PROXY STATEMENT
March 15, 1994
The accompanying Proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Mellon Bank
Corporation for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation
scheduled to be held on Tuesday, April 19, 1994. Proxies are being solicited
from holders of the Corporation's common stock, par value $0.50 per share (the
"Common Stock"), and holders of the Corporation's Series D Junior Preferred
Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Series D Stock"). If the Proxy is
properly executed and returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted
and, where specification is made by the shareholder as provided therein, will
be voted in accordance with such specification, subject to limitations
applicable to the Series D Stock and certain shares of Common Stock, as
described below. The Proxy may, nevertheless, be revoked by notice to the
Secretary of the Corporation at any time prior to the voting thereof. In
addition, shareholders who attend the annual meeting may, if they wish, vote in
person even though they have submitted a Proxy, in which event, their Proxy
will be deemed to have been revoked.
Subject to the limitations described below, unless a Proxy is revoked or
contains other instructions, the shares represented thereby will be voted at
the meeting FOR the election as directors of the nominees of the Board of
Directors set forth below (Proxy Item 1) and FOR ratification of the
appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick as independent public accountants of the
Corporation for the year 1994 (Proxy Item 2). The Proxy also provides that the
persons authorized thereunder may, in the absence of instructions to the
contrary, vote or act in accordance with their judgment on any other matter
properly presented for action at the meeting.
The close of business on Tuesday, February 15, 1994, has been fixed by the
Board of Directors as the record date for the determination of shareholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment
thereof. As of that date, the Corporation had outstanding 63,583,252 shares of
Common Stock and 2,236,226 shares of Series D Stock. Proxies, ballots and
voting tabulations that identify individual holders of Common Stock will be
held in confidence by the Corporation's transfer agent. The vote of any holder
of Common Stock will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal
requirements, in the case of a contested proxy solicitation or as may be
requested by the particular shareholder.
Holders of Common Stock and Series D Stock generally vote together, and not as
separate classes, and do not have cumulative voting rights. At the annual
meeting, holders of Common Stock and Series D Stock will be entitled to one
vote for each share held. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements under which
the Series D Stock was issued and pursuant to which certain shares of Series D
Stock were exchanged for Common Stock, all shares of Series D Stock and those
shares of Common Stock held by Warburg, Pincus Capital Company, L.P. and
Warburg, Pincus Capital Partners, L.P. will be voted FOR the election of the
nominees named below and will be voted as directed by the holder on all other
matters; provided, however, that all shares of Series D Stock and those shares
of Common Stock held by Warburg, Pincus Capital Company, L.P. and Warburg,
Pincus Capital Partners, L.P. will be voted on such other matters in a manner
that is no less favorable to the position recommended by the Board of Directors
than the allocation of the votes cast by all other shareholders of the
Corporation voting on such other matters.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (PROXY ITEM 1)
The By-Laws of the Corporation provide that the directors of the Corporation
shall be classified into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible,
with such classes of directors serving staggered, three-year terms of office.
Accordingly, at each annual meeting of shareholders, a class consisting of
approximately one-third of the Corporation's directors is elected to hold
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in
the third year following the year of their election and until their successors
have been duly elected and qualified. The By-Laws further provide that the
Corporation's Board of Directors shall consist of such number of directors as
shall be fixed from time to time by a majority vote of the full Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at 18
beginning April 19, 1994, and at this year's annual meeting of shareholders,
seven directors will be elected for terms ending in 1997. Burton C. Borgelt,
Carol R. Brown, Frank V. Cahouet, Charles A. Corry, C. Frederick Fetterolf,
Andrew W. Mathieson and Seward Prosser Mellon, all of whom are presently
serving as directors, have been nominated for election at this year's annual
meeting.
Any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, retirement,
resignation, disqualification, removal from office or other cause, as well as
any vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors that occurs
between annual meetings of shareholders, will be filled by a majority vote of
the remaining directors then in office. Directors so chosen to fill vacancies
will hold office until the expiration of the term of the class to which they
have been elected.
It is intended that the shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed
Proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees named below, unless such
authority to vote for one or more of the nominees is withheld. Pursuant to the
terms of the agreements mentioned above, all shares of Series D Stock
represented by the enclosed Proxy will be voted FOR the election of the
nominees named below. In the event that one or more of the nominees is unable
or unwilling to serve as a director, the persons named in the Proxy will vote
for the election of such substitute nominee, if any, as shall be named by the
Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no
reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve
as a director, as each of the nominees has expressed a willingness to serve if
elected.
Certain information regarding the nominees for election at this year's annual
meeting, as well as information regarding the continuing directors whose terms
expire in 1995 and 1996, is set forth below. Each of the nominees other than
Messrs. Borgelt and Corry and Ms. Brown were previously elected by the
shareholders at the Corporation's 1991 annual meeting of shareholders. Mr.
Borgelt and Mr. Corry were elected by the Board of Directors in 1991 and Ms.
Brown was elected by the Board of Directors in 1992.

THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES; DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors held 12 regular meetings and one special meeting during
1993. Each incumbent director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate
number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of which he or she was a
member during the period served in 1993. With the exception of the Executive
Committee, all committees of the Board of Directors are composed of directors
who are not officers of the Corporation.
