Executive Summary
Fifth Third Bancorp announced early tender results for its exchange offers to swap up to $1.55 billion of Comerica-issued senior notes assumed via merger for new Fifth Third notes and cash. As of May 21, 2026, 60.1% of the 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 ($330.5M of $550M outstanding) and 93.7% of the 5.982% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2030 ($937.3M of $1.0B outstanding) were validly tendered. FTFC received the requisite consents to amend the indentures. This is a routine liability management transaction that simplifies Fifth Third's capital structure by replacing assumed debt with its own obligations, with no material financial impact on the preferred stock (FITBP).
