ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Mike Maguire, Chief Financial Officer of Truist Financial Corporation (“Truist”), will speak at the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference in New York City on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. ET. In connection with Mr. Maguire’s presentation, Truist is disclosing information about a recently signed transaction related to its strategic decision to exit the near-prime auto lending business and the potential financial impacts and illustrative uses of proceeds from the transaction, which information is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Information contained on Truist’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information in the preceding paragraph, as well as Exhibit 99.1, are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information may only be incorporated by reference into another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing specifically references Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "pursue," "seek," "continue," "estimate," "project," "outlook," "forecast," "potential," "target," "objective," "trend," "plan," "goal," "initiative," "priorities," or other words of comparable meaning or future-tense or conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "should," "would," or "could." Forward-looking statements convey Truist’s expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond Truist’s control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, and results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. While no list of assumptions, risks, and uncertainties could be complete, some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events or circumstances to differ from those in Truist’s forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in Truist’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Truist’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by Truist or on its behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. Truist does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made, except as required by applicable securities laws. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that Truist may make in any subsequent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Current Report on Form 8-K.
