ASU 2016-02 - Leases.
Issued February 2016

- Management intends to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2019, and has formed a working group comprised of associates from different disciplines, including Procurement, Real Estate, and Credit Administration, to evaluate the impact of the standard where Huntington is a lessee or lessor, as well as any impact to borrower’s financial statements.

- Management is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on Huntington's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including working with associates engaged in the procurement of goods and services used in the entity’s operations, and reviewing contractual arrangements for embedded leases in an effort to identify Huntington’s full lease population.
