Explanatory Note

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 3, 2012 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (“Brookline”) completed the acquisition of Bancorp Rhode Island, Inc. (“BancorpRI”) on January 1, 2012. On March 20, 2012, Brookline filed Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to the Initial Form 8-K (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend Item 9.01 to include the financial information required under parts (a) and (b) of Item 9.01. Brookline is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A to make the following corrections to the financial information attached as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment No. 1: (i) the calculation of Goodwill in footnote (4) has been corrected to support the Goodwill figure in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2011; (ii) references to footnotes (13) through (18) in the preliminary unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2011 have been revised in order to correspond with the correct footnote text; (iii) references to “pro forma financial statements” have been revised to refer to “preliminary pro forma financial statements”; (iv) certain rounding errors and totals have been corrected; (v) the information contained in “Note A – Basis of Presentation” has been modified slightly to include additional language; and (vi) January 1, 2011 has been inserted as the assumed date of the merger to clarify the period covered by the preliminary unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.

 

Except as described above, and as described in the First Amended Form 8-K, no other changes have been made to the Initial Form 8-K.
