Steve Moss: Great. Thank you very much, Kevin.

Operator: As we have no further questions, I’ll hand back to the management team for any concluding remarks.

Kevin O’Connor: Yes. I just want to — listen, I think we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished in 2022. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank the whole Dime team for what they’ve done, the efforts and the focus. And I know there’s a lot of questions about margin, but we believe the value of the business model that we have seeking customer, strong relationships, a conservative credit philosophy. It’s a model that worked for Legacy Bridge, It worked for the team that still brought on from Dime and what we’ve done. The near-term challenges we managed as the entire balance sheet adjust to the current rate environment, organizations like ours, with superior funding basis will ultimately succeed. So again, I want to thank everybody for their interest and questions today and look forward to, if you have any follow-up, please give us a call.

Operator: This concludes today’s call. Thank you very much for your attendance. You may now disconnect your lines.
