08:20 AM EST, 11/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Comerica ( CMA ) is facing pressure from HoldCo Asset Management to disclose more information about its agreement to be acquired by Fifth Third Bancorp ( FITB ) , with the activist investor calling the sale process "flawed," Bloomberg reported, citing a HoldCo presentation.

HoldCo says Comerica ( CMA ) failed to run an independent, competitive process and accepted a price at the low end of the valuation range of Fifth Third's first offer, according to the report.

The investor is seeking additional disclosures about the sales process, including the identify of alternative bidder that was noted in a Nov. 5 regulatory filing, Bloomberg reported.

Comerica ( CMA ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
