Item 8.01 Other Events

On June 29, 2016, the Federal Reserve announced that it did not object to KeyCorp’s capital plan submitted as part of the Federal Reserve’s 2016 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. The capital plan, which occurs over a four-quarter time period, includes a common share repurchase program of up to $350 million. Share repurchases under the capital plan have been authorized by KeyCorp’s Board of Directors and include repurchases to offset issuances of common shares under Key’s employee compensation plans. KeyCorp anticipates repurchasing common shares under the 2016 capital plan following the completion of the acquisition of First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. through June 30, 2017.

In the second quarter of 2017, the Board of Directors will consider a potential increase in KeyCorp’s quarterly common share dividend, from $0.085 per share up to $0.095 per share.

A copy of the press release announcing these actions is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