A list of the committees of the Board of Directors and a general description of
their respective duties follows:
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Executive Committee has the power and authority of the Board of Directors
to manage the affairs of the Corporation between meetings of the Board of
Directors. The Committee also regularly reviews significant corporate matters
and recommends action as appropriate to the Board. The Executive Committee met
14 times during 1993. Members of the Executive Committee presently are: Frank
V. Cahouet (Chairman); Charles A. Corry; Ira J. Gumberg; John C. Marous (a
director whose term will not continue after the Annual Meeting); Andrew W.
Mathieson; David S. Shapira; H. Robert Sharbaugh; Richard M. Smith (a director
whose term will not continue after the Annual Meeting); W. Keith Smith and
Wesley W. von Schack.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee oversees the credit policies, accounting practices,
auditing policies, controls and other material financial matters of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee met 13 times during 1993.
The Committee meets monthly with the head of the Auditing Department of the
Corporation and with representatives of the Corporation's independent public
accountants when necessitated, with and without representatives of management
present, to review accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters,
including the review of audit plans. Appointment of the independent public
accountants is made by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the
Audit Committee and is ratified by the shareholders. Members of the Audit
Committee presently are: Richard M. Smith (Chairman); Wesley W. von Schack
(Vice Chairman); J. W. Connolly; Charles A. Corry; Ira J. Gumberg; David S.
Shapira; and H. Robert Sharbaugh.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The Nominating Committee considers and recommends to the Board of Directors of
the Corporation and to the Boards of Directors of its various significant
subsidiaries such as Mellon Bank, Mellon Bank (DE), Mellon Bank (MD), Boston
Safe Deposit and Trust Company (together referred to as the "Banks") and The
Boston Company, candidates for nomination for election as directors of the
respective entities. The Committee also considers nominees recommended by
shareholders for election as directors of the Corporation. To make such a
recommendation, a shareholder should submit in writing the name, address and
qualifications of the proposed nominee to the Secretary of the Corporation, One
Mellon Bank Center, Room 1820, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15258-0001. In
addition, the By-Laws of the Corporation set forth specific procedures that, if
followed, enable any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors
to make nominations directly at a meeting of shareholders. The procedures set
forth in the By-Laws include a requirement for written notice to the
Corporation at least 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the previous
year's annual meeting of shareholders.
The Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors of the
Corporation and the Boards of Directors of the Banks and various significant
subsidiaries policies relating to practices and responsibilities of the Boards
of Directors and their various committees and the level of directors' fees. The
Nominating Committee met four times during 1993. Members of the Nominating
Committee presently are: John C. Marous (Chairman); Andrew W. Mathieson (Vice
Chairman); Pemberton Hutchinson; and Richard M. Smith.
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE
The Human Resources Committee establishes the compensation and benefits of the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and such senior officers of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries as the
6
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Committee designates and administers the Corporation's Profit Bonus Plan and
Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (1981), including the making of awards
thereunder. The Committee met eight times during 1993. Members of the Human
Resources Committee presently are: Andrew W. Mathieson (Chairman); John C.
Marous (Vice Chairman); J. W. Connolly; Charles A. Corry; C. Frederick
Fetterolf; H. Robert Sharbaugh; and William J. Young.
TRUST AND INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The Trust and Investment Committee has general oversight of the trust and
investment activities of the Corporation's subsidiaries. It ensures that assets
held in a fiduciary capacity are being administered in accordance with
applicable law and regulations. It also acts as a channel independent of
management through which auditing and bank examination reports regarding trust
and investment activities are presented to the Banks' Boards of Directors. The
Committee is also responsible for overseeing the administration of fiduciary
responsibilities for the non-bank subsidiaries of the Corporation and has
general oversight responsibilities for the trust departments of the Banks. The
Committee met six times during 1993. Members of the Trust and Investment
Committee presently are: William J. Young (Chairman); Pemberton Hutchinson
(Vice Chairman); Burton C. Borgelt; David S. Shapira; and Richard M. Smith.
COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY COMMITTEE
The Community Responsibility Committee has general oversight responsibility
for, and may take such action as the Committee deems necessary or desirable in
connection with, the Corporation's policy concerning overall compliance with
the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and the CRA Statement made by each of
