Dear Salary Savings Program Participant:

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of State Street Corporation will be held on May 14, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Accompanying this direction form are the 2013 annual report, notice of 2014 meeting of shareholders and the proxy statement containing information about the proposals to be voted on by shareholders at the meeting.

A participant in the State Street Salary Savings Program, or SSP, with company stock in the SSP is considered a named fiduciary and may direct the trustee how to vote that participant’s allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the SSP. If the trustee does not timely receive direction from a participant as to how to vote the participant’s allocated share, as set forth on the reverse side of this form, the trustee will vote the participant’s allocated share on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants. If a matter arises at the meeting, or such other time as affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the trustee will follow the direction of State Street, unless the trustee determines that doing so would result in a breach of the trustee’s fiduciary duty.

You must direct the trustee in advance of the meeting so that the trustee, the registered owner of all the shares held in the SSP, can vote in a timely way. Please provide your direction on the Internet, by telephone or by mail by following the instructions on the reverse side of this direction form. The trustee must receive your direction no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 12, 2014 for your direction to be counted. Your direction will be held in confidence by the trustee. You may not provide this direction at the annual meeting. You may change your direction to the trustee by submitting a new direction. The last direction the trustee receives by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 12, 2014, will be the only one counted. If your direction by mail is received on the same day as one received electronically, the electronic direction will be followed.

Participants are strongly encouraged to direct the trustee how to vote their allocated share. If you have any questions, please call the GHR Service Center at +18554477007 or, internally at ext. 77007, or e-mail to “GHRSERVICECTR@STATESTREET.COM.”

Thank you for voting.

State Street Bank and Trust Company, Trustee

STATE STREET CORPORATION

 

Annual Meeting of Shareholders - May 14, 2014

 

DIRECTION TO THE TRUSTEE

   

 

As a participant in the State Street Salary Savings Program, I hereby direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee, to vote at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 14, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or at any adjournment thereof, the allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the Salary Savings Program that I am entitled under that Program to direct, as indicated on the reverse side of this form.

 

Each of the matters to come before the meeting is described in the notice of, and proxy statement for, the meeting, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. If a matter arises at the meeting, or such other time which affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the trustee will follow the recommendation of State Street’s Board of Directors, unless the trustee determines that doing so would result in a breach of the trustee’s fiduciary duty. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of the twelve director nominees and FOR Items 2 and 3. The shares represented by this form will be voted in accordance with the specifications made in this direction. To direct the trustee in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, just sign and date on the reverse side of this form; no boxes need to be checked. If no direction is given to the trustee with respect to the shares represented by this direction (by this Direction Form, the Internet or Telephone), the trustee will vote the participant’s allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the Salary Savings Program on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants.

 

You do not have to use this form if you have used the Internet or telephone to direct the trustee, unless you want to change your direction. To use this form, please check the appropriate boxes (or, to follow the recommendations of the Board of Directors, you may leave the boxes unchecked), sign, date, and return this form promptly, using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
