FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about our long-term goals, financial condition, results of operations, earnings, levels of net loan charge-offs and nonperforming assets, interest rate exposure and profitability. These statements usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “our goal,” “our objective,” “our plan,” “will likely result,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates” or other similar words or expressions or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “could,” and “should.”

 

Forward-looking statements express management’s current expectations, forecasts of future events or long-term goals and, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations, forecasts and goals reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including the following factors:

 

•

Interest rates could change more quickly or more significantly than management expects, which may have an adverse effect on KeyCorp’s financial results.

 

•

Trade, monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental bodies may affect the economic environment in which KeyCorp operates, as well as its financial condition and results of operations.

 

•

Changes in the stock markets, public debt markets and other capital markets, including continued disruption in the fixed income markets, could adversely affect KeyCorp’s ability to raise capital or other funding for liquidity and business purposes, as well as its revenues from client-based underwriting, investment banking and other capital markets-driven businesses.

 

•

Recent problems in the housing markets and related conditions in the financial markets, or other issues, such as the high price of oil or other commodities, could cause further deterioration in general economic conditions, or in the condition of the local economies or industries in which KeyCorp has significant operations or assets, and, among other things, materially impact credit quality in existing portfolios and/or KeyCorp’s ability to generate loans in the future.

 

•

Increasing interest rates or further weakening economic conditions could constrain borrowers’ ability to repay outstanding loans or diminish the value of the collateral securing those loans. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses may be insufficient if the estimates and judgments management used to establish that allowance prove to be inaccurate.

 

•

Increased competitive pressure among financial services companies may adversely affect KeyCorp’s ability to market its products and services.

 

•

It could take KeyCorp longer than anticipated to implement strategic initiatives, including those designed to grow revenue or manage expenses; KeyCorp may be unable to implement certain initiatives; or the initiatives may be unsuccessful.

 

•

Acquisitions and dispositions of assets, business units or affiliates could adversely affect KeyCorp in ways that management has not anticipated.

 

•

KeyCorp may experience operational or risk management failures due to technological or other factors.

 

•

Changes in accounting principles, or in tax laws, rules and regulations could have an adverse effect on KeyCorp’s financial results or its capital.

 

•

KeyCorp may become subject to new legal obligations or liabilities, or the unfavorable resolution of pending litigation may have an adverse effect on its financial results or its capital.

 

•

KeyCorp may become subject to new or heightened regulatory practices, requirements or expectations which may impede its profitability.

 

•

Terrorist activities or military actions could disrupt the economy and the general business climate, which may have an adverse effect on KeyCorp’s financial results or condition and that of its borrowers.

 

You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC (and incorporated by reference herein) for further information on other factors that could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. See above under the caption “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common shares involves certain risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below relating to our common shares and the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision. In particular, you should consider the matters discussed below in the section “Recent Developments.” Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our common shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

The Price of Our Common Shares May Fluctuate Significantly, and This May Make It Difficult for You to Resell Common Shares Owned by You at Times or at Prices You Find Attractive.

 

The price of our common shares on the NYSE constantly changes. We expect that the market price of our common shares will continue to fluctuate.

 

Our share price may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 

•

quarterly variations in our operating results or the quality of our assets;

 

•

operating results that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;

 

•

changes in expectations as to our future financial performance;

 

•

announcements of innovations, new products, strategic developments, significant contracts, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors;

 

•

the operating and securities price performance of other companies that investors believe are comparable to us;

 

•

future sales of our equity or equity-related securities; and

 

•

changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, stock, commodity or real estate valuations or volatility.

 

In addition, in recent months, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect our share price, notwithstanding our operating results.

 

General Market Conditions and Unpredictable Factors Could Adversely Affect Market Prices for Our Common Shares.

