City time, on December

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We are offering to exchange 5.375% Fixed to Floating Rate Subordinated
Notes due 2030 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), which
we refer to in this prospectus as the &ldquo;New Notes,&rdquo; for any and all of our outstanding unregistered 5.375% Fixed to
Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 that we issued in a private placement on August&nbsp;25, 2020, which we refer to in this
prospectus as the &ldquo;Old Notes.&rdquo; We are making this offer to exchange the Old Notes for the New Notes to satisfy our
obligations under the registration rights agreements that we entered into with the purchasers of the Old Notes in connection with
our issuance of the Old Notes to those purchasers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We will not receive any cash proceeds from this exchange offer.
The issuance of the New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes will not result in any increase in our outstanding indebtedness. Old
Notes that are not exchanged for New Notes in this exchange offer will remain outstanding. The exchange offer is not subject to
any minimum tender condition but is subject to certain customary conditions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Upon expiration of the exchange offer, all Old Notes that have
been validly tendered and not withdrawn will be exchanged for an equal principal amount of New Notes. The terms of the New Notes
are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Old Notes, except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities
Act and are generally not subject to transfer restrictions, are not entitled to registration rights under the registration rights
agreements that we entered into with the initial purchasers of the Old Notes and do not have the right to additional interest under
the circumstances described in the registration rights agreements relating to our fulfillment of our registration obligations.
The New Notes evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and are governed by the same indenture under which the Old Notes were issued.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">There is no existing public market for the Old Notes or the
New Notes and we do not expect any public market to develop in the future for either the Old Notes or the New Notes. The Old Notes
are not listed on any national securities exchange or quotation system and we do not intend to list the New Notes on any national
securities exchange or quotation system.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">You may withdraw your tender of Old Notes at any time prior
to the expiration of the exchange offer. We will exchange all of the outstanding Old Notes that are validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of New Notes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account
pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act
in connection with any resale of such New Notes. A broker-dealer that acquired Old Notes because of market-making or other trading
activities may use this prospectus, as supplemented or amended from time to time, in connection with resales of the New Notes for
a period of 180 days after the completion of the exchange offer. See &ldquo;Plan of Distribution.&rdquo;</P>

1995. These forward looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections
and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which
those statements are based. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by words like &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo;
 &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;intend,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo;
 &ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &ldquo;predict,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo; or &ldquo;continue&rdquo; or the negative of those words
and other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are
not a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which
such performance or results will be achieved. We caution that the forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations
and information available at the time the statements are made and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that are subject to change based on factors which are in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performance or achievements
could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements. You should bear this
in mind when reading this prospectus and not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.</P>

instances described in this prospectus under &ldquo;Plan of Distribution,&rdquo; certain holders of New Notes will remain obligated
to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer the New Notes. If such a
holder transfers any New Notes without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an applicable
exemption from registration under the Securities Act, such a holder may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Although the New Notes will rank on par with the Old Notes,
the New Notes will be our unsecured, subordinated obligations, and, consequently, will rank junior in right of payment to all of
our secured and unsecured &ldquo;senior indebtedness&rdquo; now existing or that we incur in the future, as described under &ldquo;Description
of the Notes&mdash;Subordination.&rdquo; As a result, upon any payment or distribution of assets to creditors in the case of liquidation,
dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding,
the holders of the senior indebtedness will be entitled to have the senior indebtedness paid in full prior to the holders of the
New Notes receiving any payment of principal of, or interest on, the New Notes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As of June&nbsp;30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness
and other liabilities of ranking senior to the New Notes, and no indebtedness that would rank pari passu with the New Notes. As
of June&nbsp;30, 2020, the Company&rsquo;s subsidiaries had, in the aggregate, outstanding debt and deposits of $1.5 billion that
would constitute senior indebtedness. The New Notes do not limit the amount of additional indebtedness or senior indebtedness that
we or any of our subsidiaries, including the Bank, may incur. Accordingly, in the future, we and our subsidiaries may incur other
indebtedness, which may be substantial in amount, including senior indebtedness, indebtedness ranking equally with the New Notes
and indebtedness ranking effectively senior to the New Notes, as applicable. Any additional indebtedness and liabilities that we

existing and future senior indebtedness, an investor in those notes may lose all or some of its investment upon our liquidation,
dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
In such an event, our assets would be available to pay the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, those notes only
after all of our senior indebtedness had been paid in full. In such an event, any of our other general, unsecured obligations that
do not constitute senior indebtedness, depending upon their respective preferences, will share pro rata in our remaining assets
after we have paid all of our senior indebtedness in full.</P>

