Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 Form 11-K ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal year ended: December 31, 1997 Commission file number 1-10853 BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan ----------------------------------------------- (Full title of the plan) BB&T Corporation ----------------------------- (Name of issuer of securities) 200 West Second Street Winston-Salem, NC 27101 ----------------------- (Address of issuer's principal executive offices) BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan Financial Statements as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 Together with Report of Independent Public Accountants Report of Independent Public Accountants To the 401(k) Savings Plan Committee of BB&T Corporation: We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information, of the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information, for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. As explained in the notes thereto, information presented in the schedule of assets held for investment purposes does not disclose the historical cost for investments. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. As explained in the notes thereto, the Plan has not presented the schedule of reportable transactions (transactions in excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets at the beginning of the year) for the BB&T U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, the BB&T Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Fund, the BB&T Growth and Income Stock Fund, the BB&T Balanced Fund, the BB&T Small Company Growth Fund and the BB&T five-year bank investment contracts. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 1. Description of Plan: The following description of the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. BB&T Corporation (BB&T or the Bank) established the Savings and Thrift Plan for the Employees of BB&T Corporation on July 1, 1982, for the purpose of promoting the future economic welfare of the Bank's employees. Effective January 1, 1996, Southern National's Employee Stock Ownership Plan was merged into the Savings and Thrift Plan for the Employees of Branch Banking and Trust Company to form the Southern National Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan. Effective May 18, 1997 Branch Banking and Trust Company's shareholders voted to change the holding company's name to BB&T Corporation. Accordingly, the Southern National Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan became the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan. The Plan offers seven investment options for employee contributions: the BB&T U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, the BB&T Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Fund, the BB&T Growth and Income Stock Fund, the BB&T Balanced Fund, the BB&T Small Company Growth Fund, BB&T One-Year Bank Investment Contracts (which invests in one-year guaranteed income contracts of the Bank) and the Branch Banking and Trust Company Common Stock Fund. Each participant may elect to direct employee and employer contributions to any combination of the funds. Participants may change their investment elections daily. The Plan covers all employees who meet the age and service requirements. Under the terms of the Plan, employees are eligible to participate in the Plan at age 21 with one year of continuous employment in which they have worked at least 1,000 hours. Participation in the Plan is based on voluntary election by each employee. Contributions to the Plan are made monthly by employees in amounts equal to whole percentages, from 1% to 16%, of their monthly compensation. The Bank makes matching contributions of 100% up to 6% of each participant's compensation contributed to the Plan. Participants are fully vested in their accounts at all times. The Plan permits a participant to borrow up to 50% of their account balance, but not more than the lesser of one-half of the value of the account balance, not to exceed $50,000 or $50,000 minus the participant's highest outstanding loan amount of the prior 12 months. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. Only one loan can be made during the plan year and a participant may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The interest rate to be paid on the amounts borrowed is equal to the Bank's prime lending rate plus 1% at the time of the loan. Under terms of the Plan, a participant is allowed to withdraw certain funds from his account twice a year. Upon retirement, a participant may elect to have distributions paid from this account in installments over a period not to exceed the longer of 15 years, the participant's life expectancy, or the life expectancy of the participant and beneficiary, a lump sum, or any combination of the two. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a separate fund of the Plan and is only for the employees of certain acquired institutions. The ESOP initially purchased common shares using the proceeds of notes payable (see Note 6). The common shares are maintained in a trust under the Plan and debt repayments are funded by corporate contributions to the trust. As debt repayments are made, shares are allocated to eligible employees' accounts in accordance with applicable regulations under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Shares vest fully upon allocation. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Plan present separately the assets and liabilities and changes therein pertaining to the accounts of employees with vested rights in allocated stock (Allocated) and stock not yet allocated to employees (Unallocated). 2. Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Investments in Securities Investments in securities are stated at fair value. The fair value of marketable securities is based on published quotations obtained from national securities exchanges. Investments in mutual funds are valued at fair value based on quoted market prices of the underlying fund securities. Bank investment contracts are stated at contract value, which do not materially differ from market value. Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the exdividend date. Investments in Participant Loans Investments in participant loans are stated at cost. Adjustments necessary to reflect the fair value of the loans would not be material to the financial statements. Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses for trustee and recordkeeping fees are incurred by the Plan. The Plan sponsor has elected to pay all other administrative fees related to professional services provided to the Plan. Trustee fees consist primarily of administrative services rendered by the Bank's Trust Division (see Note 8). 3.
