Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

Statement regarding FHFA Final Rule Amending Regulation on Federal Home Loan Bank Membership

The new rule announced today, for the regulation of Federal Home Loan Bank captive insurance company membership, is not unexpected and does not impact the Company’s current investment portfolio or the Company’s potential to create long-term shareholder value.  The Company’s captive insurance company was accepted as a member of the FHLB in September 2015 after the FHFA announced it was considering the new rule. The Company has managed its funding to take into account implementation of the rule. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding advances or funding with the FHLB.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for any other purpose, including for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. This information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
