These redemptions together resulted in a noncash charge for unamortized discounts of approximately $95 million in the third quarter of 2012. As these redemptions were announced prior to June 30, 2012, our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2012 reflected this second quarter announcement of the redemption of these securities.
