In early May, the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department told the nation's 19 biggest financial institutions to come up with $74.6 billion in capital to fortify their balance sheets. PNC announced May 14 that it would offer 15 million shares of common stock from time to time.
PNC also said it would redeem "as soon as appropriate" Treasury's $7.6 billion in preferred shares the bank sold in December as part of the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program. The bank said it also had no plans to convert those shares to common stock.
