Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 24, 2020, the Bank notified the Federal Deposit Insurance Company and the New York Department of Financial Services of its intention to close the following branches: Burnside Branch located at 66-96 East Burnside Ave., Bronx, NY 10453; Flushing Branch located at 70-23 Parsons Blvd., Flushing, NY 11365; Long Island City Branch located at 36-16/18 21st St., Long Island City, NY 11106; Sunset Park Branch located at 4502-4504 Fifth Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11220; Roosevelt Island Branch located at 619 Main St., New York, NY 10044. Wall Street Branch located at 52 Broadway, New York, NY 10004. On June 25, 2020 the impacted customers and employees were notified of the same. The affected branches are low traffic and the Bank expects to fully serve the affected customers through its remaining branch network and electronic services.

As a result of the branch closures, the Bank expects to realize approximately a $4.4 million reduction in annual operating expense as a result of the branch closures, which will not be fully realized until sometime in 2021. The Bank expects to take a charge of approximately $7.9 million related to the closures in the second and third quarter of 2020, with potential for smaller charges or recoveries in future quarters as leases are fully exited.

The branch closures and divestures are in the interest of operational efficiency and are part of the Bank’s disclosed strategic initiatives to improve the performance and overall condition of the Bank.
