Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The price in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices actually paid ranged from $28.0200 to $28.0500. The reporting person will provide to the issuer, any security holder of the issuer, or the SEC staff, upon request, information regarding the number of shares purchased at each price within the range. ( 2 )On October 23, 2023, a grantor retained annuity trust ("GRAT") for the benefit of the reporting person and his adult children made an annuity payment to the reporting person consisting of 111,743 shares of Truist common stock. The reporting person's wife is the trustee of the GRAT, and the reporting person is the sole recipient of the annuity payments made by the GRAT. This Form 4 is being filed to reflect the change in the form of the reporting person's beneficial ownership of the Truist common stock transferred by the GRAT from indirect to direct beneficial ownership. ( 3 )Because the stock fund component of the 401(k) Plan is accounted for in unit accounting, the number of share equivalents varies based on the closing price of Truist stock on the applicable measurement date. ( 4 )Represents phantom stock units under the SunTrust Banks, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, which merged into the Truist Financial Corporation Nonqualified Defined Contribution Plan effective as of June 1, 2020. ( 5 )Includes shares acquired as a result of dividend reinvestment since the last reported transaction.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
