Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
National City Corporation filed its Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and the financial results contained in the filing have been revised from the amounts reported at the time of the company’s earnings release on October 21. On October 24, 2008, the company executed a definitive agreement to be acquired by PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The value of the total consideration as of the announcement date was less than the company’s book value and approximately equal to its market capitalization at that time. This event prompted the company to test goodwill for impairment in light of the stated transaction price. As a result of that test, the company determined that a write-off of $1.34 billion of goodwill, all associated with the Corporate Banking business line, was appropriate as of September 30. Reflecting this non-cash charge, the third quarter net loss is now $2.1 billion, versus $729 million previously reported, and net loss per share is $7.40, versus $5.86 previously reported. Stockholders’ Equity is revised to $15.8 billion, versus $17.2 billion previously reported. There is no effect on tangible equity, cash flow, or regulatory capital. Reference is made to the news release attached hereto as exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b)   Pro Forma Financial Information: Not applicable