 

There can be no assurance about the market prices for our common shares. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, may influence the market value of our common shares, including:

 

•

our past and future dividend practice;

 

•

our creditworthiness as determined by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations which can change;

 

•

interest rates;

 

•

the credit, mortgage and housing markets, the markets for securities relating to mortgages or housing, and developments with respect to financial institutions generally;

 

S-6

---

Table of Contents

•

the market for similar securities; and

 

•

economic, financial, geopolitical, regulatory or judicial events that affect us or the financial markets.

 

Accordingly, the common shares that an investor purchases, whether in this offering or in the secondary market, may trade at a price lower than that at which they were purchased.

 

Our Borrowing Costs Depend in Part on Our Creditworthiness, Which is Assessed by the Ratings Assigned by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations.

 

Our borrowing costs depend in part on our ratings, which are assessments of our creditworthiness, by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. We have recently discussed the matters disclosed under “Recent Developments” below with the principal U.S. and Canadian rating agencies. Following such discussions, certain rating agencies have expressed an intention or possible intention to qualify their current ratings for KeyCorp by putting KeyCorp on “negative outlook” or “negative watch.” There can be no assurance that any such rating agency will not qualify or revise downward its current rating for KeyCorp. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Our current ratings are posted on our website at www.key.com.

 

There May Be Future Sales or Other Dilution of Our Equity, Which May Adversely Affect the Market Price of Our Common Shares.

 

Except as described under “Underwriting,” we are not restricted from issuing additional common shares, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common shares. The market price of our common shares could decline as a result of sales of common shares made after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.

 

We are concurrently making the Preferred Stock Offering. Each share of our Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into our common shares based on a conversion rate set forth in the prospectus supplement related to our Series A Preferred Stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, subject to adjustment. The conversion rate will be further adjusted upon the occurrence of certain other events. In addition, on or after June 15, 2013, if the closing price of one of our common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading day period, including the last day of such period, we may, at our option, cause some or all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into our common shares at the then prevailing conversion rate. The conversion of some or all of our Series A Preferred Stock will dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders.

 

You May Not Receive Dividends on the Common Shares.

 

Holders of our common shares are only entitled to receive such dividends as our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. Furthermore, our common shareholders are subject to the prior dividend rights of any holders of our preferred stock or depositary shares representing such preferred stock then outstanding. As of March 31, 2008, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Simultaneously with this offering, we are offering (by a separate prospectus supplement) 6,500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (or 7,475,000 shares if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) in the Preferred Stock Offering.

 

Our board of directors has expressed its current intention to reduce the dividend payable on our common shares by 50%, commencing with the dividend that is payable in the third quarter of 2008, to an annualized dividend of $0.75 per common share. See “Recent Developments.” Although we have historically declared cash

 

S-7

Table of Contents

dividends on our common shares, we are not required to do so and may further reduce or eliminate our common shares dividend in the future. This could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

 

Our Results of Operations Depend Upon the Results of Operations of Our Subsidiaries.

 

We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through our bank and other subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make dividend payments on our common shares will depend primarily upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries. There are various regulatory restrictions on the ability of our banking subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

 

In addition, our right to participate in any distribution of assets of any of our subsidiaries upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or otherwise, and thus your ability as a holder of the common shares to benefit indirectly from such distribution, will be subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that any of our claims as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized. As a result, the common shares will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of our subsidiaries.

 

At March 31, 2008, our subsidiaries’ total deposits and borrowings were approximately $83.4 billion.

 

The Issuance of Additional Series of Our Preferred Stock Could Adversely Affect Holders of Our Common Shares, Which May Negatively Impact Your Investment.

 

Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional classes or series of preferred stock without any action on the part of our common shareholders. Our board of directors also has the power, without shareholder approval, to set the terms of any such classes or series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights, dividend rights, and preferences over our common shares with respect to dividends or upon our dissolution, winding-up and liquidation and other terms. If we issue additional preferred stock in the future that has a preference over our common shares with respect to the payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common shares, the rights of holders of our common shares or the market price of our common shares could be adversely affected. Specifically, we are concurrently making the Preferred Stock Offering pursuant to which holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have a preference over our common shares with respect to the payment of dividends.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions Could Negatively Impact Our Shareholders.

