SunTrust and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns where permissible or required. Each
subsidiary generally remits current taxes to or receives current refunds from the Parent Company based
on what would be required had the subsidiary filed an income tax return as a separate entity. Deferred
tax assets resulting from state net operating loss carryforwards consist of $38.7 million (net of a
valuation allowance of $6.1 million) for 2006 and $28.3 million (net of valuation allowance of $2.8
million) for 2005. The state net operating losses expire, if not utilized, in varying amounts from 2007 to
2023.
The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are subject to review and examination by
government authorities. Various examinations are now in progress. In the opinion of management, any
future adjustments which may result from these examinations should not have a material effect on the
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

key employees provides for potential annual cash awards based on the attainment of the Company’s
earnings and/or the achievement of business unit and individual performance objectives. The

earnings performance in relation to earnings goals established by the Compensation Committee
