ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
Citizens Banking Corporation ("Corporation") was organized January 1,
1982. It is a multibank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is incorporated in the State of Michigan.
On December 31, 1995, the Corporation directly or indirectly owned seven
banking subsidiaries and one nonbanking subsidiary and had 1907 full-time
equivalent employees. Additional information related to the subsidiaries at
year-end 1995 is provided below.

(1) Consolidated totals of Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank ("CCSB" and
its wholly owned nonbank subsidiary, Citizens Commercial Leasing
Corporation ("CCLC")). Ownership of CCLC was transferred to CCSB from
the Corporation on January 31, 1991.
The Corporation's subsidiary banks are full service commercial banks
offering a variety of financial services to corporate, commercial,
correspondent and individual bank customers. These services include
commercial, mortgage and consumer lending, demand and time deposits, trust
services, investment services, safe deposit facilities, and other financial
products and services. The bank subsidiaries are wholly owned by the
Corporation and operate through 92 banking offices. The offices are located
along the Interstate 75 corridor within the State of Michigan from northern and
western suburban Detroit to the greater Grayling/Gaylord areas. Expansion
through the acquisition of the four Michigan affiliates of Banc One Corporation
purchased at the close of business on February 28, 1995 established a new
market presence in the central and southwest Michigan areas. The transaction
was accounted for as a purchase and the four banks ("acquired banks") were
merged into Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank headquartered in Flint, Michigan
effective immediately after the acquisition. Total assets acquired of $670
million included net loans of $532 million and investment securities and money
market investments of $57 million. The three banking offices in Illinois are
located in the suburban market of Chicago.
Citizens Commercial Leasing Corporation, a wholly owned nonbank subsidiary
of Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank, engages in direct lease financing of
office, medical and other equipment, and participates in high quality indirect
lease participations. CCLC's office is located in the main office building of
Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank.

