Exhibit 99
OHIO LEGACY CORP
July [__], 2000
Dear Interested Investor:
The Board of Directors and management of Ohio Legacy Bank:
D. William Allen Gregory A. Long
Robert F. Belden Michael D. Meenan
Robert E. Boss Steven G. Pettit
J. Edward Diamond Daniel H. Plumly
L. Dwight Douce (CEO) Thomas W. Schervish
Scott J. Fitzpatrick
are pleased to enclose the Prospectus for Stark and Wayne County's newest
proposed financial institution. We encourage you to carefully review the
enclosed offering information in its entirety and, if you have questions,
please call any of our Directors, your Investment Counselor, a McDonald
Investments representative, a Trident Securities representative or a member of
Ohio Legacy Bank at our stock information center at (330) 263-1955.
Our offering has been restructured to allow for public warrants so
that each investor now receives one warrant for every five shares purchased.
Each warrant is exercisable within seven years and entitles the holder to
purchase one share at $10 per share during the life of the warrant. Further,
McDonald Investments and its Trident Securities division are now our sales
agents. McDonald, based in Cleveland, has retail brokerage offices throughout
Ohio. In addition, the Ohio Legacy Corp organizers and executive officers
intend to purchase $2,720,000 of the Company's stock. In our earlier offering
period, the Company had commitments for more than $7,500,000 of the $9,000,000
minimum. We are excited about the new structure of the offering and we look
forward to serving the Wayne and Stark County areas and other contiguous
counties as a locally owned community bank.
Current plans call for the offering period to end at 5:00 p.m. on
August 8, 2000. Any orders received after that date may not be accepted, unless
the offering is extended up to an additional thirty days. Pursuant to the
Prospectus, Ohio Legacy Corp is only authorized to issue between $9 and $12
million of stock; consequently your prompt attention to this matter is
encouraged.
In order to subscribe for shares of common stock, first read the
Prospectus, then complete the attached Stock Order Form. Simply return the
order form and your check in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or deliver the
check and order form to your McDonald Investment representative or our office
at 132 East Liberty Street in Wooster.
Sincerely,
