PART II
Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The principal market in which the common stock of the Company is traded is the NYSE. See Item 6 and Table 38 in the MD&A
for information on the high and the low sales prices of SunTrust common stock on the NYSE, which is incorporated herein by
reference. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we paid a quarterly dividend on common stock of $0.01 per common share
for the first two quarters and $0.05 per common share for the third and fourth quarters, compared to a quarterly dividend on
common stock of $0.01 per common share during the year ended December 31, 2010. Our common stock is held of record by
approximately 33,821 holders as of December 31, 2011. See "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" below
for information on share repurchase activity, announced programs, and the remaining buy-back authority under the announced
programs, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Please also refer to Item 1, “Business—Government Supervision and Regulation,” for a discussion of legal restrictions which
affect our ability to pay dividends; Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for a discussion of some risks related to our dividend, and Item 7,
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capital Resources,” for a discussion
of the dividends paid during the year and factors that may affect the future level of dividends.
The information under the caption “Equity Compensation Plans” in our definitive proxy statement to be filed with the SEC is
incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
Set forth below is a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder return on our common
stock against the cumulative total return of the S&P Composite-500 Stock Index and the S&P Commercial Bank Industry Index
for the five years commencing December 31, 2006 and ending December 31, 2011. The foregoing analysis assumes an initial $100
investment in our stock and each index and the reinvestment of all dividends during the periods presented.
