The proxies will be used at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation and at any adjournments of the meeting. The meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, May 19, 1995 at the location and for the purposes listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and a Proxy Card will be mailed to shareholders beginning April 14, 1995. The Corporation's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1994 was mailed previously to shareholders. The common stock of the Corporation is the only security of the Corporation with voting rights. Only shareholders of record of the common stock outstanding at the close of business on March 22, 1995 (the "record date") will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. At the close of business on March 22, 1995, there were 119,294,417 shares of common stock outstanding. Each shareholder of record will be entitled to one vote for each share held on each matter presented for a vote at the meeting. Votes may be cast either in person or by proxy. A shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time before the proxy is exercised by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation prior to the annual meeting or by voting in person at the meeting. A quorum must exist to conduct business at the annual meeting. A quorum exists if a majority of the shares of common stock of the Corporation outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. If a quorum exists, the favorable vote of a majority of the shares represented and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to elect a director or approve other matters submitted for a vote at the meeting. Shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in the manner specified in the proxies. If no instructions are specified, shares represented by proxies will be voted to approve the election of the nominees for Class II Directors and the stock option plan for non-employee directors presented in this Proxy Statement. If any other matter is properly submitted for a vote at the meeting and no instructions are specified in a proxy, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting the shares. Proxies containing abstentions or broker 1 6 nonvotes with respect to the election of directors or the proposal to approve the stock option plan will have the same effect as a vote against the matter. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Corporation. Proxies will be solicited primarily by mail. Proxies also may be solicited personally and by telephone, facsimile and other means. The Corporation will use the services of Georgeson & Company, Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, at a cost of $7,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses and fees for any special services. Proxies also may be solicited by officers and regular employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. No additional compensation will be paid to officers and employees for soliciting proxies, nor will their efforts result in more than a minimal cost to the Corporation. The Corporation also will reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of the Corporation's common stock. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors is divided into three classes with each class of directors elected to a three year term of office on a rotating basis. At each annual meeting of shareholders, a class of directors is elected to succeed the class of directors whose term of office expires at that meeting. The term of office of four Class II Directors expires at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors has nominated four individuals recommended by the Directors Committee for election as Class II Directors of the Corporation at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The nominees are James F. Cordes, Patricia Shontz Longe, Ph.D., Gerald V. MacDonald and Eugene A. Miller. All the nominees have consented to their nominations and have agreed to serve as directors of the Corporation if elected. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other individual who will be nominated for election as a director at the meeting. The shares represented by valid proxies will be voted at the annual meeting in the manner specified in the proxies. If no instructions are specified, the shares will be voted to approve the election of the four nominees named above. Although it is not anticipated, if any of these nominees are unable to serve, the shares may be voted to approve the election of any substitute nominees recommended by the Directors Committee. If no substitute nominees are recommended, the number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting may be reduced by the number of nominees who are unable to serve. The individuals who are elected as Class II Directors at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will hold office for three years. Their terms will expire at the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or upon the election and qualification of their successors. 2 7 INFORMATION ABOUT NOMINEES AND INCUMBENT DIRECTORS The following information is provided for each nominee for election as a Class II Director at the annual meeting and for each of the Class I and Class III Directors whose term of office will continue after the meeting.

The primary limit policy is insured through the Financial Institution Risk Retention Group and the excess limit policy is insured through the Federal Insurance Company (a member of the Chubb Group). The Corporation also has proposed a stock option plan for non-employee directors. This plan is subject to the approval of shareholders and is described below under the heading "Proposal For Approval of a Stock Option Plan For Non-Employee Directors." 9 14 RETIREMENT PLAN FOR DIRECTORS The Corporation maintains a retirement plan for non-employee directors who have served at least five years on the Board of Directors. The plan provides for the accrual of one month of retirement income credit for each month of service up to a maximum of one hundred twenty months. An eligible director is entitled to receive a monthly retirement benefit equal to one-twelfth of the annual retainer fee in effect for directors on the date of the director's retirement. Benefits are payable for the number of months the director has accrued retirement income credit, but do not extend beyond the director's death. Benefits become payable when the director reaches age 65 or retires from the board, whichever occurs later. Payments may commence prior to the director's 65th birthday if he or she retires from the board due to illness or disability. For the purpose of determining retirement income, credit is granted for service on the Board of Directors of the Corporation and Manufacturers National Corporation.

