 may be paid to Comerica’s named executive officers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (the “Comerica compensation proposal”), and (ii) to approve a proposal to adjourn the special meeting of Comerica stockholders (the “Comerica special meeting”), if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if, immediately prior to such adjournment, there are insufficient votes to adopt the Comerica merger proposal or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Comerica stockholders (the “Comerica adjournment proposal”). Holders of Comerica preferred stock and Comerica depositary shares are not entitled to notice of the Comerica special meeting, and are not entitled to, and are not requested to, vote at the Comerica special 2

meeting. Comerica stockholders and holders of Comerica preferred stock and Comerica depositary shares are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement under Title 8, Section 262 of the Delaware Code (the “DGCL”). For more information, see the section entitled “ The Mergers — Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights in the First Merger” beginning on page 118. This joint proxy statement/prospectus is also a prospectus that is being delivered to Comerica stockholders because, pursuant to the merger agreement, Fifth Third is offering shares of Fifth Third common stock to Comerica stockholders. Fifth Third is also issuing shares of new Fifth Third preferred stock to holders of Comerica preferred stock. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each share of Comerica preferred stock will be automatically converted into the right to receive one (1) share of new Fifth Third preferred stock, and each outstanding Comerica depositary share will be automatically converted into a new Fifth Third depositary share. This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the mergers and the other proposals being voted on at the Fifth Third and Comerica special meetings. You should read it, including the annexes hereto and the documents incorporated by reference herein, carefully and in its entirety. The enclosed materials allow you to have your shares of common or voting preferred stock, as applicable, voted by proxy without attending your special meeting. Your vote is important, and we encourage you to submit your proxy as soon as possible.
