 Mergers — Fifth Third Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of Fifth Third’s Board of Directors” beginning on page 79 in this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the
Fifth Third board of directors’ recommendation.

The approval of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal by Fifth Third voting shareholders is a
condition to the completion of the first merger. A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as AnnexA.

The board of directors of Fifth Third unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal.

PROPOSAL 2: FIFTH THIRD ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Fifth Third special meeting may be adjourned to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient
votes at the time of the Fifth Third special meeting to approve the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Fifth Third voting
shareholders.

If, at the Fifth Third special meeting, the number of shares of Fifth Third common stock and Fifth Third voting preferred stock present
virtually or represented by proxy and voting in favor of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal is insufficient to approve the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal, Fifth Third intends to move to adjourn the Fifth Third special meeting in order to
enable its board of directors to solicit additional proxies for approval of the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal. In that event, Fifth Third will ask Fifth Third voting shareholders to vote upon the Fifth Third adjournment proposal, but not the
Fifth Third stock issuance proposal.

In this proposal, Fifth Third is asking Fifth Third voting shareholders to authorize the holder of any proxy
solicited by the Fifth Third board of directors, on a discretionary basis if (i) there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Fifth Third special meeting to approve the Fifth Third stock issuance proposal or (ii) necessary or
appropriate to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely
