("PNC" or "Corporation") has made and may continue to make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to financial performance and other financial and business matters. This report also includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "position" and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "may" or similar expressions. The Corporation cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which change over time, and the Corporation assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. In addition to factors previously disclosed by the Corporation and those identified elsewhere in this Report, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: increased credit risk; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; changes in competitive conditions; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; the inability to realize cost savings or revenues and implement integration plans associated with acquisitions and divestitures; changes in economic conditions, interest rates and financial and capital markets; inflation; changes in investment performance; customer disintermediation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; customer acceptance of PNC products and services; the inability of the Corporation or others to remediate year 2000 concerns; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms. ITEM 1 - BUSINESS BUSINESS OVERVIEW The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"), and a financial holding company under the recently enacted Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. PNC was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1983 with the consolidation of Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation. Since 1983, PNC has diversified its geographical presence and product capabilities through strategic bank and nonbank acquisitions and the formation of various nonbanking subsidiaries. The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial services companies in the United States operating regional banking, wholesale banking and asset management businesses that provide products and services nationally and in PNC's primary geographic markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Kentucky. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's consolidated total assets, deposits and shareholders' equity were $75.4 billion, $46.7 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. For information about principal acquisitions and divestitures and sale of subsidiary stock during 1999, see "Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures" and "Note 3 - Sale of Subsidiary Stock" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included on page 67 of the Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated herein by reference. Financial and other information by segment is included in "Note 23 - Segment Reporting" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included on pages 79 and 80 of the Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated herein by reference. REVIEW OF BUSINESSES The information relating to PNC Bank - Regional Banking, PNC Bank - Corporate Banking, PNC Secured Finance, PNC Mortgage, PNC Advisors, BlackRock and PFPC is set forth under the captions "Overview" and "Review of Businesses" in the "Financial Review" included on pages 36 through 45 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, and is incorporated herein by reference. 2 SUBSIDIARIES The corporate legal structure currently consists of four subsidiary banks and over 75 active nonbank subsidiaries. PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC Bank, N.A."), headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the Corporation's principal bank subsidiary. At December 31, 1999, PNC Bank, N.A. had consolidated total assets of $68.2 billion, representing approximately 90% of the Corporation's consolidated total assets. For additional information on subsidiaries, see Exhibit 21 to this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE BY BANK HOLDING COMPANIES The following statistical information is included on the indicated pages of the Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference: Page of Annual Report to Shareholders - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis 86-87 Analysis of Year-to-Year Changes in Net Interest Income 85 Book Values of Securities 68 Maturities and Weighted-Average Yield of Securities 69 Loan Types 69 Loan Maturities and Interest Sensitivity 89 Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans 64 and 70 Potential Problem Loans 50 Summary of Loan Loss Experience 88 Allocation of Allowance for Credit Losses 88 Average Amount and Average Rate Paid on Deposits 86-87 Time Deposits of $100,000 or More 89 Selected Consolidated Financial Data 35 Short-Term Borrowings 89 RISK MANAGEMENT In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes various types of risk, the most significant of which are credit, liquidity, interest rate and market risk. To manage these risks, PNC has risk management processes designed to provide for risk identification, measurement, monitoring and control. Information relating to credit, liquidity, interest rate and market risk and the Corporation's risk management processes is set forth under the section "Risk Management" in the "Financial Review" included on pages 50 through 53 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL MONETARY AND OTHER POLICIES The activities and results of operations of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries are affected by monetary, tax and other policies of the United States government and its agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"). An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit. The Federal Reserve Board employs open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements on bank deposits to implement its monetary policy objectives. These instruments of monetary policy are used in varying combinations to influence the overall level of bank loans, investments and deposits, the interest rates charged on loans and paid for deposits, the price of the dollar in foreign exchange markets and the level of inflation. It is not possible to predict the nature or timing of future changes in monetary, tax and other policies or the effect that they may have on the Corporation's activities and results of operations. IMPACT OF INFLATION The assets and liabilities of the Corporation are primarily monetary in nature. Accordingly, future changes in prices do not affect the obligations to pay or receive fixed and determinable amounts of money. During periods of inflation, monetary assets lose value in terms of purchasing power and monetary liabilities have corresponding purchasing power gains. The concept of purchasing power, however, is not an adequate indicator of the effect of inflation on banks because it does not take into account changes in interest rates, which are an important determinant of the Corporation's earnings. A discussion of interest rate risk is set forth under the caption "Interest Rate Risk" in the "Risk Management" section of the "Financial Review" included on page 52 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, and is incorporated herein by reference. