ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Formerly known as Queens County Bancorp, Inc., New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand-alone basis, the Parent Company or, collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) was organized under Delaware law on July20, 1993 and is the holding company for New York Community Bank and New York Commercial Bank (hereinafter referred to as the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank, respectively, and collectively as the Banks). In addition, for the purpose of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank refer not only to the respective banks but also to their respective subsidiaries. The Community Bank is the primary banking subsidiary of the Company. Founded on April14, 1859 and formerly known as Queens County Savings Bank, the Community Bank converted from a state-chartered mutual savings bank to the capital stock form of ownership on November23, 1993, at which date the Company issued its initial offering of common stock (par value: $0.01 per share) at a price of $25.00 per share. The Commercial Bank was established on December30, 2005. Reflecting nine stock splits, the Companys initial offering price adjusts to $0.93 per share. All share and per share data presented in this report have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock splits. The Company changed its name to New York Community Bancorp, Inc. on November21, 2000 in anticipation of completing the first of eight business combinations that expanded its footprint well beyond Queens County to encompass all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County in New York, and seven counties in the northern and central parts of New Jersey. In 2009, the Company expanded beyond this region to south Florida, northeast Ohio, and central Arizona through its Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-assisted acquisition of certain assets and its assumption of certain liabilities of AmTrust Bank. Reflecting this strategy of growth through acquisitions, the Community Bank currently operates 241 branches, four of which operate directly under the Community Bank name. The remaining 237 branches operate through seven divisional banksQueens County Savings Bank, Roslyn Savings Bank, Richmond County Savings Bank, and Roosevelt Savings Bank (in New York), Garden State Community Bank in New Jersey, AmTrust Bank in Florida and Arizona, and Ohio Savings Bank in Ohio. The Commercial Bank currently operates 35 branches in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester County, and Long Island, including 18 branches that operate under the name Atlantic Bank. Basis of Presentation The following is a description of the significant accounting and reporting policies that the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries follow in preparing and presenting their consolidated financial statements, which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and lia |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents For cash flow reporting purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and money market investments, which include federal funds sold with original maturities of less than 90 days. At December31, 2009 and 2008, the Companys cash equivalents included $2.5 billion (including $2.3 billion at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) and $8.3 million, respectively, of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, as well as federal funds sold of $3.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively. In accordance with the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Company was required to maintain reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York of $93.4 million and $84.2 million at December31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in the form of vault cash and deposits. The Company was in compliance with this requirement at both dates. Securities Held to Maturity and Available for Sale The Companys securities portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (together, mortgage-related securities) and debt and equity securities (together, other securities). Securities that are classified as available for sale are carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders equity. Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The fair values of the Companys securities are affected by changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and market illiquidity. In general, as interest rates rise, the fair value of fixed-rate securities will decline; as interest rates fall, the fair value of fixed-rate securities will increase. The Company conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if the decline in the fair value of any security below its carrying value is other than temporary. Prior to April1, 2009, when the decline in fair value below an investments carrying amount was deemed to be other than temporary, the investment was written down to fair value and the full amount of the write-down was charged to the income statement. A decline in fair value of an investment was deemed to be other than temporary if we did not expect to recover the carrying amount of the investment or we did not have the intent and ability to hold the investment to the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost. Effective April1, 2009, with the adoption of revised OTTI accounting requirements issued by the FASB, unless we have the intent to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a security, an OTTI is recognized as a realized loss on the income statement to the extent that the decline in fair value is credit-related. The decline in value attributable to factors other than credit is charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax (AOCL). If there is a decline in fair value of a security below its carrying am |