All loans and commitments were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons not affiliated with the Corporation or its subsidiaries, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features. All loan transactions presently in effect with any incumbent director, nominee, executive officer or related entity are current as of this date.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR No awards were made to the named executive officers during the last fiscal year under any long-term incentive plan, as defined by the Commission. 19 24 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN BENEFITS The Corporation maintains the Comerica Incorporated Retirement Plan (1994 Amendment and Restatement), a defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan"). The Pension Plan is a consolidation of the former Manufacturers National Corporation Pension Plan (the "Manufacturers Plan") and the Comerica Incorporated Retirement Plan (the "Comerica Plan"). Participants who retire under the Pension Plan receive a pension based on a formula which takes into consideration final average compensation and years of service credited in 1994 and later years. Former participants of the Comerica Plan and the Manufacturers Plan also receive a past service pension for service credited prior to 1994 under either plan. Table I below provides estimates of the amounts payable as annual pensions using various levels of final average compensation and years of service credited in 1994 and later years. The amounts shown in Table I have been computed without applying the limitations that apply to pensions under qualified plans. Those limitations are discussed below.

The Pension Plan is a tax qualified plan. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"), the maximum annual pension that may be paid under a qualified plan to any participant, including any named executive officer, is $120,000. The maximum annual compensation of any participant which may be taken into account in computing a pension under a qualified plan is $150,000. The portion of the annual pensions reflected in the foregoing tables which exceeds the amount payable under a qualified plan to any participant, including any named executive officer, will be paid under a nonqualified plan maintained by the Corporation. The estimated years of service credited under the Pension Plan for each of the named executive officers are as follows: Eugene A. Miller, 35 years; Michael T. Monahan, 33 years; John D. Lewis, 24 years; Paul H. Martzowka, 31 years; and Richard A. Collister, 2 years. The years of service credited to Messrs. Miller, Lewis and Collister include the following years of service credited under the Comerica Plan for which a past service pension is payable under the Pension Plan: Mr. Miller, 35 years; Mr. Lewis, 23 years; and Mr. Collister, 1 year. The years of service credited to Messrs. Monahan and Martzowka include the following years of service credited under the Manufacturers Plan for which a past service pension is payable under the Pension Plan: Mr. Monahan, 32 years; and Mr. Martzowka, 30 years. Under the Pension Plan, the normal form of pension payable to a participant who is unmarried at the time he or she retires is a straight life annuity, the annual amounts of which are listed in the tables above. The normal form of pension payable to a participant who is married at the time he or she retires is a joint and 50% survivor annuity, the amount of which is actuarially equivalent to the straight life annuity. The pension amounts appearing in the Pension Plan Tables are not reduced by any social security benefit which may be payable to the participant and assume that retirement will occur at age 65. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS JOHN D. LEWIS is a party to a management continuation agreement with the Corporation. The agreement expires on December 31, 1995. The agreement provides that Mr. Lewis is entitled to receive the following severance benefits if his employment is terminated by the Corporation without cause or he resigns for good reason during the term of the agreement after a change in control of the Corporation: (1) an amount equal to 2.99 times his annual base salary; (2) the amount of any earned but unpaid incentive compensation plus a pro rata portion of any contingent incentive compensation calculated by assuming that target performances were achieved; (3) accelerated vesting of any unexercised stock options; (4) an amount equal to the spread on his unexercised stock options; (5) payment of any legal fees and expenses incurred by him as the result of the 22 27 termination of his employment; and (6) continuation of life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits for 24 months from the date of termination, unless he becomes eligible to receive comparable benefits during the 24 month period. If a cash severance payment or other amounts to be paid to Mr. Lewis under the agreement will not be deductible by the Corporation pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the cash severance payment will be reduced to the amount necessary to preserve the deductibility of the aggregate amounts payable to Mr. Lewis under the agreement. MICHAEL T. MONAHAN AND PAUL H. MARTZOWKA participate in the Manufacturers National Corporation Key Employee Retention Plan which was assumed by the Corporation when it merged with Manufacturers National Corporation. This plan provides severance benefits to each participant if his employment is terminated without cause by the Corporation or he voluntarily resigns from the Corporation prior to July 1, 1995. If either Mr. Monahan or Mr. Martzowka becomes entitled to receive severance benefits under the retention plan, he can receive: (1) an amount equal to three times his annual base salary at the time of termination; (2) an amount equal to three times his average annual incentive compensation for the three year period prior to the termination of his employment; (3) an amount equal to the spread on his unexercised stock options; (4) an amount equal to the present value of the amounts he would receive under the Corporation's pension plans assuming three additional years of service and compensation; (5) an amount equal to his unpaid base salary and accrued vacation through the date of termination; (6) continuation of his life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits for three years after his employment