STATE STREET BOSTON CORPORATION
State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street") is a bank holding company
organized under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
State Street was organized in 1970 and conducts its business principally
through its subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street
Bank"), which traces its beginnings to the founding of the Union Bank in 1792.
The charter under which State Street Bank now operates was authorized by a
special act of the Massachusetts Legislature in 1891, and its present name was
adopted in 1960.
State Street is the fourth largest provider of trust services in the United
States as ranked on the basis of 1995 fiduciary compensation. State Street had
more than $2.3 trillion of assets under custody, $283 billion of bonds under
trusteeship, and $226 billion of assets under management at year-end 1995.
Ranked on the basis of total assets as of September 1996, State Street is the
29th largest bank holding company in the United States. State Street's total
assets were $25.8 billion at December 31, 1995, of which $18.6 billion, or
72%, were investment securities and money market assets and $3.9 billion, or
15%, were loans.
Services are provided from offices in the United States, as well as from
offices in Canada, Grand Cayman, Netherland Antilles, the United Kingdom,
France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. State Street's executive
offices are located at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110
(telephone (617) 786-3000). For information as to foreign activities, refer to
Note T to the Notes to Financial Statements which appear in State Street's
1995 Annual Report to Stockholders. Such information is incorporated by
reference.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On November 19, 1996, State Street completed its acquisition of Princeton
Financial Systems, Inc. ("PFS"), a provider of services and client/server
software products to the insurance and investment management industry.
Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"),
dated as of October 17, 1996, by and among State Street, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of State Street, PFS and the Selling Stockholders, such subsidiary
merged with and into PFS (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, the
Selling Stockholders received cash and an aggregate of 923,072 shares of
Common Stock. In addition, each outstanding option to purchase PFS common
stock granted under PFS option plans was assumed by State Street. A portion of
the cash and 124,950 shares of Common Stock are subject to an escrow
arrangement for an eighteen month period following the date of the Merger for
the satisfaction of certain obligations of the Selling Stockholders to State
Street. Shares subject to this escrow arrangement will only be available for
sale if and when they are released to the Selling Stockholders. In accordance
with the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into in connection
with the Merger, State Street agreed to register the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued to the Selling Stockholders in the Merger.

HOLDING COMPANY DIVIDENDS
As a bank holding company, State Street is a legal entity separate and
distinct from State Street Bank (and its other non-bank subsidiaries). State
Street's principal source of funds is dividends from State Street Bank. The
right of State Street to participate as a stockholder in any distribution of
assets of a subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is
subject to the prior claims by creditors of the subsidiary, including
obligations for federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements, as well as deposit liabilities. Payment of dividends by State
Street Bank is subject to provisions of the Massachusetts banking law which
provide that dividends may be paid out of net profits provided (i) capital
stock and surplus remain unimpaired, (ii) dividend and retirement fund
requirements of any preferred stock have been met, (iii) surplus equals or
exceeds capital stock, and (iv) there are deducted from net profits any losses
and bad debts, as defined, in excess of reserves specifically established
therefor. Under the Federal Reserve Act, the approval of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System would be required if dividends
declared by State Street Bank in any year would exceed the total of its net
profits for that year combined with retained net profits for the preceding two
years, less any required transfers to surplus. Under applicable federal and
state law restrictions, at December 31, 1995 State Street Bank could have
declared and paid dividends of $426,266,000 without regulatory approval.
Future dividend payments of State Street Bank cannot be determined at this
time.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND GOVERNMENT POLICIES
Economic policies of the government and its agencies influence the operating
environment of State Street. Monetary policy conducted by the Federal Reserve
Board directly affects the level of interest rates and overall credit
conditions of the economy. Policy instruments utilized by the Federal Reserve
Board include open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in
reserve requirements for depository institutions, and changes in the discount
rate and availability of borrowing from the Federal Reserve.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The sale of the Common Stock offered hereby is for the account of the
Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, State Street will not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the Common Stock.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
State Street's authorized capital stock consists of 112,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share and 3,500,000 shares of Preferred
Stock. As of October 31, 1996, 80,268,000 shares of Common Stock were issued
and outstanding and each such share is fully paid and non-assessable. There
are 2,424,000 shares of Common Stock being held in treasury. There are no
shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
COMMON STOCK
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters voted upon
by the stockholders. Subject to the rights of any Preferred Stock that might
hereafter be issued, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
when and if declared by the Board of Directors of State Street from funds
legally available therefor. The principal source of funds for payment of
dividends by State Street is dividends paid by State Street Bank. See "Holding
Company Dividends." In any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of State
Street, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in State
Street's assets remaining after payment of creditors subject to the rights of
any Preferred Stock that might hereafter be issued. Other than preferred stock
purchase rights (the "Rights"), discussed below, Holders of Common Stock have
no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion,
redemption or sinking fund provisions for the Common Stock. State Street Bank
is the Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock of State Street.

