Amendments to the Registrants Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics
|
On September 19, 2018, Fifth Third Bancorps Board of Directors approved and adopted the amended and
restated Fifth Third Bancorp Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the
Code
) attached hereto as Exhibit 14 and which will also be available on Fifth Thirds website at www.53.com. The Code is applicable to all officers,
directors, employees and contractors of Fifth Third Bancorp and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including but not limited to Fifth Thirds principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller.
The revisions came as a result of the annual evaluation of the Code and do not result in any waiver to any officer, director, employee or contractor of Fifth Third, explicit or implicit, from any provision of the Code as in effect prior to the
Boards action to amend and restate the Code.
The revisions to the Code updated and clarified topics previously addressed in the
Code and other Fifth Third policy documents. These include guidance with respect to insider trading restrictions, treatment of confidential information, the receipt of gifts, personal finances, and political activities, among other matters. The Code
was also revised to require employees to notify Fifth Third if they are convicted of serious criminal offenses and to affirm the Companys commitment to supporting the communities in which it does business. Notwithstanding these changes, the
overriding ethical principles underlying each provision of the prior Code remain substantively unchanged. Technical, administrative and other
non-substantive
revisions were also made to the Code.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Code is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code attached as
Exhibit 14, which is incorporated herein by reference.
