     The purpose of this Amendment No. 18 to the Schedule 13D is to report that Mr. Jorge G. Pereira, Hofin Anstalt (a corporation as to which Mr. Pereira holds sole voting and dispositive power), Alauda Investments Ltd. and Bikala Holdings Ltd. (wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hofin Anstalt), and Argali [BVI] Limited are no longer “Reporting Persons” on this Schedule 13D. In addition, this Amendment reflects the addition of the Interlaken Foundation as a “Reporting Person” and changes in the percentage of outstanding shares of M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”) common stock, par value $.50 per share (“Shares”), beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

     This Amendment No. 18 to Schedule 13D should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Schedule 13D and Amendments Nos. 1 through 17 thereto.

Item 2.      Identity and Background

      Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended as set forth below:

     Interlaken Foundation

The principal address of Interlaken Foundation is c/o M&T Bank 350 Park Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10022. Mr. Wilmers is the president of the Interlaken Foundation.

     As reflected in the agreement included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, Mr. Jorge G. Pereira, Hofin Anstalt, Alauda Investments Ltd., Bikala Holdings Ltd., and Argali [BVI] Limited are no longer “Reporting Persons” on this Schedule 13D. None of such persons, either individually or collectively, currently beneficially owns more than 5% of the Shares.

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer

      Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is revised and amended and restated as set forth below:
