Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Administrator of the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) at December 31, 2016 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements    
December 31, 2016 and 2015

1.
Description of the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
The following description of the BB&T Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by BB&T Corporation (the "Corporation" or "Plan Sponsor"). The Plan, which was established effective July 1, 1982 and amended and restated as of January 1, 2013, is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Board of Directors ("Board") is responsible for oversight of the Plan, including the appropriateness of the Plan's investment offerings, and monitoring of investment performance. In accordance with the Plan document, certain of the Board's responsibilities have been delegated to the Employee Benefits Plan Committee.

Eligibility for Participation
The Plan covers all employees of participating subsidiaries who meet age and service requirements. Employees are eligible to make salary reduction contributions immediately after employment with the Corporation and are eligible to receive matching contributions after attaining the age of 21 with one year of continuous employment in which they have worked at least 1,000 hours. Participation in the Plan is based on voluntary election by each employee.

Contributions
Participants can elect to contribute between 1 percent and 50 percent of their eligible earnings, as defined in the Plan document, on a pre-tax basis subject to certain Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limitations. The Plan also has a Roth feature that allows for after-tax contributions. Eligible participants who have attained the age of 50 before the close of the plan year may make catch-up contributions up to $6,000. The Corporation matches dollar-for-dollar up to 6 percent of compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. Participants may make changes in their contribution percentage at any time. Allocations among fund options offered by the Plan may be changed on a daily basis. Participants may also contribute funds from other tax-qualified plans as rollover contributions.

Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, employer matching contributions and actual earnings allocated to their account. Nonvested employer matching contributions may occur as a result of participants in predecessor plans that have terminated their employment with their employer.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their account balances an amount not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 (less adjustments as required by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or 50 percent of their account balance. The minimum loan amount allowed by the Plan is $1,000. Only one loan can be taken during the Plan year and a participant may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is equal to the Corporation's prime lending rate plus 1 percent at the loan origination date. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans from merged plans are carried at the terms and conditions that were set by the predecessor plans.

Payment of Benefits
Upon termination, a participant may elect to have distributions paid from their account in installments, a lump sum or any combination of the two. Retired participants may elect installment payments to occur over a period not to exceed the participant's life expectancy, or the life expectancy of the participant and beneficiary. Hardship withdrawals are allowed by the Plan in accordance with Plan provisions and IRS regulations.

Notes to Financial Statements    
December 31, 2016 and 2015

Participant Accounts
Each participant's individual account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of matching contributions, earnings/(losses) on the account and administrative expenses. Allocations of earnings/(losses) and expenses are based upon the market activity and fees of the investment options selected by the participant. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

Forfeitures
Forfeitures represent nonvested employer matching contributions of participants in predecessor plans that have terminated their employment with their employer. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, forfeited accounts totaled $32 and $1, respectively. Forfeitures can be used to reduce employer contributions. In 2016, contributions by the employer were reduced by $37,638 from the forfeiture account.

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting
The Plan's financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Administrative Expenses and Investment-Related Fees
Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, unless otherwise paid by the Plan Sponsor. Expenses that are paid by the Plan Sponsor are excluded from these financial statements. The Plan Sponsor paid certain administrative fees related to professional services provided to the Plan (see Note 9). Investment-related fees are included in net appreciation (depreciation) of fair value of investments.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes interest-bearing deposits with the Corporation so that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the fair value of these instruments.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Participants may direct the investment of their contributions as well as employer matching contributions among various mutual funds, BB&T Corporation Stock, common/collective trusts, separately managed accounts consisting primarily of common stock and foreign stock, and an associate insured deposit account, each offering different degrees of risk and return. There is also a self-directed brokerage investment option for Plan participants. The Employee Benefits Plan Committee determines the Plan's valuation policies utilizing information provided by the custodian. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Refer to Note 6 for disclosures of methodologies used to determine the recorded fair value of Plan investments.

Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income on mutual funds is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions on mutual funds are included in dividend income. Dividend income on BB&T Corporation common stock is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation/(depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments held at year end.

Notes to Financial Statements    
December 31, 2016 and 2015

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("Topic 820"), provides a framework for measuring fair value which requires that an entity determine asset and liability fair values based on the exit price from the principal market for the asset or liability being measured. Fair value measurements are discussed further in Note 6.

