The Alliance Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP" or the "Reporting Person") is an employee benefit plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), with individual accounts for the benefit of participating employees and their beneficiaries.  The ESOP's assets are held in trust by the trustees, currently Suzanne J. Ricci, Kathleen D. Lynch and Janet R. Bryan (the "Plan Trustees").  The number of shares listed as beneficially owned represents the number of shares of Common Stock held in the ESOP as of December 31, 2014.  As of December 31, 2014, 178,325 shares of Common Stock held by the ESOP were allocated to individual accounts established for participating employees and their beneficiaries and 134,734 shares of Common Stock were unallocated, for allocation in future years. In general, participating employees and their beneficiaries have the power and authority to direct the voting of shares of Common Stock allocated to their individual accounts through the Plan Trustees (who have shared voting and dispositive power over the allocated shares), subject to the fiduciary duties of the Plan Trustees and applicable law.  Any unallocated shares of Common Stock are generally voted by the Plan Trustees in same manner that the majority of the shares that have been allocated are actually voted, subject to the fiduciary duties of the Plan Trustees and applicable law.

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

Not applicable since the reporting entity owns more than 5% of the class.

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

Dividends on Common Stock allocated to the accounts of participating employees and their beneficiaries, to the extent paid in the form of additional securities, are added to their respective individual accounts.  Dividends on Common Stock allocated to the accounts of participating employees and their beneficiaries, to the extent paid in cash, are, at the direction of the Plan Administrator, either (i) credited to the respective individual accounts, or (ii) used to pay principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness incurred by the Reporting Person to acquire Common Stock.