the Banks with respect to the communities it serves, community affairs
activities including charitable contributions and contributions of human
services. In addition to these oversight responsibilities, the Committee also
has specific responsibilities for reviewing the Corporation's overall policy
and objectives concerning CRA activities and monitoring each Bank's compliance
with CRA. The Committee also reviews the examination reports of the Corporation
and the Banks by regulatory authorities concerning CRA compliance and renders a
report to the Board with respect thereto. The Committee met three times during
1993. Members of the Community Responsibility Committee presently are: Wesley
W. von Schack (Chairman); C. Frederick Fetterolf (Vice Chairman); Burton C.
Borgelt; Carol R. Brown; and Pemberton Hutchinson.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Each director of the Corporation who does not receive a salary from the
Corporation or one of its subsidiaries currently receives a monthly retainer of
$2,083 and, in addition, a per meeting fee of $750 for each meeting at which
such director renders services to the Corporation, including meetings of
shareholders, the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors
on which such director serves, and separate meetings with senior management of
the Corporation at which services are rendered. Effective April 19, 1994,
subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the per meeting fee of $750
will be increased to $900 per meeting. In addition, each director who serves as
a Committee chairman receives a quarterly retainer ranging from $500 to $625,
according to the Committee on which he serves. Any such director who also
serves on the Board of Directors of one of the Banks and who attends a meeting
of that Bank's Board of Directors on a day when the Corporation's Board of
Directors does not meet is paid a per meeting fee of not more than $750 ($900
effective April 19, 1994) for attending such meeting. Non-employee directors
may defer all or a portion of their fees pursuant to the terms of an elective
deferred compensation plan, which pays interest at a rate based on the 120
month moving average rates on 10-year Treasury Notes, plus a premium based on
service which is credited retroactively upon termination of service. During
1993, Mr. Gumberg met with senior managers of the Corporation or Mellon Bank on
five occasions to assist the Corporation and Mellon Bank in connection with
certain commercial real estate credits. For his services, Mr. Gumberg was
compensated at the standard $750 per meeting fee for directors.
In addition, directors receive stock option grants under the Corporation's
Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (1989), a formula plan under which
options to purchase Common Stock are granted to all non-employee directors each
year on the third business day following the Corporation's annual meeting of
shareholders. Currently, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each
option is equal to 5.4% of the dollar value of the annual retainer for the
service year in which the option is
7
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
granted. Directors elected during the service year receive an option covering a
prorated number of shares but with all other terms identical to those options
granted on the regular grant date. All options have a term of 10 years, are not
exercisable until one year from the regular grant date (at which time they
become fully exercisable), and have an exercise price equal to the closing
price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the regular grant
date. Options that have not become exercisable are forfeited as of the date the
optionee ceases to serve as a director for any reason other than the director's
death, disability or completion of term of service. Options that have become
exercisable remain exercisable throughout their 10-year term, regardless of
whether the optionee is a director at the time of exercise. In April 1993, each
of the directors, except Messrs. Cahouet, Lee, Mehrabian, W. Keith Smith and
Thomas, was granted an option covering 1,350 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $56.00 per share. Upon their election to the Board of
Directors subsequent to the 1993 Annual Meeting, Messrs. Lee, Mehrabian and
Thomas, were granted options covering 577, 404 and 788 shares, respectively,
representing a pro rata share of a full year's award.
In January, 1994 the Corporation instituted a Director's Retirement Plan to
assure that compensation arrangements for directors of the Corporation are
adequate to attract and retain highly qualified individuals. Under the
Retirement Plan an eligible director will receive monthly benefits equal to the
monthly retainer in effect at his or her time of retirement from the Board for
a period equal to the total months of service on the Board but no longer than
120 months. Only directors who are not officers of the Corporation are eligible
to receive this benefit and a director must serve on the Board for at least
five years before this benefit vests.
As part of its overall program to promote charitable giving, the Corporation is
establishing a Director's Charitable Giving Program to be funded by
Corporation-owned life insurance policies on the directors. Under the program,
upon the death of a director, the Corporation will donate up to an aggregate of
$250,000 to one or more qualifying charitable organizations designated by the
director. The donations are paid by the Corporation over a 10-year period
following the director's death and the Corporation is reimbursed for the
donation by the life insurance proceeds. A director must have served the Board
for three years to be eligible to participate in the program. As a result of
the life insurance funding, the program is not expected to result in any
material cost to the Corporation.
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS; RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Certain directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of the
Corporation and their associates were customers of and had transactions with
one or more of the Banks in the ordinary course of business during 1993.
Similar transactions may be expected to take place in the future. Loans and
commitments included in such transactions were made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than
the normal risk of collectibility, nor did they present other unfavorable
features. The Banks, in the ordinary course of business, also engage in
purchases and sales of government and municipal securities and in other money
market transactions with certain directors, executive officers and principal
shareholders of the Corporation and their associates. In addition, the Banks
act as fiduciaries under various employee benefit plans of certain customers,
the officers of which are directors of the Corporation and of Mellon Bank.
During 1993, the purchase of goods and services, or the lease of property, by
the Corporation, the Banks or other subsidiaries of the Corporation in the
ordinary course of business included transactions with various companies, the
officers of which were, or interests in which were held by, directors of the
Corporation. The amounts involved in these transactions were in no case
material in relation to the business of the Corporation, any of the Banks or
any of the other subsidiaries of the Corporation. It is also believed that the
amounts involved in such transactions, as well as the transactions themselves,
were not material in relation to the business of any such director-related
company and that no director had a material interest in any such transaction.
On August 17, 1992, Phar-Mor, Inc. and a number of its related entities filed a
voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the
"Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Ohio (the "Chapter 11 filing"). David S. Shapira, a director of the
Corporation, is a shareholder and currently the Chairman of Phar-Mor. At the
time of
8
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Chapter 11 filing, Mr. Shapira was the Chief Executive Officer and a
shareholder of Phar-Mor. As of March 1, 1992, Mellon Bank became a member of a
group of banks participating in a revolving credit facility which was committed
to Phar-Mor for an aggregate amount of $600,000,000, of which Mellon Bank's
share was $30,000,000 (the "Pre-Petition Facility"). Since March 1, 1992, the
largest amount outstanding under the Pre-Petition Facility from Mellon Bank was
$19,150,000 and prior to the Chapter 11 filing, the rates of interest paid
thereunder ranged from 5.6875% to 6.75% per annum. In connection with events
leading to Phar-Mor's Chapter 11 filing, the Pre-Petition Facility was
considered to be in default under its covenants and all amounts outstanding
thereunder were accelerated. In the pending bankruptcy proceedings, the group
of banks participating in the Pre-Petition Facility agreed to accept current
payments of interest on account of the prepetition debt at a rate lower than
the accrual rate, reserving however, the right to claim the full amount of
interest. This postpetition cash payment interest rate was 8.25% and Phar-Mor
was timely in making these payments. On August 24, 1993 Mellon Bank assigned to
another institution all of its rights under the Pre-Petition Facility and is no
longer a participant therein.
