Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 27, 2015, Sterling Bancorp (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Filing”) attaching a copy of the Company’s earnings release for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as Exhibit 99.1 (“Earnings Release”). This amended report is being filed to remove pages 12 and 13 of the Earnings Release that were inadvertently included in the version of the Earnings Release attached to the Original Filing. These two pages were correctly omitted in the version of the Earnings Release that was issued by the Company through its customary newswire services. A copy of the corrected Earnings Release for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99.1. All other information in the attached Earnings Release is identical to that in the Original Filing.
The information contained in this amended report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is considered to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liability under that Section. The information in this Current Report amendment shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.
The release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company and includes a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
