revenue Code limits.

Because pension benefits under our now-frozen U.S. qualified defined benefit plan were limited by Internal Revenue Code restrictions, we now maintain two frozen supplemental pension programs. One was designed to make up for lost contributions due to Internal Revenue Code limits

Messrs. Erickson and was frozen along with the qualified defined benefit pension plan. Mr. Carp is the only NEO who participatesMaiuri each hold a balance in this plan. The second plan was originally designed to provide Executive Vice Presidents and above with competitive retirement benefits to encourage their continued employment based upon a specified percentage of compensation. It was later changed to include two separate benefit components: (1) a traditional defined benefit component, in which only Mr. Carp participates, which was substantially frozen in 2007 with all accruals ending in 2017; and (2) anonqualified defined contribution component,arrangement, which was substantially frozen in January 2017 following an executive supplemental retirement2017. This plan market analysis, and in which Messrs. Carp and Erickson hold plan balances and in which only Mr. Carp continues to receive contributions (and upon his expected retirement during 2020, no further contributions will be made to any participant under the plan). These plans areis described in further detail below under the headings “2019 Pension Benefits” and “2019heading “2020 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”

Messrs. AristeguietaErickson and EricksonAristeguieta participate in our Hong Kong defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) and Occupational Retirement Scheme Ordinance (ORSO), which are retirement programs available to our Hong Kong employees generally. In aggregate, the participant contributes 5% of his or her base salary and State Street contributes an amount equal to 10% of the participant’s base salary to the MPF and ORSO. Participant and State Street contributions based on the first 5% of monthly base salaries of up to HKD 30,000 HK$ (approximately 3,800 US$)USD 3,900) are contributed to the MPF; participant contributions based on monthly base salary earnings above that limit, and State Street contributions that exceed 5% of the participant’s monthly base salary (or HKD 1,500 HK$ per month if the participant’s monthly base salary is more than 30,000 HK$)HKD 30,000), are contributed to the ORSO.

Deferred Compensation

We maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows our U.S. NEOs and other senior employees to defer base salary and/or a portion of incentive awards otherwise payable in immediate cash. State Street matches all deferrals made under this plan up to a maximum of 5% of a participant’s match-eligible compensation, comprising the lesser of (i) base salary plus immediately payable annual cash incentive compensation or (ii) $500,000, in either case reduced by the applicable Internal Revenue Code cap on annual compensation ($280,000285,000 in 2019)2020). Participants receive a return based on one or more notional investment options selected by the participant. Currently, the investment options available to our NEOs include a money market fund, three index funds and a State Street common stock fund. The nonqualified deferred compensation plan supplements deferrals made under ourtax-qualified 401(k) plan. We provide these nonqualified deferred compensation benefits because many companies of our size provide a similar benefit to their senior employees. This plan is described below under the heading “2019“2020 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”

Change-of-Control Agreements

Under a long-standing program, we havechange-of-control employment agreements in place with each of our NEOs. We provide these agreements because we believe providing some protection in the event of a change of control is necessary to attract and retain high quality executives and to help address potential distractions during the period leading up to a possible change of control. Ourchange-of-control arrangements are further described below under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control as of December 31, 2019.2020.

NEO Compensation Changes for 2020

Effective at the end of the first quarter of 2020, Messrs. O’Hanley and Erickson received base salary increases to $1,000,000 and $700,000, respectively. This is the first increase to Mr. O’Hanley’s base salary since he was appointed as Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2019. The Committee increased target total compensation for 2020 for Messrs. O’Hanley and Erickson to $14,500,000 and $7,000,000, respectively. The Committee also increased target total compensation for 2020 for Mr. Aboaf to $7,000,000. The Committee considers these base salary and target compensation increases to be appropriate based on the recent expansion of each executive’s role described in more detail under “2019 Compensation Decisions—Individual Performance and Compensation Decisions,” as well as relevant internal and external benchmarks.

Other Elements of Our Process

Roles of the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer

The Committee has direct responsibility for our executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs. The Committee performs these responsibilities for the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the other independent directors. In making compensation decisions for the other NEOs, the Committee considers the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, as well as input from the other independent directors.

After establishing each NEO’s total compensation target for 2019,2020, the Committee met nineeight times from July 20192020 through March 20202021 regarding 20192020 NEO compensation and related topics and evaluated a broad range of corporate performance factors, individual performance updates, market information, regulatory updates and input from our shareholder engagement efforts, as well as itsour pay-for-performance practices and the results of our annual shareholder meeting, including“say-on-pay” “say-on-pay” results. The Committee also considered evolving trends, practices, guidance and requirements in the design, regulation, risk-alignment and governance of compensation matters in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. During these meetings, the Committee received regular updates, including from the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, on these and other matters, particularly with respect to the financial services industry.

Peer Group and Benchmarking

The Committee reviews market data from our peer group as one factor evaluated in determining executive compensation. The Committee also considers peer group data in structuring the design of its executive compensation programs.

We consider few companies to be true comparators for the specific scope of our primary business activities, so we include in our peer group our direct competitors and other companies with which we compete in some aspects of our businesses and for executive talent. The companies also vary in size and the nature of applicable regulation, including status (like State Street) as a systemically important financial institution.institution, which results in more stringent capital or other regulatory requirements relative to some of our peers. The Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, periodically reviews the composition of our peer group to ensureevaluate whether it continues to serve as an appropriate market reference for executive compensation purposes. Our generally applicableThe peer group periodically reviewed and approved by the Committee consistsfor use in 2020 consisted of the following 15 firms:

During 2019,2020, the Committee reviewed peer group compensation data from public sources, supplemented with data from multiple compensation surveys. This survey data generally covered large financial services companies with whom we may compete for executive talent. In evaluating the market data, the Committee considers total compensation to consist of base salary and incentive compensation. In addition to the market data, the Committee received regular updates during 20192020 and the first quarter of 20202021 regarding market trends and compensation actions at major financial services institutions.