Competition
The financial services industry is highly competitive. The banking
subsidiaries compete with other commercial banks, many of which are
subsidiaries of other bank holding companies, for loans, deposits, trust
accounts and other business on the basis of interest rates, fees, convenience
and quality of service. They also actively compete with a variety of other
financial services organizations including savings and loan associations,
finance companies, mortgage banking companies, brokerage firms, credit unions
and other organizations. The nonbank subsidiary competes directly with other
leasing companies.
Loans comprise 70.2% of the Corporation's average assets and are made in
the normal course of business to individuals, partnerships, municipalities and
corporations. Credit is extended to customers within the commercial,
commercial mortgage, real estate construction, real estate mortgage, consumer
installment and lease financing categories. Consumer installment loans are
primarily composed of automobile, personal, marine, home equity and bankcard
loans and represent 39.1% of the 1995 average loan portfolio. Consumer
installment loans originated follow strict Corporate credit screening
procedures. Real estate mortgage loan extensions are primarily first liens on
one to four family structures and unless insured by a private mortgage
insurance company typically have traditional loan to appraisal ratios of 80%.
Commercial and commercial mortgage loan originations generally do not rely on
the performance of the real estate market to generate funds for repayment and
do not represent a concentration in any one industry or company. Additional
information on the composition of the loan portfolio and the related
nonperforming assets is incorporated herein by reference from Exhibit 13 of
this document on pages 66 to 70 under the captions "Loans and Leases" and
"Nonperforming Assets".
Mergers between and the expansion of financial institutions both within
and outside of our primary markets of Michigan and Illinois have provided
significant competitive pressure in those markets. In addition, the passage of
federal interstate banking legislation has expanded the banking market and
heightened competitive forces.
In October 1995, the Corporation announced the consolidation of its six
Michigan chartered banks into one bank called Citizens Bank. The
consolidation, expected to occur in June 1996, will further streamline
operations and reduce certain costs but will retain local management and
respective boards of directors. Also in 1995, the Corporation announced its
Process Improvement Project, a series of productivity initiatives designed to
incorporate the use of "best practices" throughout the Corporation. The
Corporation expects to achieve financial benefits as a result of these
initiatives.
Other factors such as employee relations and environmental laws also
impact the Corporation's competitiveness. Presently, none of the Corporation's
employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and the Corporation's
maintains a favorable relationship with it's employees. The impact of
environmental laws is further discussed in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" of this
document.
Supervision and Regulation
Citizens Banking Corporation is subject to supervision and regulation by
the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended (the "Act"). The Act requires the Corporation to obtain the prior
approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for bank
acquisitions, limits the acquisition of shares of out-of-state banking
organizations unless permitted by state law and prescribes limitations on the
nonbanking activities of the Corporation. As a bank holding company, the
Corporation and its subsidiaries are able only to conduct the business of
banking and activities so closely related to banking or managing
4
<PAGE> 5
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
The Corporation's subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory
authorities. Three of the banks are chartered by the State of Michigan and are
subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Financial
Institutions Bureau of the State of Michigan. The other four banks are
chartered under federal law and are subject to supervision, regulation and
examination by the Comptroller of the Currency. All seven banks are subject to
supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), as their deposits are insured by the FDIC to the extent provided by
the law. All but one bank are members of the Federal Reserve System. The
Corporation's nonbank company is supervised and examined by the Federal Reserve
System.
Certain regulatory matters concerning capital adequacy guidelines for the
Corporation and its banking subsidiaries, limitations on the payment of
dividends to the Corporation by its banking subsidiaries and maintenance of
minimum average reserve balances by the banking subsidiaries with the Federal
Reserve Bank are incorporated herein by reference from Exhibit 13 of this
document on pages 71 and 90 under the captions, "Liquidity and Debt Capacity"
and "Note 16. Regulatory Matters".
As previously discussed, the Corporation announced the consolidation of its
six Michigan chartered banks into one bank called Citizens Bank. The
consolidation will further streamline operations and reduce certain costs but
will retain local management and respective boards of directors. The
consolidation is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be completed
in June 1996. This consolidation will likely result in maintaining additional
non-interest bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank and may favorably
impact the ability of the surviving entity to pay dividends to the Parent
company without regulatory approval. The surviving bank charter in Michigan
"Citizens Bank" will be a state chartered member of the Federal Reserve System.
The 1994 passage of the federal Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency Act allows states the ability to enact legislation
permitting interstate branching but have no choice in opting out of provisions
related to interstate banking. The effect of the interstate banking provisions
do not impact Michigan or neighboring states since these states have previously
passed legislation allowing bank holding companies to own bank affiliates in
multiple states. On November 29, 1995 the Michigan legislature passed Public
Act 202 permitting interstate branching. This law allows a bank the ability to
establish branches outside of the State of Michigan provided that state adopts
similar legislation. However, since Citizens is headquartered in Michigan and
currently has only one subsidiary outside of the state this does not
significantly affect the Corporation. The Corporation may be impacted as
states adjacent to Michigan pass similar legislation. The impact of this is not
expected to significantly affect the Corporation's strategic plan, except to
allow potentially greater consolidation benefits if the Corporation acquires
banks outside of Michigan.
On December 29, 1994 the State of Michigan amended the State's Banking
Code of 1969 to allow banks to engage in the insurance business and to own an
insurance agency. Although the National Bank Holding Company Act prohibits the
