<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Financial Institutions, Inc. is a financial holding company organized in 1931 under the laws of New York State (&#147;New York&#148;). Our executive offices
are located at 220 Liberty Street, Warsaw, New York. The Parent&#146;s primary business is the operation of its subsidiaries.&nbsp;It does not engage in any other substantial business activities.&nbsp;The Parent&#146;s four direct wholly-owned
subsidiaries are: (1)&nbsp;Five Star Bank (the &#147;Bank&#148;), the Parent&#146;s wholly-owned New York-chartered banking subsidiary which provides a full range of banking services to consumer, commercial and municipal customers in Western and
Central New York; (2)&nbsp;Scott Danahy Naylon, LLC (&#147;SDN&#148;), which sells various premium-based insurance policies on a commission basis to commercial and consumer customers; and (3)&nbsp;Courier Capital, LLC (&#147;Courier Capital&#148;)
and (4)&nbsp;HNP Capital, LLC (&#147;HNP Capital&#148;), which both provide customized investment management, investment consulting and retirement plan services to individuals, businesses, institutions, foundations and retirement plans.&nbsp;Five
Star REIT, Inc. (&#147;Five Star REIT&#148;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, operates as a real estate investment trust that holds residential mortgages and commercial real estate loans. Five Star REIT provides additional flexibility and
planning opportunities for the business of the Bank. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Our Business Strategy </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business strategy has been to maintain a community bank philosophy, which consists of focusing on and understanding the individualized banking and other
financial services needs of individuals, municipalities and businesses of the local communities surrounding our primary service area. We believe this focus allows us to be more responsive to our customers&#146; needs and provide a high level of
personal service that differentiates us from larger competitors, resulting in long-standing and broad-based banking relationships. Our core customers are primarily small- <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">to&nbsp;medium-sized&nbsp;businesses,</FONT>
individuals and community organizations who prefer to build banking, insurance and wealth management relationships with a community bank that offers and combines high quality, competitively-priced products and services with personalized service.
Because of our identity and origin as a locally operated bank, we believe that our level of personal service provides a competitive advantage over larger banks, which tend to consolidate decision-making authority outside local communities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A key aspect of our current business strategy is to foster a community-oriented culture where our customers and employees establish long-standing and mutually
beneficial relationships. We believe that we are well-positioned to be a strong competitor within our market area because of our focus on community banking needs and customer service, our comprehensive suite of deposit, loan, insurance and wealth
management products typically found at larger banks, our highly experienced management team and our strategically located banking centers. We have evolved to meet changing customer needs by opening what we refer to as financial solution center
branches.&nbsp;These financial solution centers have a smaller footprint than our traditional branches, focus on technology to provide solutions that fit our customer preferences for transacting business with us, and these branches are staffed by
certified personal bankers who are trained to meet a broad array of customer needs. In recent years, we have opened four financial solution centers in the Rochester and Buffalo markets. We believe that the foregoing factors all help to grow our core
deposits, which supports a central element of our business strategy&#151;the growth of a diversified and high-quality loan portfolio. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bank is a New York-chartered commercial bank and its deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the &#147;DIF&#148;) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the &#147;FDIC&#148;). The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank systems and is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (&#147;NY DFS&#148;). The Company and
the Bank are subject to extensive regulation under federal and state laws. The regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole and not for the protection
of shareholders and creditors. Asset growth, deposits, reserves, investments, loans, consumer law compliance, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, establishment of banking offices, mergers and consolidations, changes in control, electronic