to a certain extent, are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, capital market conditions
and other factors that are beyond our control. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service
obligations, we may be unable to obtain new financing or to fund our obligations to our customers and business partners, implement
our business plans, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the New Notes.
As a result, we may be unable to meet our obligations under the New Notes. In the absence of sufficient capital resources, we could
face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet debt service and
other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions of assets or to obtain the proceeds that they could realize
from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due, including obligations under the
New Notes. Additionally, as a holding company, our ability to service our debt is dependent, in part, on the receipt of dividends,
fees, and interest paid to us by the Bank. The Bank is a separate legal entity that is legally distinct from us and has no obligation
to make funds available to us for payments of principal of or interest on the New Notes. While we expect these payments to continue
in the future, there are regulatory limits under Maryland and federal law on the amount of dividends and distributions that the
Bank can pay to us without regulatory approval. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance that we will receive dividends or other
distributions from the Bank in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the New Notes. See &ldquo;Business-Supervision
and Regulation&rdquo; in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019, for additional information.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing
cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. FRBNY reports that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral
Rate, plus bilateral U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement (&ldquo;repo&rdquo;) transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment
service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the &ldquo;FICC&rdquo;), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp;
Clearing Corporation (&ldquo;DTCC&rdquo;). SOFR is filtered by FRBNY to remove a portion of the foregoing transactions considered
to be &ldquo;specials&rdquo;. According to FRBNY, &ldquo;specials&rdquo; are repos for specific-issue collateral which take place
at cash-lending rates below those for general collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on
their cash in order to obtain a particular security.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">FRBNY reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median
of transaction-level tri-party repo data collected from The Bank of New York Mellon, which currently acts as the clearing bank
for the tri-party repo market, as well as General Collateral Finance Repo transaction data and data on bilateral U.S. Treasury
repo transactions cleared through the FICC&rsquo;s delivery-versus-payment service. FRBNY states that it obtains information from
DTCC Solutions LLC, an affiliate of DTCC.</P>

or on any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of the future performance of SOFR. Since the initial publication

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In June&nbsp;2017, the ARRC convened by the Federal Reserve
and FRBNY announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to the London Interbank Offered Rate for U.S. dollar obligations (&ldquo;U.S.
dollar LIBOR&rdquo;). However, because SOFR is a broad U.S. Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding
transactions, it differs fundamentally from U.S. dollar LIBOR. For example, SOFR is a secured overnight rate, while U.S. dollar
LIBOR is an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities. In addition, because SOFR is a transaction-based
rate, it is backward-looking, whereas U.S. dollar LIBOR is forward-looking. Because of these and other differences, there can be
no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as U.S. dollar LIBOR would have done at any time, and there is no guarantee
that it is a comparable substitute for U.S. dollar LIBOR.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">SOFR may fail to gain market acceptance. SOFR was developed
for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR in part because
it is considered to be a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. However,
as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result,
is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would
not consider SOFR to be a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes for which U.S. dollar LIBOR historically has
been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in
turn, lessen its market acceptance. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the return on, value of
and market for the New Notes.</P>

example, Compounded SOFR, the first-available Benchmark Replacement, is the compounded average of the daily Secured Overnight
Financing Rates calculated in arrears, while&nbsp;Three-Month Term SOFR is intended to be a forward-looking rate with a tenor
of three months. In addition, very limited market precedent exists for securities that use Compounded SOFR as the rate basis,

counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to any particular

the instructions in the accompanying letter of transmittal for book-entry notes) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless
waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured within a time period we will reasonably

of Old Notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will have any duty or incur any liability for failure to give
such notification. Tenders of Old Notes will not be considered to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been
cured or waived. If we waive any terms or conditions with respect to a noteholder, we will extend the same waiver to all noteholders
with respect to that term or condition. Any Old Notes received by the exchange agent that are not validly tendered and as to which
the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent, without expense, to the tendering

