Proxy Summary To assist you in reviewing the proposals to be acted upon, we have included a summary of certain information. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider, and you should should review our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the entire proxy statement before you vote.

You may also read our proxy statement at www.pnc.com/proxystatement.

Who can vote (page 85) You must be a shareholder of record as of January 31, 2013 to vote at the annual meeting.

How to cast your vote (page 86) We offer our shareholders a number of ways to vote, including by Internet, telephone, or mail. A shareholder of record may always vote in person by submitting a ballot at the annual meeting.

Voting matters Item 1: Election of directors (page 11)

• The proxy statement contains important information about the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills of the 16 nominees to our Board of Directors. Our Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee performs an annual assessment to confirm that your directors continue to have the skills and experience to serve PNC, and that our Board and its committees continue to be effective in the oversight of management.

• Our Board recommends that you vote FOR all 16 director nominees.

Item 2: Ratification of auditors (page 77)

• Each year, our Board’s Audit Committee selects PNC’s independent registered public accounting firm. For 2013, the Audit Committee selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) to fulfill this role.

• Our Board recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the Audit Committee’s selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2013.

Item 3: “Say-on-pay” (page 80)

• We ask shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote on our executive compensation program – known generally as the “say-on-pay” vote. We have offered a say-on-pay vote since 2009, and our shareholders confirmed their preference for annual votes in 2011. Last year, 96% of the votes cast by our shareholders supported our executive compensation program, and PNC has averaged 96% support for say-on-pay over the past four years.

• We recommend that you read the CD&A (beginning on page 34), which explains how and why our Board’s Personnel and Compensation Committee made executive compensation decisions for 2012.

• Our Board recommends that you vote FOR the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation (say-on-pay).

Item 4: Shareholder proposal (page 82)

• You will also be asked to consider a shareholder proposal described in this proxy statement. The proposal asks PNC to report to shareholders on our assessment of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from our lending portfolio and our exposure to climate change risk in lending, investing and financing activities.

• Our Board recommends that you vote AGAINST the shareholder proposal.

PNC performance highlights (page 36) • In 2012, we performed well in a highly challenging environment and continued to grow customers, revenues, loans, and deposits.

• We further strengthened our balance sheet and remained a core-funded bank.

• We continued to make strategic investments to grow PNC’s franchise for sustainable long-term growth.

• We successfully integrated RBC Bank (USA), giving us access to the southeastern United States, a highly desirable market.

• While the current environment remains challenging, with low interest rates and slow economic growth, we recognize that we operate in a cyclical business and have made strategic investments and used capital to grow our franchise for the long-term.

• We managed risk throughout the enterprise, with improving credit quality.

• We have entered the Basel parallel run process and are well-positioned to achieve regulatory capital goals.

• We increased our dividend again in 2012 and generated a positive total shareholder return for the year.

• We earned record employee engagement scores and we were recognized as a Gallup Great Workplace winner.

PNC compensation (page 34) At the beginning of 2012, our Board’s Personnel and Compensation Committee set total compensation targets for our NEOs, which included a base salary and an incentive compensation target.

• See page 40 for a diagram of our compensation process.

The Committee determined a corporate performance factor, expressed as a percentage of the total incentive compensation targets for executives. This percentage reflected an evaluation of measurable performance metrics, both absolute and relative, as well as an assessment of management’s performance against strategic goals and other key considerations.

Based on a review of PNC’s performance for 2012, the Committee established a corporate performance factor of 90%.

• See pages 41-44 for a discussion of performance and the corporate performance factor.

The Committee also made a one-time adjustment to each NEO to offset a change in our long-term incentive program, that will reduce the compensation opportunity if PNC performs well in the future. (See pages 43-44 for more information on this.)

For purposes of this chart, we calculated the CEO performance year compensation on an annualized basis, by adding the base salary for each of the three years, and the incentive compensation amounts awarded for performance during that year.

For each year of the three-year period, as shown in the Summary compensation table on page 53, we added the amounts included in the “Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns for that year to the amount included in the “Stock Awards” column for the following year. For 2010 and 2011, the amounts include the grant date fair value of the incentive performance units and performance-based restricted share units granted in the first quarter of the following year, including the special performance-based restricted share unit award granted in 2011. For 2012, we used the total incentive compensation awarded amount ($6,428,000) shown in the table above.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (ITEM 1) Our Board of Directors determines the number of directors to nominate for election. Our by-laws contemplate a Board that ranges in size from five to 36 directors. For this annual meeting, our Board fixed the number of directors to be elected at 16.

Each of the 16 nominees currently serves on our Board. Beginning on page 12, we include the following information for each nominee:

• their names and ages

• the years they first became directors of PNC

• their principal occupations and public company directorships over the past five years

• a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to our Board’s conclusion that the person should serve as a director, in light of our business and structure

The directors will serve for one year, unless they leave the Board early. We do not stagger our elections – the entire Board will be considered for re-election at the 2013 meeting. If elected, the nominee will hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders, and until the election and qualification of their successors.

Each nominee consents to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. Our Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable or unable to serve as a director.

In addition to information on the background and qualifications of each director, this proxy statement contains other important information related to your evaluation of our nominees. We discuss:

• our Board’s leadership structure

• how our Board operates

• relationships between PNC and our directors

• how we evaluate director independence

• how we pay our directors

See the following sections for more details on these topics:

• Corporate Governance (page 17)

• Primary Board Committees (page 19)

• Director and Executive Officer Relationships (page 27)

• Director Compensation (page 32)

• Security Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers (page 75)

Your proxy, unless you direct otherwise, will be voted FOR all of the nominees named on pages 12 to 16. See page 87 regarding the vote required for election of the nominees as directors.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees listed on pages 12 to 16.
