  Please note: Shareholders, you would have received your third quarter shareholder letter near the end of October and unfortunately after the mailing commenced, we identified several small corrections on the financial highlights. The tangible book value number decreased from $57.22 to $55.81 as the formula failed to include the new core deposit intangible from the acquisition of First National Bank of Northfield in the initial letter. Several credit quality measured were also adjusted to reflect the addition of Northfield. These adjustments were all positive. Please see the revised financial highlights in the letter linked above.
