In order to hold our first stockholders meeting for organiza-

adopted. and any other appropriate business transacted. and because
the organizxnn Hoard of Directors deems it in the best interest of
the Bank to prnloed as rapidly as possible with construction of the
DUlldlng and uprning in temporary quarters. we find it necessary to
call for the payment of capital subscriptions by October 1 and to
set the organizational meeting of the stockholders for October 8.

There will be 100.000 shares of stock issued at the price of
$10.25 per share. or this amount $0.25 per share constitutes the
Organizational Fxpense Fund. Therefore. the remaining investment
cast will be $10.00 per share, allocated $5.00 to common capital.
$4.00 to surplus and $1.00 to undivided profits.

At its mevtlng on August 29. 1973. the organizational Board
of Directors adopted a resolution which set October I. 1973. at

tions not receiVed by that date and hour. in full. would be forfeited.
