Material Changes
- Executive Promotion: Jon R. Ansari was promoted from Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, to Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer.

- Change in Control Agreement (Stanley): A one-year change-in-control agreement was executed with Brian Stanley, Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer.
