SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PROXY STATEMENT OF THE WAYNE
BANCORP, INC. COMMITTEE TO
PRESERVE SHAREHOLDER VALUE
[OPPOSES THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF WAYNE BANCORP, INC.]
This Proxy Statement and Gold proxy card are being furnished to holders of
the common stock (the"Stockholders"), par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") of Wayne Bancorp, Inc., (the "Company") a Delaware Corporation , in
connection with the solicitation of proxies (the "Proxy Solicitation") by the
Wayne Bancorp, Inc.Committee to Preserve Shareholder Value (the "Committee").
The Special Meeting of Stockholders is to be held on January 30, 1997 at 2:00
p.m. Eastern Time, at 1195 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, New Jersey (the "Special
Meeting"). Stockholders who own the Common Stock on December 2, 1996 will be
entitled to vote ("Special Meeting Record Date").
At the Special Meeting, the Company will be seeking approval of the 1996
Wayne Bancorp, Inc. Stock Based Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan").
The Committee members own approximately nine percent (9%) of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock and is soliciting the votes of other Stockholders to
defeat the Incentive Plan as now proposed, unless the Company amends the
Incentive Plan to provide that no shares are issued until at least the Company's
next Annual Meeting of Stockholders,which most likely will occur in May or June,
1997, at which time the Stockholders will be able to better evaluate whether the
Directors' and management's performance has earned them performance
compensation.
The Committee consists of Seidman and Associates, L.L.C. ("SAL"), a New
Jersey Limited Liability Company; Seidman and Associates II, L.L.C. ("SAL II");
Seidman Investment Partnership, L.P.; ("SIP"), a New Jersey Limited Partnership;
Lawrence B. Seidman ("Seidman"), individually; The Benchmark Company, Inc.
("TBCI"), a New York Corporation; Benchmark Partners, LP ("Partners"), a
Delaware Limited Partnership; Richard Whitman ("Whitman"), individually;
Lorraine DiPaolo ("DiPaolo"), individually (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Committee"). This Proxy Statement and GOLD proxy card are being first
mailed or furnished to Stockholders on or about December __, 1996.
Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you hold. We
hope you will agree with the Committee's goal of preserving shareholder value by
not giving performance awards before the performance can be measured. If you
agree, sign, date, and return the GOLD proxy card. Remember, your last dated
proxy is the only one which counts, so return the GOLD card even if you
delivered a prior proxy. We urge you not to return any proxy card sent to you by
the Company.
If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or nominee,
only they can vote your shares and only upon receipt of your specific
instructions. Accordingly, please return the GOLD proxy card in the envelope
provided by your Bank or Broker or contact the person responsible for your
account and give instructions for such shares to be voted.
<PAGE>
If your shares are registered in more than one name, the GOLD proxy card
must be signed by all such persons to ensure that all shares are voted for the
Committee's position.
Holders of record of shares of Common Stock on the Special Meeting Record
Date are urged to submit a proxy even if such shares have been sold after that
date. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Special Meeting
Record Date is 2,231,383. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote at
the Special Meeting. In order for the Company's Incentive Plan to be presently
approved, shareholders owing a majority of the outstanding Common Stock must
vote for the Incentive Plan.
If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares, please

