**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

This prospectus supplement relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the selling shareholder of our common shares. We are registering the resale of these common shares, but the registration of such shares does not necessarily mean that any of such shares will be offered or sold by the selling shareholder pursuant to this prospectus supplement or at all. As used in this section, the term "selling shareholder" includes pledgees, donees, assignees, distributees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling such shares received after the date of this prospectus supplement from the selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, distribution or other non-sale related transfer.

The selling shareholder may, from time to time, offer our common shares at fixed prices, at market prices or varying prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, and by a variety of methods, including the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one or more transactions (which may involve underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis,
cross sales or block transactions) on the NYSE or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• secondary distributions pursuant to and in accordance with the rules of the NYSE;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through one or more electronic trading platforms or services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• direct sales to one or more purchasers, including affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• short sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through the writing of options or other hedging transactions on the shares (whether such options are listed on an
options exchange or otherwise);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a combination of such methods of sale; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling shareholder may effect such transactions by selling the common shares offered under this prospectus supplement to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or other agents, including electronic trading platforms or similar services, and such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, commissions or fees from the selling shareholder or the purchasers of shares for whom they may act as agent. The selling shareholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common shares offered under this prospectus supplement may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the sale of registered shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

The selling shareholder may have agreements with underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimburse them for certain expenses.

In connection with the sale of its common shares or interests therein, the selling shareholder may enter into derivative transactions with underwriters, broker-dealers or other financial institutions or sell securities not covered by this prospectus supplement to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable additional prospectus supplement or free-writing prospectus indicates, in connection with those derivative transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions or third parties may sell securities covered by this

prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the broker-dealer or other financial institution or third party may use securities pledged by the selling shareholder or borrowed from the selling shareholder to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use securities received from the selling shareholder in settlement of those derivative transactions to close out any related open borrowings of shares. The selling shareholder may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered under this prospectus supplement, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus supplement (as further supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

At a time a particular offering of our common shares is made, an additional prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may be distributed that will set forth the common shares to be sold, the name of the selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to the particular offer and any other required information.

In addition, any shares of common shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS** 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), utilizing a "shelf" registration process.

Each time we offer and sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain information about the terms of the offering and the securities being offered and, if necessary, a pricing supplement that will contain the specific terms of your securities. The prospectus supplement and, if necessary, the pricing supplement, may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. Any information contained in this prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded by any inconsistent information contained in a prospectus supplement or a pricing supplement. You should read carefully this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, together with the additional information described below under "Where You Can Find More Information."

We have not authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, and we take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Accordingly, you should rely only on the information provided in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement that we have authorized describing the terms of the specific securities being offered. You should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than the date of the applicable document. This prospectus and any prospectus supplement or pricing supplement do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the securities described therein, or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

The words "Key," "Company," "we," "our," "ours" and "us" as used herein refer to KeyCorp and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated.

**EXPERTS** 

The consolidated financial statements of KeyCorp appearing in KeyCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the effectiveness of KeyCorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon, included therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements and KeyCorp management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited consolidated interim financial information of KeyCorp for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, incorporated by reference herein, Ernst & Young LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated May 4, 2023, included in KeyCorp's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and incorporated by reference herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Ernst & Young LLP is 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 that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by Ernst & Young LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
