TERMS OF PERFORMANCE UNITS AWARD

 

Performance Goals

 

Performance Measure: The number of performance units earned is dependent upon the relative total shareholder return (TSR) achieved by Fifth Third Bancorp stockholders during the Performance Period commencing             ,          and ending             ,         . TSR will be determined by reference to change in market value of Fifth Third Bancorp stock, plus reinvested dividends, during the Performance Period. Fifth Third Bancorp TSR will be compared to the TSR of the peer group shown below. For the purpose of measuring TSR for Fifth Third Bancorp and the peer group, a 30-day average price will be used to measure market value at the beginning and end of the Performance Period. Dividends will be reinvested at the market price on the day of the dividend.

 

Performance Goal: The goal is to achieve a relatively high return for Fifth Third Bancorp. No performance units will be earned unless Fifth Third Bancorp’s TSR is at least equal to the             th percentile of the TSR achieved by the Peer Group.

 

Peer Group:

Determination and Payment of Earned Performance Units

 

Upon completion of the Performance Period, the level of achievement of the Performance Goals will be determined by the Committee. The final award will be determined by multiplying the Target Performance Units awarded by the

 


applicable percentage. Straight-line extrapolation will be used to determine % of Target Performance Units Earned for achievement between performance levels shown above.

 

The value of the earned Performance Units (based on the fair market value of one share of Fifth Third Bancorp stock per earned Performance Unit as of the end of the performance period) will be paid 50% in cash in one lump sum and 50% in shares of Fifth Third Bancorp stock. Payments will be made no later than             ,         .

 

Tax Withholding

 

The amount of cash and the fair market value of the shares paid with respect to earned Performance Units will be taxed as wages. Tax withholding will apply at the time of payment.

 

Effect of Termination of Employment Prior to End of Performance Period

 

In the event you cease to be employed by Fifth Third Bancorp or its subsidiaries prior to the end of the Performance Period of Restriction, the disposition of the Performance Units will be as provided in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 of the Plan.