Payment of Benefits
Benefits claims are recorded when they have been approved for payment and paid by the Plan.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the dates of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets available for benefits during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share. This guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for certain investments in the Plan's financial statements.  The Plan adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Plan's financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance requires the majority of equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. The new guidance allows equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost minus impairment, with a qualitative assessment required to identify impairment. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the Plan's financial statements.

4.
Associate Insured Deposit Account
The Plan invests in an associate insured deposit account, which is a deposit account with a bank subsidiary of the Plan Sponsor. Under the terms of the account agreement, Branch Banking and Trust Company ("Branch Bank") is required to set aside collateral equal or greater in market value to the amount on deposit in the account in excess of the amount insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

The interest rate resets monthly based on market yields for United States Treasury Notes having a one-year maturity. The rate credited is based on the average yield as of the 30th day of each month plus fifty basis points. The crediting interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2016 ranged from 0.95 percent to 1.18 percent and the average yield rate was 1.07 percent. The crediting interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2015 ranged from 0.63 percent to 0.89 percent and the average yield rate was 0.77 percent.

5.
Transfers from Other Plans
During 2016, BB&T Corporation authorized the transfer of participant accounts to the Plan from various subsidiary company plans. Participant account balances, including investments and notes receivable from participants, were transferred from the various plans at various dates during 2016 as follows:

December 31, 2016 and 2015

Due to the mergers, which were effective December 31, 2016, of the CRC Insurance Services, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and the McGriff, Seibels & Williams, Inc. Employee 401(k) Plan, the matching formula for employees of CRC Insurance Services, Inc. and McGriff, Seibels & Williams, Inc. and their respective subsidiaries will be different than the matching contribution of the Plan as of January 1, 2017. All other Plan participants will have the matching formula described in Note 1.

6.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Topic 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs used to measure assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Level 1
Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include mutual funds, common stock and foreign stock traded on an exchange or listed market. In addition, the Plan offers a self-directed brokerage option that holds mutual funds and common stock and two separately managed accounts that primarily hold common stock and foreign stock, which are traded on an exchange or listed market.

Mutual funds are valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (NAV) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded. Common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Level 2
Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market not defined by Level 1; quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include the associate insured deposit account, common/collective trusts and corporate and government bonds in the self-directed brokerage option.

The associate insured deposit account is carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Refer to Note 4 for detailed disclosures related to the Plan's investment in the associate insured deposit account.
 
The fair value of the common/collective trusts is based on NAV, as provided by the trustee. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. Participants' transactions (purchase and sales) may occur daily. The common/collective trusts have a readily determinable fair value in that NAV is determined and made available to the Plan daily, and is the basis for current transactions. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the common/collective trust, the investment adviser reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations at the then current NAV will be carried out in an orderly business manner. The common/collective trusts have a daily redemption frequency, a redemption notice period of 30 days to one year, and no unfunded commitments.

The fair value of government securities and corporate bonds are determined by closing prices at the end of the Plan year. Closing prices are obtained from third party pricing vendors. When quoted prices are unavailable, pricing vendors use various evaluation methodologies, which are based on quoted prices for securities with similar coupons, ratings, and maturities.

Notes to Financial Statements    
December 31, 2016 and 2015

Level 3
Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no level 3 assets or liabilities.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Tax Status
The IRS has determined and informed the Plan Sponsor by letter dated November 19, 2014, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS.  The Plan Administrator analyzed the tax positions by the Plan, and concluded that as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken that require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2013.

8.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan Sponsor has the right under the Plan to revise or discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, assets of the Plan would be distributed in accordance with the Plan document.

9.
Related Party and Party-In-Interest Transactions
Included in the Plan assets are BB&T Corporation common stock, mutual funds advised by a subsidiary of the Corporation, assets held in separately managed accounts that are managed by a subsidiary of the Corporation, an associate insured deposit account with Branch Bank and cash in an interest-bearing checking account with Branch Bank. Balances, income and transactions related to these investments, which are party-in-interest transactions under ERISA, are presented in the following tables:

In addition, there are fees charged by TD Ameritrade to participants with self-directed brokerage accounts and fees charged by ProNvest to participants that opt to receive guidance on investment election/allocation. Fees charged by Ameritrade and ProNvest were $214,073 and $63,879, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
