Kevin Blair: Thank you, Candice. And I want to thank all of those who are listening on today’s call and for you continued interest in Synovus. As we close out the chapter on 2022 and we focus our full attention on executing in ’23, I personally remain confident in our ability to deliver on our goals and objectives as it relates to all of our stakeholders. I know that we have many team members who are listening on today’s earnings call. And so, I just want to say to you I am so proud of what you do and your passion for delivering on our purpose. It’s truly our team members that differentiate us with our clients and amongst our competitors. I am also very proud of what we achieved in 2022 and what we continue to build. Enhanced growth, efficiency, and profitability were all delivered during this past year.

But more importantly, we produced it in a way that will allow us to carry this momentum into 2023 and for that matter 2024 and beyond. And lastly, I am proud of the broad-based growth and diversification we are developing in asset classes, revenue streams as well as our business segments. Equally, I am proud of the pace of change and the overall agility of our company which will enable us to adapt more quickly as the environment changes. And it will change and to mitigate the challenges and risk that we face as we continue to execute on our strategic plan. As you have heard today, we have many things working very well. And we have many new exciting initiatives that are afoot. I also want to personally thank our senior leadership team for your hard work and dedication.

You make all this change possible, and your commitment and your drive inspires me on a daily basis. As always, we’re committed to regularly and transparently reporting our progress. And we look forward to, and appreciate the continued partnerships with each of you on the call today. And then finally, I can’t close out today’s earnings call without thanking Kessel Stelling, who officially retired from our Board and our Company on December 31. I am grateful for his many contributions to Synovus, as well as his mentorship, friendship, and his continued investment in our success as he remains in an advisory capacity over the next couple of years. And with that, Candice, we’ll conclude today’s call. Thank you.
