Bank of New York Mellon amends bylaws to tighten stockholder nomination rules
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Amendments adopt universal proxy card rules from SEC; require proposing stockholders to request nomination forms in writing.
- Enhanced information requirements for nominees and stockholder proponents, including representations and updated disclosures as of record and meeting dates.
- Proposing stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white; failure to meet procedural requirements allows Board to disregard nomination.

- Bylaws effective August 8, 2023; full text filed as Exhibit 3.1.
