Swanson, the Bank’s former Chief Executive Officer, and the consolidation and assumption of the titles and responsibilities of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank by Michael L. Wilson. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to include disclosure of the terms of the Bank’s General Release with Mr. Swanson.

As described in the Original Filing, concurrent with approval of the Plan and appointment of Mr. Wilson as President and CEO, the Bank’s board of directors terminated Mr. Swanson’s employment agreement with the Bank without cause effective as of June 30, 2016.
On July 8, 2016, the Bank and Mr. Swanson entered into a General Release (the “General Release”). The General Release provides for, among other terms: (i) a termination date of June 30, 2016 (the “Termination Date”); (ii) the applicable severance benefits provided under section 10(e) of Mr. Swanson’s employment agreement with the Bank, dated May 31, 2015, previously disclosed in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (filed March 21, 2016); (iii) an award under the Bank’s Integration Performance Incentive Plan, previously disclosed in the Bank’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 (filed November 12, 2014); (iv) additional age and service credits under the Bank’s non-qualified defined benefit pension plan; (v) the continuation of certain health benefits; and (vi) a release of all claims by Mr. Swanson.
Mr. Swanson is entitled to revoke his acceptance of the General Release up through July 14, 2016, which if revoked, will be of no further force or effect and Mr. Swanson will not be entitled to the severance benefits provided therein and described above.
