3Q09 credit outlook

Current expectations:

—

Approximately $775 million in 3Q09 net charge-offs (versus $626 million in 2Q09)

—

Approximately $3.4 billion in nonperforming assets* at 9/30/09, up ~20% from 6/30/09,

primarily driven by commercial

Net charge-offs:

—

Commercial: ~$500-525 million; growth driven primarily by CRE, more moderate

growth in C&I

–

SNC net charge-offs: ~$110 million (versus $17 million in 2Q09)

–

Majority from non-agented transactions: $25 million where FITB agent (in line

with expectations); ~$85 million where another bank agent

–

SNC charge-offs in 4Q09 expected to be significantly lower than 3Q09

—

Consumer: ~$250-260 million; decline primarily in residential RE

* Does not include approximately $300 million in nonperforming assets held for sale; does not include approximately $1.4 billion in accruing troubled debt restructurings

Total net charge-offs for 1H09 were $1.1B,

much

lower

than

the

assumption

under

the SCAP adverse scenario

Loan losses are not expected to approach

the losses assumed under the SCAP

adverse scenario

Through three of eight quarters (~38% of

assessment period), we currently expect

to have incurred approximately 20% of

total assumed losses under the adverse

scenario