The Committee recognized that the peer group companies vary in size and business lines and that the nature of executive roles varies by company. Therefore, the Committee did not treat peer group data as definitive when determining executive compensation for 2019.2020. Rather, it referenced peer group compensation data and performance data, but formed its own perspective on compensation for our NEOs based on its subjective evaluation of many factors, including those described under the heading “2019“2020 Compensation Decisions—Total Compensation Approach.”

Compensation Consultant

The Committee directly retains Meridian Compensation Partners to provide independent compensation consulting to the Committee. Meridian regularly participated in meetings and executive sessions of the Committee. Meridian did not provide any other services to State Street during 2019.

2020.

The Committee believes the consultant’s primary representatives advising the Committee should be independent of management and the Committee for the consultant to provide appropriate advice on compensation matters. Therefore, the Committee adopted a policy requiring an annual assessment of compensation consultant independence based on the requirements of the NYSE. In December 2019,2020, the Committee reviewed the independence of Meridian and its primary representatives under the policy. Following its review, the Committee determined the primary representatives of Meridian to be independent and that no conflicts of interest were raised by the services of Meridian or its primary representatives.

The Committee reviews data prepared by Willis Towers Watson PLC and McLagan Partners as part of its consideration of compensation matters. Each of these companies, engaged by our Global Human Resources group based on its specialized expertise in the financial services industry, has provided other services to State Street in the past and may do so in the future.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code generally limits to $1 million the U.S. federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers. The Committee believes that shareholder interests are best served by not restricting its discretion and flexibility in structuring compensation programs, even though such programs will result innon-deductible compensation expenses. Therefore, the Committee has approved 2020 compensation for 2019 for our NEOs that will not be fully deductible.

Human Resources Committee Process Concerning Risk Alignment

For 2019,2020, we continued our focus on aligning incentive compensation with appropriate risk management principles. We provide incentives that are designed not to encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and have established related process controls and oversight. These features include:
Human Resources Committee Interaction and Overlap with Risk Committee and Examining and Audit Committee. Members of the Committee regularly communicate with the Board’s Risk Committee and its Examining and Audit Committee to integrate input from these other committees into compensation decisions. In addition, the current Chair of the Human Resources Committee also serves on the Risk Committee and another member of the Human Resources Committee also serves on the Examining and Audit Committee. Our Lead Director, who serves as a member of the Committee, also participates in meetings of both the Risk Committee and the Examining and Audit Committee as part of her leadership role on the Board.

Corporate Risk Summary Review. The Human Resources Committee periodically reviews a corporate multi-factor risk scorecard, prepared by the Chief Risk Officer and confirmed by the Risk Committee, assessing firm-wide risk in several categories.

Annual Compensation Risk Review.The Committee annually meets with our Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Risk Officer and Chief Compliance Officer to evaluate our compensation programs and review an assessment of the design and operation of State Street’s incentive compensation system in providing risk-taking incentives that are consistent with the organization’s safety and soundness, as described in more detail below under the heading “Alignment of Incentive Compensation and Risk.”

Risk-Based Adjustments to Incentive Compensation. We use atwo-pronged process for risk-based adjustments to incentive compensation awards for material risk-takers. This process allows for, as appropriate, both: (1) adjustments at the time awards are made (“ex ante” adjustments) and (2) adjustments after the awards are made (“ex post” adjustments) through recoupment of incentive compensation that has already been awarded via forfeiture (before vesting and delivery) or clawback (after vesting and delivery). For more information, see the discussion under “Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms,” above.

Emphasis on Deferral and Equity-Based Compensation. We maintain significant levels of deferred compensation and equity-based compensation for our executives and we continue to deliver a higher percentage of our NEOs’ incentive compensation in the form of deferred compensation relative to our peer group. Combined, these elements align an executive’s compensation with the risks and performance results experienced by our shareholders. The high level of deferral places a significant amount of compensation at risk forex postadjustments in specified circumstances.

Metrics and Targets for Performance-Based RSUs Aligned to Long-Term Goals. We deliver a substantial proportion of equity compensation for our executives in performance-based RSUs, aligning realized pay outcomes with our long-term strategy. Metrics used in our performance-based RSUs directly align NEO compensation with our goals. Each year, we assess target and payout ranges for new awards and set targets that the Committee believes are challenging, but achievable, which mitigates excessive risk-taking incentives. In setting targets and payout ranges, the Committee considers publicly-stated guidance and projections, current-year results and peer company financial results, among other factors.

Executive Equity Ownership Guidelines, Practices and Policies

State Street believes

We believe executive stock ownership aligns our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. It also incentivizes our executives to meet our financial, business and risk management objectives. Therefore, we maintain the following practices, policies and guidelines:

Stock Ownership Guidelines. Our stock ownership guidelines apply to all of our executive officers who are members of our Management Committee, including our NEOs. These guidelines require executives to own shares of common stock with a value equal to a multiple of base salary as shown below. Guideline levels are phased in over a period of five years, with the first year starting on the first January 1 after the person is appointedbecomes subject to the Management Committee.guidelines. The executive is expected to attain the ownership level ratably over five years and is deemed to satisfy the guideline if that ratable ownership level is met.

State Street Corporation

    2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

Our Stock Ownership Guidelines also include a holding requirement. Under this requirement, during the five-yearphase-in period, each executive must hold 50% of the number of net shares received from a vesting event if the ownership requirement is not met. Following the five yearfive-year phase-in period, if the ownership guideline is not met by an executive, that executive must hold 100% of the number of net shares received from a vesting event until the ownership guideline is satisfied. As of March 2, 2020,8, 2021, the holding requirement does not apply to any of the NEOs as each exceeds their full (not ratable) ownership guideline.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

This section provides an estimate under applicable SEC regulations of the ratio of total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer to the median of total compensation for our other employees. The methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates we used in identifying our median employee and calculating that employee’s total compensation are set forth below. This methodology may differ from that applied by other companies, including other financial services companies, under applicable SEC regulations. As a result, the information may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by other companies. In addition, because the value of health and welfare benefits paid by State Street can vary significantly, depending on the employee’s annual benefits elections, we decided to exclude the value of these benefits from the total compensation of the median employee and Mr. O’Hanley. Accordingly, the methodology differs from the methodology we used for 2018, which included health and welfare benefits.

