Fifth Third Bancorp is committed to maintaining strong
corporate governance practices, and is an industry leader in
the area. As measured by RiskMetrics Group as of January
13, 2010, Fifth Third’s Corporate Governance Quotient out-
performed 92.4 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 and
100 percent of the companies in the “Banks” group.
Fifth Third Bancorp’s board is controlled by a majority of
independent outsiders. In October 2009, Fifth Third appointed
two new board members with substantial financial services
experience. Together, Jewell Hoover and Emerson Brumback
bring more than 60 years of finance and corporate governance
experience to the board.
The Company also revamped several of its committees
to provide more direct oversight of key operational risk ele-
ments. This includes reformatting the Executive Committee
as a Finance Committee, and changing the focus of the Risk
and Compliance Committee to incorporate best practices on
Enterprise Risk Management reporting.
