ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

          

On October 31, 2012, the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") sold all of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "TARP Preferred Stock") that the Company issued to Treasury in 2009, in connection with the Company's participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. As a consequence of Treasury having disposed of the Company's TARP Preferred Stock and being repaid the financial assistance, the Company is no longer subject to many of the rules and regulations that were established in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
