Surprise; New CEO Experienced Bank Executive

Banks — Large-Cap

Truist announced that CEO Bill Rogers is moving on to become Chairman until Vivek Juneja AC

April 2027, and Mike Lyons will become the CEO. This change is not surprising (1-212) 622-6465

given Truist’s lagging stock price as reflected in its valuation - Truist was trading vivek.juneja@jpmorgan.com

YTD versus average YTD increase of 12.2% at those peers. aj.dietrich@jpmorgan.com
