PROPOSAL 2: COMERICA COMPENSATION PROPOSAL

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-21(c) thereunder, Comerica is seeking a non-binding, advisory stockholder approval of the compensation of Comerica’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the first merger as disclosed in the section entitled
“The Mergers — Interests of Certain Comerica Directors and Executive Officers in the First Merger” beginning on page 109. The proposal gives holders of Comerica common stock the opportunity to express their views on
the merger-related compensation of Comerica’s named executive officers.

Accordingly, Comerica is asking holders of Comerica common stock to vote
“FOR” the adoption of the following resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis:

“RESOLVED,
that the compensation that will or may be paid or become payable to the Comerica named executive officers, in connection with the first merger, and the agreements or understandings, pursuant to which such compensation will or may be paid or become
payable, in each case as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in “The Merger-Interests of Certain Comerica Directors and Executive Officers in the First Merger—Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Comerica Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Transaction-Golden Parachute Compensation” are hereby APPROVED.”

The advisory vote on the Comerica compensation proposal is separate and apart from the votes on the Comerica merger proposal and the Comerica adjournment
proposal. Accordingly, if you are a holder of Comerica common stock, you may vote to approve the Comerica merger proposal