 

Provisions of Ohio law and our articles of incorporation and code of regulations could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. Additionally, our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue additional series of preferred stock as described under “—The Issuance of Additional Series of our Preferred Stock Could Adversely Affect Holders of Our Common Shares, Which May Negatively Impact Your Investment,” and such preferred stock, including additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which is being issued contemporaneously herewith (pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement), could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal. These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us even if an acquisition might be in the best interest of our shareholders.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

On May 29, 2008, KeyCorp disclosed that an adverse decision had been rendered in the previously disclosed AWG Leasing Litigation, and that management was reviewing its options for appeal as well as other possible implications of the case.

 

On May 27, 2008, we updated our previous outlook for net loan charge-offs for 2008. The previous estimated range for net loan charge-offs was .65% to .90% of average loans. We now anticipate that net loan charge-offs will be in the range of 1.00% to 1.30% for 2008, with second quarter and potentially third quarter net charge-offs running above this range as we deal aggressively with reducing exposures in the residential homebuilder portfolio and anticipate elevated net loan charge-offs in our education and home improvement loan portfolios. We announced in the fourth quarter of 2007 that we had: (i) decided to cease conducting business with “out of footprint” nonrelationship homebuilders, (ii) recorded additional reserves to address continued weakness in the housing market, and (iii) decided to exit dealer-originated home improvement lending activities, which involve prime loans but are largely out-of-footprint.

 

The board of directors of KeyCorp has reviewed management’s assessment of the AWG Leasing Litigation and its implications for KeyCorp and, in conjunction with that assessment and KeyCorp’s previous announcement of higher expected net charge-offs for 2008, the board approved a number of actions aimed at strengthening KeyCorp’s financial structure and preparing it for the future. First, KeyCorp will record an after-tax accounting charge to earnings and capital in the second quarter of approximately $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion for the AWG Leasing Litigation and certain of KeyCorp’s other leveraged lease transactions. Consistent with taking a charge of this size, the board also approved a series of transactions in which KeyCorp intends to raise approximately $1.5 billion of additional capital through a combination of common shares offered hereby and the Preferred Stock Offering. Finally, the board has expressed its current intention to reduce the dividend payable on KeyCorp’s common shares by 50%, commencing with the third quarter 2008 dividend, to an annualized dividend of $0.75 per common share. This action is intended to preserve approximately $200 million of capital annually (on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the anticipated capital raise described above), and to normalize KeyCorp’s current payout ratio while maintaining an attractive dividend yield.

 

Further detail on certain of these actions is provided below.

 

Lease Transactions

 

On May 28, 2008, a decision was rendered in the AWG Leasing Litigation, the status of which KeyCorp has previously disclosed and regularly updated in its periodic reports under the Exchange Act since the inception of the case. As KeyCorp disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 29, 2008, the decision by Judge James Gwin of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (captioned AWG Leasing Trust, KSP Investments, Inc., as Tax Matters Partner v. United States of America) was adverse to KeyCorp. In that report, KeyCorp indicated that management was reviewing the Court’s decision and would be evaluating the implications of that decision. Since that time, management has been working with KeyCorp’s litigation counsel to evaluate the prospects for seeking reconsideration and/or appeal of the decision and has been consulting with its audit firm in connection with the accounting implications of the decision.

 

The transaction at issue in the AWG Leasing Litigation involved a cross-border leveraged lease transaction entered into by AWG Leasing Trust (“AWG Leasing”) in which KSP Investments, Inc. (“KSP”), an affiliate of KeyCorp (that is consolidated with KeyCorp for tax purposes), was a partner. KeyCorp characterized the transaction as the acquisition, through a long-term head lease, of an industrial energy facility that was then leased back to the former owner. As is typical with so-called sale/leaseback transactions, KeyCorp claimed depreciation deductions on its tax returns as the tax owner of the plant (through its interest in KSP) and also deductions on

 

S-11

---

Table of Contents

loans KSP used to finance the transaction. In its ruling, the Court held, among other things, that KSP did not acquire tax ownership of the facility and therefore KeyCorp was not entitled to the depreciation deductions or deduction of transaction costs, and that interest on the debt was not deductible because the debt was not “genuine indebtedness.”

 

KeyCorp disagrees with the Court’s recharacterization of the transaction and will continue to evaluate whether it will appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Notwithstanding its ultimate decision on whether to appeal, management believes that, as a result of the Court’s decision, KeyCorp is required to recalculate its accounting recognition of lease income from the inception of the AWG Transaction and recognize a reduction in its net investment on its financial statements.

 

In addition, although Judge Gwin’s opinion applies directly only to the AWG Leasing Litigation, the decision may have implications for KeyCorp’s accounting treatment of certain other leveraged lease transactions within KeyBank’s portfolio of lease in, lease out (“LILO”) Leases, Qualified Technological Equipment Leases (“QTE”) and Service Contract Leases. Therefore, in accordance with the accounting guidance of FASB Staff Position 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or a Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction,” management has recalculated KeyCorp’s recognition of lease income from inception for all of the leases in the affected categories and recognized a reduction in its net investment and a corresponding charge to capital and income for the remaining LILO, QTE and Service Contract Leases in its portfolio. When aggregated with the AWG Leasing Litigation matter, the total reduction in its net investment and the corresponding non-cash after-tax charge to income and capital that KeyCorp expects to record in the second quarter of 2008 for these leveraged lease transactions is approximately $625 million to $725 million. Management expects future earnings to increase over the remaining terms of the affected leases by approximately two-thirds of this amount. In addition, KeyCorp is recording a charge to income and capital for the after-tax interest cost equal to approximately $475 million¹ on the contested tax liabilities. KeyCorp will also record a higher tax provision in future periods for the on-going accrual of interest on the disputed tax balance until the dispute is finally resolved.

 

Finally, management notes that, while it has recognized the effects of the adverse Court decision for financial statement purposes, it continues to believe that the tax treatment it applied to its leveraged lease transactions complied with all applicable tax laws, regulations and judicial authorities in effect at the time, and management intends to continue to defend this position.

 

Credit Related Matters

 

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2008, KeyCorp anticipates net loan charge-offs for 2008 to be in the range of 1.00% to 1.30% of average loans. This would amount to net loan charge-offs for 2008 in the range of approximately $750 million to $1 billion. KeyCorp expects to record approximately $500 million of this total in net loan charge-offs, and to increase its provision expense to continue to build its loan loss reserves by approximately $600 million (a net increase of $100 million), in the second quarter of 2008 as it deals aggressively with reducing exposures in the residential homebuilder portfolio through the sale of assets. Management believes that this action should result in a net reduction in nonperforming assets and an improved coverage ratio of loan loss reserve to nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008, compared to balances at March 31, 2008.

 

Other areas of the Commercial and Commercial Real Estate portfolios continue to perform as expected with normal downward migration that is generally consistent with the credit cycle for well diversified portfolios. Second quarter 2008 loss expectations for these portfolios are anticipated to be similar to first quarter 2008 results.

KeyCorp previously disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that, at March 31, 2008, this after-tax interest cost on taxes due could reach $435 million. The current estimate of $475 million reflects the additional interest accrued since March 31, 2008 through June 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

Included in net loan charge-off totals for the second quarter of 2008 and the full year anticipated range are higher levels of net loan charge-offs from educational loans. The primary source of these charge-offs derives from an Educational Lending portfolio of approximately $800 million of loans primarily associated with non-Title IV schools, which KeyCorp stopped underwriting in mid-2006. Losses from both the Educational Lending portfolio and the Commercial Real Estate portfolio are expected to peak during the second quarter and are anticipated to decline in the second half of 2008.

