ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Vote Required (of our outstanding Common Stock and Series A, Class B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class) Our directors are elected by the holders of our outstanding Common Stock and Series A, Class B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. The holders of the Common Stock have one vote per share, and the holders of Preferred Stock have 24 votes per share. Under Ohio law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Regulations, in an uncontested election of directors (i.e., an election where the number of candidates nominated for election to the Board of Directors equals the number of directors to be elected), each person receiving a greater number of votes “for” his or her election than votes “against” his or her election will be elected as a director. We have also adopted provisions of our Corporate Governance Guidelines stating that in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes “against” his or her election than votes “for” his or her election will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board following certification of the shareholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will promptly consider the tendered resignation and will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation no later than 60 days following the date of the shareholders’ meeting at which the election occurred. In considering whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider factors deemed relevant by the Committee members including, without limitation, the director’s length of service, the director’s particular qualifications and contributions to Fifth Third, the reasons underlying the majority “against” vote