terminates, unless he becomes eligible to receive similar benefits from another employer during the three year period; and (7) under certain conditions, medical benefits for life. If any severance benefits or other benefits to be paid to Mr. Monahan or Mr. Martzowka under the plan would result in an excise tax to him under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the severance benefits will be limited by the amount necessary to avoid the excise tax if this results in a greater net benefit to him. Mr. Monahan and Mr. Martzowka also may elect to receive the same benefits provided to Mr. Lewis under the management continuation agreement described above in lieu of the benefits they would receive under the retention plan. The retention plan expires on July 1, 1995. Mr. Martzowka has advised the Corporation that he intends to retire on June 30, 1995. When this occurs, Mr. Martzowka will be entitled to receive the foregoing benefits. EUGENE A. MILLER is a party to an employment agreement with the Corporation. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Miller will serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation through June 30, 1997. Commencing July 1, 1997, the term of the agreement will be extended automatically every two years until Mr. Miller's 65th birthday unless a majority of the directors of the Corporation vote against an extension. For the duration of the agreement, Mr. Miller will be nominated by the Corporation to serve on its Board of Directors. 23 28 During the term of his employment agreement, Mr. Miller will be paid a base salary and will be eligible for annual bonus payments in amounts determined by the Compensation Committee commensurate with his position and performance. He also will be eligible for option grants and restricted stock awards under the Corporation's Long-Term Incentive Plan. These grants and awards also will be commensurate with his position and performance. Mr. Miller also will be eligible to participate in all of the Corporation's executive compensation plans for senior executives which are in effect during the term of the employment agreement and in any employee benefit plans which the Corporation maintains during this period. Mr. Miller's overall compensation, including benefits, will be reviewed on an annual basis and will be increased, if necessary, to maintain his compensation and benefits at a level commensurate with that of other similarly situated executives in comparable companies. If the Corporation terminates Mr. Miller's employment without cause, or if Mr. Miller resigns for good reason or the Corporation causes Mr. Miller's employment agreement to expire prior to his 65th birthday, Mr. Miller will receive the following principal benefits: (1) an amount equal to three times his annual base salary, which will be paid in quarterly installments over a three year period; (2) an amount equal to his average annual bonus during the three year period prior to the termination of his employment, which also will be paid in quarterly installments over a three year period; (3) accelerated vesting of any unexercised stock options; (4) early lapse of restrictions on previously awarded shares of restricted stock; (5) continuation of health and accident insurance coverages for Mr. Miller and his wife for their lifetimes unless Mr. Miller receives comparable coverages from another source; (6) continuation of his life insurance coverage for three years; and (7) commencing at the end of the three year payment period referred to above, a payment in the form elected by Mr. Miller under the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan and excess benefit plan, in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the retirement benefits Mr. Miller would receive under the plans if he continued to receive service credit until his 65th birthday, over (b) the retirement benefits he actually accrued under the plans. If Mr. Miller's employment is terminated less than three years before his 65th birthday, the amount payable in connection with his salary will be pro rated for the time period remaining until he reaches age 65. If Mr. Miller's employment is terminated for any of the reasons referred to above, the employment agreement also provides that the Corporation will use its best efforts, subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors, to nominate Mr. Miller as a director for the remainder of his life or until he reaches the mandatory retirement age for members of the board. If any payment to Mr. Miller under the employment agreement is subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, Mr. Miller will receive an additional payment so that the amount he receives equals the amount he would receive under the agreement if an excise tax was not imposed. 24 29 The following Compensation Committee Report and Performance Graph will not be incorporated by reference into any of the Corporation's previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews all aspects of the Corporation's compensation programs for executive officers, including the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, determines appropriate levels of compensation for the Corporation's President, Vice Chairman and all Executive Vice Presidents based on the recommendations of management, and determines an appropriate level of compensation for Eugene A. Miller, the Corporation's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. The committee also administers the Corporation's long-term incentive plan. All the members of the committee are non-employee directors. COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY The Corporation's compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain superior executive talent. It emphasizes performance-based compensation and encourages long-term strategic decision making. The principal components of the executive compensation program are base salaries, annual management incentive awards and a long-term stock incentive plan. In reviewing total compensation levels for all executive officers, including Mr. Miller and the other named executive officers, the committee evaluates: (1) the Corporation's performance in relation to internally established performance goals which are discussed below; (2) the Corporation's performance in relation to the fifty largest bank holding companies in the United States (the "performance peer group"); and (3) compensation levels at a selected group of eighteen super-regional bank holding companies located primarily in the Midwest (the "compensation peer group"). The fifty largest bank holding companies included in the performance peer group are substantially the same institutions as those included in the Keefe-50 Bank Index used below in the Corporation's performance graph, though there are some differences. In 1994, the committee reviewed the Corporation's executive compensation programs to determine if they were competitive with the compensation peer group. The committee used the services of an independent compensation consultant to assist in performing peer group analyses and reviewing compensation program alternatives. Based on these reviews and the judgment of the committee, modifications were made to the programs. 