ides allow non-management directors to discuss issues facing the Company, including matters concerning management, without any members of management present. The role of the Facilitating Director provides leadership for such discussions and serves as a bridge between the independent directors and the Company’s management team.

#### Annual Self-Evaluation
The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee (in this section, the "Governance Committee") oversees the self-evaluation process and reports to the Board on the assessment of the performance of the Board and its committees.

#### Nominee Selection Process
In identifying candidates for nomination as directors, the Governance Committee considers the individual’s specific qualities and skills. Its criteria for assessing nominees include a potential nominee’s ability to represent the long-term interests of Comerica's four core constituencies: its shareholders, its customers, the communities it serves and its employees. Minimum qualifications for a director nominee are experience in those areas that the Board determines are necessary and appropriate to meet the needs of Comerica, including leadership positions in public companies, small or middle market businesses, or not-for-profit, professional/regulatory or educational organizations. For those proposed director nominees who meet the minimum qualifications, the Governance Committee then assesses the proposed nominee’s specific qualifications, evaluates independence and considers other factors, including skills, business segment representation, geographic location, considerations of diversity, standards of integrity, memberships on other boards (with a special focus on director interlocks) and ability and willingness to commit to serving on the Board for an extended period of time and to dedicate adequate time and attention to the affairs of Comerica as necessary to properly discharge their duties.

#### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES19

All of the director nominees completed the required questionnaire. A nominee also must make certain representations and agree that they (i) will abide by the requirements of Article III, Section 14 of the bylaws (concerning, among other things, the required tendering of a resignation by a director who does not receive a majority of votes cast in an uncontested election), (ii) are not and will not become a party to (a) any agreement,