holding company from direct ownership of an insurance agency, banks within the
holding company may now do so. In the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation's
lead bank Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank established a "de novo" insurance
agency, Lakeshore Insurance. Through this subsidiary, the Corporation will
sell life insurance and annuity products to customers subject to certain
restrictions.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") adopted in August 1989 has significantly affected financial
institutions. Key provisions of
5
<PAGE> 6
FIRREA provide for the acquisition of thrift institutions by bank holding
companies (previously only failing thrifts were permitted to be acquired),
increase deposit insurance assessments for insured banks, redefine applicable
capital standards for banks and thrifts, broaden the enforcement power of
federal bank regulatory agencies, and require that any FDIC-insured depository
institution be held liable for any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with
the default of any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or
any assistance provided by the FDIC to any such institution in danger of
default.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), signed into law on December 19, 1991, imposes on banks relatively
detailed standards and mandates the development of additional regulations
governing nearly every aspect of the operations and management of banks, in
addition to many aspects of bank holding companies. Some of the major
provisions contained in FDICIA includes recapitalization of the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF"), a risk-based insurance premium assessment system, a
capital-based supervision system that links supervisory intervention to the
deterioration of a bank's capital level, new auditing and accounting and
examination requirements, and mandated standards for bank lending and
operation.
FDICIA provides the FDIC with the authority to impose assessments on
insured BIF member depository institutions to maintain the fund at the
designated reserve ratio defined in FDICIA. In response to the BIF obtaining
the designed reserve ratio, 1995 FDIC assessments were reduced from 23 cents to
4 cents per $100 of deposits for banks meeting the requirements of supervisory
risk subgroup 1.A. "well capitalized". All seven of the Corporation's
subsidiaries have sufficient captial to maintain a "well capitalized"
designation, (the FDIC's highest rating). On December 11, 1995, the FDIC
amended the assessment rate schedule to reduce assessments on deposits for
banks within supervisory risk subgroup 1.A. "well capitalized" to zero
effective for the first semiannual assessment schedule in 1996. Further
regulatory changes could impact the amount and type of assessments paid by the
Corporation's subsidiary banks.
Monetary Policy
The monetary and fiscal policies of regulatory authorities, including the
Federal Reserve System, strongly influence the banking industry. Through open
market securities transactions, variations in the discount rate and the
establishment of reserve requirements, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System exerts considerable influence on interest rates and the supply
of money and credit. The effect of these measures on future business and
earnings of the Corporation cannot be predicted.
Environmental Matters
The Corporation's primary exposure to environmental risk is through its
provision of trust services and its lending activities. In each instance, the
Corporation has policies and procedures in place to mitigate its environmental
risk exposures to the fullest extent possible. With respect to lending
activities, environmental site assessments at the time of loan origination are
mandated by the Corporation to confirm collateral quality as to commercial real
estate parcels posing higher than normal potential for environmental impact, as
determined by reference to present and past uses of the subject property and
adjacent sites. Environmental assessments are also mandated prior to any
foreclosure activity involving non-residential real estate collateral. In the
case of trust services, the Corporation utilizes various types of environmental
transaction screening to identify actual and potential risks arising from any
proposed holding of non-residential real estate for trust
6
<PAGE> 7
accounts. Consequently the Corporation does not anticipate any material
effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of itself
or any of its subsidiaries with regard to compliance with federal, state or
local environmental protection laws or regulations. Additional information is
provided in the "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" section of this document.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Corporation's offices are located at One Citizens Banking Center, 328 South
Saginaw Street, Flint, Michigan in the main office building of Citizens
Commercial & Savings Bank, its largest bank subsidiary. The Corporation's
subsidiaries operate through 92 banking offices. Of these, 22 are leased,
three are owned by the banks involved but on leased land, and the remaining are
owned. Rent expense on the leased properties, net of sublease payments of
$55,000, totaled $917,000 in 1995.
The banking offices are located in various communities throughout the
State of Michigan and in the Chicago suburbs of Berwyn, Cicero and Elk Grove,
Illinois. Some portions of the main office buildings of Citizens Commercial &
Savings Bank and Second National Bank of Saginaw are leased to tenants.
Additional information related to the property and equipment owned or
leased by the Corporation and its subsidiaries is incorporated herein by
reference from Exhibit 13 on page 83 under the caption "Note 6. Premises and
Equipment" of this document.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries are notified by
applicable environmental regulatory agencies, pursuant to State or Federal
environmental statutes or regulations, that they may be potentially responsible
parties ("PRPs") for environmental contamination on or emanating from
properties currently or formerly owned. Typically, exact costs of remediating
the contamination cannot be fully determined at the time of initial
notification. While, as PRPs, these subsidiaries are potentially liable for
the costs of remediation, in most cases, there are a number of other PRPs
identified as being jointly and severally liable for remediation costs.
Additionally, in certain cases, statutory defenses to liability for remediation
costs may be asserted based on the subsidiaries' status as lending institutions
that acquired ownership of the contaminated property through foreclosure. The
Corporation's management is not presently aware of any environmental
liabilities which pose a reasonable possibility of future material impact on
the Corporation or its earnings. It is the Corporation's policy to establish
and accrue appropriate reserves for all such identified exposures during the
accounting period in which a loss is deemed to be probable and the amount is
determinable.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of 1995 to a vote of
security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