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Only institutions (such as a securities broker or dealer) that
have accounts with the DTC or its nominee (called &ldquo;participants&rdquo;) and persons that may hold beneficial interests through
participants (including through Euroclear Bank SA/NV or Clearstream Banking, soci&eacute;t&eacute; anonyme, as DTC participants)
can own a beneficial interest in the global note. The only place where the ownership of beneficial interests in the global note
will appear and the only way the transfer of those interests can be made will be on the records kept by DTC (for their participants&rsquo;
interests) and the records kept by those participants (for interests of persons held by participants on their behalf).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Secondary trading in bonds and notes of corporate issuers is
generally settled in clearing-house (that is, next-day) funds. In contrast, beneficial interests in a global note usually trade
in DTC&rsquo;s same-day funds settlement system, and settle in immediately available funds. We make no representations as to the
effect that settlement in immediately available funds will have on trading activity in those beneficial interests.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Cash payments of interest on and principal of the global note
will be made to Cede, the nominee for DTC, as the registered owner of the global note. These payments will be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds on each payment date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">You may exchange or transfer the notes at the corporate trust
office of the trustee for the notes or at any other office or agency maintained by us for those purposes. We will not require payment
of a service charge for any transfer or exchange of the notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any applicable
tax or other governmental charge.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have been informed that, with respect to any cash payment
of interest on or principal of the global note, DTC&rsquo;s practice is to credit participants&rsquo; accounts on the payment date
with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the notes represented by the global note as
shown on DTC&rsquo;s records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on that payment date. Payments
by participants to owners of beneficial interests in notes represented by the global note held through participants will be the
responsibility of those participants, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in &ldquo;street
name.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We also understand that neither DTC nor Cede will consent or
vote with respect to the notes. We have been advised that under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an &ldquo;omnibus proxy&rdquo;
to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&rsquo;s consenting or voting rights to those participants
to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn
act on behalf of indirect participants, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in the principal amount represented
by the global note to pledge the interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC book-entry system, or otherwise
take actions in respect of that interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing its interest.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">DTC has advised that it will take any action permitted to be
taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange) only at the direction of one or more participants
to whose account with DTC interests in the global note are credited and only in respect of such portion of the principal amount
of the notes represented by the global note as to which such participant has, or participants have, given such direction.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">DTC has also advised as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust
company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a &ldquo;banking organization&rdquo; within the meaning of the New York
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve, a &ldquo;clearing corporation&rdquo; within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code, as amended, and a &ldquo;clearing agency&rdquo; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange
Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions
between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants. Participants include securities brokers
and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and may include certain other organizations. Certain of such participants
(or their representatives), together with other entities, own DTC. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to other entities
such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant,
either directly or indirectly. The rules&nbsp;applicable to DTC and its direct and indirect participants are on file with the SEC.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The policies and procedures of DTC, which may change periodically,
will apply to payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in the global note. We and the
trustee have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC&rsquo;s or any participants&rsquo; records relating to beneficial
interests in the global note, including for payments made on the global note, and we and the trustee are not responsible for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any of those records.</P>

no financial covenants requiring us to achieve or maintain any minimum financial results relating to our financial position or
results of operations or meet or exceed any financial ratios as a general matter or in order to incur additional indebtedness or
obligations or to maintain any reserves. Moreover, neither the indenture nor the notes contain any covenants limiting our right
to incur additional indebtedness or obligations, grant liens on our assets to secure our indebtedness or other obligations that
are senior in right of payment to the notes, repurchase our stock or other securities, including any of the notes, or pay dividends
or make other distributions to our shareholders (except, subject to certain limited exceptions, in the case of dividends or other
distributions; redemptions, purchases, acquisitions or liquidation payments with respect to our capital stock; and repayments,
repurchases or redemptions of any debt securities that rank equal with or junior to the notes, in each case, upon our failure to
timely pay the principal of or interest on the notes, when the same becomes due and payable). In addition, neither the indenture
nor the notes contain any provision that would provide protection to the holders of the notes against a sudden and dramatic decline
in our credit quality resulting from a merger, takeover, recapitalization or similar restructuring or any other event involving
us or our subsidiaries that may adversely affect our credit quality.</P>

is not the United States dollar, persons that will hold the New Notes as a position in a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion
transaction or other integrated transactions or risk reduction transaction, persons deemed to sell the New Notes under the constructive
sale provisions of the Code, persons that will hold the New Notes in an individual retirement account, 401(k)&nbsp;plan or similar
tax-favored account, or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other pass-through

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes in the exchange offer
should not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, (1)&nbsp;holders of Old Notes should
not recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of New Notes in the exchange offer, (2)&nbsp;a holder&rsquo;s basis in the New Notes
received in the exchange offer should be the same as such holder&rsquo;s basis in the Old Notes surrendered in exchange therefor
immediately before the exchange, and (3)&nbsp;a holder&rsquo;s holding period in the New Notes should include such holder&rsquo;s
holding period in the Old Notes surrendered in exchange therefor.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This discussion of certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations is for general information only and may not be applicable depending upon a holder&rsquo;s particular situation.
Holders of Old Notes considering the exchange offer are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences
to them of exchanging Old Notes for New Notes, including the tax consequences under state, local, estate, foreign and other tax
laws and the possible effects of changes in United States or other tax laws.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account
pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it may be a statutory underwriter and that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such New Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired
as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities provided that such broker-dealer notifies the Company to that
effect by so indicating on the letter of transmittal. To the extent that any notifying broker-dealer participates in the exchange
offer, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of this prospectus.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes
by broker-dealers or any other persons. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer
may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the
writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale,
at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers
or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer
and/or the purchasers of any New Notes. Any broker-dealer that receives New Notes in exchange for Old Notes acquired for its own
account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and resells such New Notes, and any broker-dealer
that participates in a distribution of such New Notes may be deemed to be an &ldquo;underwriter&rdquo; within the meaning of the
Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may
be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that
it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &ldquo;underwriter&rdquo;
within the meaning of the Securities Act.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and
any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that reasonably requests such documents. We have agreed to
pay certain expenses in connection with the exchange offer and will indemnify the holders of the Old Notes (including any broker-dealers)
against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.</P>
