PNC Financial COO to step down, shareholder votes tallied

PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:PNC), a prominent player in the banking sector with a market capitalization of $63.2 billion and a robust "GOOD" financial health score according to InvestingPro, has announced that Chief Operating Officer E William Parsley III will leave his role effective July 1, 2025. Parsley’s departure aligns with a planned reorganization of the company’s operating functions, which will be absorbed by other core businesses and the finance division.

Following his departure as COO, Parsley will transition to the role of Executive Advisor until the end of 2025. He will be eligible for severance payments and benefits detailed in the company’s Executive Severance Plan. Moreover, the Human Resources Committee has confirmed that Parsley’s outstanding equity awards, including the Leadership Continuity Award granted in 2022, will continue to vest, contingent upon a standard release of claims and adherence to restrictive covenants. This transition comes as PNC’s stock has experienced a 15.6% decline year-to-date, though the company maintains strong fundamentals with a P/E ratio of 11.25.

In addition to the executive changes, PNC Financial held its annual shareholder meeting on April 23, 2025. The meeting saw the election of 13 director nominees, with each receiving a significant majority of the votes cast. The shareholders also ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company’s independent auditor for 2025 and approved the compensation of PNC’s named executive officers on an advisory basis.

The voting results confirmed strong shareholder support for the current board and executive compensation structure, with all director nominees elected and over 93% approval for executive pay.
