1.We note your disclosure that your loan portfolio is diverse in terms of loan type, industry
and geographic concentrations. We further note the tabular disclosure on page 58 detailing
the composition of your gross loan portfolio, which includes commercial and industrial
loans. Given the significance of commercial and industrial loans in your total loan
portfolio, please revise your disclosures, in future filings, to further disaggregate the
composition of your commercial and industrial loan portfolio by separately presenting by
geographic and industry concentrations which may be material to an investor’s
understanding of these portfolio types. We note Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

prepayments and deposit pricing (betas), largely move in line with those it has
experienced in prior rate cycles. You further state that estimated changes to net interest
income in your analysis assumes no change in deposit balances or mix relative to the
baseline scenario. In order to provide more usefulness to the disclosures, please revise in
future filings to more fully discuss how you monitor and perform sensitivity tests of
deposit and other key assumptions used in interest rate risk, including, but not limited to
future balance sheet composition; loan and deposit pricing; assumptions related to the
magnitude of asset prepayments; earlier than anticipated deposit withdrawals; and impacts
from derivatives, to the extent applicable. In addition, please provide a discussion of how
any assumptions have changed from period to period, including any changes to the data
source used or significant changes in the assumption itself, and the impact on your
modeling and results as presented in your interest sensitivity simulation analysis, etc.
            In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
