On July 19, 2007, the Registrant conducted a conference call and webcast with respect to results of operations for second quarter 2007 for The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (“BNY”) and Mellon Financial Corporation (“MFC”). BNY and MFC merged with the Registrant on July 1, 2007, with the Registrant being the surviving entity.
