(To Prospectus Dated July 30, 2019)
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated
Depositary Shares, Each Representing a 1/100th Interest in a Share of
% Series F Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated is
offering depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of
% Series F Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share) (the
Preferred Stock). As a holder of depositary shares, you will be entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption, liquidation and other rights). You must exercise such
rights through Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc., jointly as the depositary for the shares of the Preferred Stock.
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable when, as and if authorized by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our
board of directors and declared by us out of legally available funds. From the issue date to, but excluding, October 15, 2030, dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue on a non-cumulative basis at a
rate of % per annum on the liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the fifteenth day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on October 15, 2020 and ending on
July 15, 2030. From and including July 15, 2030, for each reset period, dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue on a non-cumulative basis at the ten-year
treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date (as defined elsewhere in this prospectus supplement) plus % for each reset period on the liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, payable quarterly,
in arrears, on the fifteenth day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on October 15, 2030.
Dividends on the Preferred
Stock will be non-cumulative. If for any reason our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors does not authorize and we do not declare full cash dividends on the Preferred
Stock for a dividend period, we will have no obligation to pay any unpaid dividends for that period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board authorizes and we declare dividends on the Preferred Stock for any
subsequent dividend period. However, with certain limited exceptions, if we have not declared and paid or set aside for payment full dividends on the Preferred Stock for any dividend period, we may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem,
purchase or acquire, our common stock or other junior securities during the next succeeding dividend period.
The Preferred Stock is
perpetual and has no maturity date. We may redeem the Preferred Stock at our option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after July 15, 2030 or (ii) in whole but not in part, within 90 days
following a regulatory capital treatment event (as defined herein), in each case, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends and, in the case of a redemption
following a regulatory capital treatment event, the pro-rated portion of dividends, whether or not declared, for the dividend period in which such redemption occurs. If we redeem the Preferred Stock, the
depositary will redeem a proportional number of depositary shares. Neither the holders of Preferred Stock nor holders of depositary shares will have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Preferred Stock or the depositary shares.
Any redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to our receipt of any required prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other successor regulatory authority (the Federal Reserve).
The Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth under Description of the Preferred StockVoting Rights
on page S-18.

market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the depositary shares on any securities exchange or for inclusion of the depositary shares in any automated dealer quotation system.