 

We have filed Current Reports on Form 8-K containing additional preliminary information relating to the matters discussed above in this section, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. You should carefully review the information contained in the Current Reports on Form 8-K.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $969.3 million (or approximately $1.1 billion if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), after underwriting discounts and estimated expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include:

 

•

reducing or refinancing existing debt;

 

•

repurchasing outstanding trust preferred securities;

 

•

investments at the holding company level;

 

•

investing in, or extending credit to, our operating subsidiaries;

 

•

possible acquisitions or other business combinations; and

 

•

share repurchases.

 

Pending such use, we may temporarily invest the net proceeds. The precise amounts and timing of the application of proceeds will depend upon our funding requirements and the availability of other funds. Allocations of the proceeds to specific purposes have not been made at the date of this prospectus supplement.

For the purpose of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, earnings consist of consolidated income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges, and fixed charges consist of interest expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and the portion of rental expense deemed to represent interest. There was no preferred stock outstanding, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the prior periods are the same.

REGULATORY MATTERS

 

We are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. As a bank holding company, KeyCorp is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. Under the BHCA, bank holding companies may not, in general, directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares, or substantially all of the assets, of any bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. In addition, bank holding companies are generally prohibited under the BHCA from engaging in commercial or industrial activities. KeyCorp’s bank subsidiaries are also subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by applicable Federal banking agencies. KeyCorp operates one full-service, FDIC-insured national bank subsidiary, KeyBank, and one national bank subsidiary whose activities are limited to those of a fiduciary. Both of KeyCorp’s national bank subsidiaries and their subsidiaries are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). Because the deposits in KeyBank are insured (up to applicable limits) by the FDIC, the FDIC also has certain regulatory and supervisory authority over KeyBank.

 

KeyCorp also has other financial services subsidiaries that are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve, as well as other applicable state and federal regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations. For example, KeyCorp’s brokerage and asset management subsidiaries are subject to supervision and regulation by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or the New York Stock Exchange and state securities regulators, and KeyCorp’s insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the insurance regulatory authorities of the various states. Other nonbank subsidiaries of KeyCorp are subject to other laws and regulations of both the federal government and the various states in which they are authorized to do business.

 

Our earnings are also affected by general economic conditions, our management policies and legislative action. In addition, there are numerous governmental requirements and regulations that affect our business activities. A change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on our business.

 

We are required by the Federal Reserve to maintain certain levels of capital for bank regulatory purposes. We expect that the common shares will be treated as Tier 1 capital of KeyCorp.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

 

The following section is a summary and does not describe every aspect of the common shares. We urge you to read our articles of incorporation and regulations because they describe your rights as a holder of common shares. We have filed our articles of incorporation and regulations as an exhibit to the registration statement that we have filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for information on how to obtain a copy of our articles of incorporation and regulations.

 

We may issue common shares in such amounts and proportion and for such consideration as may be fixed by our board of directors or a properly designated committee thereof. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we are authorized to issue up to 1,400,000,000 common shares. As of March 31, 2008, we had issued 491,888,780 common shares (including 91,818,259 common shares held in treasury). Our common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The transfer agent and registrar for our common shares is Computershare Investor Services LLC.

 

General

 

Holders of common shares are not entitled to preemptive or preferential rights. Our common shares have no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto. Our common shares do not have any conversion rights. The rights of holders of common shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

 

We may issue authorized but unissued common shares in connection with several employee benefit and stock option and incentive plans maintained by us or our subsidiaries, and our Direct Registration Plan.

 

The outstanding common shares are fully paid and non-assessable and future issuances of common shares, when fully paid for, will be non-assessable.

 

Dividends

 

When, as and if dividends are declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for their payment, the holders of common shares are entitled to share equally, share for share, in such dividends. The payment of dividends on our common shares is subject to the prior payment of dividends on our preferred stock.

 

Liquidation

 

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of our common shares are entitled to receive, on a share for share basis, any of our assets or funds available for distribution after we have paid in full all of our debts and distributions and the full liquidation preferences of all series of our outstanding preferred stock.

 

Voting Rights

 

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, holders of common shares have exclusive voting rights and are entitled to one vote for each common share on all matters voted upon by the shareholders. Holders of common shares do not have the right to cumulate their voting power.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

Our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program described in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and filed with the SEC (see “Where You Can Find More Information” above). At June 11, 2008, a remaining balance of approximately 14.0 million shares may be repurchased under this authorization.

