Comerica (CMA) CRO Kristina Janssens Disposes Shares in Merger
What happened
Kristina E. Janssens, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer of Comerica Inc., recorded dispositions of her Comerica holdings in connection with the company’s merger with Fifth Third Bancorp effective Feb 1, 2026. The Form 4 shows dispositions of 18,887 shares of Comerica common stock and 1,225 shares reported as a derivative disposition (total 20,112 shares). The report lists $0 cash proceeds because the shares were converted under the merger terms into Fifth Third common stock. Based on the disclosed conversion ratio (1.8663 Fifth Third shares per Comerica share) and Fifth Third’s prior close of $50.22, the resulting stock position had an implied market value of about $1.89 million.

Context
This was not an open-market sale but a corporate-action disposition tied to the merger—Comerica shares were converted into Fifth Third shares (and certain awards/options were converted accordingly). The Form 4 reports $0 proceeds because the transaction was an in-kind conversion; the implied market value above is an estimate to help investors gauge the economic size of the conversion. This filing appears timely and reflects routine post-merger conversion, not a discretionary sale.
