LITIGATION

Note 13 – Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the ordinary course of business to various pending or threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, operating results or liquidity.

Litigation expenses accrued in the first nine months of 2015 were related to an adverse jury verdict rendered in 2014 associated with the actions of an employee from an institution that was acquired in 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2015, as a result of a settlement of all claims, including claims for a contribution from its insurer relating to this litigation, the Company reversed $4.5 million in the previously accrued litigation expenses.
