ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 16, 1995, the Board of Directors of Huntington Bancshares
Incorporated ("Huntington") authorized Huntington to enter into Amendment No. 1
(the "Amendment") to the Rights Agreement (the "Rights Plan"), dated as of
February 22, 1990, between Huntington and The Huntington Trust Company, N.A.,
as Rights Agent. Prior to the Amendment, the rights under the Rights Plan
became exercisable when a person or group either (i) acquired or obtained the
right to acquire, or (ii) commenced a tender or exchange offer which would
result in that person or group acquiring, beneficial ownership of 20% or more
of the outstanding common stock of Huntington. The Amendment reduces the
triggering threshold upon which the rights become exercisable from 20% to 10%.
The Amendment also establishes the purchase price of each right at $80
as of the effective date of the Amendment, and extends the expiration date of
the Rights Agreement for ten years to August 16, 2005.
The Preferred Stock Purchase Rights were registered under Section 12(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to a Registration Statement on
Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 1990,
which Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

4. Section 3. Issue of Rights and Right Certificates, subsection (b)
shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b) Until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Triggering

Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the

Rights) (the earlier of such dates referred to in the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii) being herein referred to as the

one whole Right for each Common Share held by such record
holder. As of and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will
be evidenced solely by such Right Certificates.
