Tanner to Step Away from Chief Administrative Officer Role at Fifth Third Bancorp

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) today announced that Teresa Tanner,
executive vice president and chief administrative officer, has decided
to step away from full-time work at the bank after 15 years.

“I step away from day-to-day involvement with the Company with a blend
of excitement for what is to come and nostalgia for what I am choosing
to leave,” said Tanner. “Fifth Third has been the greatest joy of my
professional life. I have grown here as a leader and as a person. The
opportunity to help deliver on our promises to serve our communities,
customers, employees and shareholders has humbled and amazed me. At the
same time, though, I also know a different world awaits if I have the
courage to embrace it. I care deeply about building communities,
empowering women, and finding new ways to solve old problems. This
career decision will allow me the opportunity to amplify and accelerate
my work on those important topics.”

Tanner will continue to serve on a number of Cincinnati-based nonprofit
boards. Her responsibilities as Fifth Third’s chief administrative
officer will be consolidated among several senior leaders.

“Fifth Third has been fortunate to have such a talented leader with so
much passion for the organization and for doing what is right to serve
our stakeholders,” said Greg Carmichael, Fifth Third chairman, president
and chief executive officer. “Her counsel, courage and commitment have
inspired me and countless others at Fifth Third Bank. We simply would
not be the organization we are today without Teresa’s leadership over
the past 15 years. We wish Teresa the best as she pursues the next
chapter in her life.”