Table of Contents

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES

TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

 

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares as of the date hereof. Except where noted, this summary deals only with common shares that are held as a capital asset by a non-U.S. holder.

 

A “non-U.S. holder” means a person (other than a partnership) that is not for U.S. federal income tax purposes any of the following:

 

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

 

•

a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

•

a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code,” and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including if you are a U.S. expatriate, “controlled foreign corporation,” “passive foreign investment company” or a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes). We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this summary.

 

If a partnership holds our common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common shares, you should consult your tax advisors.

 

If you are considering the purchase of our common shares, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the ownership of the common shares, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

 

Dividends

 

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder of our common shares generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment) are not subject to the withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

 

S-20

---

Table of Contents

A non-U.S. holder of our common shares who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if our common shares are held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

 

A non-U.S. holder of our common shares eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Gain on Disposition of Common Shares

 

Any gain realized on the disposition of our common shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

 

•

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder);

 

•

the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

 

•

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and certain other conditions are met. We believe we are not and do not anticipate becoming a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

An individual non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. If a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

 

Federal Estate Tax

 

Common shares held by an individual non-U.S. holder at the time of death will be included in such holder’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Generally, we must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

 

A non-U.S. holder will be (other than a holder that is otherwise subject to withholding as discussed above) subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of

 

S-21

Table of Contents

perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), such holder is presumed to be a U.S. person under applicable Treasury regulations, or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption. If you are subject to withholding you will not be subject to backup withholding.

 

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our common shares within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Table of Contents

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

 

Each person considering the use of plan assets of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh plan or other retirement plan, account or arrangement, or a “Plan,” to acquire or hold the common shares should consider whether an investment in the common shares would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the plan, and whether the investment would involve a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or “ERISA,” or Section 4975 of the Code.

 

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit plans subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts or insurance company pooled separate accounts or insurance company general accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans, or collectively, “Plans,” from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code, or “parties in interest” with respect to the Plan. A violation of these prohibited transaction rules may result in civil penalties or other liabilities under ERISA and/or an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code for those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption. Certain plans including those that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and foreign plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to the requirements of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but may be subject to similar provisions under applicable federal, state, local, foreign or other regulations, rules or laws, or “Similar Laws.”

 

The acquisition or holding of the common shares by a Plan with respect to which we or certain of our affiliates is or becomes a party in interest may constitute or result in prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the common shares are acquired or held pursuant to and in accordance with an applicable exemption.

 

Accordingly, the common shares may not be purchased or held by any Plan or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase or holding is eligible for the exemptive relief available under a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption, or “PTCE,” such as PTCE 96-23, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 90-1 or PTCE 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the common shares is not prohibited, such as the exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, or the “Service Provider Exemption,” for certain transactions with non-fiduciary service providers for transactions that are for adequate consideration. Each purchaser or holder of the common shares or any interest therein, and each person making the decision to purchase or hold the common shares on behalf of any such purchaser or holder will be deemed to have represented and warranted in both its individual capacity and its representative capacity (if any), that on each day from the date on which the purchaser or holder acquires its interest in the common shares to the date on which the purchaser disposes of its interest in the common shares, that such purchaser and holder, by its purchase or holding of the common shares or any interest therein that (a) its purchase and holding of the common shares is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan, or (b) if its purchase and holding of the common shares is made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of a Plan, then (i) its purchase and holding of the common shares will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (ii) neither KeyCorp nor any of our affiliates is acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA in connection with the purchase or holding of the common shares and has not provided any advice that has formed or may form a basis for any investment decision concerning the purchase or holding of the common shares. Each purchaser and holder of the common shares or any interest therein on behalf of any governmental plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase or holding of the common shares or any interest therein that such purchase and holding does not violate any applicable Similar Laws or rules.

