Item 5. Other Events
On June 1, 2000, Innes Street Financial Corporation (the "Company")
announced that its Board of Directors had declared a special cash distribution
in the amount of $4.00 for each share of the Company's issued and outstanding
common stock. This special cash distribution will be paid on June 30, 2000 to
shareholders of record on June 15, 2000. The Company anticipates that the
majority of the dividend will be treated as a payment from excess capital or a
return of capital. The exact amount of the distribution that would be treated as
a return of capital cannot be confirmed until the Company determines its
operating results for the 2000 tax year.
A copy of the press release announcing the special dividend is attached as
Exhibit 99-1 to this Form 8-K.
