Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
As previously reported, on March 17, 2006, the Bank’s board of directors selected R. David Rosato to fill the seat on the Bank’s board of directors that was vacated by Charles F. Frosch. Mr. Rosato’s membership on any committee of the Bank’s board of directors was not determined as of March 17, 2006. On April 20, 2006, Mr. Rosato was appointed to both the Audit Committee and the Finance Committee of the Bank’s board of directors.
In addition, as of May 19, 2006, the Bank’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Rosato is independent as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A of the Exchange Act, and that he is an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC Regulations. Mr. Rosato is not an auditor or accountant for the Bank, does not perform fieldwork and is not an employee of the Bank. In accordance with the SEC’s safe harbor relating to audit committee financial experts, a person designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for purposes of the federal securities laws. In addition, such a designation or identification does not impose on any such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than those imposed on such persons as a member of the Audit Committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification and does not affect the duties, obligations, or liabilities of any other member of the Audit Committee or board of directors.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
