Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, page 61

1.     We note your disclosure on page 26 regarding recent negative 
developments affecting the
       banking industry that could materially adversely impact your liquidity, 
loan funding
       capacity, net interest margin, capital, and results of operations. You

       the company manages interest rate risk in accordance with policies that 
are established by
       ALCO and approved by the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. We 
also note the
       earnings call discussion on July 18, 2024, where regulatory ratios were 
discussed as
       metrics used in risk management. In your future periodic filings, please 
enhance
       your disclosures regarding risk management. For example, please describe 
any specific
       risk management policies, procedures or other actions to address the 
current commercial
       real estate lending environment, including any established limits for 
net interest income
       sensitivity as presented in the table on page 61.
