The September 10 meeting is quickly approaching. As of August 19, we had not received your proxy card. Trading volume in Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Common Stock has been unusually high since August 4, in part due to demand created by Huntington being added to the S&P 500 Index. AS THE RECORD HOLDER OF SHARES ON THE JULY 9, 1997 RECORD DATE, YOU STILL NEED TO VOTE THE SHARES, EVEN IF YOU SOLD SHARES SINCE THE RECORD DATE. If you have already voted your shares, we thank you.
