 funds are contributed to HBI-PAC. Company Contributions Huntington does not use corporate funds, either directly or indirectly, for election-related contributions to political candidates, political parties, or candidate committees, including super PACs or independent expenditure committees.

These trade associations represent their respective memberships and advocate on policy issues and initiatives important to those constituencies. Membership benefits include deeper engagement across our communities, business opportunities, and effective advocacy on behalf of the industry. Trade association membership comes with an understanding that Huntington may not always agree with the legislative positions of the organization or its other members.

Compensation of Executive Officers

| Proposal 2  Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation                                                                         |
| Our executive compensation program emphasizes                                                                                   
 performance-based compensation, particularly long-term incentives. We continually strengthen our compensation practices         
 based on our philosophy, market best practices, and feedback received from shareholders.                                        
 We believe that our compensation policies and                                                                                   
 procedures strongly align the interests of executives and shareholders. We encourage our executives to focus on long-term       
 performance through long-term incentives and stock ownership requirements. We further believe that our culture focuses          
 executives on sound risk management and appropriately rewards executives for performance. The resolution set forth below        
 gives shareholders the opportunity to vote on the compensation of our executives.                                               
 Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act                                                                                     
 and upon the recommendation of the Board, we ask shareholders to consider and vote to adopt the following resolution:           
 “RESOLVED, that the compensation paid                                                                                           
 to the named executive officers of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to          
 Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including in the Summary Compensation Table, the Compensation Discussion and                        
 Analysis, the additional compensation tables, and the accompanying narrative disclosure, is hereby approved on                  
 an advisory, non-binding basis.”                                                                                                
 Because this is an advisory vote, it will not                                                                                   
 bind the Board; however, the HRCC will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation
