Financial services companies, including Key, face increasing criticism with accompanying reputational risk from social activists, politicians, investors, and environmental activists stakeholders who target companies, including Key, believe companies should be focusing more or less on environmental, social, political, and governance matters. Companies in our industry are also targeted for engaging or not engaging in business with clients engaged specific customers or with customers in industries which such activists perceive to be harmful to communities or the environment. Such criticism directed at Key could generate dissatisfaction among our stakeholders. particular industries. Additionally, however we respond to such criticism, we face the risk that current or potential clients customers may decline to do business with us (or encourage others to do so) or current or potential employees refuse to work with us. for us and could subject us to litigation or regulatory action. This can be true regardless of whether we are perceived by some as not having done enough to address activist these concerns or by others as having inappropriately yielded to activist stakeholder pressures. Conversely, there exists anti-environmental, social and governance (ESG) and anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) sentiment among certain stakeholders and government institutions, which has gained momentum across the U.S. For example, President Trump recently issued an executive order opposing DEI initiatives in the private sector, and certain states have

We determine the payment/performance risk associated with each type of guarantee described below based on the probability that we could be required to make the maximum potential undiscounted future payments shown in the preceding table. We use a scale of low (0% to 30% probability of payment), moderate (greater than 30% to 70% probability of payment), or high (greater than 70% probability of payment) to assess the payment/performance risk, and have determined that the payment/performance risk associated with each type of guarantee outstanding at December 31, 2024, is low.

AddedRisk Factors
After disruptions in 2022 through early 2024 as a result of the increases in the Fed Funds rate and dislocations in the office sector as a result of COVID-19, the commercial and residential real estate markets have remained relatively steady over the past 18 months as they have adjusted to a more “normalized” rate environment. Capitalization rates and commercial property prices have been supported by a continued inflow of capital into the real estate markets. However, potential headwinds (labor market, geo-political, rate environment) could impact the real estate markets and Key’s portfolio moving forward.

at muted levels over the past two years, oversupply of multifamily housing is a concern in certain urban markets. This oversupply has resulted in higher vacancy rates and put pressure on some borrowers to achieve underwritten rents. These two factors impact the ability of borrowers to generate sufficient cash flow in order to make debt service payments on loans or to refinance the loans at maturity. Key’s risk to any specific market is limited, with all metropolitan statistical area concentrations less than 4%. Further, Key has limited its exposure to rent-controlled properties across the country, with no exposure to rent-controlled properties in New York City.

AddedRisk Factors
An inability to grow cash flow or pressure on expenses created by supply chain, insurance, or interest rate increases would result in an increase in the level of payment defaults within the sector, as well as limiting refinance options. Further, these pressures would likely result in an outflow of capital from the real estate markets, which would in turn drive up capitalization rates and decrease property values.We are subject to the risk of defaults by our loan clients and counterparties.

AddedRisk Factors
To facilitate our wholesale funding and other business activities, we maintain credit ratings with three major credit rating agencies, and their assessments of our capital and liquidity are prominent determinants of our credit ratings. Additionally, from time to time, the agencies revise their bank rating methodologies and may increase their expectations of the amount and/or type of capital and liquidity we hold in order to maintain our investment grade credit ratings. In certain cases, those rating agency requirements may exceed regulatory requirements, making the

AddedRisk Factors
We rely on customer deposits as a low-cost and stable source of funding. KeyBank competes with banks and other financial institutions, and increasingly with non-banks that offer non-deposit and other alternative savings vehicles, such as stablecoins, for deposits. If demand for deposit alternatives were to grow materially, KeyBank could experience deposit outflows or be compelled to materially increase deposit interest rates to retain its deposits. Customers may also shift their deposits from non-interest bearing to interest bearing accounts or otherwise to higher cost products at KeyBank. Our ability to maintain and grow deposits may be constrained by gaps in our product offerings, emerging technologies and changes in consumer behaviors and preferences, our scale relative to other banks and financial institutions, underlying macroeconomic conditions and monetary policy, and loss of confidence in our brand and our business. To the extent that KeyBank is unable to retain deposits, funding costs may increase as such deposits are replaced with more expensive wholesale funding. Any adverse movement in deposits and associated higher funding costs could reduce our net interest margin and net interest income and otherwise materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
