ITEM 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plan.



On July 8, 2020, Truist Financial Corporation ("Truist") provided written notice
(the "Notice") to its directors and executive officers that there will be a
blackout period with respect to the heritage SunTrust and heritage BB&T 401(k)

recordkeeper, Fidelity Investments. During the blackout period, Heritage Savings
Plan participants will be unable to transfer or diversify investments or obtain
a loan, withdrawal or distribution from their Heritage Savings Plans.

Regulation BTR, the Notice informed Truist's directors and executive officers of
the blackout period and the restrictions on trading in Truist equity securities
that apply to them during the blackout period. A copy of the notice is attached