Until November 5, 1993, Mellon Bank was also a member of a group of banks
participating in a $150,000,000 postpetition debtor-in-possession revolving
credit facility with Phar-Mor (the "DIP Facility"), which had priority status
under the Bankruptcy Code. Mellon Bank's share of this facility was
approximately $6,184,500, however, Phar-Mor never borrowed funds under the DIP
Facility. Subsequently, in November Phar-Mor established a new debtor-in-
possession revolving credit facility with a group of lenders which did not
include Mellon Bank, and all of Mellon Bank's commitments under the DIP
Facility have been terminated.
Mellon Bank is also the lead bank on a multi-bank credit facility with Giant
Eagle, Inc. Mr. Shapira is the Chief Executive Officer and a shareholder of
Giant Eagle. Giant Eagle holds over 10% of the outstanding shares of Phar-Mor.
Giant Eagle is current in all payments under this facility. The credit facility
with Giant Eagle was entered into by Mellon Bank in the ordinary course of
business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility,
nor did it present other unfavorable features.
On May 21, 1993, the Corporation completed its acquisition of The Boston
Company from Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Shearson"). Shearson is a
subsidiary of American Express Company which, as a result of the transaction,
became a holder of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock. Under the terms of the agreement with Shearson, the Corporation
acquired all of the stock of Boston Group Holdings, Inc., the holding company
for The Boston Company and its subsidiaries, and paid to Shearson at the
closing a combination of $1.291 billion in cash, 2.5 million shares of the
Corporation's Common Stock and 10-year warrants to purchase an additional three
million shares of the Corporation's Common Stock at $50 per share. As a result
of the acquisition of The Boston Company, the Corporation substantially
increased its fee revenue base and improved its position as a top national
competitor in trust and investment management business.

(1) On August 31, 1994, each share of the Series D Stock will be automatically
converted into 0.7608696 shares of Common Stock. The holders of the Series
D Stock entered into Subscription Agreements with the Corporation, pursuant
to which they have been required to annually reinvest in Series D Stock, at
a purchase price of $17.50 per share, amounts equal to 60% of the regular

(2) Three shareholders not named in the table, who could be considered to be a
"group" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, hold an aggregate of
1,160,674 shares of Series D Stock. Each shareholder holds over 5% of the
outstanding shares of Series D Stock but in the aggregate all three
shareholders hold only 1.76% of the voting class comprised of the Series D
Stock and the Common Stock.
(3) Pursuant to the Corporation's Restated Articles, holders of Common Stock
and holders of Series D Stock generally are entitled to one vote for each
share held, voting together as a single class. However, if Warburg, Pincus
Capital Company, L.P. ("WPCC"), Warburg, Pincus Capital Partners, L.P.
("WPCP") and any persons acting in concert with either of them (WPCC, WPCP
and all such persons acting in concert being collectively referred to as
the "Holders") have voting power over shares that would entitle them to
cast in the aggregate 20% or more of the total number of votes that are
entitled to be cast on any matter, the vote of each outstanding share of
Series D Stock would be equally reduced to a fraction of one vote per
share, such that the WP Holders would have voting power over shares that
entitle them to cast in the aggregate only 19.9% of the total number of
votes entitled to be cast on the matter. At this annual meeting, holders of
Series D Stock will be entitled to one vote per share.
(4) Of the amount shown, American Express Company holds directly 2,500,000
shares of Common Stock and currently exercisable warrants to purchase an
additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $50 per share. Subsidiaries
of American Express Company hold 412,247 shares of Common Stock on behalf

are held as follows: Fidelity Management & Research Company, 2,197,475
shares, Fidelity Management Trust Company, 1,376,669 shares and Fidelity
International Limited, 48,900 shares.
(6) The sole general partner of WPCC and WPCP is Warburg, Pincus & Co., a New
York general partnership ("WP"). Lionel I. Pincus is the managing partner
of WP and may be deemed to control it. E.M. Warburg Pincus & Co., Inc.
("EMW"), through a wholly owned subsidiary, manages WPCC and WPCP. WP owns
all of the outstanding stock of EMW and, as the sole general partner of
WPCC and WPCP has, a 20% interest in the profits of WPCC and WPCP. EMW owns
0.9% of the limited partnership interests in WPCC and 1.5% of the limited
partnership interests in WPCP. Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as
of July 25, 1988, among the Corporation, WPCC and WPCP (the "Purchase
Agreement"), under which the original shares of Series D Stock were
acquired, WPCC and WPCP are entitled to have a representative attend every
meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and each committee of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation in an observer capacity. Such
representative does not vote or receive any retainer or fee for such
attendance.

