 company and the proposed transaction requires federal regulatory approval. Dissenter’s Rights Under the Ohio General Corporation Law Under the OGCL, stockholders have the right to dissent from certain corporate actions and receive the fair cash value for their shares if they follow certain procedures. Stockholders entitled to relief as dissenting stockholders under Ohio law include stockholders:

| • |     | dissenting from certain amendments to the corporation’s articles of incorporation; |

| • |     | of a corporation where all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation are being leased, sold, 
 exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of outside of the ordinary course of its business;          |

| • |     | of a corporation that is being merged or consolidated into a surviving or new entity; |

| • |     | of a surviving corporation in a merger who are entitled to vote on the adoption of an agreement of merger (but 
 only as to the shares so entitling them to vote);                                                              |

| • |     | other than the parent corporation, of an Ohio subsidiary corporation that is being merged into its parent 
 corporation;                                                                                              |

| • |     | of an acquiring corporation in a combination or a majority share acquisition who are entitled to vote on such 
 transaction (but only as to the shares so entitling them to vote);                                            |

| • |     | of an Ohio subsidiary corporation into which one or more domestic or foreign corporations are being merged; and |

| • |     | of a domestic corporation that is being converted. |

The existence of the above provisions could potentially result in Fifth Third being less attractive to a potential acquiror, or result in Fifth Third shareholders receiving less for their shares of Fifth Third common stock than otherwise might be available if there is a takeover attempt. The OGCL has eliminated dissenters’ rights in connection with the above corporate actions if the shares of the corporation for which a stockholder would make a demand are listed on a national securities exchange and no proceedings are underway to delist the shares. Therefore, none of the Fifth Third shareholders who own shares of Fifth Third stock listed on a national securities exchange could exercise dissenter’s rights with respect to such shares unless, and until, such shares would be delisted. Description of Fifth Third Preferred Stock The Fifth Third board of directors has the right to adopt amendments to the Fifth Third articles of incorporation in respect of any unissued or treasury shares of the Fifth Third preferred stock and fix or change: (1) the division of such shares of the Fifth Third preferred stock into series
