 vote in the election of the board of directors and on other matters affecting Fifth Third and Comerica, respectively. When the first merger is completed, each Comerica stockholder will become a shareholder of Fifth Third, with a
percentage ownership of Fifth Third that is smaller than the stockholder’s percentage ownership of Comerica individually, as applicable, prior to the consummation of the first merger. Based on the number of shares of Fifth Third and Comerica
common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the respective record date, and based on the number of shares of Fifth Third common stock expected to be issued in the first merger, the former holders of Comerica common stock, as a group, are
estimated to own approximately twenty-seven percent (27%) of the outstanding shares of Fifth Third common stock immediately after the first merger and the former holders of Fifth Third common stock as a group are estimated to own approximately
seventy-three percent (73%) of the outstanding shares of Fifth Third common stock immediately after the first merger. Because of this, holders of Comerica common stock may have less influence on the management and policies of Fifth Third than they
now have on the management and policies of Comerica, and holders of Fifth Third common stock may have less influence on the management and policies of Fifth Third than they now have on the management and policies of Fifth Third.

Fifth Third shareholders and Comerica stockholders will not have dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights in the first merger.

Appraisal rights (also known as dissenters’ rights) are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders to dissent from a
transaction, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the transaction. Fifth Third
shareholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the OGCL in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Comerica stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the
DGCL in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Shareholder litigation could prevent or delay the completion of the first merger or otherwise negatively impact the business and operations of Fifth Third and Comerica.

Shareholders of Fifth Third and/or
stockholders of Comerica may file lawsuits against Fifth Third, Comerica and/or the directors and officers of either company in connection with the first merger and/or the other transactions contemplated