25 30 COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER The Corporation's Board of Directors relies on the Chief Executive Officer to provide effective leadership and execute a successful business plan for the entire organization. The committee establishes Mr. Miller's base salary, management incentive award, stock option grants and restricted stock awards in amounts commensurate with his performance and position, in accordance with the Corporation's compensation philosophy described above and in accordance with the terms of Mr. Miller's employment agreement discussed in this Proxy Statement under the heading "Employment Contracts and Severance Agreements". BASE SALARIES In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Corporation conducted a review of the competitiveness of the executive compensation program. Based on this review, it was determined that the Corporation's base salaries for executive officers were at or above the median base salaries of the compensation peer group with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman whose base salaries were approximately eight percent below the median. In 1994, the committee approved the recommendations of management to freeze the base salaries of four of the named executive officers including Mr. Miller because of the desire to achieve expense targets and because the Corporation's return on equity in 1993 was below median in relation to the performance peer group. The Vice Chairman assumed additional responsibilities and received a base salary increase in 1994 which brought his base salary closer to the median base salary of the compensation peer group. ANNUAL MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM The committee members believe that return on equity is a key measure of corporate performance. Therefore, the Annual Management Incentive Program for executive officers is driven by the Corporation's return on equity in relation to the performance peer group and in relation to return on equity targets which are approved annually by the committee. For 1994, the payment of incentive awards was based on the Corporation achieving a minimum return on equity of twelve percent. Maximum incentive awards become payable when the Corporation achieves a return on equity of eighteen percent. These internal targets were established by the committee prior to the beginning of the year. Upon determination of the Corporation's performance in relation to these targets, the committee established a pool of awards for distribution under the incentive program. The distribution of individual awards to Mr. Miller and the other participants in the program is based on corporate performance, individual performance and individual levels of responsibility within the Corporation. Mr. Miller's award under the program also is subject to the terms of his employment agreement. 26 31 As part of the overall competitive review of the compensation program for executive officers, an evaluation of incentive pay levels of the performance peer group was conducted. Based on the findings and the committee's judgment, it was determined that the Corporation's incentive formula did not provide competitive award opportunities for superior return on equity performance. Superior return on equity performance is defined as ranking within the top two quintiles of the performance peer group. To provide incentive awards that are more comparable to those of the compensation peer group when superior return on equity performance is achieved, modifications were made to the incentive formula. The 1994 annual management incentive awards for Mr. Miller and the other named executive officers were based on the return on equity of 16.74% achieved in 1994 which placed the Corporation in the second highest quintile of the performance peer group at ranking number eighteen. Mr. Miller's 1994 award under the Annual Management Incentive Program reflects the Corporation's second highest quintile return on equity performance. This award, combined with Mr. Miller's base salary, provided him with a total 1994 cash compensation that was slightly above the median for the compensation peer group. To reward sustained superior annual performance over a three year period, the committee approved management's recommendation to add a feature to the Annual Management Incentive Program. An additional award will be paid if the Corporation's average return on equity for the most recent three year period ranks among the top twenty in the performance peer group. Fifty percent of any additional award will be paid in the form of a stock grant under the Corporation's Long-Term Incentive Plan and fifty percent will be paid in cash. A non-transferability restriction will be attached to any stock grant which will preclude the recipient from disposing of the stock prior to retirement or other termination of employment. The stock portion of the additional award serves to further align the interests of the Corporation's senior officers with those of the shareholders. The first year that an executive officer can receive an incremental award is 1997. STOCK AWARDS The Corporation's Long-Term Incentive Plan provides stock awards for key officers including all of its named executive officers. The Plan's objective is to align the interests of the Corporation's key officers with those of its shareholders. Awards in 1994 consisted principally of stock option grants with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Corporation's common stock on the grant date. Because executives receive value from stock option awards only in the event of stock price appreciation, the committee believes