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous governmental regulations, some of which are highlighted below and in "Note 17 - Regulatory Matters" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included on pages 73 and 74 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, ("Note 17 - Regulatory Matters"), which is incorporated herein by reference. These regulations cover, among other things, permissible activities and investments and dividend limitations on the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and consumer-related protections for loan, deposit, brokerage, fiduciary, mutual fund and other customers. As a bank holding company and, as discussed below, a "financial holding company," the Corporation is subject to supervision and regular inspection by the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board's prior approval is required whenever the Corporation proposes to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank, or to merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. When reviewing bank acquisition applications for approval, the Federal Reserve Board considers, among other things, each subsidiary bank's record in meeting the credit needs of the communities it serves in accordance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended ("CRA"). At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's principal bank subsidiary, PNC Bank, N.A., was rated "Outstanding" with respect to CRA; its other bank subsidiaries were rated "Satisfactory." As a bank holding company, the Corporation may not, with certain exceptions, acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of any nonbanking corporation, may not engage in any business other than managing and controlling banks or furnishing certain specified services to subsidiaries, and may not acquire voting control of nonbanking corporations unless the Federal Reserve 3 Board determines such businesses and services to be closely related to banking. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act"), which was enacted on November 12, 1999, and portions of which became effective on March 11, 2000, permits a qualifying bank holding company to become a financial holding company and thereby to affiliate with financial companies engaging in a broader range of activities than has previously been permitted for a bank holding company. Permitted affiliates include securities underwriters and dealers, insurance companies, and companies engaged in other activities that are declared by the Federal Reserve Board, in cooperation with the Treasury Department, to be "financial in nature or incidental thereto" or are declared by the Federal Reserve Board unilaterally to be "complementary" to financial activities. A bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is "well capitalized," is "well managed," and has at least a "Satisfactory" CRA rating. PNC became a financial holding company as of March 13, 2000. The Federal Reserve Board is the umbrella supervisor of a financial holding company. The GLB Act requires the Federal Reserve Board to defer to the actions and requirements of the "functional" regulators of subsidiary broker-dealers, investment managers, investment companies, insurance underwriters and brokers, banks and other regulated institutions. Thus, the various state and federal regulators of a financial holding company's subsidiaries retain their jurisdiction and authority over such operating entities. As the umbrella supervisor, however, the Federal Reserve Board has the potential to affect the operations and activities of a financial holding company's subsidiaries through its authority over the financial holding company parent. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board retains back-up regulatory authority over functionally regulated subsidiaries, such as broker-dealers and banks, to intervene directly in the affairs of the subsidiaries for specific reasons. The Corporation's subsidiary banks and their subsidiaries are subject to supervision and examination by applicable federal and state banking agencies, including such federal agencies as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") with respect to PNC Bank, N.A. and PNC Advisors, N.A., the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") with respect to PNC Bank, Delaware, and the Office of Thrift Supervision with respect to PNC Bank, FSB. One aspect of this regulation is that the Corporation's subsidiary banks are subject to various federal and state restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to PNC Bancorp, Inc., the parent of the subsidiary banks, which in turn may affect the ability of PNC Bancorp, Inc. to pay dividends to the Corporation. These dividends constitute the Corporation's principal source of income. Without regulatory approval, the amount available for dividend payments to PNC Bancorp, Inc. by all bank subsidiaries was $489 million at December 31, 1999. The Corporation's subsidiary banks are also subject to federal laws limiting extensions of credit to their parent holding company and nonbank affiliates as discussed in "Note 17 - Regulatory Matters." Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support each such bank. Consistent with the "source of strength" policy for subsidiary banks, the Federal Reserve Board has stated that, as a matter of prudent banking, a bank holding company generally should not maintain a rate of cash dividends unless its net income available to common shareholders has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends, and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears to be consistent with the corporation's capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Subsidiary banks are also limited by law and regulation in the scope of permitted activities and investments. Subsidiary banks and their operating subsidiaries may engage in any activities that are determined by the OCC to be part of or incidental to the business of banking. The GLB Act, however, permits a national bank, such as PNC Bank, N.A., to engage in expanded activities through the formation of a "financial subsidiary." PNC Bank, N.A. has filed a financial subsidiary certification with the OCC and may thus engage in any activity that is financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity, except for insurance underwriting, insurance investments, real estate investment or development, or merchant banking. In order to qualify to establish or acquire a financial subsidiary, PNC Bank, N.A. and each of its depository institution affiliates must be "well capitalized" and "well managed," and may not have a less than "satisfactory" CRA rating. In addition, the total assets of all financial subsidiaries of a national bank may not exceed the lesser of $50 billion or 45% of the parent bank's total assets. A national bank that is one of the largest 50 insured banks in the United States, such as PNC Bank, N.A., must also have issued debt with a certain rating. A financial holding company or national bank engaging in activities permitted under the GLB Act can be subject to various corrective actions by the FRB or OCC, respectively, if the "well capitalized" or "well managed" requirements noted above are not met. These corrective actions could include requiring divestiture of the activities conducted in reliance on the GLB Act. In addition, if the CRA rating requirements discussed above are not met, the financial holding company or national bank would not be permitted to engage in new activities, or to make new investments, in reliance on the GLB Act. 4 The federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective action as deemed appropriate for an insured depository institution and its holding company. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institution in question is considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Generally, as an institution is deemed to be less well capitalized, the scope and severity of the agencies' powers increase, ultimately permitting the agency to appoint a receiver for the institution. Business activities may also be influenced by an institution's capital classification. For instance, only a "well capitalized" depository institution may accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval and an "adequately capitalized" depository institution may accept brokered deposits only with prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 1999, all of the Corporation's subsidiary banks exceeded the required ratios for classification as "well capitalized." Additional discussion of capital adequacy requirements is set forth under the caption "Capital" in the "Financial Review" on page 49 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. All of the Corporation's subsidiary banks have deposits insured by the FDIC and are subject to premium assessments. The FDIC assessment is based upon the institution's relative risk as measured by regulatory capital ratios and certain other factors. Under current regulations, the Corporation's subsidiary banks are not assessed a premium on deposits insured by either the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund. However, insured depository institutions continue to pay premiums based upon deposit levels to service debt issued by a governmental entity. The Corporation's subsidiary banks are subject to "cross-guarantee" provisions under federal law that provide that if one of these banks fails or requires FDIC assistance, the FDIC may assess a "commonly-controlled" bank for the estimated losses suffered by the FDIC. Such liability could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of any assessed bank and the Corporation. While the FDIC's claim is junior to the claims of depositors, holders of secured liabilities, general creditors and subordinated creditors, it is superior to the claims of shareholders and affiliates, such as the Corporation. The Corporation's subsidiaries are subject to regulatory restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and other federal and state agencies. The Corporation's six registered broker-dealer subsidiaries are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and either by the OCC or the Federal Reserve Board. They are also subject to rules and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., among others. Two subsidiaries are registered as commodity pool operators with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association, and are subject to regulation by them. Several subsidiaries that are registered investment advisers are subject to regulation by the SEC and other agencies. Several subsidiaries also provide investment advisory and other services to registered investment companies and thus are subject to certain obligations under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The rules governing the regulation of financial services institutions and their holding companies are very detailed and technical. Accordingly, the above discussion is general in nature and does not purport to be complete or to describe all of the laws and regulations that apply to the Corporation and its subsidiaries. COMPETITION The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to intense competition from various financial institutions and from "nonbank" entities that engage in similar activities without being subject to bank regulatory supervision and restrictions. This is particularly true as the Corporation expands nationally beyond its primary geographic footprint, where expansion requires significant investments to penetrate new markets and respond to competition, and as the Corporation and other entities expand their activities pursuant to the GLB Act, as discussed above. In making loans, the subsidiary banks compete with traditional banking institutions as well as consumer finance companies, leasing companies and other nonbank lenders. Loan pricing and credit standards are under competitive pressure as lenders seek to deploy capital and a broad range of borrowers have access to capital markets. Traditional deposit activities are subject to pricing pressures and customer migration as a result of intense competition for consumer investment dollars. The Corporation's subsidiary banks compete for deposits with not only other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions, but also insurance companies and issuers of commercial paper and other securities, including mutual funds. Various nonbank subsidiaries engaged in investment banking and venture capital activities compete with commercial banks, investment banking firms, insurance companies and venture capital firms. In providing asset management services, the Corporation's subsidiaries compete with many large banks and other financial institutions, brokerage firms, mutual fund complexes, investment management firms and insurance companies. The ability to access and use technology is an increasingly important competitive factor in the financial services industry. Technology is not only important with respect to delivery of financial services, but in processing information. Each of the Corporation's businesses consistently must make technological investments to remain competitive. EMPLOYEES Average full-time equivalent employees totaled approximately 25,600 in 1999, and were approximately 27,200 in December 1999. 5 ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES The executive and administrative offices of the Corporation and PNC Bank, N.A. are located at One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The thirty-story structure is owned by PNC Bank, N.A. The Corporation and PNC Bank, N.A. occupy all of the building. In addition, PNC Bank, N.A. owns a thirty-four story structure adjacent to One PNC Plaza, known as Two PNC Plaza, 620 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that houses additional office space. PNC Bank, N.A. has operations centers in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A new facility is presently under construction for the Pittsburgh operations center, with completion expected in 2000. The Philadelphia operations center is located in a leased facility. The Corporation's subsidiaries own or lease numerous other premises for use in conducting business activities. The facilities owned or occupied under lease by the Corporation's subsidiaries are considered by management to be adequate.

PART II ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Corporation's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is traded under the symbol "PNC." At the close of business on February 29, 2000, there were 60,407 common shareholders of record. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. The Board of Directors may not pay or set apart dividends on the common stock until dividends for all past dividend periods on any series of outstanding preferred stock 6 have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The Board presently intends to continue the policy of paying quarterly cash dividends. However, the amount of any future dividends will depend on earnings, the financial condition of the Corporation and other factors, including contractual restrictions and applicable government regulations and policies (such as those relating to the ability of bank and nonbank subsidiaries to upstream dividends to the parent company). The Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit the Corporation from paying dividends without its approval. Further discussion concerning dividend restrictions and restrictions on loans or advances from bank subsidiaries to the parent company is set forth under the caption "Supervision and Regulation" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K, under the caption "Liquidity Risk" in the "Risk Management" section of the "Financial Review" on pages 51 and 52 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, and in "Note 17 - Regulatory Matters", which are incorporated herein by reference.