engage in any activity within the purposes for which a Corporation may be
organized under the Business Corporation Act of Michigan, and specifically, but
not in limitation of the foregoing, to be a bank holding company under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to engage in, or acquire an
interest in other companies which engage in, activities closely related to

limitations of the common shares is as follows:
(1) Any distribution of profits of the Corporation voted by the directors
as dividends payable in cash, or in shares of the Corporation, or in other
securities of the Corporation or in other securities, shall be distributed to
the shareholders in proportion to their ownership of the shares of the
Corporation.
(2) Each shareholder shall have one vote per share in elections of
directors and on any other matters properly coming up at shareholders' meetings
for action by shareholders.
(3) Voting in elections of directors shall not be cumulative.

<PAGE> 3
ARTICLE VI
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under
the direction of a board of directors consisting of not less than ten nor more
than twenty-five directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from
time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the
board of directors elected and serving. The directors shall be divided into
three classes, designated Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each class shall
consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of
directors constituting the entire board of directors. At the 1986 annual
meeting of shareholders, Class I directors shall be elected for a one-year
term, Class II directors for a two-year term and Class III directors for a
three-year term. At each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders beginning
in 1987, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual
meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is
changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as
to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible,
and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting
from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide
with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the
number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director
shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term
expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject,
however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal
from office. Any vacancy on the board of directors that results from an
increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the board of
directors elected and serving, and any other vacancy occurring in the board of
directors may be filled by a majority of the directors elected and serving,
although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director
elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of
directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more
classes or series of preferred stock issued by the corporation shall have the
right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or
special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of office, filling of
vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the
terms of these articles of incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors
so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this article VI unless
expressly provided by such terms.
Any amendment, change or repeal of this article VI or any other amendment
or change of this article of incorporation which will have the effect of
modifying or permitting circumvention of this article VI, shall require the
favorable vote, at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, of the
holders of at least two thirds of the then outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Corporation entitled to vote; provided, however, that such two
thirds vote shall not be required for any such amendment, change or repeal
recommended to shareholders by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-fourths of the board of directors then in office, and such amendment,
change, or repeal so recommended shall require only the vote, if any, required
under the applicable provision of the Business Corporation Act of Michigan.
17
<PAGE> 4
ARTICLE VII
The directors shall have the power to make, alter, amend, change, add to
or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation not inconsistent with the provisions of
these articles of incorporation. The affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than two thirds of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote shall be required for the approval and adoption of
any amendment, alteration, change, addition to or repeal of article II, section
3; article III, section 11 and article III section 12 of the bylaws of the
Corporation proposed by any shareholder of the Corporation.
Any amendment, change or repeal of this article VII, or any other
amendment of these articles of incorporation which will have the effect of
modifying or permitting circumvention of this article VII, shall require the
favorable vote, at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, of the
holders of at least two thirds of the then outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Corporation entitled to vote; provided, however, that such two thirds
vote shall not be required for any such amendment, change or repeal recommended
to shareholders by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the
board of directors, and such amendment, change, or repeal so recommended shall
require only the vote, if any, required under the applicable provision of the
Business Corporation Act of Michigan.
ARTICLE VIII
Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of not less than two thirds
of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote.
Any amendment, change or repeal of this article VIII, or any other amendment of
these articles of incorporation which will have the effect of modifying or
permitting circumvention of this article VIII, shall require the favorable
vote, at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, of the holders of at
least two thirds of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote; provided, however, that such two thirds vote
shall not be required for, any such amendment, change or repeal recommended to
shareholders by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the
board of directors elected and serving, and such amendment, change, or repeal
so recommended shall require only the vote, if any, required under the
applicable provision of the Business Corporation Act of Michigan.

ARTICLE IX
The affirmative vote of (a) the holders of not less than two thirds of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote and (b)
the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the corporation entitled to vote excluding for purposes of determining
the affirmative vote required by this clause (b) all such shares of which a
"Related Person" (as hereinafter defined) shall be a "Beneficial Owner" (as
hereinafter defined), shall be required for the approval or authorization of
any "Business Combination" (as hereinafter defined) involving a Related Person;
provided, however, that the foregoing voting requirements set forth in clauses
(a) and (b) above shall not be applicable, and the provisions of Michigan law
relating to the percentage of shareholder approval, if any, shall apply to any
such Business Combination if:
A. The "Continuing Directors" of the corporation (as hereinafter
defined) by a three-fourths vote thereof have expressly approved the
Business Combination either in advance of or subsequent to the
acquisition of outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation that caused the Related Person to become a Related
Person; or
B. If each of the following conditions are satisfied:
1. The aggregate amount of the cash and the fair market value of
the property, securities or other consideration to be received
per share of any class or series of capital stock of the
corporation in the Business Combination by holders of such
capital stock of the corporation, other than the Related Person
involved in the Business Combination, is not less than the
"Highest Per Share Price" or the "Highest Equivalent Price" (as
these terms are hereinafter defined), paid or to be paid by the
Related Person in acquiring any of such class or series of the
capital stock of the corporation outside of such Business
Combination; and
2. A proxy statement complying with the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall have been
mailed to all shareholders of the Corporation for the purpose
of soliciting shareholder approval of the Business Combination.
The proxy statement shall contain at the front thereof, in a
prominent place, the position of the Continuing Directors as to
the advisability (or inadvisability) of the Business
Combination and, if deemed advisable by a majority of the
Continuing Directors, the opinion of an investment banking firm
selected by the Continuing Directors as to the fairness of the
terms of the Business Combination, from the point of view of
the holders of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
corporation other than any Related Person.

