215-345-5100
Doylestown, Pennsylvania, December 30, 1999. Premier Bancorp, Inc. today
announced that it has listed its shares on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
effective Thursday, December 30, 1999. Premier Bancorp's common stock began
trading on the AMEX under the symbol "PPA".
As a primary market, the AMEX listing automatically gives Premier Blue Sky
approval in all 50 states. Additionally, an AMEX listing also qualifies certain
stocks, such as Premier's, the right to be purchased on margin. John C.
Soffronoff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Premier Bancorp stated, "We
are pleased to join the companies listed on the American Stock Exchange. Our
listing on the AMEX is a major milestone. We expect that our listing on the AMEX
will provide increased liquidity of our stock through the support of our
specialist and also provide greater visibility for the company's
accomplishments". Soffronoff continued, "Now that our stock is listed on the
AMEX, Premier should receive broader recognition among the financial community
and generate broader interest among potential investors".
Premier Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for Premier Bank based in
Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania with assets of $311 million and five full
service Pennsylvania banking offices in Doylestown, Easton, Southampton, Floral
Vale and Bethlehem. The Bank also has two loan production offices located in
Southampton and Montgomeryville.
