Dear Salary Savings Program Participant:
The Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of State Street Corporation will be held on May 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Accompanying this direction form are the 2019 Annual Report, Notice of 2020 Meeting of Shareholders and the Proxy Statement containing information
about the proposals to be voted on by shareholders at the meeting.
A participant in the State Street Salary Savings Program, or SSP, with company stock in the SSP is
considered a named fiduciary and may direct the trustee on how to vote that participant’s allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the SSP. If the trustee does not timely receive direction from a participant as to how to
vote the participant’s allocated shares, as set forth on the reverse side of this form, the trustee will vote the participant’s allocated shares on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants. If a
matter arises at the meeting, or such other time as affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the trustee will follow the direction of the Committee designated by the Plan Sponsor (or its designee), unless doing so would be a
breach of the trustee’s fiduciary duty. Voting of allocated shares will occur as described above unless the trustee or SSP plan administrator (or its designee), as applicable, determines that doing so would result in a breach of its fiduciary
duty.
You must direct the trustee in advance of the meeting so that the trustee, the registered owner of all the shares held in the SSP, can vote in a timely way. Please
provide your direction on the Internet, by telephone or by mail by following the instructions on the reverse side of this direction form. The trustee must receive your direction no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 18, 2020 for your
direction to be counted. Your direction will be held in confidence by the trustee. You may not provide this direction at the Annual Meeting. You may change your direction to the trustee by submitting a new direction. The last direction the trustee
receives by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 18, 2020 will be the only one counted. If your direction by mail is received on the same day as one received electronically, the electronic direction will be followed.
Participants are strongly encouraged to direct the trustee how to vote their allocated share. If you have any questions, please call the GHR Service Center at
+1-855-447-7007, or internally at ext. 77007, or e-mail to
“GHRSERVICECTR@STATESTREET.COM.”
Thank you for voting.

Company, Trustee

STATE STREET CORPORATION
Annual Meeting of Shareholders—May 20, 2020
DIRECTION TO THE TRUSTEE
As a participant in the State Street Salary Savings Program, I hereby direct State Street
Bank and Trust Company, as trustee, to vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or at any adjournment thereof, the allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the
Salary Savings Program that I am entitled under that Program to direct, as indicated on the reverse side of this form.
Each of the matters to come before the meeting is
described in the notice of, and proxy statement for, the meeting, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. If a matter arises at the meeting, or such other time which affords no practical means for securing participant direction, the trustee will
follow the recommendation of the Committee designated by the Plan Sponsor (or its designee), unless the trustee determines that doing so would result in a breach of the trustee’s fiduciary duty. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
election of the eleven director nominees and FOR Items 2 and 3. The shares represented by this form will be voted in accordance with the specifications made in this direction. To direct the trustee in accordance with the recommendations of the Board
of Directors, just sign and date on the reverse side of this form; no boxes need to be checked. If no direction is given to the trustee with respect to the shares represented by this direction (by this direction form, the Internet or telephone), the
trustee will vote the participant’s allocated share of State Street Corporation common stock held in the Salary Savings Program on the same proportional basis as the shares that are directed by other participants. Voting of allocated shares
will occur as described above unless the trustee or Salary Savings Program plan administrator (or its designee), as applicable, determines that doing so would result in a breach of its fiduciary duty.
You do not have to use this form if you have used the Internet or telephone to direct the trustee, unless you want to change your direction. To use this form, please check the appropriate
boxes (or, to follow the recommendations of the Board of Directors, you may leave the boxes unchecked), sign, date and return this form promptly using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
