(a)

The par value of all shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $1.00 per share.

On May 2, 2013, the Company issued depositary shares representing an ownership interest in 20,000 shares of Series H Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock”). The Series H Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or other obligation of the Company. Dividends, if declared, will accrue and be payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate per annum equal to 5.15 percent. The Series H Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, on or after July 15, 2018. The Series H Preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole, but not in part, prior to July 15, 2018 within 90 days following an official administrative or judicial decision, amendment to, or change in the laws or regulations that would not allow the Company to treat the full liquidation value of the Series H Preferred Stock as Tier 1 capital for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve. In conjunction with the issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock, the Company redeemed at par value all shares of its Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock on June 3, 2013. The Company included an $8 million loss in its computation of earnings per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2013, which represents the stock issuance costs recorded in capital surplus upon the issuance of the Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock that were reclassified to retained earnings on the redemption date.
