 the interests of holders of Fifth Third common stock and of holders of Comerica’s common stock, respectively.

Holders of Fifth Third common
stock and of holders of Comerica common stock should be aware that some of the directors and executive officers of each of Fifth Third and Comerica may have interests in the first merger and have arrangements that are different from, or in addition
to, those of Fifth Third shareholders and Comerica stockholders. These interests and arrangements may create potential conflicts of interest. The boards of directors of each of Fifth Third and Comerica were aware of these respective interests and
considered these interests, among other matters, when making their decisions to adopt or approve, as applicable, the merger agreement, and in recommending that holders of their respective companies’ common stock vote to adopt or approve, as
applicable, the merger agreement. For a more complete description of these interests, please see “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Fifth Third Directors and Executive Officers in the First Merger”
beginning on page 107 and “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Comerica Directors and Executive Officers in the First Merger” beginning on page 109.

The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the first merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement may not be completed.

The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the first merger. Those
conditions include: (i) the approval of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal by the requisite vote of the Fifth Third voting shareholders; (ii) the adoption of the Comerica merger proposal by the requisite vote of the Comerica
stockholders; (iii) authorization for listing on NASDAQ of the shares of Fifth Third common stock and new Fifth Third preferred stock to be issued in the first merger; (iv) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals which are
necessary to close the mergers and the bank mergers, including the approval of the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the Texas Department of Banking, and the expiration of all statutory waiting periods without the imposition of any materially
burdensome regulatory condition; (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part, and the absence of a stop order or proceeding
initiated or threatened by the SEC for that purpose; (vi) the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the completion of
