COMERICA (CMA) EVP Larry E. Franco Sells Shares
What Happened
- Larry E. Franco, Executive Vice President of Comerica Inc. (CMA), reported a disposition of 10,641 shares of Comerica common stock on Feb 1, 2026. The Form 4 lists a price of $0.00 because the shares were converted as part of Comerica’s merger with Fifth Third Bancorp. Using the merger conversion ratio (1.8663 Fifth Third shares per Comerica share) and Fifth Third’s prior-close price of $50.22, the 10,641 Comerica shares equate to about 19,859 Fifth Third shares, with an estimated value of roughly $997,000.

Context
- This was not an open-market sale driven by the insider: the disposition reflects the mandatory conversion of Comerica shares in the completed merger with Fifth Third (so the Form 4 shows $0.00 price). The filing documents conversion mechanics and resulting ownership changes; it does not, by itself, indicate bullish or bearish trading intent.