OPTION GRANTS IN 1993
Shown below is information on grants of stock options pursuant to the
Corporation's Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (1981) (the "Option Plan") during
the year ended December 31, 1993. The Option Plan is administered by the Human
Resources Committee of the Board of Directors, which has authority to determine
the individuals to whom options are granted and the terms of all grants
thereunder. Following shareholder approval of amendments to the Option Plan
providing for reload options generally, reload option rights were awarded by
the Human Resources Committee in April of 1993 in connection with certain
outstanding options. As a result, in October of 1993 when officers exercised
the underlying options to which the reload rights had attached, reload options
were granted automatically for that number of shares equal to the number of
shares delivered or withheld in payment of the option price of their underlying
options, including shares delivered or withheld by such officers in payment of
the applicable withholding taxes. Each reload option has as its exercise price
the fair market value of Mellon Common Stock as of the date of its grant and
has the same expiration date as the underlying option to which the reload
option right was attached. Therefore, the reload options shown below have the
various expiration dates as indicated in the table. Other than the grant of
reload options pursuant to the exercise of reload option rights, no option
grants were made to the named officers during 1993. No stock appreciation
rights were granted under the Option Plan in 1993.

(1) All reload options granted in 1993 become exercisable three years after
their grant date; provided, however, that to the extent that the option
holder sells any of the shares acquired on exercise of the option to which
the reload option right was attached prior to such date, the entire reload
option will expire. The reload option grants shown above would become
exercisable as follows: Cahouet--10/20/96; Smith--10/27/96; Donovan--
10/21/96; McGuinn--10/21/96; Elliott--10/27/96. Exercisability of reload
options may be accelerated to an earlier date at the discretion of the
Human Resources Committee. In the event of a change of control event, all
reload options would become immediately exercisable.
(2) Based on the Black-Scholes model adapted for use in valuing executive stock
options. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THE VALUE REALIZED BY AN EXECUTIVE WILL BE
AT OR NEAR THE VALUE ESTIMATED BY THE BLACK-SCHOLES MODEL. The actual
value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the
stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. In
determining the Black-Scholes value, the following underlying assumptions
were used: (i) stock price volatility represents the standard deviation of
the Common Stock over the three year period prior to grant of the option
(i.e., .2129); (ii) dividend yield represents the cumulative dividends per
share for the 12-month period prior to grant of the option, divided by the
average monthly price of the Common Stock over the same period (i.e.,
2.73%); (iii) the risk-free rate of return represents the average weekly
yield on 10-year Treasury Bills over the 52 week period prior to grant of
the option as derived from the Value-Line Investment Survey--Selection &
Opinion (i.e., 6.00% for options granted on 10/20/93 and 10/21/93, and
6.03% for options granted on 10/27/93); (iv) option term
14
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
represents the period from the date of grant of each option to the expiration
of the term of the option; (v) vesting restrictions are reflected by reducing
the value of the option determined by the Black-Scholes model by 4% for each
full year of vesting restrictions (i.e., by 12% for each of the options being
valued).

PENSION PLAN TABLE
The following table sets forth the estimated annual benefits payable on a
single-life annuity basis on retirement at age 65 pursuant to the retirement
plans of the Corporation and Mellon Bank to participating employees, including
officers, in specified compensation and years-of-service classifications. The
amounts shown reflect a reduction to recognize in part the cost of Social
Security benefits related to service for the Corporation. The credited years of
service for Messrs. Cahouet, Smith, Donovan, McGuinn and Elliott are 7, 7, 5,
13 and 7, respectively. Benefits are determined based upon average base salary
for the five years of highest compensation during the 10 years preceding
retirement.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AGREEMENTS WITH NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In order to attract and motivate senior executives and to encourage such
executives to remain with the Corporation and its affiliates, the Corporation
has provided certain of the named executive officers with retirement and/or
death benefits, as described below, supplementing those available under the
retirement plans described above.
Mr. Cahouet
Under the terms of his employment agreement with Mellon Bank (discussed below),
Mr. Cahouet will be entitled to receive an unfunded supplemental retirement
benefit if he retires from the Corporation on or after reaching the age of 62.
The supplemental benefit is calculated on an unreduced 50% joint and survivor
basis and would be a monthly amount equal to Mr. Cahouet's Final Average
Compensation (as defined below) multiplied by a Compensation Percentage
(defined below) and a Vesting Percentage (defined below) and reduced by the
total monthly amount of benefits provided to him under all retirement plans
maintained by the Corporation and Mellon Bank. "Final Average Compensation"
means the average monthly amount of Mr. Cahouet's base salary and any bonus
award for the 36 consecutive months within the term of his employment
agreements that produce the highest average amount. "Compensation Percentage"
means 50% plus 2.5% for each full year of employment which Mr. Cahouet has
completed under his current employment agreement (discussed below). "Vesting
Percentage" means the percentage derived from the schedule below based upon a
vesting interval equal to the number of full months of employment with the
Corporation that Mr. Cahouet shall have completed under his current employment
agreement (discussed below) at the time of his retirement:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Vesting Interval Vesting
(in months) Percentage
--------------------------
<S> <C>
Less than 11 85%
11 or more 100%
</TABLE>
If Mr. Cahouet should retire under his employment agreement between the ages of
60 and 62, the supplemental benefits payable to him would be actuarially
reduced to reflect early commencement of such benefits. If Mr. Cahouet's
termination of employment with the Corporation were due to his death prior to
the commencement of the payment of the supplemental benefits under his
employment agreement, his spouse would be entitled to a pre-retirement death
benefit, payable in the form of a lifetime annuity, equal to the benefit that
would have been payable had he retired immediately prior to death assuming
election of an unreduced 50% joint and survivor annuity. Supplemental
retirement benefits payable to Mr. Cahouet under the agreement on normal
retirement at age 65 are estimated at $721,000 per year, based on his current
compensation.