For 2019:

2020:

the estimated median of the annual total compensation of all employees of State Street (other than Mr. O’Hanley), was $56,610;$59,199; and

the annual total compensation of Mr. O’Hanley was $8,699,401

$9,309,980

Based on the foregoing, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. O’Hanley to the median of the annual total compensation of all other employees is estimated to be 154157 to 1.

As permitted under SEC rules, we are using the same median employee for our 2020 CEO Pay Ratio calculation as was used for the 2019 pay ratio calculation since there has been no change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure.
We identified our median employee for 2019 based on our employee population as of December 1, 2019. State Street employees are generally eligible for base pay and incentive compensation. We therefore analyzed our employee population based on these compensation elements for the full year 2019. We annualized the base pay of all full and part-time employees in our employee population who were hired during 2019. Similarly, for all such employees who did not receive incentive compensation in 2019 due solely to their date of hire, we used a consistent methodology to impute annualized incentive compensation based on each employee’s level and function. We calculated the median gross pay (as described above) and selected the twelve closest employees to that value to further analyze. We then identified an employee from this group, who was reasonably representative of our workforce and whose pay was a reasonable estimate of the median pay at our organization, as the median employee. For the median employee, we combined all forms of compensation that would have been reported in the “Total” column (column (j)) of the Summary Compensation Table had disclosure of the median employee’s compensation been required in that table.

For Mr. O’Hanley, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column (column (j)) of ourthe Summary Compensation Table.

Alignment of Incentive Compensation and Risk

We align incentive compensation with appropriate risk management principles, such as providing incentives designed not to encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and establishing additional process controls and oversight where appropriate. We utilize broad and integrated processes to maintain this alignment, including to:

conduct risk-based reviews of incentive plan design

identify individuals whose normal activities may involve material risk-taking

apply risk-based adjustments to compensation

implement specific Board committee review of selected control function compensation (e.g., Board-level Risk Committee review of Chief Risk Officer and Enterprise Risk Management department compensation)

Risk-Based Review of Incentive Plan Design

• Incentive compensation arrangements are designed through consultation with the relevant business units, including a formalized requirement for risk review

• A management committee (the Incentive Compensation Control Committee, or ICCC) comprising generally of senior representatives of our risk management and internal control functions assesses all incentive compensation arrangements to promote their consistency with the safety and soundness of State Street and with applicable regulations and guidance

• Both the Human Resources Committee and a management committee focusing on compliance and ethics (the Compliance and Ethics Committee) receive and review a report containing the ICCC’s risk assessment of the design and operation of State Street’s incentive compensation system in providing incentives consistent with the organization’s safety and soundness

• The Human Resources Committee interacts closely with our Risk Committee and Examining and Audit Committee, and our independent Lead Director is expected to attend all Committee meetings, providing governance continuity from both a compensation-risk perspective and also from a broader risk management perspective. The Human Resources Committee also annually meets with our Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Risk Officer and Chief Compliance Officer to evaluate the incentive compensation plans for all State Street employees, including the NEOs, relative to risk management principles

Identification of Material Risk-Takers

• Through a process led by our Enterprise Risk Management group, we identify the population of individuals whose normal activities may involve material risk-taking (“material risk-takers”)

• Our internal compensation arrangements with these employees provide for risk-based adjustments to compensation if required, as described below

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

LOGO       

Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for Material Risk Takers

• Incentive compensation awarded to material risk-takers is subject to risk-based adjustments both before and after the compensation is awarded (ex ante andex post adjustments, respectively)

• Ex ante adjustments are guided by a corporate multi-factor risk scorecard, prepared by the Chief Risk Officer and confirmed by the Risk Committee, assessing firm-wide risk in several categories

• Ex post adjustments include a forfeiture provision, which operates to reduce or cancel the amount remaining to be paid under the relevant award if the Committee determines that the actions of the material risk-taker exposed State Street to inappropriate risks that resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material losses that are or would be substantial in relation to State Street’s or a relevant business unit’s revenue, capital and overall risk tolerance

• Additionalex post adjustment mechanisms, including our misconduct and financial restatement-related forfeiture and clawback provisions, are applicable to all Executive Vice Presidents, including our NEOs. See above under the heading “Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms”

Risk-Based Adjustments to Compensation for All Employees

• Results of business unit- and corporate function-level risk assessments are used as an input to allocate bonus pools to each business unit and corporate function, as well as for furthersub-allocations

• Poor risk performance, including significant or repeated compliance or risk-related violations of State Street’s policies, may result inex ante adjustments to an individual’s incentive compensation as part of a progressive discipline structure to hold individual employees accountable for their performance

• All outstanding performance-based RSUs, DSAs and DVAs are subject to forfeiture if an employee is terminated for gross misconduct


LOGO       

Board Committee Review of Selected Control Function Compensation

• Committees of the Board of Directors with oversight of an area managed by specific control functions assess the performance of, and individual compensation recommendations for, the heads of the relevant control function and review the compensation for the entire control function

• Results of the Board-level committee assessments are reported to the Human Resources Committee as an input into final compensation determinations

• This process provides the relevant committee with additional perspective on the performance of the relevant control function and whether that function is being allocated appropriate resources and compensation

