DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
In accordance with the undertaking of Fifth Third Bancorp set forth in
the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-84955), declared effective
on September 2, 1999, Fifth Third is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2
to deregister an aggregate of 8,520,212 shares of its common stock, no par
value, previously registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to the
registration statement, issuable to the shareholders of CNB Bancshares, Inc. in
connection with the merger of CNB Bancshares with and into Fifth Third.
Pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4, 40,000,000 shares
of common stock were registered. These shares were registered pursuant to the
registration statement in order to be issued: (i) to the shareholders of CNB
Bancshares in connection with the merger and (ii) upon the exercise of options
granted to certain directors, officers and employees of CNB Bancshares under its
1999 Stock Incentive Plan, 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and Associate Stock Option
Plan, as well as certain options granted by predecessors of CNB Bancshares. The
options granted by predecessors of CNB Bancshares were granted under the
following plans: King City Federal Savings Bank 1986 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan; Indiana Bancshares, Inc. 1990 Stock Option Plan; National Bancorp Stock
Option Plan; Indiana Federal Corporation 1986 Stock Option and Incentive Plan;
and UF Bancorp, Inc. 1991 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Upon consummation of
the merger, Fifth Third issued a total of 30,370,745 of these shares to the
shareholders of CNB Bancshares. Fifth Third then amended the registration
statement by filing Post- Effective Amendment No.1 on Form S-8 to Form S-4 to
cover 1,109,043 of these shares to be issued upon the exercise of the options.
Therefore, in accordance with the undertaking mentioned above, Fifth Third
hereby deregisters the remaining 8,520,212 shares of Fifth Third common stock
previously registered pursuant to the registration statement.
