issuance of shares of Fifth Third common stock to Comerica stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement, and Comerica will ask the Comerica stockholders to adopt the merger agreement. Information about these meetings and the mergers is contained in
this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Holders of Comerica preferred stock and Comerica depositary shares representing Comerica preferred stock are not
entitled to, and are not requested to, vote at the Comerica special meeting. Holders of Fifth Third preferred stock and Fifth Third depositary shares representing Fifth Third preferred stock (other than Fifth Third voting preferred stock) are not
entitled to, and are not requested to, vote at the Fifth Third special meeting.