THE COMMITTEE'S POSITION ON
PERFORMANCE STOCK COMPENSATION
The Committee does not object to, and is in favor of, directors and
officers receiving performance based stock compensation awards. However, the
Committee objects to the Incentive Plan because it rewards management before
positive performance is demonstrated. The Committee would have endorsed the
Incentive Plan if the Company had agreed not to award any shares until the
Stockholders could evaluate the performance of the directors and management and
then vote on awards that are matched to the performance.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS SEEKING
The Committee does not want any officer or director to receive any
performance related stock award until the performance of the present directors
and management can be evaluated. Simply stated:
OUR INTENTION IS TO PRESERVE VALUE FOR ALL
STOCKHOLDERS. IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT
PERFORM, THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS SHOULD
NOT RECEIVE REWARDS FOR BAD PERFORMANCE!
MANAGEMENT AND THE DIRECTORS ARE NOW
SEEKING PERFORMANCE AWARDS FOR
THEMSELVES BEFORE THEY PERFORM
Stock Options: The Incentive Plan if approved by the Stockholders,
authorizes the granting of 223,138 option shares ("Options"). If approved, the
Board of Directors intend to immediately grant 140,577 Option shares to
employees (including executive officers) and 66,941 shares to outside directors
and the director emeritus. Options for 15,620 shares will be reserved and
available under the Incentive Plan for future grant to directors, directors
emeritus, and/or employees. These Options will vest twenty (20%) percent per
year for five (5) years, commencing one year from the date of grant. As the
Company disclosed, the exercise of these Options will dilute the holdings of the
present Stockholders.
The Company wants to immediately grant approximately ninety-three (93%) of
these Options to reward employees for yet-to-be-achieved outstanding performance
without conditioning the employee's right to keep these Options upon a
pre-determined performance standard. Therefore, except for termination for
cause, even if an employee's performance does not aid the Company's growth,
he/she will still keeps the Options. If the Options were issued after the
performance was evaluated, or were conditioned upon a prescribed standard,
employees would be required to truly earn their performance award.
The Company has not told the Stockholders that the Options would most
likely reduce the price each Stockholder would receive from a potential acquirer
of the Company.
Stock Awards - Issuance of Free Stock to Employees and Directors: The
Incentive Plan, if approved by the Stockholders authorizes the granting of
89,255 Stock Awards to the Company's employees and directors. Most likely the
Company will re-purchase the 89,255 Stock Award shares (1) in the public market
which will cost the Company approximately $1,283,040.(2) In addition, the
recipient of the award shares shall also be entitled to receive cash and stock
dividends and can direct the voting of such granted shares. Immediately after
purchase of the shares the Company will give (for free) 79,436 Stock Award
shares to certain executive officers and directors. These shares will vest
twenty percent (20%) per year for five (5) years commencing one year from the
date of grant.
The Company's proxy statement disclosed that the vesting of the Stock
Awards may also be made contingent upon the attainment of certain performance
goals, by the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary or grantee. These performance
goals will be established by a committee of persons, some of whom may be the
recipients of these awards.
The Stockholders are now being asked to vote to approve these Stock Awards,
the purchase of which will cost the Company approximately $1,282,040, but the
Company is refusing to tell us what the performance goals are which would
entitle a person to retain the Stock Awards.
THE COST OF THE STOCK AWARDS WILL RESULT IN A BOOK VALUE REDUCTION OF EACH
SHARE IN THE AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $.58.
(1)The Company has the authority to issue authorized but unissued shares.
(2) Based upon the closing price of $14.375 per share for the Common stock on
December 2, 1996.
THIS WILL NOT BE THE FIRST
TIME THE COMPANY HAS REWARDED NON-PERFORMANCE
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO EARN $785,000.00 FOR TWO AND ONE HALF MONTHS OF WORK?
On or about September 6, 1996, Mr. Vanderberg resigned as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The information the Company sent to
shareholders claimed Mr. Vanderberg resigned TWO AND ONE HALF months after the
Company went public because of a temporary treatable medical condition. The
Company then owned by us Stockholders, paid Mr. Vanderberg approximately
$785,000.00. This represents a payment of approximately $15,000 per work day to
a person who was no longer of any service to the Company. This payment cost each
shareholder approximately $.35 per share. Was this generosity prudent? Did this
payment enhance the value of our shares, or even do anything to preserve the
value of the shares?
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE GIVEN $256,608.00 WORTH OF FREE STOCK?
The Committee does not know if Ms. O'Connell will be successful or not. The
Committee supports the use of incentive stock programs, which reward management
for providing shareholders with significant returns on their share ownership.
The Committee only objects to the giving of these rewards before performance,
since it is impossible: (i) to determine if the management has earned the right
to receive an incentive award; and (ii) to match the reward to the performance.
What makes the Company's Incentive Plan even more troubling is that the
Company says that the Stock Awards will be tied to a performance standard but
refuses to describe the standard. If the standard was reasonable, and related to
both Options and Stock Awards, the Committee may not object to the Incentive
Plans.
THE COMMITTEE PARTICIPANTS
The participants who comprise the Committee own in the aggregate 201,000
shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 9.00% of the shares

