  The following tabulation sets forth the shares with respect to which voting
rights are held or shared and those shares as to which there is the power of
disposal.  It should be noted that the Ohio statutory and case law preclude
voting of Bank subsidiary-held shares for Fifth Third Bancorp directors in
certain instances and accordingly, creates the difference in voting rights as
to the election of directors and other matters as shown by the following
tabulation:

           dispositive  power with respect to 3,815,357 shares of Fifth Third

           stock held by Fifth Third Bancorp subsidiaries may be deemed
           beneficially held.
