Item 8.01   Other Events
          On February 24, 2011, KeyCorp (the “Corporation”) executed (i) Amendment No. 1 to its Replacement Capital Covenant, dated November 21, 2006, and (ii) Amendment No. 2 to its Replacement Capital Covenant, dated February 27, 2008. The Amendments together are herein referred to as the “Amendments” and the Replacement Capital Covenants together are herein referred to as the “Replacement Capital Covenants.” The Corporation executed the Replacement Capital Covenant, dated November 21, 2006, in favor of and for the benefit of each holder of Covered Debt in connection with the issuance of $500,010,000 aggregate principal amount of the Corporation’s 6.750% junior subordinated debentures due 2066 to KeyCorp Capital IX, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust IX”), and the issuance by Trust IX of $500,000,000 aggregate liquidation amount of its 6.750% Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities. The Corporation executed the Replacement Capital Covenant, dated February 27, 2008, as amended by a Supplement, dated as of March 3, 2008, in favor of and for the benefits of each holder of Covered Debt in connection with the issuance of $740,010,000 aggregate principal amount of the Corporation’s 8.000% junior subordinated debentures due 2068 to KeyCorp Capital X, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust X”), and the issuance by Trust X of $740,000,000 aggregate liquidation amount of its 8.000% Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities.
          The intent and effect of the Amendments is (i) to recognize, for purposes of calculating qualified replacement capital, the proceeds from the issuance by the Corporation of certain securities, including but not limited to Common Shares, rights to acquire Common Shares, Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and REIT Preferred Securities, after February 24, 2011 (the effective date of the Amendments) without regard to the date of such issuance, and without double counting proceeds received in any prior measurement period with respect to the securities covered by the Replacement Capital Covenants, and (ii) to permit the Corporation to designate one of the series of Eligible Debt to become the Covered Debt on and after a Redesignation Date.
          Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item 8.01 have the meanings set forth in the respective Replacement Capital Covenant, each as amended.
          The Replacement Capital Covenant for Trust IX, the original Replacement Capital Covenant for Trust X, and the Supplement to the Replacement Capital Covenant for Trust X are incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3, respectively. Copies of the Amendments are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5.
