The Registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Report”) by the prescribed due date, without unreasonable effort or expense, because the Registrant needs additional time to complete the purchase accounting adjustments related to the Savoy Bank transaction required to complete the financial statements to be included in the Report.  In accordance with Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant intends to file the Report on or prior to the fifth (5th) calendar day following the prescribed due date.
