PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents, each as filed by The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), are incorporated herein by reference:

PNC also incorporates herein by reference any additional documents subsequently filed by PNC with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold. Each such document shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the respective date of filing of each such document. These documents may include current reports on Form 8-K and periodic reports, such as annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as proxy statements. Any report, document or portion thereof that is furnished to, but not filed with, the SEC is not incorporated by reference.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to Sections 1741-1743 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 (Act of December 21, 1988, P.L. 1444), which we refer to as the PA BCL, PNC has the power to indemnify its directors and

officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the belief that the particular action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to a criminal proceeding, that the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In general, this power to indemnify does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and to the extent that the person is adjudged to be fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. A corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions against them in such capacities if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. Pursuant to Section 1745 of the PA BCL, PNC has the power to pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Section 1746 of the PA BCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any by-law provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

PNC’s By-Laws generally provide for the mandatory indemnification of directors and officers in accordance with and to the full extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as in effect at the time of such indemnification and for mandatory advancement of expenses upon receipt of the required undertaking. PNC’s By-Laws also eliminate, to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action as a director, except in any case such elimination is not permitted by law. Section 20 of the Plan (included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Registration Statement) also provides for indemnification of members of the Plan Committee.

PNC has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties.

Item 8. Exhibits.

The exhibits listed in the Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement are filed herewith or, where so indicated, are incorporated herein by reference to other filings. Incorporated document references to filings by the Registrant are to SEC File No. 001-09718.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