Mr. Smith
Under the terms of his employment agreement with Mellon Bank (discussed below),
Mr. Smith is entitled to receive an unfunded supplemental retirement benefit
equal to the difference between the amounts to which he is entitled under the
retirement plans included in the above Pension Table (the "Corporation
Retirement Benefits") and the amount of Corporation Retirement Benefits he
would receive if he were credited with 8 years of additional service to the
Corporation and his final average compensation under the retirement plans were
to include base salary and any cash bonuses awarded to him by the Corporation
in the relevant years. Under this formula, Mr. Smith is deemed to have 15 years
of service for purposes of calculating his benefits under the retirement plans
and his supplemental retirement agreement.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Mr. Cahouet
In connection with Mr. Cahouet's appointment in June 1987 as the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Corporation and Mellon Bank, Mr.
Cahouet entered into an employment agreement with Mellon Bank which had a term
lasting until July 25, 1993. In July of 1993, Mr. Cahouet entered into a new
employment agreement with Mellon Bank with a termination date of May 31, 1997.
The current employment agreement provides, among other things, for an annual
base
16

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
salary of $760,000, subject to periodic increases which must take into
consideration the salaries of the chief executive officers of the 10 largest
bank holding companies in the United States, life insurance in the amount of
twice his annual salary, perquisites appropriate to his position, including
club memberships, physical examinations and personal financial planning
services, and the supplemental retirement benefits described above. The bank
holding companies against whose chief executive officers Mr. Cahouet's salary
is measured are included in both the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the
KBW 50 Index used to prepare the Corporation's Performance Graph shown on page
18. The agreement also provides that, if Mr. Cahouet's employment is terminated
other than for cause, he will receive full salary and benefits until the
expiration of its term and a pro-rated portion of any bonuses for the year of
termination. If Mr. Cahouet's employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Cahouet
terminates his employment for reasons other than a constructive discharge,
permanent disability or retirement, he will receive any benefits that may have
vested prior to such termination under the supplemental retirement provisions
of his employment agreement or under the terms of the Corporation's generally
applicable employee benefit plans. The terms of the agreement prohibit "excess
parachute payments" by the Corporation, as defined under the Internal Revenue
Code.
Mr. Smith
In connection with Mr. Smith's appointment in July 1987 as Vice Chairman and
Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Corporation and Mellon Bank, Mr.
Smith entered into an employment agreement with Mellon Bank which had a term
lasting until July 25, 1993. In July of 1993, Mr. Smith entered into a new
employment agreement with Mellon Bank with a termination date of July 31, 1996.
It provides, among other things, for an annual base salary of $400,000, subject
to periodic increases, perquisites appropriate to Mr. Smith's position,
including club memberships, physical examinations and personal financial
planning services, and the supplemental retirement benefits described above.
The agreement also provides that if Mr. Smith's employment is terminated other
than for cause, he will receive full salary and benefits until one year after
the expiration of its term and a pro-rated portion of any bonuses for the year
of termination. If Mr. Smith's employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Smith
terminates his employment for reasons other than a constructive discharge,
permanent disability or retirement, he will receive any benefits that may have
vested prior to such termination under the supplemental retirement provisions
of the agreement or under the terms of the Corporation's generally applicable
employee benefit plans. The terms of the agreement prohibit "excess parachute
payments" by the Corporation, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code.
OTHER COMPENSATION
Displacement Policy and Changes in Control
Under the Corporation's Associate Displacement Program, employees of the
Corporation, including the named executive officers, may receive certain
benefits if their employment with the Corporation is terminated due to
technological changes or other business reasons not related to individual
performance. Such benefits may include temporary assignments, placement
assistance, benefits continuation and/or severance payments based upon years of
service. The program is subject to revision or termination at the Corporation's
discretion at any time.
In addition to any other benefits available to employees under other severance
policies, all employees, including the named executive officers, are entitled
to 12 months of base salary and benefit continuation if they are terminated,
other than for good cause, within three years after a change in control of the
Corporation. Such benefits would offset amounts due to Mr. Cahouet and Mr.
Smith under the terms of their employment contracts upon termination after a
change in control. In addition, if a change in control of the Corporation
occurs, employees will have a nonforfeitable right to their accrued benefits
under Mellon Bank's tax-qualified retirement plan and will be entitled to
certain increased retirement benefits if the retirement plan's assets exceed
its liabilities at the time the change in control occurs. These rights to
salary and benefit continuation and increased retirement benefits may not be
amended after the occurrence of such a change in control.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The Corporation's Human Resources Committee (the "Committee") is composed
entirely of independent outside directors. The Committee has among its duties
the responsibility for establishing and reviewing the compensation and benefits
of the senior managers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including the
compensation of the Chairman and the other named executive officers. The
Committee actively advises and assists management in formulating and in
implementing policies designed to assure the selection, development and
retention of key personnel.
