On April 17, 2008, People’s United Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. A copy of that press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

| Item 2.06. | Material Impairments. |
During the process of the Company’s business integration of the former Chittenden Corporation family of banks, and as part of its strategic planning for possible future acquisitions, the Company undertook a comprehensive review of its options relating to technology strategy. This re-assessment resulted in a determination by management that in order to achieve its acquisition integration goals, the Company should discontinue its current Connecticut core deposit system replacement project at this time.
As a result of this determination, the Company quantified, on April 14, 2008, an impairment charge of $20 million for assets related to this system replacement project. This charge is reflected in the Company’s reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
