EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Fifth Third Bancorp (the “Company”) and the employee benefit plans named on the cover page to this Post-Effective Amendment (collectively, the “Benefit Plans”) with respect to the common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company and interests in the Benefit Plans that might be offered and sold pursuant to the Benefit Plans (collectively, the “Registration Statements”):

• Registration Statement No. 033-55553

• Registration Statement No. 333-63518

• Registration Statement No. 333-108996

• Registration Statement No. 333-123493

• Registration Statement No. 333-214543

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to withdraw and remove from registration any unsold shares of Common Stock and plan interests in the Benefit Plans previously registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statements. The Grand Premier Financial, Inc. Savings and Stock Plan and Trust, the Merchants Bancorp Inc. Thrift Plan, the Southern Community Bancorp Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing Plan and The Old Kent Thrift Plan previously were merged, directly or indirectly, into the Fifth Third Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan or otherwise were terminated. The Fifth Third Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan (formerly known as The Fifth Third Bancorp Master Profit Sharing Plan) and the Fifth Third Bancorp Frozen Successor Plan were amended, effective June 23, 2017, to eliminate the right of participants in the plans to elect pursuant to the Plans to invest in the Company’s Common Stock.
