Dear Shareholder:
You recently received our Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Proxy Card for
the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September 10, 1997,
for the purpose of approving the merger of First Michigan Bank Corporation into
Huntington. The September 10 meeting is quickly approaching. As of August 19,
we had not received your proxy card.
Trading volume in Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Common Stock has been
unusually high since August 4, in part due to demand created by Huntington
being added to the S&P 500 Index. AS THE RECORD HOLDER OF SHARES ON THE JULY 9,
1997 RECORD DATE, YOU STILL NEED TO VOTE THE SHARES, EVEN IF YOU SOLD SHARES
SINCE THE RECORD DATE.
If you have already voted your shares, we thank you. However, if you have not
already voted, please complete, sign and return the duplicate proxy card in the
enclosed postage-paid return envelope so that your shares may be counted.
Thank you for your vote. We appreciate your continued interest in Huntington
Bancshares Incorporated.
Sincerely,
/s/ Frank Wobst
Frank Wobst
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
