At December 31, 2009, the total outstanding unrecognized net loss to be recognized in future years for all pension and
postretirement benefits was $0.7 billion, compared to $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2008. The key sources of the
cumulative net losses are attributable to lower discount rates for the past several years and lower return on assets in 2008. As
discussed previously, SunTrust reviews its assumptions annually to ensure they represent the best estimates for the future and
will, therefore, minimize future gains and losses.