 

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in nonexempt prohibited transactions, it is important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the common shares on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan or plan asset entity consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief under any of the PTCEs listed above or any other applicable exemption, or the potential consequences of any purchase or holding under Similar Laws, as applicable.

We have agreed, subject to certain exceptions with respect to, inter alia, stock options or other stock awards pursuant to our employee benefit and related plans and the concurrent Preferred Stock Offering, that we will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our common shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive our common shares (other than common shares offered in this offering), without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.

 

In addition, certain of our directors and senior officers have agreed, subject to certain exceptions with respect to, inter alia, gifts, transfers to family members, estate planning transactions and transfers by operation of law, that such directors and senior officers will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any common shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any common shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive KeyCorp common shares except with the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.

 

In accordance with Regulation M under the Act, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or cover, each of which is described below.

 

•

Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position for the underwriters.

 

S-24

Table of Contents

•

Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the common shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price.

 

•

Covering transactions involve exercises of the underwriters’ over-allotment option or purchases of the common shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions.

 

These transactions may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares. They may also cause the price of the common shares to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

 

We have been advised by the underwriters that, prior to purchasing the common shares and the shares being offered in the Preferred Stock Offering, on the date of this prospectus supplement the sole bookrunner purchased on behalf of the syndicate, an aggregate of 1,669,800 common shares at a price of $11.9217 per share in stabilizing transactions.

 

The common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KEY.” After the distribution of the common shares, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., a joint lead manager of this offering, will not be able to make a market in the common shares due to certain regulatory restrictions arising from its affiliation with KeyCorp. Additionally, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. will not be able to effect any transactions for the account of any customers in the common shares, except on a limited unsolicited basis.

 

KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. is a subsidiary of KeyCorp. Accordingly, the offering of the common shares will conform to the requirements set forth in Rule 2720 of the NASD Conduct Rules adopted by the FINRA. The underwriters may not confirm sales to any discretionary account without the prior specific written approval of a customer. Additionally, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. is not permitted to and will not be publishing research reports or otherwise expressing opinions or providing recommendations regarding KeyCorp or the common shares.

 

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering, assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional 12,765,957 shares.

 

		No Exercise			Full Exercise
Per common share		$	0.3525		$	0.3525
Total		$	30,000,000		$	34,500,000

 

We estimate that our total expenses for the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $750,000.

 

Certain of the underwriters and certain of their respective affiliates have performed banking, investment banking, custodial and advisory services for us and our affiliates, from time to time, for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business. One of the underwriters, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., is our wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

 

The underwriters have agreed that they will not offer, sell or deliver any common shares, directly or indirectly, or distribute this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus or any other offering material related to the common shares, in or from any jurisdiction, except when to the best knowledge and belief of such underwriters it is permitted under applicable laws and regulations. In so doing, such underwriters will not impose any obligations on KeyCorp, except as set forth in the underwriting agreement.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of KeyCorp incorporated by reference in KeyCorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the effectiveness of KeyCorp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon, incorporated by reference therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements and KeyCorp’s management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of KeyCorp for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, Ernst & Young LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, Ernst & Young LLP’s separate report dated May 5, 2008, included in KeyCorp’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and incorporated by reference herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Ernst & Young LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by Ernst & Young LLP within the meanings of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS RATIOS

 

The following table shows our consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for each of the years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2007, and for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

For the purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, we divided consolidated income, before income taxes and the cumulative effect of accounting changes, plus fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of:

 

•

consolidated interest expense, excluding or including interest on deposits, as the case may be; and

 

•

that portion of rental expense that is deemed representative of the interest factor, net of income from subleases.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of KeyCorp incorporated by reference in KeyCorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the effectiveness of KeyCorp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon, incorporated by reference therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements and KeyCorp’s management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of KeyCorp for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, incorporated by reference in this prospectus, Ernst & Young LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated May 5, 2008, included in KeyCorp’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and incorporated by reference herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Ernst & Young LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by Ernst & Young LLP within the meanings of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
