Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
         On April 23, 2013, the Registrant issued a press release reporting preliminary financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. A copy of the press release, including unaudited financial information released as a part thereof, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.  The attached copy of the press release includes a correction to a clerical error in the original press release.  In the original press release, the first sentence of the second-to-last paragraph under the caption “Net Interest Income” erroneously stated that the decrease in net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 was 73 basis points.  The amount of the decrease, as correctly stated in the attached copy of the press release, was eight basis points.
