Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]



NOTE 6 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill:



	2016		2015
	(in thousands)
Goodwill	$	530,593	$	530,593
Non-amortizing intangible assets	963		963
Balance at end of year	$	531,556	$	531,556

All of the Corporation’s reporting units passed the 2016 goodwill impairment test, resulting in no goodwill impairment charges in 2016. All reporting units, with total allocated goodwill of $530.6 million, had fair values that exceeded net book values by approximately 62% in the aggregate.

The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s reporting units are subject to uncertainty, including future changes in fair values of banks in general and future operating results of reporting units, which could differ significantly from the assumptions used in the valuation of reporting units.

Non-amortizing intangible assets consist of trade name intangible assets.
