. Fifth Third must first obtain the approval of Fifth Third voting shareholders for the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal, and Comerica must first obtain the adoption of the holders of Comerica common stock for the Comerica merger proposal. Fifth Third and Comerica must also obtain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy certain other closing conditions. Fifth Third and Comerica expect the first merger to be completed promptly once Fifth Third and Comerica have obtained their respective shareholders’ or stockholders’, as applicable, approvals noted above, have obtained necessary regulatory approvals, and have satisfied the other closing conditions. The mergers will become effective at the time specified in the certificates of merger to be filed with the Ohio Secretary of State and the Delaware Secretary of State. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the duly authorized officers of Fifth Third and Comerica, the parties shall cause the effective time of the first merger to occur on the first (1st) business day of the month following the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in the merger agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the closing), provided that, (i) if the termination date of the merger agreement would occur on or after the third (3rd) business day following such satisfaction or waiver but before the first (1st) business day on which the closing would otherwise occur, then the closing will occur on the third business day following such satisfaction or waiver, and (ii) if the date on which such conditions are satisfied or waived is less than five (5) business days prior to the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month, then the effective time shall occur on the first business day of the next calendar month. Conditions to Complete the First Merger (page 133) As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, the completion of the first merger depends on a number of conditions being satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived. These conditions include:
