−Removed: Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected by adverse developments impacting the financial services industry, such as recent bank failures or concerns involving liquidity.
−Removed: Recent bank failures have created general uncertainty and generated concerns regarding the adequacy of liquidity of the banking sector generally, resulting in significant volatility in stock prices of publicly-traded bank holding companies.
−Removed: These developments appear to have negatively impacted some customers’ confidence in banks, prompting these customers to maintain their deposits with larger financial institutions, and additional bank failures or sales of distressed banks in anticipation of their failure could prolong customer concerns.
−Removed: In addition, competition for deposits has increased in recent periods, and the cost of funding, both for deposits and other sources of liquidity, has increased.
−Removed: If the concerns surrounding the banking sector persist, our businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.
+Added: There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
