Notice of Application for the Mergers of Comerica Bank and Comerica Bank & Trust, National Association with and into Fifth Third Bank, National Association
Notice is given that an application ("Application") has been made to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), 400 7th Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20219, for consent to merge each of Comerica Bank ("Comerica Bank"), main office located at 1717 Main Street Dallas, Texas 75201 and Comerica Bank & Trust, National Association ("Comerica Bank & Trust"), main office located at 101 North Main Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, with and into Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third Bank"), main office located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza Cincinnati, Ohio 45263, with Fifth Third Bank as the surviving bank in each merger (collectively, the "Bank Mergers").
Comerica Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated ("Comerica"), headquarters located at 1717 Main Street Dallas, Texas 75201 and Comerica Bank & Trust is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comerica Holdings Incorporated ("Comerica Holdings"), headquarters located at 1717 Main Street Dallas, Texas 75201, which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comerica. Fifth Third Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fifth Third Financial Corporation ("Fifth Third Financial"), headquarters located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza Cincinnati, Ohio 45263, which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fifth Third Bancorp, headquarters located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza Cincinnati, Ohio 45263 ("Fifth Third"). Prior to the Bank Mergers, Comerica will merge with and into Fifth Third Financial, with Fifth Third Financial as the surviving company, and immediately thereafter, Comerica Holdings will merge with and into Fifth Third Financial, with Fifth Third Financial as the surviving company. In the Bank Mergers, Comerica Bank and Comerica Bank & Trust will each merge with and into Fifth Third Bank with Fifth Third Bank as the surviving bank, and Fifth Third Bank will continue as a national banking association.
The main office of Fifth Third Bank would remain its main office location, and the main office of Comerica Bank in Dallas, Texas 75201, would become a branch office of Fifth Third Bank. Fifth Third Bank is evaluating what need, if any, there is to close or consolidate branches (whether Fifth Third Bank or Comerica Bank branches) in geographies where branches of Fifth Third Bank and Comerica Bank overlap or for other business reasons, as a result of the merger of Comerica Bank with and into Fifth Third Bank. It is likely Fifth Third will not make decisions regarding bank branches until some period of time after the Application is filed. When Fifth Third Bank and Comerica Bank identify branches that will be closed or consolidated in connection with the Bank Mergers, they will follow all applicable regulatory procedures for such actions.