stock options were a strong incentive to improve financial performance. Individual awards in 1994 27 32 were based on corporate performance and on individual levels of responsibility and contributions to the Corporation. Grants of stock options to Mr. Miller and the other executive officers are a percentage of their base salaries which is determined by the committee based on: (1) the Corporation's overall performance and (2) the individual performance of each officer. No restricted stock awards were made to Mr. Miller or the other named executive officers in 1994. STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation implemented stock ownership guidelines which encourage senior officers to own a significant number of shares of the Corporation's common stock. The senior officers have five years to achieve the targeted stock ownership levels. DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The committee's objective is to structure the Corporation's executive compensation programs to maximize the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the committee reserves the right in the exercise of its business judgment to establish appropriate compensation levels for executive officers that may exceed the limits on tax deductibility established under this section. Currently all executive officer compensation is deductible under Section 162(m). Mr. Miller's compensation does not exceed the deduction limits because his compensation is paid under an employment contract which was in existence prior to the passage of Section 162(m).

The purposes of the Plan are to promote the continued prosperity of the Corporation by aligning the long-term financial interests of non-employee directors of the Corporation and its affiliates with those of shareholders, to provide an additional incentive for these individuals to remain as directors of the 29 34 Corporation and its affiliates, and to provide a means through which the Corporation and its affiliates may attract qualified individuals to serve as directors. Shareholder approval of the Plan will enable the Corporation to remain competitive with other financial organizations that use stock-based compensation as part of their director compensation package and also will place the Plan in compliance with the requirements of applicable federal securities law. The full text of the Plan is included as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. The following is a summary of the material features of the Plan. After each annual meeting of shareholders, each member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or of any of its subsidiaries will be granted an option, pursuant to a formula in the Plan, to purchase 1,000 shares of the common stock of the Corporation. The Plan also authorizes the granting of options on a discretionary basis to non-employee directors of Comerica Bank and the Affiliated Banks (as defined in the Plan) who also are directors of the Corporation. Option grants under the Plan will be in addition to annual retainers, meeting fees and other compensation payable to non-employee directors in connection with their services as directors. The Corporation will not receive any consideration for granting options under the Plan other than the services to be provided by the directors who participate in the Plan. The Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors to be appointed by the board for this purpose or by the committee's designee. The formula grants to directors of the Corporation operate automatically and the committee will not have discretion with respect to matters such as the selection of directors to whom options will be granted, the timing of grants, the number of shares to become subject to each option grant, the exercise price of options, or the periods of time during which any option may be exercised. The committee will have discretion with respect to grants to directors of Comerica Bank and the Affiliated Banks if the committee chooses to make these grants. The total number of shares of common stock which may become subject to options granted under the Plan is 250,000 shares, subject to equitable adjustment upon the occurrence of events such as stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations. The plan will become effective upon approval of the shareholders and will remain in effect until all of the options are granted following the annual meeting of shareholders in the year 2004. The exercise price of each option will be the fair market value of each share of common stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. The exercise price is payable in full upon exercise of the option and may be paid in cash or by delivery of previously owned shares. The Plan also permits "cashless exercises". These generally involve a program through which option shares are delivered to a broker as collateral for a margin loan which is used to pay the exercise price. Alternatively, the broker may sell a portion of the shares received and use the proceeds from the sale to pay the exercise price. 30 35 The Plan committee or its designee may change the option price per share following a corporate reorganization or recapitalization so that the aggregate option price for all shares subject to each outstanding option prior to the change is equivalent to the aggregate option price for all shares or other securities into which option shares have been converted or which have been substituted for option shares. The term of each option will be ten years. Except in the event of the optionholder's death or a change in control of the Corporation (as defined in the Plan), options are not exercisable until one year after the date of the grant. Options are fully vested after one year. Unexercised options expire ten years after the grant date. So long as applicable securities laws contain nontransferability restrictions with respect to compensatory options, the options will not be transferable except at death or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) entered in connection with the divorce or legal separation of the optionholder. Options will be exercisable during a director's lifetime only by the director or his or her legal representative. Upon a director's retirement from the board or upon his or her disability or death or separation due to any other circumstance (other than resignation or removal for cause), the director's vested options will remain exercisable for one year or until the expiration of the original term of the options, whichever is earlier. If a director resigns from the board or is removed for cause, his or her vested options will remain exercisable for 90 days or until the expiration of the original term of the options, whichever is earlier. Upon the death of a director subsequent to his or her retirement, disability, resignation, removal or separation due to any other circumstance, the director's options may be exercised by his or her legal representative during the period remaining until the expiration of the options. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan at any time except that the formula provisions of the Plan relating to the number of options to be granted to directors of the Corporation, the timing of these grants, the exercise price of options subject to these grants, the periods during which these options may be exercised and the term of these options may not be amended more than once every six months other than to comply with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or the rules promulgated thereunder. In addition, the board may not make any amendment without shareholder approval if shareholder approval is required to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Rule 16b-3 currently requires shareholder approval of any amendment which would materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan or materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan. Finally, the Board of Directors may not make any amendment to the Plan which would result in the loss of the Rule 16b-3 exemption for options granted under the Plan. 31 36 The only eligible participants in the Plan are non-employee directors of the Corporation who will receive formula grants attributable to their service as directors of the Corporation and who may receive discretionary grants attributable to their service as directors of Comerica Bank and any Affiliated Bank. Presently, there are ten non-employee directors of the Corporation who are eligible to participate in the Plan, four of whom also serve as directors of the Affiliated Banks. If the Plan had been in existence in 1994, options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation would have been granted to non-employee directors of the Corporation under the formula provisions of the Plan. No basis exists to determine how many options would have been granted on a discretionary basis to non-employee directors of the Corporation who serve on the boards of the Affiliated Banks. Upon the exercise of an option, the optionee normally realizes and recognizes ordinary income to the extent the fair market value of the shares of common stock acquired (determined at the time of exercise) exceeds the exercise price. If the optionee is a Section 16(b) Insider, as defined under the Exchange Act (a person subject to the short-swing profit recovery provision of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act), so that disposal of the acquired shares for a period of time would be deemed a substantial risk of forfeiture under the Internal Revenue Code, the realization of compensation income may be deferred until the risk of forfeiture ceases to exist, unless the optionee elects to be taxed as of the date of exercise of the option. If the realization of compensation income is deferred, the amount of the income is measured by the difference between the exercise price and the market value of the shares on the date that the risk of forfeiture ceases to exist. The Corporation is entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to the amount taxable to the optionee in the year in which that amount is includable in the optionee's income. If any stock received upon the exercise of an option is later sold, any excess of the sale price over the optionee's basis in the stock is treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. If a quorum is present at the annual meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes represented and entitled to vote at the meeting is required for approval of the Plan. Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted to approve the Plan unless a shareholder specifies otherwise. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT Upon recommendation of the Audit and Legal Committee, the Board of Directors selected Ernst & Young LLP as independent accountant to audit the Corporation's financial statements for 1995. Ernst & Young also audited the Corporation's financial statements for 1994. Representatives of Ernst & Young will have an opportunity to make a statement at the annual meeting and will be available at the meeting to answer any questions asked by shareholders. 32 37 SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS Any proposal by a shareholder of the Corporation must be received by December 12, 1995 to be considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

If the number of shares then remaining available for the grant of Options under the Plan is not sufficient for each Non-Employee Director to be granted an Option for 1,000 shares (or the number of adjusted or substituted shares pursuant to Section 7), then each Non-Employee Director shall be granted an Option for a number of whole shares equal to the number of shares then remaining available divided by the number of Non-Employee Directors, disregarding any fractions of a share. B. Discretionary Grants. Any Non-Employee Director shall be eligible to receive whatever number of Options the Committee, in its sole discretion, chooses to grant to him or her from time to time, but shall not have a right to receive any such grants. SECTION 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO OPTION GRANTS. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: A. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price with respect to each share of Common Stock covered by the Option shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the date the Option is granted. B. Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for each Option shall be paid in full upon exercise and shall be payable in cash (including check, bank draft or money order); provided, however, that in lieu of cash, the individual exercising the Option may pay the Exercise Price, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Corporation shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option equal to the Exercise Price of the shares being purchased: except that (i) any portion of the Exercise Price representing a fraction of a share shall in any event be paid in cash, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock which have been held for less than six months may be delivered in payment of the Exercise Price of an Option. Delivery of shares may also be accomplished through the effective transfer to the Corporation of shares held by a broker or other agent. The Corporation will also cooperate with any individual exercising an Option who participates in a cashless exercise program of a broker or other agent under which all or part of the shares received upon exercise of the Option are sold through the broker or other agent or under which the broker or other agent makes a loan to such individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of the Option shall not be deemed A-5 43 to occur and no shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Corporation upon exercise of the Option until the Corporation has received payment of the Exercise Price in full. The date of exercise of an Option shall be determined under procedures established by the Committee, and as of the date of exercise the individual exercising the Option shall be considered for all purposes to be the owner of the shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised. Payment of the Exercise Price with shares shall not increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan as provided in Section 3. C. Term of Options and Vesting. No Option shall be exercisable during the first year of its term except in case of death as provided in Section 6.E. or upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation. Each Option shall be exercisable with respect to all of the shares subject thereto from and after the first anniversary of the date of its grant. Subject to the preceding sentences of this Section 6.C. and subject to Section 6.E. which provides for earlier termination of an Option under certain circumstances, each Option shall expire ten years after the date of grant. An Option, to the extent exercisable at any time, may be exercised in whole or in part. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Plan, in case any Change in Control of the Corporation occurs, all outstanding Options shall become immediately and fully exercisable whether or not otherwise exercisable by their terms. D. Restrictions on Transferability. No Option shall be transferable by the grantee otherwise than by will, or if the grantee dies intestate, by the laws of descent and distribution of the state of domicile of the grantee at the time of death or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. All Options shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the grantee only by the grantee or by the grantee's Legal Representative. These restrictions on transferability shall not apply to the extent such restrictions are not at the time required for the Plan to continue to meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or any successor Rule. E. Separation From Board Service. If a grantee ceases to be a director of the Corporation, Comerica Bank or any Affiliated Bank, any outstanding Options the grantee then holds shall be exercisable in accordance with the following provisions: 1. Retirement, Disability, Death or Other Separation. If the grantee's separation is due to his or her retirement, Disability, death or any other circumstance not covered in Section 6.E.2. below, any outstanding Option held by such grantee shall be exercisable by the grantee, or by his Legal Representative or Personal Representative, as the case may be (but only if exercisable by the grantee immediately prior to ceasing to be a director), at any time prior to the expiration date of such Option or within one year after the date the grantee ceases to be a director, whichever period is shorter; and A-6 44 2. Resignation or Removal for Cause. If the grantee's separation is due to his or her resignation or removal from office for Cause, any outstanding Option held by the grantee which is exercisable by the grantee immediately prior to his or her resignation or removal shall be exercisable by the grantee for 90 days following such resignation or removal (or by his or her Personal Representative or Legal Representative during the remainder of such 90-day period if he or she dies or becomes Disabled during such period), but not beyond the original term of such Option. An Option held by a grantee who has ceased to be a director of the Corporation, Comerica Bank or any Affiliated Bank shall expire at the end of the applicable exercise period, if any, specified in this Section 6.E. F. Option Agreements. All grants of Options shall be evidenced by an Agreement which shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by a representative of the Committee. G. Conditions Applicable to Grants of Options. The obligation of the Corporation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be subject to (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such shares, if deemed necessary or appropriate by counsel for the Corporation; (ii) the condition that any shares to be issued shall have been listed (or authorized for listing upon official notice of issuance) upon each stock exchange, if any, on which the Common Stock may then be listed; and (iii) all other applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders which may then be in effect. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 and the other provisions of the Plan, any Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions and other terms and conditions, if any, as shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion and set forth in an Agreement; except that (i) with respect to automatic grants under Section 5.A. hereof, in no event shall the Committee or the Board have any power or authority which would cause the Plan to fail to be a plan described in Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii) (or old Rule 16b-3(b)(1)(iii) so long as such rule remains effective), or any successor Rule; and (ii) with respect to discretionary grants under Section 5.B. hereof, in no event shall any member of the Committee be other than a "disinterested person" under Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i) (or Rule 16b-3(b)(1)(ii) so long as such rule remains effective). Furthermore, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the 1934 Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. A-7 45 SECTION 7. ADJUSTMENT AND SUBSTITUTION OF SHARES. In the event any change occurs in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends, the number or kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Section 3, including shares covered by existing Options, shall be automatically adjusted to preserve the proportionate interests of the grantees in the Corporation as represented by their outstanding Options, and the proportionality of the share pool under the Plan in relation to the total number of shares outstanding. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Corporation or another corporation, whether through reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation, then there shall be substituted for each share of the Common Stock set forth in Section 3, including shares covered by existing Options, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be so changed or for which each such share shall become exchangeable. In case of any adjustment or substitution as provided for in the first two paragraphs of this Section 7, the aggregate Exercise Price for all shares subject to each then outstanding Option prior to such adjustment or substitution shall be the aggregate Exercise Price for all shares of stock or other securities (including any fraction) into which such shares shall have been converted or which shall have been substituted for such shares. Any new Exercise Price per share shall be carried to at least three decimal places with the last decimal place rounded upwards to the nearest whole number. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed in value by reason of any spin-off, split-off or split-up, or dividend in partial liquidation, dividend in property other than cash or extraordinary distribution to holders of Common Stock, the Committee shall make any adjustments to any then outstanding Option which it determines are equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of grantees which would otherwise result from any such transaction. No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 7 shall require the Corporation to issue or sell a fraction of a share or other security. Accordingly, all fractional shares or other securities which result from any such adjustment or substitution shall be eliminated and not carried forward to any subsequent adjustment or substitution. Except as provided in this Section 7, a grantee shall have no rights by reason of issuance by the Corporation of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. A-8 46 SECTION 8. EFFECT OF THE PLAN ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CORPORATION, ITS AFFILIATES AND SHAREHOLDERS. Nothing in the Plan, in any Option granted under the Plan, or in any Agreement shall confer any right to any person to continue as a director of the Corporation, Comerica Bank or any Affiliated Bank, or interfere in any way with the rights of the shareholders of the Corporation, the Board or the board of directors of Comerica Bank or any Affiliated Bank to elect and remove directors. SECTION 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The right to amend the Plan at any time and from time to time and the right to terminate the Plan at any time are hereby specifically reserved to the Board; provided, however, that no such termination shall result in the cancellation of any outstanding Options theretofore granted under the Plan; and provided further that no amendment of the Plan shall: (i) be made without shareholder approval if shareholder approval of the amendment is at the time required for Options granted under the Plan to directors of the Corporation, Comerica Bank or any Affiliated Bank to qualify for the exemption from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act provided by Rule 16b-3, or by any successor Rule, or by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed; (ii) amend more than once every six months the provisions of the Plan relating to grants under Section 5.A. of the Plan including the selection of the directors to whom Options are to be granted under Section 5.A., the timing of such grants, the number of shares which will become subject to any Option granted under Section 5.A., the Exercise Price of any Option granted under Section 5.A., the periods during which any Option granted under Section 5.A. may be exercised and the term of any such Option other than to comport with changes in the Code or ERISA, or the rules and regulations thereunder; or (iii) otherwise amend the Plan in any manner that would cause Options granted under the Plan to directors of the Corporation, Comerica Bank or any Affiliated Bank not to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3, or any successor Rule. No amendment or termination of the Plan shall, without the written consent of the holder of an Option theretofore granted under the Plan, adversely affect the rights of such holder with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph or in any other provision of the Plan or in any Agreement, the Board shall have the power to amend the Plan in any manner deemed necessary or advisable so that Options granted under the Plan qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule relating to exemption from Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act), and any such amendment shall, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, be applicable to any outstanding Options theretofore granted under the Plan notwithstanding any contrary provisions in any Agreement. In the event of any such amendment to the Plan, the holder of any Option outstanding under the Plan shall, upon request of the Committee and as a condition to the exercisability of such Option, execute a conforming amendment in the form prescribed by the A-9 47 Committee to the Agreement referred to in Section 6.F. within such reasonable time as the Committee shall specify in such request. SECTION 10. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a duly called and convened meeting of shareholders. If approval is obtained at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 1995, the Plan shall be effective on the date of the meeting and the first Options shall be granted on that date following the meeting. The last Options to be granted under the Plan shall be granted on the day of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation in the year 2004.