<PAGE> 6
For purposes of this Article IX:
1. The term "Business Combination" means (i) any merger, consolidation
or share exchange of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries into
or with any member of any Related Person, in each case irrespective
of which corporation or company is the surviving entity; (ii) any
sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other
disposition to or with any member of any Related Person (in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or a
Substantial Part (as hereinafter defined) of the assets of the
Corporation (including without limitation any securities of a
subsidiary) or a Substantial Part of the assets of any of its
subsidiaries; (iii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge,
transfer or other disposition to or with the corporation or to or
with any of its subsidiaries (in a single transaction or series of
related transactions) of all or a Substantial Part of the assets of
any member of any Related Person; (iv) the issuance or transfer of
any securities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by the
corporation or any of its subsidiaries to any member of any Related
Person (other than an issuance or transfer of securities which is
effected on a pro rata basis to all shareholders of the Corporation);
(v) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of
any securities of any member of any Related Person; and (vi) any
agreement, contract or other arrangement providing for any of the
transactions described in this definition of Business Combination.
2. The term "Related Person" shall mean any individual, corporation,
partnership or other person or entity, including any member of a
"group" (as defined in section 13(d)(3)) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as in effect at the date of the adoption of this article
by the shareholders of the corporation; such act and such rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, collectively and as so in effect,
being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Act"), and any
"Affiliate" or "Associate" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange
Act) of any such individual, corporation, partnership or other person
or entity which, as of the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote on any Business
Combination, or immediately prior to the consummation of such
transaction, together with their Affiliates and Associates, are
"Beneficial Owners" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) in
the aggregate of ten percent or more of the outstanding shares of any
class or series of capital stock of the Corporation.
3. The term "Substantial Part" shall mean more than 10% of the

Directors, of the total consolidated assets of the corporation and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the end of its most recent

