statements: (1) the risk that the cost savings and synergies from the first merger may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized; (2) the failure of the closing conditions in the merger agreement between
Comerica and Fifth Third providing for the first merger to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the Transaction or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances, including the
