Material Changes

Terms, Restrictions, and Risks
Holders of the Depositary Shares are entitled to proportional rights regarding dividends, voting, redemption, and liquidation.

Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the attached Certificate of Designation (Exhibit 3.1) for specific details on dividend reset dates and redemption options.
- Examine the Deposit Agreement (Exhibit 4.1) for administrative terms governing the Depositary Shares.
- Confirm the impact of the new preferred stock on the Company's overall leverage ratios and regulatory capital requirements.
