Key Changes Impacts Opportunities Interest on Demand Deposits - Allows interest on commercial demand deposits (one year from enactment) Could lead to increased cost of commercial demand deposits, depending on interplay of interest, deposit credits, and service charges Could provide impetus for additional deposit generation Unlimited deposit insurance extension on noninterest-bearing accounts from 12/31/10 to 12/31/12 There will not be a separate assessment for unlimited deposit insurance coverage for this period Could provide impetus for additional deposit generation Deposit Insurance Changes definition of assessment base, increases funds minimum reserve ratio & permanently increases insurable level CMA expects 2011 FDIC insurance expense to be slightly lower than the 2010 expense ($62 million) New rule is consistent with CMAs focus on core deposit growth Derivatives Allows continued trading of foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives; energy, uncleared commodities and agriculture derivatives will move to a separate subsidiary Direct impact on client-driven energy derivatives business ($1 million annual revenue2) Allows for continued growth of CMAs core client-driven foreign exchange ($39 million annual revenue2) and interest rate ($7 million annual revenue2) derivatives business Interchange Fees - Limits debit card transaction processing fees that card issuers can charge merchants Based on the two options contemplated in the draft Fed rules, total debit card PIN ($9 million annual revenue2) and signature-based ($31 million annual revenue2) interchange fees in 2011 would be reduced by $13MM - $15MM Government card programs, such as the DirectExpress Social Security program, are exempt Trust Preferreds - Prohibits certain banks from including Trust Preferreds in Tier 1 Capital (phase out beginning 1/1/13) On October 1, 2010 fully redeemed all $500 million of Trust Preferred Securities at par 1Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; 2Based on 2010 full-year results Impact on Comerica is estimated and subject to final rulemaking. Comerica may be impacted by other changes due to the financial reform legislation. Timing of prescribed changes varies by rule.
