Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are routinely engaged in various litigation and other legal matters. These include defending against claims of improper loan, deposit account, and other banking practices, as well as trust and investment, intellectual property, contract, and other legal matters, and we have a number of unresolved lawsuits and open matters pending resolution. In addition, we are parties to litigation involving the collection of delinquent accounts, challenges to security interests in collateral, foreclosure lawsuits, and similar matters which are part of, or incidental to, our ordinary course of business. While the ultimate liability with respect to these matters and claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe that losses, damages, or liabilities, if any, and other amounts relating to pending matters are not likely to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Reserves are established for these various litigation and other legal matters, when appropriate under FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, based in part upon the advice of legal counsel.
