Great. Thank you, Julie. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our third quarter earnings call. I'm joined today by Jim Fitzgerald, our Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who will review our financial results shortly.
The third quarter marked a very significant event for Eastern as we further advanced our strategic initiatives with the simultaneous announcement on September 19 of the sale of Eastern Insurance to A.J. Gallagher and the agreement to merge with Cambridge Trust. Both transactions are on track with the anticipated time lines communicated last month. We expect to close on the sale of Eastern Insurance next week and have filed all of the bank regulatory applications for the approvals required for the Cambridge Trust merger, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.