<PAGE>
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors of State Street is authorized, without shareholder
action, to issue Preferred Stock in series and to fix the relative powers,
preferences and rights appertaining thereto, including dividend rates, voting
rights, conversion rights, liquidation preferences and redemption, retirement
or sinking fund provisions.
STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT
In 1988, State Street declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase
right for each outstanding share of Common Stock. Under certain conditions, a
right may be exercised to purchase one two-hundredths share of a series of
participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $75, subject to
adjustment. The rights become exercisable if a party acquires or obtains the
right to acquire 20% or more of State Street's Common Stock or after
commencement or public announcement of an offer for 20% or more of State
Street's Common Stock. When exercisable, under certain conditions, each right
also entitles the holder thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, of either
State Street or of the acquiror, having a market value of two times the then
current exercise price of that right.
The rights expire in 1998 and may be redeemed at a price of $.005 per right
at any time prior to expiration or the acquisition of 20% of State Street's
Common Stock. Also, under certain circumstances, the rights may be redeemed
after they become exercisable and may be subject to automatic redemption.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders have advised State Street that they propose to
offer the Common Stock offered hereby for sale, from time to time, to
purchasers directly, or through brokers in brokerage transactions on the NYSE,
or to underwriters or dealers in negotiated transactions or in a combination
of such methods of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices or at negotiated prices. The Common Stock offered hereby may be
sold by the Selling Stockholders or by donees or transferees from time to
time. The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the price or prices at
which they may sell the Common Stock.
Brokers, dealers and underwriters that participate in the distribution of
the Common Stock offered hereby may be deemed to be underwriters under the
Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions received by them from the
Selling Stockholders and any profit on the resale of the Common Stock offered
hereby may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters
under the Securities Act. Those who act as underwriter, broker, dealer or
agent in connection with the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby will be
selected by the Selling Stockholders and may have other business relationships
with State Street and its subsidiaries or affiliates in the ordinary course of
business.
At any time a particular offer of Common Stock offered hereby is made by the
Selling Stockholders, if required, a Prospectus Supplement will be distributed
which will set forth the aggregate amounts of Common Stock being offered and
the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters,
dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting
compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. Such Prospectus
Supplement and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, will be filed with the
Commission to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to
the distribution of the Common Stock offered hereby.
The Registration Rights Agreement provides that State Street indemnify the
Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for the
indemnification of State Street by the Selling Stockholders for certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition,
under the Registration Rights Agreement, State Street's obligation to
indemnify extends to those who participate in the distribution of the Common
Stock offered hereby as underwriters for the Selling Stockholders. Also
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Stockholders will
pay all applicable stock transfer taxes, brokerage commissions, underwriting
discounts or commissions and any fees and disbursements of more than one
counsel to the Selling Stockholders, but State Street has agreed to pay
substantially all fees and expenses incident to the preparation, filing,
amending and supplementing of the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part and any registration statements or qualifying documents
filed under any state Blue Sky or securities laws. It is expected that the
Registration Statement will remain effective until December 31, 1998, which
period may, subject to the occurrence of certain events, be extended or
shortened.

EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of State Street at December 31, 1995
and 1994, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, incorporated by reference in State Street's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
independent auditors, as set forth in their report therein and incorporated
herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated
herein by reference in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of
such firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
With respect to the unaudited interim consolidated financial information for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1996, June 30, 1996, and September 30,
1996, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, Ernst & Young LLP have
reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with
professional standards for review of such information. However, their separate
reports, included in State Street's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 1996, June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1996, and
incorporated herein by reference, state that they did not audit and do not
express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the
degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted
considering the limited nature of review procedures applied. The independent
auditors are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") for their report on the unaudited interim
financial information because those reports are not "reports" or "parts" of
the Registration Statement prepared or certified by the auditors within the
meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.
