At the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding share of perpetual preferred stock, Series A, Series B, Series F, Series G andSeries H, of SunTrust (collectively, “SunTrust Preferred Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive one share of anapplicable newly issued series of BB&T preferred stock having the same terms as such share of SunTrust Preferred Stock,and (ii) each outstanding SunTrust equity award granted under SunTrust’s equity compensation plans will be convertedinto a corresponding award with respect to BB&T Common Stock, with the number of shares underlying such award (and,in the case of stock options, the applicable exercise price) adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio. Each such convertedBB&T equity award will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding SunTrustequity award, except that, in the case of SunTrust performance stock unit awards, the number of shares underlying theconverted BB&T equity award will be determined based on actual performance for the portion of the applicableperformance period through the Effective Time and target performance for the balance of the applicable performanceperiod and such award will continue to vest after the Effective Time solely based on continued service.

The Merger Agreement also provides, among other things, that effective as of the Effective Time, Kelly S.
