      The Board of Directors of First Victoria National Bank is pleased to
announce that, effective September 17, 1998, First Victoria National Bank
reorganized into a one bank holding company, FVNB Corp. As part of this
transaction, each outstanding share of First Victoria National Bank common
stock, par value $2.50 per share, was converted into, by operation of law, one
share of FVNB Corp. common stock, par value $.01 per share. Shareholders do not
need to take any action at this time. Share certificates which previously
represented shares of common stock of First Victoria National Bank continue to
represent a like number of shares of common stock of FVNB Corp.

      The Board of Directors of First Victoria believes that the holding company
structure provides the best organizational vehicle by which it can serve its
shareholders, customers and communities well into the future. The Board of
Directors is committed to preserving First Victoria's community-oriented
philosophy and independence. By modernizing its organizational structure, First
Victoria is equipping itself to compete in the challenging markets it will face
in the next century.

      First Victoria National Bank is a Victoria, Texas based national banking
association with approximately $520 million dollars in total assets. First
Victoria National Bank has branches in Victoria, Port Lavaca and Taft, Texas.
