(1) For purposes of computing the ratios, earnings consist of income before income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on borrowings and long-term debt, including/excluding interest on deposits, preferred share dividends and accretion, and one-third of rental expense (which Park believes is representative of the interest factor).
 (2) On April 25, 2012, we repurchased from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) all of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, each without par value and having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), which we issued to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008. Prior to December 23, 2008, we had never issued any preferred shares and, since the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Shares, we have not issued any preferred shares. Preferred share dividends represent dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred Shares when the same were outstanding.