Under the guidance of the Committee, the Corporation's compensation policies
have been cast within the larger framework of managing the Corporation towards
overall enhanced profitability and increased shareholder value. Accordingly,
two principles underlying the Corporation's compensation policy for all senior
managers (including the Chairman and the other named executive officers) are
(i) aligning the financial interests of senior managers with those of the
Corporation's shareholders and (ii) paying for corporate and individual
performance. These principles are reflected in the structure of the
Corporation's compensation program for senior managers which consists of three
basic components: base salary, awards under the annual Profit Bonus Plan (the
"Bonus Plan") and awards under the Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (1981) (the
"Option Plan"). In creating this structure, the Committee has consciously
placed an increasing emphasis on the "at risk" elements of compensation for
senior managers. As a result, base salaries are generally set somewhat below
the market with the senior managers and the Corporation both relying to a
larger degree on the incentive components of the Bonus Plan and the Option
Plan. There were no changes made during 1993 in either the Corporation's
overall compensation policy for senior managers or in the implementation of
that policy.
Awards under the Corporation's incentive plans are tied to corporate, business
unit and individual performance. While the accomplishment of the goals and
objectives woven throughout the Corporation's operating and strategic plans are
at the core of the basis for making awards under the Bonus Plan and the Option
Plan, there is no formal weighting of various factors, and neither incentive
plan has automatic, formula driven or rigid payout features. Rather, both of
the plans are consciously constructed with a degree of subjectivity and
discretion which provides the Committee with the flexibility to administer
these incentive plans in a manner that is believed by the Committee to
encourage managers to continually focus on building high quality profitability
and long-term shareholder value.
BASE SALARY
During 1993 the Committee reviewed and took action to increase the base
salaries for two of the named executive officers. In considering the
recommendations for increases in base salary, the Committee reviewed the
performance of each officer against various objectives, including performance
against the business plans for 1992 and 1993 year-to-date for those lines of
business for which he was responsible. The Corporation's business plans and the
elements thereof applicable to its various lines of business include financial
performance targets such as: income, expense, asset quality, operating margin,
return on assets and return on capital, as well as strategic development
imperatives. In addition to the officers' evaluations, the Committee considered
the recommendations for increases in base salary for these officers within the
parameters established by the compensation data that had been compiled by a
management compensation consultant and reviewed with the Committee in 1992.
This compensation data is based on surveys of comparable executive officers of
nine other financial institutions similar to the Corporation in terms of size,
and/or the mix of its lines of business. These comparative financial
institutions are included within the KBW 50 Index used for the Performance
Graph on page 18. On the basis of such competitive compensation data and after
giving effect to the salary increases, the base salary of the two named
executive officers who received increases during 1993 remained at or below the
median level of the base salary of their relevant peers. The base salary rate
for the Chairman and the other two named executive officers remained unchanged
during 1993. The Chairman's annual base salary is established pursuant to his
employment contract. See "Employment Agreement with Named Executive Officers"
beginning on page 16.

<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION PLAN AWARDS
In addition to conducting evaluations in connection with base salary actions
taken in 1993, the Committee also reviewed the performance of senior managers,
including the Chairman and the other named executive officers, in the context
of examining the long-term incentive component of total compensation.
Historically, the Committee undertakes such a review annually and within its
discretion considers whether the exercise date for certain previously granted
options should be accelerated. As provided for in the Option Plan, the exercise
of these accelerated options includes the payout of a deferred cash incentive
award to the optionee in an amount equal to the exercise price for such
options. See the LTIP Payout column on the "Summary Compensation Table" on Page
13. The optionee must use the cash award to pay the option exercise price of
such accelerated options. Such acceleration, and payment of the attendant
deferred cash incentive awards, is a significant element of the incentive
component of total compensation for the Corporation's senior managers.
In connection with considering a 1993 acceleration of options, the Committee
reviewed the performance and evaluated each of the named executive officers
based upon a number of factors including the trends indicated by the 1992 and
1993 year-to-date business plan performance of, and the progress made toward
the achievement of longer term goals for, the lines of business for which he
was responsible. The Chairman's performance was evaluated based upon the
overall financial performance of the Corporation for 1992 and 1993, as well as
other factors including his vision and leadership in the development and
implementation of operating and strategic plans designed to produce high
quality earnings in the face of an increasingly competitive financial services
environment. The Chairman's ability to assemble and develop quality managerial
and executive talent among the senior managers was also a factor considered by
the Committee. The results of each person's evaluation was then applied against
a matrix correlating the numerical rating from his performance evaluation and
his office or position to yield an acceleration amount ranging from 10% to 33%
of the options considered for acceleration.
