 non-vote, abstention or otherwise, will have the same effect as votes cast “AGAINST” the Comerica merger proposal.                                  |

Comerica Proposal 2: Comerica compensation proposal. Approval of the Comerica compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of shares present virtually or represented by proxy at Comerica’s special meeting and entitled to vote on the Comerica compensation proposal. Accordingly, if a Comerica stockholder is present at the Comerica special meeting and abstains from voting, or responds by proxy with an “ABSTAIN,” it will have the same effect as a vote cast “AGAINST” the Comerica compensation proposal. If a Comerica stockholder is not present at the Comerica special meeting and does not respond by proxy or does not provide his, her or its bank, broker or other nominee with instructions, as applicable and as may be required, it will have no effect on the outcome of the Comerica compensation proposal. Comerica Proposal 3: Comerica adjournment proposal. Approval of the Comerica adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present virtually or represented by proxy at the Comerica special meeting and entitled to vote on the Comerica adjournment proposal. If a Comerica stockholder is present at the Comerica special meeting and abstains from voting, or responds by proxy with an “ABSTAIN,” it will have the same effect as a vote cast “AGAINST” the Comerica adjournment proposal. If a Comerica stockholder is not present at the Comerica special meeting and does not respond by proxy or does not provide his, her or its bank, broker or other nominee with instructions, as applicable and as may be required, it will have no effect on the outcome of the Comerica adjournment proposal.