Whitman and DiPaolo share investment discretion, dispositive power, and voting
authority with respect to Partners.
The limited partners of SIP are: James J. Gallagher, Ph.D; Kaplus Hanover
Associates (Robert Kaplus, General Partner); The Ketron Family Trust DTD
10/20/89 (Russ Ketron, TTEE); Louis M. Rogow, M.D. & Enid Z. Rogow and SAL. The
General Partner of SIP is Veteri Place Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation

The members of SAL are Seidman; Sonia Seidman; Seidcal Associates, L.L.C.

Steven Greenberg and Richard Baer (owns 850 shares, of which 350 are owned in

(2) adult daughters each own 6,875 shares. They have each orally agreed to vote

None of the Partners of SIP or members of SAL, or members of SAL II own any
shares of the Company except as disclosed herein.
The members of the Committee agreed to act in concert. Whitman and DiPaolo
disclaim any beneficial interest in any shares of Common Stock owned by SAL, SAL
II, SIP, Seidman, or Seidman's clients. Seidman disclaims any beneficial
interest in any shares of Common Stock owned by TBCI, Partners, DiPaolo or

Corporate General Partner of SIP; and, in that capacity, Mr. Seidman has the
authority to cause those entities to acquire, hold, trade, and vote these
securities. SAL. SAL II, and SIP were all created to acquire, hold, and sell
publicly-traded securities. None of these entities was formed to solely acquire,
hold, and sell the Issuer's securities. Each of these entities owns securities
issued by one or more companies other than Issuer. The members and limited
partners in SIP, SAL, and SAL II are all passive investors, who do not - and
cannot - directly or indirectly participate in the management of these entities,
including without limitation proxy contests. Seidman's compensation is, in part,
dependent upon the profitability of the operations of these entities, but no
provision is made to compensate Seidman solely based upon the profits resulting
from transactions from the Issuer's securities.
The voting power over the Issuer's securities is not subject to any
contingencies beyond standard provisions for entities of this nature (i.e.,
limited partnerships and limited liability companies) which govern the
replacement of a manager or a general partner.
Each of the individuals listed on Exhibit A attached hereto is a citizen of
the United States. Additional Information concerning the Committee and their
holders of Common Stock is set forth in appendices A and B hereto.
SOLICITATION; EXPENSES
Proxies may be solicited by the Committee by mail, advertisement,
telephone, facsimile, telegraph, and personal solicitation. Whitman, DiPaolo,
and Seidman will be principally responsible to solicit proxies for the Committee
and certain of their employees will perform secretarial work in connection with
the solicitation of proxies, for which no additional compensation will be paid.
Banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries will be
requested to forward the Committee's solicitation material to their customers
for whom they hold shares and the Committee will reimburse them for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
The Committee has retained Beacon Hill Partners, Inc. to assist in the
solicitation of proxies and for related services. The Committee will pay Beacon
Hill Partners, Inc. a fee of up to $5,000 and has agreed to reimburse it for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, the Committee has also agreed to
indemnify Beacon Hill Partners, Inc. against certain liabilities and expenses,
including liabilities and expenses under the federal securities laws.
Approximately six (6) persons will be used by Beacon Hill Partners, Inc. in its
solicitation efforts.
The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this
Proxy Statement and related materials and the cost of soliciting proxies will be
borne by Seidman, SAL, SAL II, TBCI, and Partners.
Although no precise estimate can be made at the present time, the Committee
currently estimates that the total expenditures relating to the Proxy
Solicitation incurred by the Committee will be approximately $25,000 of which $0
has been incurred to date. The Committee intends to seek reimbursement from the
Company for those expenses incurred by the Committee, if the Incentive Plan is
not approved by the Stockholders, but does not intend to submit the question of
such reimbursement to a vote of the Stockholders.
For the proxy solicited hereby to be voted, the enclosed GOLD proxy card
must be signed, dated, and returned to the Committee, c/o Beacon Hill Partners,
Inc., in the enclosed envelope in time to be voted at the Special Meeting. If
you wish to vote for the Committee position, you must submit the enclosed GOLD
proxy card and must NOT submit the Company's proxy card. If you have already
returned the Company's proxy card, you have the right to revoke it as to all
matters covered thereby and may do so by subsequently signing, dating, and
mailing the enclosed GOLD proxy card. ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY WILL COUNT AT
THE SPECIAL MEETING. Execution of a GOLD proxy card will not affect your right
to attend the Special Meeting and to vote in person. Any proxy may be revoked as
to all matters covered thereby at any time prior to the time a vote is taken by
(i) filing with the Secretary of the Company a later dated written revocation;
(ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the Committee; or
(iii) attending and voting at the Special Meeting in person. Attendance at the
Special Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation.
The Incentive Plan may not be presently implemented unless a majority of
the outstanding Common Stock votes at the Special Meeting are in favor of the
Incentive Plan.
Shares of Common Stock represented by a valid, unrevoked GOLD proxy card
will be voted as specified. You may vote for the Committee's position or
withhold authority to vote for the Committee position by marking the proper box
on the GOLD proxy card. If no specification is made, such shares will be voted
against the Incentive Plan.
Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement, the Committee is not aware of
any other matter to be considered at the Special Meeting. The persons named as
proxies on the enclosed GOLD proxy card will, however, have discretionary voting
authority regarding any other business that may properly come before the Special
Meeting.
If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or nominee,
only they can vote such shares and only upon receipt of your specific
instructions. Accordingly, please return the proxy in the envelope provided to
you or contact the person responsible for your account and instruct that person
to execute on your behalf the GOLD proxy card.
Only holders of record of Common Stock on the Special Meeting Record Date
will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of
record on the Special Meeting Record Date, you will retain the voting rights in
connection with the Special Meeting even if you sell such shares after the
Special Meeting Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the
shares of Common Stock held by you on the Special Meeting Record Date, or grant
a proxy to vote such shares on the GOLD proxy card, even if you sell such shares
after such date.
The Committee believes that it is in your best interest to defeat the
Incentive Plan and support the Committee's position at the Special Meeting. THE
COMMITTEE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THE INCENTIVE PLAN.