funds transfer, management practices and other aspects of operations are subject to regulation by the appropriate federal and state supervisory authorities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a bank holding company, we are subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (&#147;Federal Reserve Board&#148;). We are required to file reports with, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and the SEC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bank must file reports with the NY DFS and Federal Reserve Board concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory
approvals before entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other depositary institutions. Furthermore, the Bank is periodically examined by the NY DFS and the Federal Reserve Board to assess compliance with various
regulatory requirements, including safety and soundness considerations. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which the Bank can engage, and is intended primarily for the protection of the DIF and
depositors rather than for the protection of security holders. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including
policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of loan loss allowances for regulatory purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These regulatory authorities
have extensive enforcement authority over the institutions that they regulate to prohibit or correct activities that violate law, regulation or a regulatory agreement or which are deemed to be unsafe or unsound banking practices. Enforcement actions
may include the appointment of a conservator or receiver, the issuance of a cease and desist order, the termination of deposit insurance, the imposition of civil money penalties on the institution, its directors, officers, employees and
institution-affiliated parties, the issuance of directives to increase capital, the issuance of formal and informal agreements, the removal of or restrictions on directors, officers, employees and institution-affiliated parties, and the enforcement
of any such mechanisms through restraining orders or other court actions. Any change in laws and regulations, whether by the NY DFS, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or through legislation, could have a material adverse impact on us, our
operations and our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SDN is subject to insurance regulation and is required to be licensed or receive regulatory approval in nearly every
state in which it does business. In addition, most jurisdictions require individuals who engage in brokerage and certain other insurance service activities to be personally licensed. While variable across jurisdictions, these licensing laws and
regulations generally grant broad discretion to supervisory authorities to adopt and amend regulations and to supervise regulated activities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Courier
Capital and HNP Capital are subject to regulation as investment advisers under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;Advisers Act&#148;). The Advisers Act requires large advisers, like Courier Capital and HNP Capital, to
register with the SEC. In addition, the Advisers Act imposes additional duties on investment advisers, including fiduciary duties extending to all services undertaken on behalf of the adviser&#146;s client. Courier Capital and HNP Capital are
subject to these obligations and restrictions imposed under the Advisers Act and are also subject to examination by the SEC&#146;s Office of Compliance, Investigations, and Examinations to assess overall compliance with the Advisers Act and the
effectiveness of their internal controls. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus contains a summary of the debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, and units that we
may offer under this prospectus. The particular material terms of the securities offered by a prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus supplement. The descriptions herein and in the applicable prospectus supplement do not contain
all of the information that you may find useful or that may be important to you. However, this prospectus, the prospectus supplement and the pricing supplement, if applicable, contain the material terms and conditions for each security. The
prospectus supplement will also contain information, where applicable, about material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the offered securities, and the securities exchange, if any, on which the offered securities will be listed. You
should read these documents as well as the documents filed as exhibits to or incorporated by reference to this registration statement. Capitalized terms used in this prospectus that are not defined will have the meanings given them in these
documents. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="tx606189_11"></A>DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES </B></P>

subordinated debt securities. Senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture, referred to as the &#147;senior indenture,&#148; and subordinated debt securities will be issued under a separate indenture between us and Wilmington Trust,
National Association, dated as of April&nbsp;15, 2015, referred to in this section as the &#147;subordinated indenture.&#148; The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are collectively referred to in this section as the
&#147;indentures.&#148; The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are collectively referred to in this section as the &#147;debt securities.&#148; The debt securities will be our direct unsecured general obligations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will
describe the specific terms of the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The prospectus supplement will also indicate whether the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following briefly describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities and the indentures. We have not restated these indentures in
their entirety in this description. We have filed a form of the senior indenture, the existing subordinated indenture and first supplemental subordinated indenture, including the forms of debt securities, as exhibits to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part. We urge you to read the indentures, because they, and not this description, control your rights as holders of the debt securities. The following description of the indentures is not complete and is subject to, and
qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions in the respective indentures. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the indentures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that we may issue under the indenture from time to time in one or more series. We may in the future
issue debt securities under either indenture. As of the date of this prospectus, we had not issued any debt securities under the senior indenture, but we issued an aggregate principal amount of $40&nbsp;million in 6.00% <FONT

2015. At June&nbsp;30, 2018, these subordinated notes had not been redeemed by the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither indenture contains provisions that would afford
holders of debt securities protection in the event of a sudden and significant decline in our credit quality or a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction. Accordingly, we could in the future enter into transactions that
could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at that time or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating. </P>

treatment. In the case of legal defeasance, this opinion must be based on either an IRS letter ruling or change in federal tax law. We may not have a default on the debt securities discharged on the date of deposit. The discharge may not violate any
of our agreements. The discharge may not result in our becoming an investment company in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Information

minimum denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples in excess thereof. You will not have to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities of a series, but we may require you to pay for taxes or other governmental charges due upon a
transfer or exchange. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, each series of debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The
Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or any successor depositary, which we call a &#147;depositary&#148;, and will be represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., as nominee of DTC. The interests of beneficial
owners in the global notes will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct or indirect participants in DTC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ownership
of beneficial interests in a global note will be limited to persons, called participants, who have accounts with DTC or persons who hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the
transfer of these ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants).
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a global note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole
owner or holder of the debt securities of that series represented by such global note for all purposes of the indenture, the debt securities of that series and applicable law. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a global note will be
able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC&#146;s applicable procedures, in addition to those under the applicable indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments

instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in &#147;street name.&#148; Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC rules. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical
delivery of securities in definitive form. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global note to such persons may be impaired. Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of others, such as
securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, called indirect participants, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in a global note to pledge that interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system,
or otherwise take actions in respect of that interest, may be impaired by the lack of a physical certificate of that interest. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC will take any action
permitted to be taken by a holder of debt securities of a series only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account interests in global notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the
debt securities of a series as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If: (1)&nbsp;the depositary notifies us that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if the depositary ceases to be eligible under the applicable indenture and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90&nbsp;days; or (2)&nbsp;an Event of Default with respect to a
series of debt securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the respective global notes representing the affected series of debt securities will be exchanged for debt securities in definitive form of like tenor and of an equal aggregate
principal amount, in authorized denominations. Such definitive debt securities will be registered in such name or names as the depositary instructs the trustee. Such instructions will most likely be based upon directions received by the depositary
from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in global notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing
agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC and facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers
and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and
dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants, including those who may act as underwriters of our debt securities, and by the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc., the NYSE American and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as indirect participants that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either
directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures to
facilitate transfers of interests in global notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we, the trustee, any underwriter
nor any paying agent will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. </P>

material features and rights of our common stock. The summary does not purport to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, each of which is filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part, and to applicable sections of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York (the &#147;NYBCL&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000
shares of common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to the same rights, and is the same in all respects, as each other share of common stock. Holders of common stock are entitled to: (1)&nbsp;one vote per share on all matters
requiring a shareholder vote; (2)&nbsp;a ratable distribution of dividends on the common stock, if and when, declared by the board of directors (the &#147;Board&#148;); and (3)&nbsp;in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, to
share ratably in all assets remaining after holders of shares of preferred stock have received the liquidation preference of their shares plus accumulated but unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared), if any, and after all of our other
indebtedness has been provided for or satisfied. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors and have no preemptive rights to acquire any of our additional, unissued or treasury shares or
our securities convertible into or carrying a right to subscribe for or acquire our shares of capital stock. The shares of common stock, when issued in the manner described in this prospectus, will be fully paid and nonassessable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Dividends </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have historically paid regular quarterly
cash dividends on our common stock and the Board presently intends to continue the payment of regular quarterly cash dividends, dependent upon our results of operations, tax considerations, capital requirements and subject to the need for those
funds for debt service and other purposes and the restrictions described below. The amount of future dividends will depend upon earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, other regulatory requirements and other factors, and will be
determined by our Board on a quarterly basis. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay dividends or that, if paid, we will not reduce or eliminate dividends in the future. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">New York State law applicable to the declaration of distributions by a business corporation also limits our ability to declare and pay dividends. A
corporation generally may not authorize and make distributions if, after giving effect thereto, it would be unable to meet its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation&#146;s total assets would be less than the
sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if it were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy claims upon dissolution of shareholders who have rights superior to the rights of the holders of its common stock.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, as a bank holding company, our ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to the guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board regarding
capital adequacy and dividends. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year, and only if prospective earnings retention is
consistent with the holding company&#146;s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding company&#146;s ability to serve
as a source of strength to its subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While we are a legal entity separate and distinct from our banking and other subsidiaries, these
subsidiaries are the principal assets, and as such, a substantial part of our operating funds and, for the foreseeable future, all of the funds available for the payment of dividends are derived from the Bank. The New York Banking Law provides that
the Bank may not declare dividends during the calendar year that exceed the sum of the Bank&#146;s net income </P>

during the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years unless the dividend has been approved by the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York. Thus,
future dividends will depend upon the earnings of the Bank, its financial condition and its need for funds. Capital adequacy requirements serve to limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. Under federal law, the Bank cannot pay a
dividend if, after paying the dividend, the Bank will be &#147;undercapitalized.&#148; The FDIC may declare a dividend payment to be unsafe and unsound even though the Bank would continue to meet its capital requirements after the dividend. Also,
because the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, our right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary&#146;s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims
of the subsidiary&#146;s creditors. In the event of a liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution, the claims of depositors and other general or subordinated creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of
holders of any obligation of the institution to its shareholders, including any depository bank holding company (such as the Company) or any shareholder or creditor thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders of common stock are entitled to participate equally in dividends or other distributions when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds legally
available therefor. Subject to those regulatory restrictions described above, dividends may be paid in cash, property or common shares, unless we are insolvent or the dividend payment would render it insolvent. </P>

Certificate, Bylaws and the NYBCL </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, and the NYBCL may be deemed to have an
anti-takeover effect and may collectively operate to delay, defer or prevent a tender offer, a proxy contest or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in his or her best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium
over the market price for the shares held by our shareholders. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. This also encourages persons seeking to acquire control of us to
negotiate with us first. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such transactions may not have an opportunity to do so. In addition, these provisions will also render the removal of our Board or management more difficult. The
following discussion is a summary of certain material provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Directors</I>. The Board is divided into three classes. The members of each class are elected for a term of three years and only one class of directors is
elected annually. Thus, it would take at least two annual elections to replace a majority of our Board. Further, the Bylaws impose notice and information requirements in connection with the nomination by shareholders of candidates for election to
the Board or a proposal by shareholders of business to be acted upon at an annual meeting of shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposals and
Nominations</I>. Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for shareholders to make nominations of candidates for election as directors or to bring other business before any meeting of our shareholders. The shareholder notice procedure
provides that only persons who are nominated by, or at the direction of, the Board, or by a shareholder who has given timely written notice prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected, will be eligible for election as directors and
that, at a shareholders&#146; meeting, only such business may be conducted as has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of, the Board or by a shareholder who has given timely written notice of such shareholder&#146;s intention to
bring such business before such meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the shareholder notice procedure, for notice of shareholder nominations or other business to be made at a

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A shareholder&#146;s notice to us proposing to nominate a person for election as a director or proposing
other business must contain certain information specified in the Bylaws, including the identity and address of the nominating shareholder, a representation that the shareholder is a record holder of our stock entitled to vote at the meeting and
information regarding each proposed nominee or each proposed matter of business that would be required under the federal securities laws to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the proposed nominee or the proposed matter of
business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shareholder notice procedure may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the consideration of shareholder
proposals if the proper procedures are not followed, and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal, without regard to whether consideration
of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to us and our shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Restrictions on Call of Special Meetings</I>. Our Bylaws
provide that special meetings of shareholders can only be called by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or by the Secretary of the Company upon the written request of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at
the meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Prohibition of Cumulative Voting</I>. The Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting for the election of

issue preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of common stock. As a result, preferred stock, while not intended as a defensive measure against takeovers, could be issued quickly and easily, could adversely affect the rights
of holders of common stock and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change of control of the Company or make removal of management more difficult. </P>

representing shares of the preferred stock so redeemed, so long as we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption price of the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock
to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable on the preferred stock multiplied by the fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by
one depositary share. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata or by any other equitable method as may be determined by the depositary. </P>

shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those instructions, and we will agree to take all action which may be deemed
necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote any shares of preferred stock except to the extent it receives specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing that number