As a result of these reviews and processes, we believe that our compensation policies and practices for employees do not promote excessive risk taking and do not provide incentives to create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Amounts represent the grant date fair value of DSA and performance-based RSUs. The fair value of each award is computed in accordance with GAAP (FASB ASC 718), using the assumptions stated in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. The amounts included for the 20192020 performance-based RSUs reflect target level performance, as reflected in the 2019“2020 Grants of Plan-Based AwardsAwards” table. Based on the grant date value and assuming that performance results in the maximum number of shares vesting, each NEO’s 2020 performance-based RSUs would have a maximum payout as follows: Mr. O’Hanley – 132,297 shares and value of $8,250,041; Mr. Aboaf – 54,122 shares and value of $3,375,048; Mr. Aristeguieta – 65,426 shares and value of $4,079,965; Mr. Erickson – 56,046 shares and value of $3,495,029; and Mr. Maiuri – 58,211 shares and value of $3,630,038. Based on the grant date value and assuming that performance results in the maximum number of shares vesting, each NEO’s 2019 performance-based RSUs would have a maximum payout as follows: Mr. O’Hanley – 66,666 shares and value of $4,433,956; Mr. Aboaf – 34,967 shares and value of $2,325,655; Mr. Aristeguieta – 67,017 shares and value of $3,527,105; Mr. Carp – 32,205 shares and value of $2,141,955; and Mr. Erickson – 30,902 shares and value of $2,055,292.

Because our deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market earnings, no earnings are included in this column. The amounts in this column represent the change in the actuarial present value of the accumulated benefits under our qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans. The plans were frozen as of December 31, 2010 (December 31, 2017 for the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan defined benefit provisions(ESRP-DB)), and therefore there were no accruals during 2019. Mr. Carp is the only NEO with accrued benefits under our defined benefit pension plans. For 2019, the change in value presented in the Summary Compensation Table above reflects a year-over-year update to applicable actuarial calculation assumptions from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019, including a decrease in the discount rate assumption for the State Street Retirement Plan (Retirement Plan), the Management Supplemental Retirement Plan (MSRP) and theESRP-DB, as well as formula-driven changes due to a participant being older and closer to retirement. These updates resulted in increases in the actuarial present value of Mr. Carp’s benefits totaling $1,205,255, of which $289,094 is attributable to Mr. Carp’s age in proximity to the normal retirement age of 65 and $916,161 is attributable to changes in assumptions. The change in pension value presented in the Summary Compensation Table above represents actuarial calculations based upon assumptions on the relevant dates to the extent relevant factors are unknown. The actuarial present value of the accumulated pension benefits calculated on future dates may increase or decrease, based on assumptions applicable on those future dates and on formula-driven changes due to the executive’s age at the time.

    2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

The Retirement Plan, a qualified defined benefit plan, was open to all

State Street employees after one year of service until new participation ended and it was frozen to new accruals as of January 1, 2008. Since January 1, 1990, the Retirement Plan has determined benefits using a cash balance formula. Under this formula, a notional account for each eligible participant was increased annually by both interest credits and pay credits. Interest credits are made at a specified rate and pay credits were based upon a percentage of the participant’s pay for each applicable calendar year until the plan was frozen effective January 1, 2008. The pay credit percentages were 4.0% for the first year of participation increasing to 11.25% for the thirtieth year and zero thereafter. Eligible pay included a participant’s salary, overtime, cash-based incentive compensation and commissions.

The normal retirement age under the Retirement Plan is 65, although earlier retirement options are available. The Retirement Plan has a three-year vesting provision. Participants are entitled to receive their vested account balances or equivalent annuities any time following termination of employment up through normal retirement age.

To comply with federal tax rules, the Retirement Plan limits the benefit that a participant may receive and the amount of compensation that may be taken into account for any participant in any year. Consequently, State Street has maintained a supplemental retirement plan, the MSRP, designed to provide affected employees the benefits that would be payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The MSRP was frozen in the same manner as described above for the Retirement Plan.

State Street also maintains the ESRP, which provided officers at the Executive Vice President level with additional retirement benefits to encourage their continued employment. The ESRP provides two separate benefit components: theCorporation ESRP-DB,66 which was substantially frozen effective January 1, 2008 and completely frozen as of December 31, 2017, and a defined contribution component(ESRP-DC), which was frozen effective January 1, 2017 with the exception of Mr. Carp whoseESRP-DC benefit continues based upon the terms of his employment agreement. For additional details about theESRP-DC, refer to the “2019 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table below. Officers became eligible to participate in theESRP-DB upon their appointment to an eligible position. As of December 31, 2019, only Mr. Carp was credited with benefits under theESRP-DB. In general, theESRP-DB (when expressed as a life annuity commencing at age 65) accrued at the annual rate of 2.5% of eligible earnings (generally base salary plus incentive compensation), up to a maximum of 50% of eligible earnings. This formula benefit is offset by pension benefits from State Street or other sources, including a former employer, but excluding Social Security. For participants who retire early, the defined benefit component is generally reduced by a factor of 3% for each year under the age of 65. If a participant becomes disabled before retirement eligibility, theESRP-DB pays a disability benefit equal to the participant’s accrued defined benefit component including offsets, reduced for early retirement age and multiplied by a percentage determined by dividing the sum of the participant’s age and years of service by 85. If a participant dies before retirement eligibility, theESRP-DB pays a death benefit equal toone-half of the benefit calculated under the disability provision. If a participant dies after becoming retirement eligible, the participant’s beneficiary will be entitled to a lump sum equal to the actuarial equivalent of 50% of the accruedESRP-DB benefit amount otherwise payable to the participant as of the date of death, further providing full vesting. In the event of an eligible disability following retirement eligibility, theESRP-DB pays a disability benefit equal to the participant’s otherwise payable accrued benefit as of the date of the eligible disability, actuarially converted to three equal installments. The first installment would be payable by the later of the end of the year or the fifteenth day of the third month coinciding with or following the eligible disability date. The second and third installments would be payable on the first and second anniversaries of the first installment, assuming continued disability eligibility.

Effective January 1, 2008, theESRP-DB was substantially frozen. However,ESRP-DB benefits continued to receive a 3% index each year as acost-of-living adjustment through December 31, 2017.

