Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On December 22, 2005, KeyCorp filed a Form 8-K stating among other things that the Employment Agreement of Henry L. Meyer III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of KeyCorp, would be revised at year-end 2006. The Agreement was amended effective January 1, 2007 to reduce the lump sum severance benefit payable thereunder in the event Mr. Meyer’s employment is terminated by Key for any reason other than Cause, disability or death or if Meyer is Constructively Terminated, with or without a Change of Control. The lump sum severance benefit was reduced by excluding from the calculation thereof 50% of his Average Long Term Incentive Compensation. The Agreement was also updated to reflect Mr. Meyer’s current salary; to reflect changes in medical, life insurance and deferral or savings plans; and to provide indemnification for litigation or liability arising out of Mr. Meyer’s service as a committee member or other fiduciary of any employee benefit plan maintained by Key.
     A copy of the amended Employment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
