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

(d) This amendment is being filed to report that on September 14, 2015, the Board of Directors of Fifth Third Bancorp (the “Registrant”) appointed Director Jorge L. Benitez to its Risk and Compliance Committee (the “RCC”). As previously reported by the Registrant, its Board of Directors had increased the size of the Board to thirteen Directors and elected Jorge L. Benitez as a Director on May 27, 2015, to fill the vacancy. At the time of the election of Mr. Benitez, the Board did not know the committee or committees to which he would be appointed.

Mr. Benitez’s compensation for service as a Director and member of the RCC will be consistent with that of the Registrant’s other non-employee directors and RCC members, as described in the Registrant’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2015 and the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
