(“AIB”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 11, 2003 (the “Initial Statement”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Statement filed with the Commission on April 2, 2010, and Amendment No. 2 to the Initial Statement filed with the Commission on October 8, 2010, each with respect to the common stock, par value $0.50 per share (the “Common Stock”), of M&T Bank Corporation, a New York corporation (“M&T”). Capitalized terms used but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D, as amended.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     The information contained in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
          (a)-(b) As a result of the transaction described in Item 5(c) and Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, AIB has ceased to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.
          (c) On November 1, 2010, AIB’s shareholders approved the disposition by AIB of all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it. On November 4, 2010, in accordance with the terms of AIB’s 26,700,000 Contingent Mandatorily Exchangeable Notes due November 15, 2010 (the “Notes”), each Note was mandatorily exchanged for one share of Common Stock, for no additional consideration.
