ITEM 5.02   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
The Board of Directors of Comerica Incorporated (“Comerica”) appointed Richard G. Lindner to serve on its Board of Directors, effective May 20, 2008. Mr. Lindner was also appointed as a member of Comerica’s Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and its Enterprise Risk Committee. On May 20, 2008, Comerica issued a press release regarding this appointment. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
ITEM 5.03   AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
Effective May 20, 2008, the Board of Directors amended Comerica’s bylaws.
The Board of Directors amended Article III, Sections 8(b) and (c), 12 and 13 of the bylaws (dealing with committees), to revise all references to either the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee or the Compensation Committee. Those committees were combined effective May 20, 2008 into the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, so references to them in the bylaws were changed to the new committee name. The amendments also revised Article III, Section 10 to clarify that directors can be reimbursed expenses and paid fees for attending training sessions. Previously, such authority was implicit. The amended bylaws are effective as of May 20, 2008 and are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
