(the “Company”), in the third quarter of 2013, the Company received a notice that, based on an August 7, 2013 referral from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (“Federal Reserve”), Customers Bank was being investigated by the Department of Justice for potential non-compliance with certain provisions of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act and Regulation B with regard to the City of Philadelphia.
