ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     On September 1, 2009, Cynthia B. Powell was named Corporate Controller, replacing Edward D. Vest, who is stepping down for health reasons. Mr. Vest will continue working in his new role as senior financial executive for financial reporting and analysis, systems and controls.

     Ms. Powell, age 40, joined BB&T in May 2002 and has served as Assistant Controller and manager of financial reporting.

     BB&T has determined that there are no related person transactions with Ms. Powell, as contemplated by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. All extensions of credit made to Ms. Powell by BB&T were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others not related to BB&T, and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

     A copy of the press release announcing the events described above is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this report by reference.
