On November 18, 2010, KeyCorp issued a press release announcing that Henry L. Meyer III, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of KeyCorp, would retire as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KeyCorp on May 1, 2011, that Mr. Meyer would also retire from the KeyCorp Board of Directors on that date, and that, to facilitate the election of Beth E. Mooney as Chief Operating Officer and President, Mr. Meyer would retire as President of KeyCorp immediately.

KeyCorp also announced that the KeyCorp Board of Directors had elected Beth E. Mooney, presently Vice Chair and head of Community Banking at KeyCorp, as KeyCorp’s Chief Operating Officer and President as well as a Director of KeyCorp and that Ms. Mooney had been elected Chair and Chief Executive Officer of KeyCorp, as well as President, upon Mr. Meyer’s retirement on May 1, 2011.

Finally, KeyCorp announced that Lauralee E. Martin has resigned from the KeyCorp Board of Directors as of the conclusion of the Board of Directors November 18, 2010 meeting. The press release noted that Ms. Martin’s resignation was based on a mutual decision from a corporate governance perspective due to a growing and independently developed relationship between KeyCorp and Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc., where Ms. Martin serves as Chief Operating and Financial Officer and that her resignation was not based on any disagreement with KeyCorp.

A copy of the press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
