 date for the Fifth Third special meeting are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Fifth Third special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Holders of

depositary shares representing Fifth Third voting preferred stock may not vote directly at the Fifth Third special meeting but should follow the directions given to them as to how to instruct the
depositary, Equiniti Trust Company LLC, to vote the Fifth Third voting preferred stock represented by such holder’s depositary shares, using Fifth Third’s proxy card, which also serves as voting instructions to the depositary. A failure
by the holder of such depositary shares to give timely voting instructions to the depositary will result in the Fifth Third voting preferred stock represented by such holder’s depositary shares not being voted at the Fifth Third special
meeting.

Fifth Third has determined that holders of Fifth Third common stock and holders of Fifth Third preferred stock (including depositary shares in
respect of Fifth Third preferred stock) are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to the proposed first merger under the Ohio General Corporation Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement.

The Fifth Third board of directors unanimously recommends that Fifth Third voting shareholders vote “FOR” the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal and “FOR” the Fifth Third adjournment proposal.

If you have any questions or need assistance with voting, please contact Fifth Third’s proxy solicitor, D.F. King & Co. by calling (866) 207-3626for stockholders or (646) 604-4668for banks and brokers or by emailing FITB@dfking.com.

Your vote is important. We cannot complete the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement unless Fifth Third
voting shareholders approve the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the Fifth Third special meeting, we urge you to please promptly complete, sign, date and return the accompanying proxy card in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope or authorize the individuals named on the accompanying proxy card to vote your shares by calling the toll-free telephone number or by using the Internet as described in the instructions included with the accompanying proxy
card. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction card furnished by such bank, broker or other nominee.
