Item 8.01 Other Events.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) previously announced that it was one of the fourteen federally regulated mortgage servicers subject to a publicly-disclosed interagency horizontal review of residential mortgage servicing operations. As a result of that review, PNC has entered into a consent order with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC Bank”) has entered into a consent order with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. These orders, which are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, respectively, describe certain residential mortgage foreclosure-related practices and controls that the regulators found to be deficient and require PNC and PNC Bank to, among other things, develop and implement plans and programs to enhance PNC’s residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes, retain an independent consultant to review certain residential mortgage foreclosure actions, take certain remedial actions, and oversee compliance with the orders and the new plans and programs. The two orders do not resolve any other federal or state governmental, legislative or regulatory authority investigations, which may result in additional actions and penalties, and they do not foreclose the potential for civil money penalties from the bank regulators. The orders attached hereto as Exhibits include additional details regarding these matters.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
