01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed June 3, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) filed an 8-K on June 3, 2026, disclosing that it will move the listing of its common stock and four series of depositary shares from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange.
On June 1, 2026, the company notified Nasdaq of its intent to voluntarily withdraw the listings. Trading on Nasdaq is expected to end at market close on June 11, 2026, and trading on the NYSE is expected to begin at market open on June 12, 2026. The common stock keeps the ticker "FITB," and the preferred depositary shares move to "FITB PRA," "FITB PRI," "FITB PRK," and "FITB PRM." The filing is administrative and contains no financial results, guidance, capital metrics, or operational updates.
The company describes the move as the largest bank listing transfer in NYSE history, according to NYSE's president, and Chairman, CEO, and President Tim Spence and the board are scheduled to ring the NYSE opening bell on June 12. For investors, the change is mainly a matter of venue and ticker presentation.
It should not by itself affect the company's fundamentals, dividends, or share count, although investors should confirm trading details with their brokers around the transition dates. The Item 7.01 disclosure, including the press release (Exhibit 99.1), is furnished rather than filed under the Exchange Act, so it is not subject to Section 18 liability unless specifically incorporated into another filing.

Will my FITB common stock ticker change?
No. Common stock will continue to trade under "FITB" after moving to the NYSE. The preferred depositary shares will change to "FITB PRA," "FITB PRI," "FITB PRK," and "FITB PRM."
When will trading move from Nasdaq to the NYSE?
Nasdaq listing and trading are expected to end at market close on June 11, 2026, with NYSE trading expected to begin at market open on June 12, 2026.
Do the preferred shares remain the same securities after the transfer?
