We are taking a measured and analytic approach to our review of alternatives”“There are several actions that we have taken and are ongoing as we look at this issue:We are in dialogue with the Treasury so that we can be sure that we are as informed as we can be about their activities and plans.We have continuous dialogue with our primary regulator, the OCC, as their support will be required for whatever path we eventually take.We consult regularly with our financial and legal advisors to assess the various options available to us with respect to TARP.” Current Thoughts on TARP CPP
