 materials to the beneficial owners of the stock, and we will reimburse them for their expenses. We have retained D.F. King & Co., a proxy solicitation firm to assist us in soliciting proxies. We anticipate that the costs of D.F. King’s proxy solicitation services will be approximately $14,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. How do I vote? Record Shareholders. A shareholder who owns Common Stock in Fifth Third directly, and not through a broker, bank, or other nominee (“record holder” or “record shareholder”), may vote electronically at the Annual Meeting by filling out a ballot or may authorize a proxy to vote on his or her behalf. There are three ways to authorize a proxy:

| 1. | Internet: You may access the proxy materials on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions on the proxy card or on the Notice of Internet Availability. |

| 2. | Telephone: You may call toll-free 1-800-690-6903 and follow the instructions on the proxy card or on the Notice of Internet Availability. |

| 3. | Mail: If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by signing, dating, and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. |

Shareholders who vote over the Internet may incur costs, such as telephone and Internet access charges, for which the shareholder is responsible. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate a shareholder’s identity and to allow a shareholder to vote his or her shares and confirm that his or her instructions have been properly recorded. You may use the Internet or telephone to submit your proxy, but you must vote no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 14, 2025 for shares held directly and by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 10, 2025 for shares held in a Plan. Holders of depositary shares representing the Series A, Class B Preferred Stock are not record holders of the Series A, Class B Preferred Stock and must instruct the depositary as to how the Series A, Class B Preferred Stock represented by the depositary interests are to be voted. Your proxy serves as your voting instructions to the depositary. You may use the Internet or telephone to submit your proxy (voting instructions), but you must submit your proxy by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 10, 2025.
