EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
 
This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-157803), filed on March 10, 2009, registering a warrant to purchase 521,888 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Warrant”), and the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrant, in each case for resale by selling securityholders.  The Registrant issued the Warrant and 38,237 shares of the Registrant’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, to the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) in February 2009 pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program created by Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.  On November 16, 2011, pursuant to a letter agreement with Treasury, the Registrant repurchased the Warrant, no portion of which had been previously exercised.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a Post-Effective Amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed by the Registrant to deregister the Warrant and the 521,888 shares of common stock underlying the Warrant.