(1) Seidman owns 5,500 shares of common stock directly, but may be deemed
to have sole voting power and dispositive power as to 136,650 shares
beneficially owned by SIP, SAL, SAL II, and several clients. On November 8,
1995, the acting director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) issued a
Cease and Desist Order against Seidman ("C & D") after finding that Seidman
recklessly engaged in unsafe and unsound practices in the business of an insured
institution. The C & D actions complained of were Seidman's allegedly
obstructing an OTS investigation. The C & D ordered him to cease and desist from
(i) any attempts to hinder the OTS in the discharge of its regulatory
responsibilities, including the conduct of any OTS examination or investigation;
and (ii) any attempts to induce any person to withhold material information from
the OTS related to the performance of its regulatory responsibilities. The Order
also provides that for a period of no less than three (3) years if Seidman
becomes an institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution
subject to the jurisdiction of the OTS, to the extent that his responsibilities
include the preparation or review of any reports, documents, or other
information that would be submitted or reviewed by the OTS in the discharge of
its regulatory functions, all such reports, documents, and other information
shall, prior to submission to, or review by the OTS, be independently reviewed
by the Board of Directors or a duly appointed committee of the Board to ensure
that all material information and facts have been fully and adequately
disclosed. In addition, a civil money penalty in the amount of $20,812 was
assessed.
(2) Whitman and DiPaolo, respectively, own 2,000 and 4,750 shares of Common
Stock directly, but may be deemed to have shared voting power and dispositive
power as to 57,600 shares beneficially owned by TBCI and Partner.