TheESRP-DB requires a participant to attain at least age 53 and have a combined age and service of at least 60 at termination of employment; otherwise, theESRP-DB benefits are forfeited, except in the event of death or a disability.ESRP-DB benefits vest in three stages:one-third at age 53;two-thirds at age 54; and full vesting at age 55. VestedESRP-DB benefits are payable in three equal installments on each of thesix-month,one-year andtwo-year anniversaries of the participant’s termination of employment. However, outstanding benefits are forfeited if the participant engages in certain competitive activities within two years of termination of employment. Further,ESRP-DB benefits are subject to forfeiture if the participant is terminated for certain willful failures to perform job duties, or for certain willful illegal conduct or gross misconduct.

Based on age and service to State Street as of December 31, 2019, Mr. Carp is fully vested underESRP-DB early retirement terms resulting in a lump sum value of $8,465,379 if he had retired on December 31, 2019. Mr. Carp is also fully vested under the early retirement terms of

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control as of December 31, 2019

2020

Shown and described below are certain potential payments that would have been made to an NEO if the NEO’s employment had terminated on December 31, 20192020 under various scenarios but excluding pension benefits or nonqualified deferred compensation that may be paid to an NEO upon termination as described in the “2019 Pension Benefits” and “2019“2020 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” sections above.section. All U.S. severance payments due to individuals identified as “specified employees” following a separation from service are delayed untilsix-months after separation in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Our NEOs do not receive any payments or continued vesting of deferred incentive awards if their employment is terminated for gross misconduct, and all deferred incentive awards are forfeited if an NEO voluntarily terminates employment prior to reaching age 55 and completing 5 years of service. Only Mr. CarpMessrs. O’Hanley and Maiuri had satisfied this retirement provision as of December 31, 2019.2020. In addition, all outstanding deferred incentive awards shown below remain subject to our recourse mechanisms described above under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms.” The tables below are intended only for illustrative purposes; the rights and benefits due to any executive upon an actual termination of employment or change of control can only be determined at the time of the payment, based on circumstances then existing and the arrangements then in effect.

Involuntary Termination without Cause: Our NEOs are covered by State Street’s U.S. severance plan, with the exception of Mr. Erickson who is covered by the Hong Kong severance plan. The U.S. and Hong Kong severance plans provide benefits to all eligible employees upon specified involuntary separations from service due to an organizational change, such as a reduction in force. Both the U.S. and Hong Kong severance plans require employees to execute a separation agreement and release acceptable to State Street in order to receive benefits under the plan. Amounts above assume a qualifying termination of employment on December 31, 2019.2020. For these purposes, the severance amounts are not discounted for payment over time, and health and welfare benefits are valued at 20192020 rates.

Cash severance: The U.S. severance plan provides for a cash payment amount equal to a specified number of weeks of base salary based on employment title. These severance benefits are subject to the employee’s compliance with restrictive covenants that are determined at the time of separation, but typically include non-solicitation for a period of 18 months following termination and an ongoing obligation of confidentiality and non-disparagement. For all eligible U.S. employees who hold an Executive Vice President title, including our NEOs, the plan provides for a severance period equal to three weeks of base salary per completed year of service with a minimum of 12 weeks of base pay and a maximum of 52 weeks of base salary. The Hong Kong severance plan provides eligible employees with a severance period equal to one month of base pay per completed year of service with a maximum of 12 months of base salary. These severance benefits are subject to the employee’s compliance with restrictive covenants that are determined at the time of separation, but typically include non-solicitation for a period of six-months following termination and an ongoing obligation of confidentiality and non-disparagement.

The Board will be voted for the approval of this advisory proposal. We believebelieves that shareholder feedback on executive compensation is important and havehas provided shareholders the opportunity to vote annually on an advisory executive compensation proposal since 2009. Over the past several years shareholders have consistently approved the“say-on-pay” vote, and in 2019, over 90% of the votes cast supported the proposal.

State Street develops and implements a compensation program for our NEOs and other executive officers which aims to:

attract, retain and motivate superior executives and drive strong leadership behaviors

reward those executives for meeting or exceeding individual and company financial and business objectives

drive long-term shareholder value and financial stability

align incentive compensation with the performance results experienced by our shareholders through the use of significant levels of deferred equity-based compensation

provide equal pay for work of equal value

achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values

For each NEO, the Human Resources Committee determines the appropriate level of total compensation for the year. This determination is based on a subjective evaluation of many factors, including corporate performance, individual performance and market, regulatory and shareholder considerations. Along with the“say-on-pay” advisory proposal, we also engage with several of our largest shareholders to receive their perspectives on our compensation programs and governance practices. For 2019, we engaged or requested engagement with shareholders representing more than half of our outstanding common stock. Our compensation practices for NEOs, including the framework used by the Human Resources Committee in evaluating and making 2019 compensation decisions, are described above under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

The advisory proposal is provided in accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and isnon-binding. The outcome of this advisory proposal does not overrule any decision by, create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of, or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for State Street or the Board of Directors (or any of its committees). Though the vote isnon-binding, the Human Resources Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote on this advisory proposal when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

More information about executive compensation at State Street, including detail on the Human Resources Committee of the Board’s process for determining executive pay, is described under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

The text of the proposal presented for your approval is as follows:

VOTED:

That the compensation of State Street’s executives, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules, as set forth in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation,” including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related material, is approved; provided, that, this resolution shall not be binding on State Street’s Board of Directors or any of its committees and may not be construed as overruling any decision by the Board of Directors or any of its committees.