made.
20
<PAGE> 7
4. For the purposes of subparagraph B. 1. of paragraph one of this
article IX, the term "other consideration to be received" shall
include, without limitation, common stock or other capital stock of
the Corporation retained by shareholders of the Corporation other
than Related Persons or parties to such Business Combination in the
event of a Business Combination in which the corporation is the
surviving corporation.
5. The term "Continuing Directors" shall mean a director who either (i)
was a member of the board of directors of the Corporation immediately
prior to the time that the Related Person involved in a Business
Combination became a Related Person, or (ii) has been designated
(before his or her initial election as director) as a Continuing
Director by a majority of the then Continuing Directors.
6. A "Related Person" shall be deemed to have acquired a share of the
capital stock of the Corporation at the time when such Related Person
became a Beneficial Owner thereof. With respect to the shares owned
by Affiliates, Associates or other persons whose ownership is
aggregated with that of a Related Person under the foregoing
definition of Related Person, if the price paid by such Related
Person for such shares is not determinable by the Continuing
Directors, such price shall be deemed to be the higher of (a) the
price paid upon the acquisition thereof by the Affiliate, Associate,
or other person or (b) the market price of the shares in question at
the time when the Related Person became a Beneficial Owner thereof.
7. The terms "Highest Per Share Price" and "Highest Equivalent Price" as
used in this article IX shall mean the following: If there is only
one class of capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding,
the Highest Per Share Price shall mean the highest price that can be
determined to have been paid or to have been agreed to be paid, by
the Related Person for any share or shares of that class of capital
stock within the two year period immediately prior to the
announcement date of the proposed Business Combination or in the
transaction in which the shareholder became a Related Person,
whichever is higher. If there is more than one class of capital
stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding, the Highest
Equivalent Price shall mean with respect to each class and series of
capital stock of the Corporation, the amount determined by
three-fourths of the Continuing Directors, on whatever basis they
believe is appropriate, to be the highest per share price equivalent
for each such class or series to have been paid or to have been
agreed to be paid by the Related Person within the two year period
immediately prior to the announcement date of the proposed Business
Combination or in the transaction in which the shareholder became a
Related Person, whichever is higher. The Highest Per Share Price and
the Highest Equivalent Price shall also include any brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees paid by the
Related Person with respect to the shares of capital stock of the
corporation acquired by the Related Person.
21
<PAGE> 8
The board of directors of the Corporation shall have the power and
duty to determine for the purposes of this article IX on the basis of
information then known to it, (i) whether any person is an Affiliate
or Associate of another person, (ii) whether any proposed sale,
lease, exchange or other disposition of part of the properties or
assets of the Corporation involves a Substantial Part of the
properties or assets of the Corporation, and (iii) the value of the
Highest Per Share Price and Highest Equivalent Price. Any such
reasonable determination by the board of directors shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes of this article IX.
Any amendment, change or repeal of this article IX, or any other
amendment of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation which will
have the effect of modifying or permitting circumvention of this
article IX, shall require the favorable vote, at a meeting of the
shareholders of the Corporation, of (a) the holders of at least two
thirds of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote and (b) a majority of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote of which
a Related Person is not a Beneficial Owner; provided, however, that
this paragraph shall not apply to, and such two thirds and majority
vote shall not be required for, any such amendment, change or repeal
recommended to shareholders by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-fourths of the Continuing Directors, and such amendment,
change, or repeal so recommended shall require only the vote, if any,
required under the applicable provision of the Business Corporation
Act of Michigan.
This article IX shall not be applicable to the Corporation effective on the
date on which the board of directors of the Corporation elects by resolution to
become subject, and so long as the Corporation remains subject, in whole or in
part, as to specifically identified or unidentified interested shareholders (as
defined in Chapter 7A) of the Corporation, to the voting requirements of Section
780 of Chapter 7A of the Business Corporation Act of the State of Michigan
("Chapter 7A"). If for any reason the provisions of Chapter 7A are not
applicable to the Corporation after the board of directors have elected to have
the Corporation become subject thereto, then, in such event, article IX shall be
effective and applicable to the Corporation.
ARTICLE X
(a) No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the
director's fiduciary duty except for liability (i) for a breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) for a violation of Section 551(1) of the
Business Corporation Act of Michigan; (iv) for a transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for an act or omission
occurring before March 1, 1987.

advancement of expenses may be entitled under these articles of incorporation,
the bylaws of the Corporation or a contractual agreement.

ESTABLISHING AND DESIGNATING THE SERIES AND
FIXING AND DETERMINING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
OF THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
OF
CITIZENS BANKING CORPORATION
Pursuant to Section 302(4) of the
Michigan Business Corporation Act
---------------------------------
Citizens Banking Corporation, a Michigan corporation, hereby
certifies that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation at a meeting duly called and held on July 20,
1990, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and that the
complete text of such resolution is as follows:
RESOLVED: That pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of
Directors in accordance with the provisions of its Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation, a series of preferred stock of the Company be and it
hereby is created, and that the determination of the terms and amount thereof
and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and
other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof are as set forth below, and that the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company be and hereby are
amended by adopting a Certificate of Designations containing the terms and
conditions contained in Exhibit A to the Rights Agreement.
Exhibit A to the Rights Agreement
There is hereby established a series of serial preferred stock to
which the following provisions shall be applicable:
Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series
shall be designated as "Series A Preferred Stock" (the "Preferred Stock") and
the number of shares constituting the Preferred Stock shall be 200,000. Such
number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of
Directors (hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") of
Citizens Banking Corporation, (the "Company"); provided, that no decrease shall
reduce the number of shares of Preferred Stock to a number less than the number
of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon
the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion
of any outstanding securities issued by the Company convertible into Preferred
Stock.
31
<PAGE> 18
Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.
(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any
series of preferred stock of the Company (or any similar stock) ranking
prior and superior to the Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the
holders of shares of Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of
Common Stock, par value $10.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of
March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being
referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on
the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a
share or fraction of a share of Preferred Stock, in an amount per share
(rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or (b) subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the
aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the
aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or
other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common
Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the
immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to
the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any
share or fraction of a share of Preferred Stock. In the event the Company
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of
Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately
prior to such event.
A-2
32
<PAGE> 19
(B) The Company shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately
after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other
than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the
event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common
Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the
next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1 per share
on the Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next
preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of
such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue
from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the
determination of holders of shares of Preferred Stock entitled to receive
a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in
either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be
cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid
dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends
at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata
on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.
The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of
holders of shares of Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a
dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Preferred
Stock shall have the following voting rights:
(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
each share of Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one
hundred votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the
Company.
A-3
33
<PAGE> 20
(B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other
Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any
similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock and the
holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the
Company having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on
all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company.
(C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law,
holders of Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their
consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to
vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any
corporate action.
Section 4. Certain Restrictions.
(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are
in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Preferred Stock
outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Company shall not:
(i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions,
on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions,
on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Preferred
Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Preferred Stock and all
such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are then entitled;
(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Preferred Stock,
provided that the Company may at any time redeem, purchase or
otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for
shares of any stock of the Company ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the
Preferred Stock; or
A-4
34
<PAGE> 21
(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a
parity with the Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase
offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of
Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board
of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend
rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective
series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair
and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.
(B) The Company shall not permit any subsidiary of the Company to
purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the
Company unless the Company could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4,
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock purchased
or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever shall
be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of preferred stock
subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or in any other Certificate of
Designations creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock or as
otherwise required by law.
Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, no distribution shall be
made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Preferred
Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall
have received $1,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of
such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be
distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the
holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Preferred Stock, except
distributions made ratably on the Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are
entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the
A-5
35
<PAGE> 22
Company shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (1) of the
preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Company shall
enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which
the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of
Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into
an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash
and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or
for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the
Company shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or
change of shares of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such
amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event.
Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Preferred Stock shall
not be redeemable.
Section 9. Rank. The Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to
the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series
of any other class of the Company's preferred stock.
Section 10. Amendment. The Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Company shall not be amended in any manner which would
materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the
Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class.

