ITEM 8.01    OTHER EVENTS.
On October 18, 2018, Comerica Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement to repurchase $500 million of the Company's common stock.
Under the terms of the ASR agreement, the Company will receive an initial delivery of common shares representing approximately 80% of the expected total to be repurchased. Subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the ASR agreement, the final number of shares repurchased and delivered under the ASR agreement will be based on the volume weighted average share price of the Company's common stock during the term of the transaction, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The ASR is part of the Company’s previously announced plan to repurchase up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock for the fourth quarter of 2018, and within the remaining number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized under the Board of Directors’ prior authorizations for the Company’s equity repurchase program.