Following shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting in 1993 of amendments to
the Option Plan to provide for reload options, the Committee reviewed the
amount of existing options and stock held by senior managers, including the
Chairman and the other named executive officers and took action in April to
award reload option rights to senior managers. The reload option rights awarded
by the Committee attached to outstanding options that had been granted to such
officers since 1987. See the table and discussion appearing on page 14 under
the heading "Option Grants in 1993" for a description of the reload options
resulting from the award of reload option rights. The Committee believes the
award of reload option rights is consistent with the Corporation's overall
compensation policy of more closely aligning the interests of its senior
managers with those of shareholders, as such reload option rights encourage
officers to convert their options to shares earlier. As a result of the
operation of reload option rights, an officer who exercises underlying options
to which such rights are attached has the opportunity to convert those options
to shares without forfeiting the potential for future appreciation on shares
delivered to exercise such options and without reducing his net ownership
position.
BONUS PLAN AWARDS
In connection with making awards under the Corporation's cash bonus program,
the Committee in December again examined the performance of senior managers,
including the Chairman and the other named executive officers. This review
focused on the individual performance for full year 1993 of each officer and on
the Corporation's overall performance in achieving the financial objectives of
its 1993 operating plan and taking significant steps in the execution of its
strategic plan. Each officer was evaluated based in significant measure upon
the performance against the 1993 business plan for the lines of business for
which he was responsible. In determining the Chairman's Bonus Plan award for
1993, the Committee evaluated the Chairman within the context of the excellent
year experienced by the Corporation in terms of achieving the financial
objectives of its 1993 operating plan, as well as the Chairman's leadership in
undertaking the strategic and operating initiatives designed to reposition the
Corporation to increase further the long-term value of the Corporation's
franchise. The results of each person's evaluation, was then applied to a
matrix correlating the numerical rating from his performance evaluation and his
office or position to yield a target Bonus Plan award ranging from zero percent
to 80% of base salary. The Chairman's Bonus Plan award for 1993 was increased
by the Committee from the matrix target award to approximately 82% of his base
salary.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
As part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "Act"), certain
provisions regarding executive compensation for officers of public companies
were added to the Internal Revenue Code. In December 1993, the Internal Revenue
Service issued proposed regulations setting forth exclusions from the Act's
general disallowance of ordinary business expense deduction for compensation in
excess of $1 million paid to a company's chief executive officer and each of
the next four most highly compensated executive officers.
The Corporation has not yet formulated a policy regarding such provisions of
the Act and the proposed regulations, but will examine the issue of
deductibility of executive compensation in the context of the overall operation
of the Corporation's compensation plans once the final regulations on this
matter are issued later in 1994. Based upon the anticipated operation of the
Corporation's various compensation plans during 1994, and the level of income
deferrals elected by the named executive officers, the amount of deductions
anticipated to be lost by the Corporation for 1994 as a result of the
provisions of the Act and the proposed regulations, if any, will be de minimis.
The foregoing report is presented by the Human Resources Committee of the Board
of Directors.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (PROXY ITEM 2)
The Board of Directors, at its February 15, 1994 meeting, appointed KPMG Peat
Marwick as independent public accountants of the Corporation for the year
ending December 31, 1994. KPMG Peat Marwick served as the Corporation's
independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 1993. Although
the appointment of independent public accountants is not required to be
approved by shareholders, the Board of Directors believes shareholders should
participate in such selection through ratification. If the shareholders fail to
ratify KPMG Peat Marwick as the independent public accountants, the Board of
Directors will reconsider its selection. Representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick
will be present at the annual meeting with an opportunity to make a statement
if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS
Adoption of the proposal requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast
at the annual meeting by all holders of Common Stock and Series D Stock, voting
together as a single class. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law provides
that an abstention is not a vote cast. Therefore, in a case like this
where the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the
annual meeting is required, an abstention will not have the effect of a vote
for or against the proposal and will not be counted in determining the number
of votes required for approval, though it will be counted in determining the
presence of a quorum.
WITH RESPECT TO PROXY ITEM 2, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG PEAT MARWICK AS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC
ACCOUNTANTS OF THE CORPORATION FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1994.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No matters other than those set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting
accompanying this Proxy Statement are expected to be presented to shareholders
for action at the annual meeting. However, if other matters are presented which
are proper subjects for action by shareholders, it is the intention of those
named in the accompanying Proxy to vote such Proxy in accordance with their
judgment upon such matters.
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the Corporation's annual
meeting to be held in 1995 must be received by the Corporation no later than
November 15, 1994 to be considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and
form of Proxy relating to the 1995 annual meeting.
Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the
Corporation's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than
10% of a registered class of the Corporation's equity securities, to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. Executive officers,
directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section 16 (a) forms they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by the
Corporation, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no
Form 5's were required for those persons, the Corporation believes that, since
January 1, 1993, all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers,
directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except
for Mr. Corry, a director, who filed late one Form 4 reporting a purchase of
preferred stock and Mr. Marous, a director, who failed to file one Form 4
reporting a purchase of preferred stock and one Form 4 reporting a purchase of
Common Stock. Mr. Marous' purchases were reported on his Form 5 for 1993.
The cost of solicitation of proxies for the 1994 annual meeting will be borne
by the Corporation. In addition to solicitation by mail, regular employees of
the Corporation may solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph or personal
interview. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will
be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Common
Stock held of record by such persons and will be reimbursed by the Corporation
for their expenses. In addition, the Corporation has retained D. F. King & Co.,
Inc., 77 Water Street, New York, New York 10005 to aid in the solicitation of
proxies from brokers, banks, other nominees and institutional holders at an
estimated fee of $6,500 plus expenses.
