 PROPOSAL 3: NON-BINDING, ADVISORY PROPOSAL APPROVING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |

Role of the CEO and Other Executive Officers:

• Our CEO provides compensation recommendations with respect to the other NEOs and other members of our leadership team. Our CEO leverages our internal compensation staff, led by our Chief Administrative Officer ("CAO"), to aid in determining compensation recommendations.

• Our CEO also assesses the corporate contribution and individual performance of each of his direct reports.

• The Committee meets with the CEO to discuss talent management and succession planning for key positions, including unexpected or emergency situations. The CEO and CAO present succession information to the Committee and full Board annually.

• Neither our CEO nor any other executive officer plays a role in determining the officer's own compensation.

#### Peer Group
The Committee used the following peer group to evaluate and understand market pay levels and practices among similarly situated financial institutions in 2024. To determine the peer group, the top 50 U.S. financial institutions, based on asset size, were reviewed using a variety of financial metrics (assets, revenue and market capitalization), their business models, geographic locations and competition with Comerica for talent. The same peer group is used in making financial comparisons for the purposes of investor presentations.
