Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On November 7, 2005, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (the “Third Quarter 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the Third Quarter 10-Q, PNC presented updated business segment reporting disclosures based on PNC’s decision to reorganize its banking businesses into two units, Consumer Banking and Institutional Banking, and to align its reporting accordingly. The Consumer Banking business segment comprises consumer and small business customers. The Institutional Banking business segment includes middle market and corporate customers. Amounts previously reported under Regional Community Banking, Wholesale Banking and PNC Advisors have been reclassified to reflect this new reporting structure. Intercompany eliminations and other adjustments made to combine Regional Community Banking and PNC Advisors for prior periods were not significant. PNC’s business segment financial reporting for BlackRock and PFPC was not impacted by this change. PNC is filing this Report on Form 8-K to conform its historical consolidated financial statements to reflect the updated disclosures.

 

The information included in this Report on Form 8-K does not in any way restate or revise PNC’s net income in any previously reported consolidated financial statements.

 

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein are updated historical audited consolidated financial statements of PNC, which reflect the updated business segment disclosures. The financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1 shall serve as the historical audited consolidated financial statements of PNC for existing and future filings made pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, until PNC files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

The information described in Item 8.01 above is incorporated by reference herein.
