 a company listed on NASDAQ is required to obtain
shareholder approval of a majority of the votes cast on such proposal prior to the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of stock of another company if
the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, or the number of shares of
common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. If the first merger is completed, the number of shares of Fifth Third common
stock issued will exceed 20% of the Fifth Third common stock outstanding before such issuance. In this proposal, Fifth Third is asking Fifth Third voting shareholders to authorize the issuance of Fifth Third common stock in connection with the first
merger. See “The Mergers — Fifth Third Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of Fifth Third’s Board of Directors” beginning on page 79 in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the
Fifth Third board of directors’ recommendation.

The approval of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal by Fifth Third voting shareholders is a
condition to the completion of the first merger. A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as AnnexA.

The board of directors of Fifth Third unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal.

PROPOSAL 2: FIFTH THIRD ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Fifth Third special meeting may be adjourned to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient
votes at the time of the Fifth Third special meeting to approve the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Fifth Third voting
shareholders.

If, at the Fifth Third special meeting, the number of shares of Fifth Third common stock and Fifth Third voting preferred stock present
virtually or represented by proxy and voting in favor of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal is insufficient to approve the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal, Fifth Third intends to move to adjourn the Fifth Third special meeting in order to
enable its board of directors to solicit additional proxies for approval of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal.
