Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective September 11, 2019, James J. Herzog, Comerica Incorporated’s (“Comerica”) Executive Vice President and Treasurer, has been appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Comerica has initiated a search process to identify a permanent Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Herzog, 57, has served as Comerica’s Executive Vice President and Treasurer since November 2011. He started working at Comerica in 1984 and has held various roles of increasing responsibility in Comerica’s Finance Department. As Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Herzog’s base salary will increase to $360,000 per year.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Herzog and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as an officer, and Mr. Herzog has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Herzog does not have a family relationship with any member of the Board or any executive officer of Comerica.

Muneera S. Carr ceased serving as Chief Financial Officer of Comerica, effective September 11, 2019. However, it is expected that Ms. Carr will continue in the role of Executive Vice President of Comerica until on or around October 10, 2019, at which time her employment will end. Ms. Carr’s departure from Comerica is not the result of any issue, concern or disagreement with Comerica’s accounting, financial reporting or internal control over financial reporting. The financial arrangements and other material terms arising from Ms. Carr’s departure will be disclosed once they have been decided.

Curtis C. Farmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comerica, commented, “Muneera has made many valuable contributions to Comerica, both as Chief Financial Officer and while she served as Chief Accounting Officer. On behalf of Comerica, I would like to thank Muneera for her leadership, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.”