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS | NOTE 3: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On December4, 2009, the Community Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of AmTrust Bank (AmTrust) from the FDIC in an FDIC-assisted transaction (the AmTrust acquisition). Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, AmTrust was a savings bank that operated 29 branch locations in Ohio, 25 locations in Florida, and 12 locations in Arizona. The purpose of the AmTrust acquisition was to expand the Companys footprint into new markets, and to enhance its funding mix with the acquisition of low-cost core deposits. As part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement entered into by the Community Bank with the FDIC, the Community Bank entered into loss sharing agreements, whereby the FDIC will cover a substantial portion of any future losses on loans. The acquired loans that are subject to the loss sharing agreements are collectively referred to as covered loans.Under the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC is obligated to reimburse the Community Bank for 80% of losses of up to $907 million with respect to the covered loans, and 95% of losses in excess of $907 million with respect to the covered loans. In addition, the Community Bank will reimburse the FDIC for 80% of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid the Community Bank 80% reimbursement, and for 95% of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid the Community Bank 95% reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements. The expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements were recorded as an indemnification asset (the aforementioned FDIC loss share receivable) at an estimated fair value of $740.0 million on the acquisition date. The loss sharing agreements are subject to the Company following certain servicing procedures, as specified in the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. Furthermore, the Community Bank has agreed to pay to the FDIC, on January18, 2020 (the True-Up Measurement Date), half of the amount, if positive, calculated as (1)$181,400,000 minus (2)the sum of (a)25% of the asset discount bid made in connection with the AmTrust acquisition; (b)25% of the Cumulative Shared-Loss Payments (as defined below); and (c)the sum of the period servicing amounts for every consecutive twelve-month period prior to, and ending on, the True-Up Measurement Date in respect of each of the shared loss agreements during which the applicable shared loss agreement is in effect (with such period servicing amounts to equal, for any twelve-month period with respect to which each of the shared loss agreements during which such shared loss agreement is in effect, the product of the simple average of the principal amount of shared loss loans and shared loss assets at the beginning and end of such period and 1%). For the purposes of the above calculation, Cumulative Shared-Loss Payments means (i)the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to the Community Bank under the shared-loss agreements minus (ii)the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to the FDIC under the shared-loss agreements. The above reimbursable losses and recoveries are based on the book value of the relevant loans as |

Non-covered loans refers to all loans in the Companys loan portfolio excluding covered loans. Non-covered Loans The Company is primarily a multi-family mortgage lender, with a significant portion of its loan portfolio collateralized by non-luxury apartment buildings in New York City that are largely rent-controlled and/or rent-stabilized. At December31, 2009, approximately 75% of the multi-family loan portfolio was secured by properties in New York City, with Manhattan accounting for approximately 32% of New York Citys share. The Company also originates commercial real estate (CRE) loans, primarily in New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey, and, to a lesser extent, acquisition, development, and construction (ADC) loans and commercial and industrial (CI) loans. ADC loans are primarily originated for multi-family and residential tract projects in New York City and Long Island, while CI loans are made to small and mid-size businesses, on both a secured and unsecured basis, for working capital, business expansion, and the purchase of machinery and equipment. Payments on multi-family and CRE loans generally depend on the income produced by the underlying properties which, in turn, depends on their successful operation and management. Accordingly, the ability of the Companys borrowers to repay these loans may be impacted by adverse conditions in the local real estate market and the local economy. While the Company generally requires that such loans be qualified on the basis of the collateral propertys current cash flows, appraised value, and d |

FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES | NOTE 9: FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES The following table summarizes the components of the Companys net deferred tax asset at December31, 2009 and 2008: December31, (in thousands) 2009 2008 Deferred Tax Assets: Allowance for loan losses $ 49,758 $ 37,373 Compensation and related benefit obligations 22,068 24,082 Acquisition accounting and fair value adjustments on securities (including OTTI) 34,342 68,431 Acquisition accounting and fair value adjustments on loans (including the FDIC loss share receivable) 16,454 Net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards 821 15,808 Acquisition accounting adjustments on borrowed funds 35,125 1,107 Restructuring and retirement of borrowed funds 50,781 Acquisition-related costs 1,771 2,293 Other 15,538 8,581 Gross deferred tax assets 210,204 174,129 Valuation allowance (1,367 ) Deferred tax asset after valuation allowance 210,204 172,762 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Amortizable intangibles (31,552 ) (23,664 ) Acquisition accounting and fair value adjustments on loans (including the FDIC loss share receivable) (17,689 ) Premises and equipment (12,923 ) (9,644 ) Prepaid pension cost (6,578 ) (1,970 ) Other (13,692 ) (2,738 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities (82,434 ) (38,016 ) Net deferred tax asset $ 127,770 $ 134,746 The net deferred tax asset, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Condition at December31, 2009 and 2008, represents the anticipated federal, state, and local tax benefits that are expected to be realized in future years upon the utilization of the underlying tax attributes comprising this balance. A $1.4 million valuation allowance at December31, 2008 that related to the potential utilization of New Jersey net operating losses and deductible temporary differences was no longer necessary at December31, 2009. The recognition of taxable income subject to New Jersey tax in 2009 and the anticipated growth resulting from the AmTrust acquisition were factors in this determination. The Company has determined that at December31, 2009, all deductible temporary differences are more likely than not to provide a benefit in reducing future federal, state and local tax liabilities, as applicable. The following table summarizes the Companys income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December31, 2009, 2008, and 2007: December31, (in thousands) 2009 2008 2007 Federal current $ 193,108 $ 4,108 $ 94,784 State and local current 16,028 3,987 9,985 Total current 209,136 8,095 104,769 Federal deferred (30,482 ) (8,981 ) 26,757 State and local deferred 15,849 (23,204 ) |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Pledged Assets At December31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company had pledged mortgage-related securities held to maturity with carrying values of $2.5 billion and $3.1 billion. The Company also had pledged other securities held to maturity with carrying values of $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion at the corresponding dates. In addition, the Company had pledged available-for-sale mortgage-related securities and other securities with respective carrying values of $602.2 million and $302.0 million at December31, 2009, and $811.2 million and $78.8 million at December31, 2008. The pledged securities primarily serve as collateral for the Companys repurchase agreements. Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit At December31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had commitments to originate loans, including unadvanced lines of credit, of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The majority of the outstanding loan commitments at December31, 2009 and 2008 had adjustable interest rates, and were expected to close within 90 days of the respective dates. The following table sets forth the Companys off-balance-sheet commitments relating to outstanding loan commitments and letters of credit at December31, 2009: (in thousands) Mortgage Loan Commitments: Multi-family $ 232,093 Commercial real estate 50,311 Acquisition, development, and construction 173,091 One- to four-family held for sale 474,411 Total mortgage loan commitments $ 929,906 Other loan commitments 517,601 Total loan commitments $ 1,447,507 Commercial, performance, and financial stand-by letters of credit 47,976 Total commitments $ 1,495,483 Lease and License Commitments At December31, 2009, the Company was obligated under various non-cancelable operating lease and license agreements with renewal options on properties used primarily for branch operations. The Company currently expects to renew such agreements upon their expiration in the normal course of business. The agreements contain periodic escalation clauses that provide for increases in the annual rent, commencing at various times during the lives of the agreements, which are primarily based on increases in real estate taxes and cost-of-living indices. The projected minimum annual rental commitments under these agreements, exclusive of taxes and other charges, are summarized as follows: (in thousands) 2010 $ 27,889 2011 25,847 2012 23,902 2013 20,775 2014 18,061 2015 and thereafter 71,654 Total minimum future rentals $ 188,128 The Company did not immediately acquire or lease the real estate, banking facilities, furniture, fixtures, or equipment of AmTrust as part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. However, the Community Bank has the option to purchase or lease these items from the FDIC. The terms of these options expire 170 days after December4, 2009, unless extended by the FDIC.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS | NOTE 11: INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested for impairment, rather than amortized, at the reporting unit level, at least once a year. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows: December31, (in thousands) 2009 2008 Balance at beginning of year $ 2,436,401 $ 2,437,404 Acquisition accounting adjustments (1,003 ) Balance at end of year $ 2,436,401 $ 2,436,401 CDI and Other Intangible Assets As previously noted, the Company has CDI stemming from its various business combinations with other banks and thrifts. CDI is a measure of the value of checking and savings deposits acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the CDI stemming from any given business combination is based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding, relative to an alternative source of funding. CDI is amortized over the estimated useful lives of the existing deposit relationships acquired, but does not exceed 10 years. The Company evaluates such identifiable intangibles for impairment when an indication of impairment exists. No impairment charges were required to be recorded in 2009, 2008, or 2007. If an impairment loss is determined to exist in the future, the loss will be reflected as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the period in which such impairment is identified. The Company also had MSRs of $10.6 million at December31, 2009. MSRs are included, together with other identifiable intangible assets, in other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Condition at December31, 2009 and 2008. The Company has two classes of MSRs for which it separately manages the economic risk: residential and securitized. Residential MSRs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of non-interest income each period. The Company uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement-effect of changes in fair value, due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, of its residential MSRs. MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future cash flows. The model incorporates various assumptions including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rates, refinance rates, servicing costs, and ancillary income. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions in the model to reflect market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the MSR asset. The value of MSRs is significantly affected by mortgage interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence mortgage loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of MSRs declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage-refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of |

