(the “Company”) completed the issuance of its 5.75% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share) (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). As a result, the Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, shares of common stock and each other class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock is subject to certain restrictions in the event that the Company does not declare and pay (or set aside) dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for the last preceding dividend period. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock has preferential rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company over the common stock and each other class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, including such rights and restrictions, are more fully described in, and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Certificate of Designations (as defined in Item 5.03 below), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 1, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to establish the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, which became effective upon filing. The Certificate of Designations creates the Series B Preferred Stock out of the authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company, fixes the initial number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at 345,000, establishes the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and provides for certain other rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock. A copy of the Certificate of Designations is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 3, 2021, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 12,000,000 depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated February 24, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”).
