financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to such remaining term.

financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to such remaining term.

the CUSIP, ISIN, or CINS number either as printed on the 2027 Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the 2027 Notes. 



 

	 	(vii)	 Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, 2027 Notes called for redemption become due and payable at
the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the 2027 Notes called for redemption, the Company shall redeem such 2027 Notes at the redemption price. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, commencing

between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) as supplemented by a Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 5, 2020,
between the Company and the Trustee (herein called the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, issue additional Securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities of this series except
for the issue date, the issue price and the initial Interest Payment Date, provided that if such additional Securities are not fungible with this Security for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Securities will be issued with a
separate CUSIP number. Any such additional Securities may be considered to be part of this series of Securities. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, issue or incur Senior Indebtedness. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and

action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder) in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Securities will be
redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after November 2, 2020, and prior to the Applicable Par Call Date (as defined below), in each case at a redemption price, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	•	 	 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on that redemption date; and



  

	 	•	 	 the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities
being redeemed that would be due if the Securities to be redeemed matured on the Applicable Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus the Applicable Spread for the Securities to be redeemed. The
Trustee

consent or waiver is made upon this Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to conform to the terms of the
Indenture and the Securities to the description of the Securities in the prospectus supplement dated April 30, 2020 relating to the offering of the Securities. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any

institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

 Fifth Third Bancorp, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Ohio (herein called the

 [Reverse of Security] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities” or
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of April 30, 2008 (herein called the “Base Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument),
between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) as supplemented by a Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 5, 2020,
between the Company and the Trustee (herein called the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, issue additional Securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities of this series except
for the issue date, the issue price and the initial Interest Payment Date, provided that if such additional Securities are not fungible with this Security for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Securities will be issued with a
separate CUSIP number. Any such additional Securities may be considered to be part of this series of Securities. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, issue or incur Senior Indebtedness. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable (or will automatically become due and payable, without declaration or any other
action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder) in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Securities will be
redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after November 2, 2020, and prior to the Applicable Par Call Date (as defined below), in each case at a redemption price, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	•	 	 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on that redemption date; and



  

	 	•	 	 the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities
being redeemed that would be due if the Securities to be redeemed matured on the Applicable Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus the Applicable Spread for the Securities to be redeemed. The
Trustee 















	 	 
(including in its capacity as Paying Agent), shall have no responsibility to calculate any amounts in this bullet point and shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon calculation thereof as
provided by the Company to the Trustee and Paying Agent. 


 “Applicable Par Call Date means April 5, 2027. 

“Applicable Spread” means 35 basis points. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an
actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed (assuming the Securities matured on the Applicable Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to such remaining term. 
 “Comparable
Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for Securities to be redeemed, (A) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains four or more applicable Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations after excluding the highest and lowest of such applicable Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four applicable Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury
Dealers appointed by the Company to act as the “Independent Investment Banker.” 
 “Reference Treasury Dealers” mean,
with respect to the Securities offered hereby, (A), Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Fifth Third Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers
(as defined below)), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by us. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue for the Securities to be redeemed on such redemption date (expressed in each case as a percentage of its aggregate principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer
at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date. As used in the preceding sentence, “business day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banking institutions in the City of New
York are not authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed. 












 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date applicable to the
Securities, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Securities to be redeemed on such redemption date, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its aggregate principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 
 On and after
the Applicable Par Call Date, the Securities will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. 
 Installments of interest whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security, or one more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date, all as provided in the Indenture. 

Notice of redemption will be given by first class mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date, all as provided in the Tenth Supplemental Indenture. 
 This Security may be redeemed in part only in minimum denominations
of $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf
of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to conform to the terms of the
Indenture and the Securities to the description of the Securities in the prospectus supplement dated April 30, 2020 relating to the offering of the Securities.

proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of 












 
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to
institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the
coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 or any integral
