From time to time, various members of the PL Capital Group may purchase Common Stock on margin provided by BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (“BNP Paribas”) on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group.  Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin.  Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers.  As of the date of this filing, no members of the PL Capital Group have margin from BNP Paribas, or other loans outstanding secured by Common Stock.
 
The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Fund to acquire the 265,865 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $3,253,647.  Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.
 
The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Strategic to acquire the 158,258 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $2,071,379.  Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Strategic’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.
 
The amount of funds expended by Focused Fund to acquire the 57,245 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $710,727.  Such funds were provided from Focused Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.
 
The amount of funds expended by Goodbody/PL LP to acquire the 79,059 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $941,805.  Such funds were provided from Goodbody/PL LP’s available capital and from time to time by margin loans provided by BNP Paribas.
 
The amount of funds expended by the PL Capital Pension Plan to acquire the 4,000 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $48,228.  Such funds were provided from the Plan’s available capital.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

This is the PL Capital Group’s initial Schedule 13D filing.  In the aggregate, the PL Capital Group owns 8.0% of the Company’s Common Stock, based upon the Company’s aggregate outstanding shares as of March 19, 2013.  The PL Capital Group acquired the Common Stock because it believes the Common Stock is undervalued, and it intends to monitor the performance of the Company and the actions of the Company’s management and board.  Where necessary or desirable, the PL Capital Group will assert its stockholder rights.

Item 5.
