 nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control.

Comerica Incorporated’s (“Comerica”) and Fifth Third Bancorp’s (“Fifth Third”) actual results and financial condition
may differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. In addition to the factors relating to the first merger discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 50 and the factors set forth
in Comerica and Fifth Third’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
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 impact and timing of any government shutdown,
that could delay the first merger or could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (3) the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings or governmental inquiries or investigations that may be currently pending or later
instituted against Comerica, Fifth Third or the surviving entity; (4) the possibility that the first merger does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, stockholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are
not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Transaction); (5) the
risk that the benefits from the first merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates,
monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Comerica and Fifth Third operate; (6) disruption to the parties’ businesses as a result of the
announcement and pendency of the first merger; (7) the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the first merger, including the restrictions contained in the definitive merger agreement on the ability of Comerica
or Fifth Third to operate its business outside the ordinary course during the pendency of the first merger