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS | NOTE 12: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Retirement Plans On April1, 2002, three separate pension plans for employees of the former Queens County Savings Bank, the former CFS Bank, and the former Richmond County Savings Bank were merged together and renamed the New York Community Bancorp Retirement Plan (the New York Community Plan). The pension plan for employees of the former Roslyn Savings Bank was merged into the New York Community Plan on September30, 2004. The pension plan for employees of the former Atlantic Bank of New York (Atlantic Bank) was merged into the New York Community Plan on March31, 2008. The New York Community Plan and the former Atlantic Bank Retirement Plan (collectively, the Plans) are presented on a consolidated basis for 2007 in the disclosures that follow, unless otherwise noted. The New York Community Plan covers substantially all employees who had attained minimum age, service, and employment status requirements prior to the date when the individual plans were frozen by the banks of origin. Once frozen, the plans ceased to accrue additional benefits, service, and compensation factors, and became closed to employees who would otherwise have met eligibility requirements after the freeze date. In connection with the acquisition of Atlantic Bank, the Company froze the Atlantic Bank Retirement Plan (the Atlantic Plan) on April28, 2006. All plans are subject to the provisions of ERISA. The following tables set forth certain information regarding the New York Community Plan, based on the measurement date indicated: (in thousands) December31,2009 December31,2008 Change in Benefit Obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 109,705 $ 106,000 Adjustment for measurement date change 1,604 Interest cost 6,444 6,414 Actuarial gain 1,365 4,158 Annuity payments (5,743 ) (7,088 ) Settlements (3,072 ) (1,383 ) Benefit obligation at end of year $ 108,699 $ 109,705 Change in Plan Assets: Fair value of assets at beginning of year $ 117,847 $ 134,439 Actual return (loss) on plan assets 21,881 (47,281 ) Contributions 39,160 Annuity payments (5,743 ) (7,088 ) Settlements (3,072 ) (1,383 ) Fair value of assets at end of year $ 130,913 $ 117,847 Funded status (included in other assets) $ 22,214 $ 8,142 Changes recognized in other comprehensive income for the year ended December31: Adjustment for measurement date change $ $ (100 ) Amortization of prior service cost (202 ) (202 ) Amortization of actuarial gain (6,983 ) (196 ) Net actuarial (gain) loss arising during the year (10,213 ) 69,357 Total recognized in other comprehensive loss (income) for the year (pre-tax) $ (17,398 ) $ 68,859 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (pre-tax) not yet recognized in net periodic benefit co |

STOCK-RELATED BENEFIT PLANS | NOTE 13: STOCK-RELATED BENEFIT PLANS New York Community Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan At the time of the Community Banks conversion to stock form, the Company loaned $19.4 million to the New York Community Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP) to purchase 18,583,440 shares of the Companys common stock. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company loaned an additional $14.8 million to the ESOP for the purchase of 906,667 shares of the common stock that were sold in a secondary offering on May14, 2002. In 2002, the two loans were consolidated into a single loan which is being repaid at a fixed interest rate of 4.75% over a period of time not to exceed 30 years. The Community Bank is obligated to repay the loan by making periodic contributions. The obligation to make such contributions is reduced to the extent of any investment earnings realized on such contributions and any dividends paid on shares held in the unallocated ESOP share account. At December31, 2009 and 2008, the loan had outstanding balances of $886,000 and $1.8 million, respectively. As the loan is repaid, shares are released from a suspense account and allocated among participants on the basis of compensation, as described in the ESOP, in the year of allocation. The Community Bank made no contributions to the ESOP during 2009, 2008, or 2007. The dividends and investment income on ESOP shares that were used for debt service in 2009, 2008, and 2007 amounted to approximately $632,000, $1.0 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. All full-time employees who have attained 21 years of age and who have completed twelve consecutive months of credited service are eligible to participate in the ESOP, with benefits vesting on a seven-year basis, starting with 20% in the third year of employment and continuing in 20% increments in each successive year. Benefits are payable upon death, retirement, disability, or separation from service, and may be paid in stock. However, in the event of a change in control, as defined in the ESOP, any unvested portion of benefits shall vest immediately. In 2009, 2008, and 2007, the Company allocated 332,055; 346,497; and 482,764 shares, respectively, to participants in the ESOP. At December31, 2009, a total of 14,612,053 shares were held in the ESOP, including 299,248 shares with a market value of $4.3 million that were still available for future allocation. The Community Bank recognizes compensation expense for the ESOP based on the average market price of the Companys common stock during the year in which the allocation is made. For the years ended December31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the Company recorded ESOP-related compensation expense of $3.8 million, $5.8 million, and $8.6 million, respectively. Included in the 2007 amount was a special merger-related ESOP allocation expense of $2.2 million. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan In 1993, the Community Bank also established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), which provided additional unfunded, non-qualified benefits to certain participants in the ESOP in the form of Company common stock. The SERP was frozen in 1999. At both December31, 2009 and 2008, the |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 14: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS In 2008, the FASB issued a standard that, among other things, defined fair value, established a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The standard clarified that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received when selling an asset, or paid when transferring a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is thus a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are significant unobservable inputs that reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability. A financial instruments categorization within this valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables present assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December31, 2009 and 2008, and that were included in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Condition at that date: Fair Value Measurements at December31, 2009 Using (in thousands) QuotedPricesin Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Netting Adjustments(1) Total Fair Value Mortgage-related Securities Available for Sale: GSE certificates $ $ 271,808 $ $ $ 271,808 GSE CMOs 416,783 416,783 Private label CMOs 85,614 85,614 Total mortgage-related securities 774,205 774,205 Other Securities Available for Sale: GSE debentures 30,190 30,190 Corporate bonds 4,901 4,901 U.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 15: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Companys derivative financial instruments consist of financial forward and futures contracts, interest rate lock commitments, swaps, and options. These derivatives relate to mortgage banking operations, MSRs, and other risk management activities, and seek to mitigate or reduce the Companys exposure to losses from adverse changes in interest rates.These activities will vary in scope based on the level and volatility of interest rates, the type of assets held, and other changing market conditions. The Company held derivatives with a notional amount of $1.4 billion not designated as hedges at December31, 2009. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in current-period earnings. The following table sets forth information concerning the Companys derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2009: December31, 2009 (in thousands) Notional Fair Value (1) Amount Gain Loss Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges: Mortgage banking: Treasury options $ 115,000 $ 48 $ Eurodollar futures 300,000 261 Forward commitments to sell loans/mortgage-backed securities 552,000 15,741 Forward commitments to buy loans/mortgage-backed securities 50,000 1,831 Interest rate lock commitments 430,293 32 Total derivatives $ 1,447,293 $ 17,652 $ 261 (1) Derivatives in a net gain position are recorded as other assets and derivatives in a net loss position are recorded as other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Company uses various financial instruments, including derivatives, in connection with strategies to reduce price risk resulting from changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments may include interest rate lock commitments entered into with borrowers or correspondents/brokers to acquire conforming fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans that will be held for sale. Other derivative instruments include Treasury options and Eurodollar futures. Gains or losses due to changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized currently in earnings. The Company enters into forward contracts to sell fixed rate mortgage-backed securities to protect against changes in the prices of conforming fixed rate loans held for sale. Forward contracts are entered into with securities dealers in an amount related to the portion of interest rate lock commitments that are expected to close. The value of these forward sales contracts moves inversely with the value of the loans in response to changes in interest rates. To manage the price risk associated with fixed rate non-conforming mortgage loans, the Company generally enters into forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities or forward commitments to sell loans to approved investors. Short positions in Eurodollar futures contracts are used to manage price risk on adjustable rate mortgage loans held for sale. The Company also purchases put and call options to manage the risk associated with variations in the am |

These shares were issued in connection with the AmTrust acquisition on December4, 2009 and the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. On May23, 2008, the Company issued 17,871,000 shares of common stock in an offering that generated gross proceeds of $345.8 million and net proceeds (i.e., after issuance costs) of $339.2 million. Of the latter amount, $199.2 million served to offset the after-tax impact on stockholders equity of prepaying $4.0 billion of wholesale and other borrowings in the second quarter of 2008; the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The Banks are subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the New York State Banking Department and the FDIC (the Regulators). The Banks are also governed by numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, which established five categories of capital adequacy ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized.
