 addition, Cadence has received demand letters from counsel representing purported shareholders of Cadence (the “ Demand Letters”
and, together with the Lawsuits, the “ Matters”). The Matters each allege that, among other things, the joint proxy statement/prospectus contains certain disclosure deficiencies and/or incomplete information regarding the Merger.

Huntington and Cadence believe that the claims asserted in the Matters are without merit and that supplemental disclosures are not required or
necessary under applicable laws. However, in order to avoid the risk that the Matters delay or otherwise adversely affect the Merger, and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or
wrongdoing, and reserving all rights to contest the substantive allegations in the Matters, and the jurisdiction of courts in which the Complaints were filed, Huntington and Cadence are supplementing the joint proxy statement/prospectus as
described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary,
Huntington and Cadence specifically deny all allegations in the Matters and that any additional disclosure was or is required in the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Supplemental Disclosures to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus

The additional disclosures (the “
supplemental disclosures”) in this Current Report on Form 8-K supplement the
disclosures contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information set forth
in the supplemental disclosures differs from or updates information contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall supersede or supplement the information contained in the joint proxy
statement/prospectus. All page references are to the joint proxy statement/prospectus and terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

  The disclosure on page 57 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus under the section “ The Merger— Background of the Merger” is hereby  
  supplemented by adding the following paragraph after the first full paragraph (beginning “ On October 14, 2025…”) as follows:
