Hi, good early morning, Rob. I recently wished to get back to margin. Once more, i understand you have talked a whole lot as we look at just the accretion income piece and I’m thinking about reported margin about it, but directionally. I simply desire to be sure that i’ve this apples-to-apples that are right because accretion earnings was therefore big this quarter. Therefore if we are considering it moving forward. Your reported margin simply keeping consistent with your responses on the core margin, you reported margin most likely will probably monitor for the reason that the 3.45%. Therefore like high 3.40%s, 3.48%, 3.49% range, have always been we doing that the right means?

Robert Michael GormanExecutive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, I first got it 3.45% to 3.50per cent according to core, you got that right.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst

Okay, perfect. I recently like to be sure that right was got by me. Ok and then just a couple things on costs right here, just especially three line products seemed outsized, and I also wondered us think about that around your comments, the technology, the professional and the marketing if you could help. Had been here any one-time items which drove those greater?

Robert Michael GormanExecutive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Not necessarily, except that — additionally the advertising uptick, we’d some credits into the 3rd quarter, which failed to recur within the 4th quarter. And so the fourth quarter had been a bit a lot more of a run price basis for marketing. With regards to technology and processing, we are beginning to start to see the effect of a number of the initiatives we set up through the 12 months. By way of example Zelle adds to processing expenses, etc. Generally there can be an uptick linked to several of those items which started initially to come through into the quarter that is fourth. As well as the other product, which one ended up being that? Which was — expert charges.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst

Therefore simply the technology, yes together with fees that are professional.

Robert Michael GormanExecutive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, expert charges we do possess some consulting costs we are incurring pertaining to a few of the initiatives that people’re setting up place. We are setting up a brand new deposit pricing platform that people’ve invested some consulting bucks on, got various other jobs, robotic automation as John alluded to. Generally there’s some up — consulting linked to initiatives that are strategic’s embedded in those figures.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst

Okay. Therefore I guess — and something more concern right here. That you closed as we think about the branches. Demonstrably no further — or at the least into the near-term, no further rebranding or branch closure costs, but would be the price saves from those branch closures now completely phased, or are we planning to see?

Robert Michael GormanExecutive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, yes, therefore we — that is correct on spot. I believe we stated about $400,000, $500 cash call ,000 25 % that individuals did see into the 4th quarter.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst

Okay, after which where would you guys stay when it comes to contemplating branch closures because of this are you feeling good about the numbers year?

John C. AsburyPresident and Ceo

We feel very good about where we have been with regards to the culling that individuals’ve done, one thing that individuals are checking out we are planning to do one, even as we have actually the opportunity enrichment where we are going to go, essentially near two branches and go them into one new better location. So that as we gauge the franchise, and I also’ll ask Shawn O’Brien, Head of Consumer Banking, to comment. We think we’re able to reproduce that model, get better found less branches in metropolitan areas and reduced our cost run price. Shawn, we do not would like to get into too much detail but any viewpoint you are able to share on that?

Shawn E. O’BrienExecutive Vice President and Customer Banking Group Executive

Yes, all I would add is the fact that through purchase, we now have some branches which are not super in keeping with our brand name and certainly not into the shape that is best. And thus we’d love to get a bit less of a franchise footprint that is dense. And i believe we are able to do this most likely by firmly taking 14 — 12, 14 branches with time and consolidating them into seven more recent branches. To ensure’s type of that which we’re seeking to do, but that is a little bit of a play that is long-term we build out those new branches.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst

Okay. Okay, great. After which, John, you pointed out through 2019 you’d employed 39 folks from BB&T SunTrust. Exactly exactly How are you currently nevertheless earnestly trying to employ. Then simply of the 39, just how people that are many section of your C&I team? Many Thanks.

John C. AsburyPresident and Ceo

I suppose the clear answer is we are constantly searching for talent and now we are not likely to have a large add that is net. Plenty of those are not all net contributes to be specific. And so we had, i’d state, good 50 % of that quantity could be in several functions in retail bank, specially branch managers with outstanding alternative that are actually bankers appearing out of these bigger businesses and I also’m seeking to Dave Ring on here possibly well imagine maybe 40% approximately of these is commercial banking related. And we think the connection supervisor.

David V. RingExecutive Vice President and Commercial Banking Group Executive

Yes about 15 between commercial originators and credit oriented people. As well as in 2010, you understand, probably adds when you look at the solitary digits as a whole, but it is like John stated, it really is a lot more of a web quantity, because we understand we now have retirements as well as other items that we’re going to change in 2010.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst

As well as on that front side, Laurie because of the conclusion for this 12 months we expect you’ll be significantly less than most likely $15 million or less since it will continue to run off.

Laurie HunsickerCompass Aim — Analyst
