Redemption of Series L Preferred Stock. On September 19, 2025, Fifth Third Bancorp (the “ Company”) announced that the Company delivered a redemption notice to Equiniti Trust Company LLC, as the Depositary (the “ Depositary”), to redeem on September 30, 2025 (the “ Redemption Date”) (1) all of the Company’s outstanding 4.500% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series L (CUSIP 316773DC1) (the “ Series L Preferred Stock”), and (2) all outstanding receipts evidencing depositary shares representing the Series L Preferred Stock (CUSIP No. 316773DB3) (the “ Depositary Shares”). The Series L Preferred Stock will be redeemed pursuant to its terms and conditions for a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. The Depositary Shares will be redeemed pursuant to their terms and conditions for a redemption price of $1,000 per Depositary Share, plus an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, without accumulation of any

undeclared dividends. For the third quarter of 2025, the redemption of the Series L Preferred Stock will result in an approximate reduction to net income available to common shareholders of $3.5 million, which will be treated as incremental preferred dividend expense.

The Company will redeem the Series L Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares pursuant to the optional redemption provisions contained in the terms and conditions of such instruments. Upon completion of the redemptions, no Series L Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares will remain outstanding.

Notice of redemption will be sent by the Depositary to the registered holders of receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares.

A copy of the press release announcing the notice of the redemption is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
