Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
Effective March 23, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Fifth Third
Bancorp (the "Company") amended and restated its Regulations (as so amended, the
"Regulations"). Section 1 of Article II of the Regulations was revised to reduce
the number of days required to communicate written notice of the annual meeting
of the shareholders to shareholders from twenty (20) days to seven (7) days
prior to such meeting. In addition, Section 3 and Section 4 of Article II were
revised and a new Section 15 of Article II was added to the Regulations to
provide that the Board may determine that a meeting of the Company's
shareholders be held in a manner that allows shareholders and proxyholders to
participate, communicate and vote solely by means of communications equipment.
Section 17 of Article III of the Regulations was also revised to allow
indemnification of employees to the fullest extent permitted by Ohio law.
Lastly, a new Section 18 of Article III was added to the Regulations in order to
expressly allow, with certain exceptions, the advancement of expenses (including
attorney's fees) to anyone defending an action pursuant to the indemnification
provisions of the Regulations.
In addition, a number of non-substantive, ministerial, clarifying and conforming
changes have been made throughout the Regulations.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Regulations, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is
incorporated by reference herein.
