Item 2. Other Events
On November 16, 1998, Ambanc Holding Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Ambanc"), completed its acquisition of AFSALA Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("AFSALA"), pursuant to the Reorganization and Merger Agreement,
dated April 23, 1998 and amended as of June 26, 1998, by and among Ambanc and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Amsterdam Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank") and AFSALA
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Amsterdam Federal Bank ("AFB"). Pursuant to the
Agreement, AFSALA was merged with and into Ambanc, with Ambanc as the surviving
corporation (the "Merger"), and thereafter, AFB was merged with and into the
Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity. Ambanc plans to integrate the
businesses of the Bank and AFB, which now operate as one institution under the
name "Mohawk Community Bank."
Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of the common stock, par value
$.10 per share, of AFSALA ("AFSALA") converted into the right to receive 1.07
shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Ambanc ("Ambanc").
Based on the 1,319,018 shares of AFSALA common stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger, Ambanc will issue 1,411,349 shares of Ambanc
Common Stock in the Merger. In addition, under the Merger Agreement, Ambanc
assumed unexercised options to purchase 145,468 shares of AFSALA common stock
(which converted into options to purchase 155,650 shares of Ambanc common stock)
held by AFSALA's directors, officers and employees.
Ambanc's Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-4
(File No. 333-59721), which was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 28, 1998, contains additional