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
Report of the Examining and Audit Committee

The Examining and Audit Committee consists entirely of members who meet the independence requirements of the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC, as determined by the Board of Directors. Further, all of the members of the Committee are financially literate, based upon their education and experience, as such qualification under the listing standards of the NYSE is interpreted by the Board. The Board has determined, based upon education and experience as a principal accounting or financial officer or public accountant, or experience actively supervising a principal accounting or financial officer or public accountant, that each member of the Committee satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert,” as set out in the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, and has accounting or related financial management expertise, as such qualification under the listing standards of the NYSE is interpreted by the Board. The Committee operates under a written charter that is reviewed and approved annually by the Board. The Committee furnishes the following report:

On behalf of State Street’s Board, the Committee oversees the operation of a system of internal control designed to ensure the integrity of State Street’s financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies and the qualifications, performance and independence of State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm. Additionally, the Committee oversees the Company’s efforts to promote and advance a culture of compliance and ethical business practices including the Company’s efforts to identify, manage and eliminate material conduct and reputational issues. It is management’s responsibility to prepare State Street’s consolidated financial statements and establish and maintain internal control over financial reporting. The role of the independent registered public accountant is to independently audit the consolidated financial statements and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or PCAOB.

Consistent with this oversight responsibility, the Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 and their assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.2020. EY, State Street’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued their unqualified report on State Street’s consolidated financial statements and the design and operating effectiveness of State Street’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Committee has discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding EY’s communications with the Committee concerning independence. The Committee has considered whether EY’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with its independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that State Street’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, be included in State Street’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.

Item 4 – Shareholder Proposal Requesting that the Board Oversee a Racial Equity Audit

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote
AGAINST
this proposal (Item 4 on your proxy card)

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the shareholder proposal described below. Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board will be voted against the shareholder proposal.
Service Employees International Union Pension Plans Master Trust, of 1800 Massachusetts Ave NW, Suite 301, Washington DC, 20036, the beneficial owner of more than $2,000 of State Street’s common stock entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting, has submitted the proposal as set forth below for inclusion in the proxy statement. The Board of Directors disclaims any responsibility for the content of the proposal and the supporting statement. The text of the proposal and supporting statement, as furnished to us by the proponent, are as follows:
RESOLVED that shareholders of State Street Corp. (“State Street”) urge the Board of Directors to oversee a racial equity audit analyzing State Street’s impacts on nonwhite stakeholders and communities of color. Input from civil rights organizations, employees, and clients should be considered in determining the specific matters to be analyzed. A report on the audit, prepared at reasonable cost and omitting confidential and proprietary information, should be publicly disclosed on State Street’s website.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
High-profile police killings of black people - most recently George Floyd – have galvanized the movement for racial justice. That movement, together with the disproportionate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, have focused the attention of media, the public and policy makers on systemic racism, racialized violence and inequities in employment, health care, and the criminal justice system.
State Street CEO Ronald O’Hanley responded to these events by avowing that State Street “stand[s] with the countless thousands” who “are committed to ending the violence and bigotry that degrades our common humanity.” O’Hanley stated that “we need to begin to answer the ‘what must we do’ question by focusing on our firm and how we make it better.”(1)
Currently, State Street’s board has no black directors(2) and none of the company’s Executive Leaders are black.(3) In 2017, State Street paid $5 million in back pay to settle Department of Labor charges, based on a pay equity analysis, that the company paid top female and black workers less than top male and white workers.(4)
State Street has notified portfolio companies that it expects them to “articulate their risks, goals and strategy as related to racial and ethnic diversity,” including workforce diversity data, starting in 2021. The company indicated that it is “prepared to use [its] proxy voting authority to hold companies accountable for meeting [its] expectations.”(5) A 2020 report suggests that proxy voting would be a useful subject for a racial equity analysis: It noted that State Street’s proxy voting guidelines contain no explicit mention of race, referring generally to “board diversity,” and found that State Street often did not use its clout as a significant owner to advance racial justice. State Street supported all directors at 60% of companies with all-white boards and backed two directors with problematic histories regarding racial issues.
State Street is a member of the Securities Industry Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”).(6) SIFMA lobbied most frequently in the current Congress on the Wall Street Tax Act of 2019, which would tax financial transactions.(7) Supporters argue that the revenue raised through the tax could fund measures such as student loan forgiveness and the Green New Deal,(8) which would mitigate impacts of systemic racism.(9)
We urge State Street to address the “what must we do” question by evaluating its behavior through a racial equity lens to identify how it contributes to systemic racism and could begin to help dismantle it.

