EXPLANATORY NOTE

On October 5, 2025, Comerica Incorporated (“Comerica”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bancorp (“Fifth Third”), Fifth Third Financial Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fifth Third (“Fifth Third Intermediary”) and Comerica Holdings Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Comerica (“Comerica Holdings”). On February 1, 2026, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Comerica merged with and into Fifth Third Intermediary, with Fifth Third Intermediary continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Step Merger”). At the effective time of the First Step Merger (“Effective Time”), each share of the common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Comerica issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain shares held by Comerica or Fifth Third, was converted into the right to receive 1.8663 shares of common stock, without par value, of Fifth Third. Immediately following the First Step Merger, Comerica Holdings merged with and into Fifth Third Intermediary, with Fifth Third Intermediary continuing as the surviving corporation. Accordingly, there are no holders of record of the securities covered by this Form 15.