From Fearless Girl to our July 2020 publicly-announced 10 Actions to Address Racism and Inequality, State Street has taken significant and meaningful steps toward improving itself, the portfolio companies in which State Street Global Advisors invests, the communities in which we operate and society more generally.
The proposal requests that the Board oversee a racial equity audit, a process we have already begun in furtherance of our 10 Actions program:
MLT’s Black Equity at Work Certification. In February 2021 we were announced as one of 25 companies joining the inaugural cohort in the newly launched Black Equity at Work Certification offered by Management Leadership for Tomorrow, a national non-profit working to transform the leadership pipeline and increase access to the American Dream. This results-driven program establishes a clear and comprehensive standard for certification and provides a rigorous, results-oriented approach toward addressing the persistent inequities faced by Black professionals across corporate America.
State Street Foundation Audit. We have engaged an external consultant to audit the State Street Foundation’s current grants portfolio to assess the impact and demographic makeup of grant recipients. In connection with this effort, we plan to update the Foundation’s grantmaking guidelines during 2021 to establish combatting racism as a clear funding priority, building upon our longstanding philanthropic focus of addressing socioeconomic and racial inequities in education.
The actions we are undertaking to advance racial equity more broadly, including those specifically contemplated by our 10 Actions program (available at https://www.statestreet.com/values/inclusion-diversity.html), include:
We are taking steps to enhance our own transparency regarding racial equity and to improve our corporate governance.
Board Composition and New Director Recruitment. We recently amended the charter for our Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Corporate Governance Guidelines to formally reflect our existing practices of selecting director candidates from a diverse pool and considering diverse perspectives, experiences and other characteristics such as race/ ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation and nationality for new director candidates. Detailed information regarding the diverse composition of our director nominees is included on page 7 of this proxy statement.
Public Disclosure of EEO-1 Data. We publicly disclose our EEO-1 survey data in our annual ESG Report (formerly the Corporate Responsibility Report), available on our website at https://www.statestreet.com/values/corporate-responsibility.html.
SSGA is building on the success of its prior engagement efforts to improve gender diversity at portfolio companies to address racial and ethnic diversity.
Expansion of Voting Guidelines to Address Racial and Ethnic Diversity. Following a letter it sent to portfolio companies in August 2020, in January 2021 SSGA outlined its enhanced expectations around racial and ethnic diversity. Under its new voting guidelines:
In 2021, SSGA will vote against the Chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee at companies in the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 that do not disclose the racial and ethnic composition of their boards.
Beginning in 2022, SSGA will vote against the Chair of the Compensation Committee at companies in the S&P 500 that do not disclose their EEO-1 Survey responses.
Beginning in 2022, SSGA will vote against the Chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee at companies in the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 that do not have at least one director from an underrepresented community on their boards.
Increased Transparency Regarding Shareholder Proposals. In the third quarter of 2020, SSGA published a voting framework describing how it will analyze and vote on racial diversity-related shareholder proposals.
Targeted Engagement Campaign. SSGA has identified the largest U.S.- and UK-based employers in a targeted engagement campaign to monitor human capital management disclosures and risk management practices, including racial and ethnic diversity practices.
We are expanding our partnerships with other organizations dedicated to addressing diversity, equity and inclusion.
CEO Pledge for Diversity. In 2019 we renewed our CEO Pledge for Diversity, an initiative we initially joined in 2017 relating to diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Best Practices for Board Oversight. SSGA has expanded its focus to include the governance of social risks and has partnered with external firms to identify best practices for board oversight of racial diversity and equity.
In light of the broad-based dedication to racial equity that State Street has demonstrated and the concrete steps it is currently taking, including its participation in the inaugural cohort of MLT’s Black Equity at Work Certification and the audit currently being conducted by the State Street Foundation, the Board does not believe shareholder support of this proposal would result in any more meaningful progress regarding this important set of issues.
Accordingly, while acknowledging and agreeing with the importance of the proposal’s objective to promote racial equity, the Board recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this proposal.

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT


  General Information(cont.)

    2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

General Information (cont.)
What are the Board’s recommendations on how to vote my shares?

The Board of Directors recommends a vote:

Item 1—FOR election of the 12 nominees named herein as directors (page 19)
Item 2—FOR approval of the advisory proposal on executive compensation (page 75)
Item 3—FOR ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (page 78)
Item 4—AGAINST the shareholder proposal (page 79)

Item 1—FOR election of the 11 nominees named herein as directors (page 16)

Item 2—FOR approval of the advisory proposal on executive compensation (page 69)

Item 3—FOR ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (page 72)

Additionally, if other matters are presented at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy card as proxy holders are authorized to vote on the additional matters as they determine.

Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies by State Street?

State Street will pay the cost for the solicitation of proxies by the Board. The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail and electronic means. State Street has retained Georgeson Inc.Morrow Sodali, LLC to aid in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $19,500,$17,500, plus expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by employees of State Street and its subsidiaries personally, or by mail, telephone, fax ore-mail, email, without any remuneration to such employees other than their regular compensation. State Street will reimburse brokers, banks, custodians, other nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding these materials to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies.

What is householding?

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be “householding” our proxy statements, annual reports and related materials. “Householding” means that only one copy of these documents may have been sent to multiple shareholders in one household. If you would like to receive your own set of State Street’s proxy statements, annual reports and related materials, or if you share an address with another State Street shareholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of these documents, please contact your bank, broker or other nominee.

May I change my vote?

If you are a registered shareholder, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Secretary in writing, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by submitting an electronic proxy as of a later date or by virtually attending the meeting and voting online during the meeting. If your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions on changing your vote.

What constitutes a quorum?

A majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter constitutes a quorum for action on that matter. A share once represented for any purpose at the annual meeting will be deemed present for determination of a quorum for the entire meeting and for any adjournment of the meeting; unless (1) a shareholder attends solely to object to lack of notice, defective notice or the conduct of the meeting on other grounds and the shareholder does not vote the shares or otherwise consent that they are to be deemed present or (2) in the case of an adjournment, a new record date is set for that adjourned meeting. Shares present virtually during the annual meeting will be considered shares represented in person at the meeting.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Since it is an uncontested election of directors at the annual meeting, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast “for” the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” the nominee’s election (Item 1). If the votes cast “against” the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “for” the nominee’s election, the nominee will not be elected to the Board of Directors. However, under Massachusetts law, if a nominee that is an incumbent director is not elected to the Board of Directors, that incumbent director will “hold over” in office as a director until his or her successor is elected or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in an uncontested election of directors, any incumbent director who does not receive more votes cast “for” his or her election than votes cast “against” his or her election will submit to the Board a letter of resignation for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. After consideration, that Committee would make a recommendation to the Board on action to be taken regarding the resignation. No such tendered resignation will be deemed effective unless and until it is accepted by action of the Board.

2021 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT


  General Information(cont.)

    2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

General Information (cont.)
The actions concerning the advisory proposal on executive compensation (Item 2) and, the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 3) and the shareholder proposal (Item 4) will be approved if the votes cast “for” the action exceed the votes cast “against” the action. Items 2, 3 and 34 arenon-binding proposals.

How is the vote counted?

Votes cast by proxy or at the annual meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by State Street to act as tellers for the meeting.

“Abstentions” and “brokernon-votes” are not counted as votes with respect to any of the items to be voted on at the annual meeting.

Stock exchange rules permit a broker to vote shares held in a brokerage account on “routine” proposals if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Stock exchange and SEC rules, however, prohibit brokers from voting uninstructed shares in the election of directors and executive compensation matters. Accordingly, of the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, we believe the only “routine” proposal is the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 3).

Where is the meeting held?

The annual meeting will be conducted via live audio webcast at:www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2020STT2021.

Due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19)continuing COVID-19 public health crisis, out of caution for the health and safety of our shareholders, employees and directors, the annual meeting of shareholders will be conducted online via live audio webcast. Holding the annual meeting of shareholders in person could pose a risk to the health and safety of our shareholders, employees and directors, and as a result, we have decided to hold the annual meeting virtually. You will be able to participate, submit questions and vote your shares electronically. To do so, you will need to visitwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2020STT2021 and use the 16-digit control number provided with the voting instructions.

Please allow ample time for the online check-in process. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the login page hosting the virtual meeting.

How do I submit a question at the annual meeting?

If you wish to submit a question on the day of the annual meeting, beginning at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time on May 20, 2020,19, 2021, you may login and ask a question atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2020STT2021. The annual meeting will be governed by our meeting guidelines posted atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2021www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2020 in advance of the meeting. The meeting guidelines will address the ability of shareholders to ask questions during the meeting, including rules on permissible topics, and rules for how questions and comments will be recognized and disclosed to meeting participants.

What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

May I see a list of shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting as of the record date?

A list of our registered shareholders as of the close of business on the record date will be made available to shareholders during the meeting atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STT2020STT2021. To access such list of registered holders beginning April 10, 20208, 2021 and until the meeting, shareholders should email State Street Investor Relations at IR@statestreet.com.

What are my rights as a participant in the Salary Savings Program?

As part of its employee benefits program, State Street maintains a 401(k) plan called the Salary Savings Program, or SSP. If you participate in the SSP and have invested part or all of your account in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan fund, you are considered a named fiduciary and may direct the voting of the State Street Corporation common stock allocated to your account as of the record date.

You may give direction on the Internet, by telephone or by mail. If you do not provide timely direction as to how to vote your allocated share, your allocated share will be voted on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants. If a matter arises at

You must direct your vote in advance of the annual meeting so that the trustee, the registered owner of all of the shares held in the SSP, can vote in a timely manner. Regardless of what method you use to direct the trustee, the trustee must receive your direction no later than 11:59

    2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT  

Appendix A

Excerpt from State Street’s Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board will have a majority of directors who meet the criteria for independence required by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) corporate governance standards. The Board has adopted the following guidelines to assist it in determining director independence in accordance with the NYSE standards. To be considered independent, the Board must determine, after review and recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board has established the following categorical guidelines to assist it in determining independence:

a.
a.

A director will not be independent if he or she does not satisfy any of the bright-line tests set forth in Section 303A.02 (b)303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

b.
b.

The following commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would impair a director’s independence: (i) if the State Street director or a member of such director’s immediate family (as defined in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) is a director or owner of less than a 10% ownership interest of another company (including atax-exempt organization) that does business with the Company; provided such State Street director is not involved in negotiating the transaction; (ii) if the State Street director or a member of such director’s immediate family is a current employee, consultant or executive officer of another company (including atax-exempt organization) that does business with the Company; provided that, (x) where the State Street director is an employee, consultant or executive officer of the other company, neither the director nor any of his or her immediate family members receives any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (y) the annual payments to, or payments from, the Company from, or to, the other company, for property or services in any completed fiscal year in the last three fiscal years are equal to or less than the greater of $1 million, or two percent of the consolidated gross annual revenues of the other company during the last completed fiscal year of the other company; and (iii) if the State Street director or member of such director’s immediate family is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer of atax-exempt organization that receives discretionary charitable contributions from the Company; provided such State Street director and his or her Immediate Family Members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction; and further provided that, where the director or immediate family member is an executive officer of thetax-exempt organization, the amount of discretionary charitable contributions in any completed fiscal year in the last three fiscal years are not more than the greater of $1 million, or two percent of that organization’s consolidated gross revenues in the last completed fiscal year of that organization (in applying this test, State Street’s automatic matching of employee charitable contributions to a charitable organization will not be included in the amount of State Street’s discretionary contributions).

c.
c.

The following commercial relationships will not be considered to be a material relationship that would impair a director’s independence: lending relationships, deposit relationships or other banking relationships (such as depository, transfer, registrar, indenture trustee, trusts and estates, private banking, investment management, custodial, securities brokerage, cash management and similar services) between State Street and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a company with which the director or such director’s immediate family member is affiliated by reason of being a director, employee, consultant, executive officer, general partner or an equity holder thereof, on the other, provided that: (i) such relationships are in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and are on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions withnon-affiliated persons; (ii) with respect to a loan by the Company to such company or its subsidiaries, such loan has been made in compliance with applicable law, including Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such loan did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features, and no event of default has occurred under the loan; and (iii) payments to the Company for property or services (including fees and interest on loans but not including principal repayments) from such company does not exceed the limit provided in (b)(ii) above.

If a relationship is described by the categorical guidelines contained in both paragraphs b. and c. above, it will not be considered to be a material relationship that would impair a director’s independence if it satisfies all of the applicable requirements of either paragraph b. or c. For relationships not covered by the categorical guidelines (either because they involve a different type of relationship or a different dollar amount), the determination of whether the relationship is material or not, and therefore whether the director would be independent or not, shall be made by the directors who satisfy the independence guidelines set forth above. The Company will explain in the next proxy statement the basis for any Board determination that a relationship was immaterial despite the fact that it did not meet the categorical guidelines of immateriality set forth above.

Reconciliation ofNon-GAAP Measures

Financial Information

In addition to presenting State Street’s financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, management also presents certain financial information on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP. This latter basis is anon-GAAP presentation. In general, ournon-GAAP financial results adjust selected GAAP-basis financial results to exclude the impact of revenue and expenses outside of State Street’s normal course of business or other notable items, such as acquisition and restructuring charges, repositioning charges and gains/losses on sales. Management believes that this presentation of financial information facilitates an investor’s and the Committee’s further understanding and analysis of State Street’s financial performance and trends with respect to State Street’s business operations fromperiod-to-period, including providing additional insight into our underlying margin and profitability.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP.