"Effective Time").
1.2 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place at a time and date to be
specified by the parties, which shall be the first day which is (a) the last
business day of a month and (b) at least two business days after the
satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the latest to occur of
the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2(c) hereof (the "Closing
Date"), at the offices of Dykema Gossett, 505 N. Woodward Avenue, Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by
the parties hereto.
1.3 Effects of the Merger. (a) At the Effective Time, (i) the
separate existence of Royal shall cease and Royal shall be merged with and into
Citizens, (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of Citizens, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation
of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended in accordance with applicable
law, and (iii) the Bylaws of Citizens, as in effect

<PAGE> 30
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation until amended in accordance with applicable law.
(b) As used in this Agreement, the term "Constituent
Corporations" shall mean Citizens and Royal and the term "Surviving
Corporation" shall mean Citizens.
(c) At and after the Effective Time, the Merger will have the
effects set forth in Section 724(l) of the MBCA.
ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK
OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS;
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. (a) Conversion of Royal Common Stock
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the holder of any shares of Royal Common Stock, subject to Sections
2.1(d) and 2.2(e), each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of Royal,
par value $10 per share ("Royal Common Stock"), shall be converted into 2.0072
(the "Conversion Number") validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock of Citizens, without par value per share ("Citizens Common
Stock"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in Sections 2.1(c) and
2.1(e), and subject to the right of each Record Holder (as defined in Section
2.2(b) hereof) to elect to receive cash, in lieu of the shares of Citizens
Common Stock to which such Record Holder is entitled, as provided in Section
2.1(d) hereof. All such shares of Royal Common Stock shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and each certificate ("Certificate") previously representing any such
shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive (i) the whole shares of
Citizens Common Stock, (ii) the cash, if any, that the Record Holder of such
shares shall have elected to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(d), and (iii) cash
in lieu of any fractional share into which such Royal Common Stock has been
converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a). Certificates representing shares of
Royal Common Stock shall be exchanged for certificates representing whole
shares of Citizens Common Stock and cash, if any, as herein provided, upon the
surrender of such Certificates in accordance with Section 2.2, without any
interest thereon. In the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement
but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Citizens Common
Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or securities through a reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, or other similar change in Citizens' capitalization, then an appropriate
and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Number.
(b) Citizens Common Stock. Each share of Citizens Common Stock
issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and
outstanding.
2
44
<PAGE> 31
(c) Adjustment of Conversion Number. The Conversion Number shall be
adjusted as follows: The Conversion Number is based on a value of $19.50 per
share of Citizens Common Stock. If the Average Price Per Share (as defined in
Section 2.2(e) hereof) of Citizens Common Stock is greater than $19.50, the
Conversion Number shall be adjusted downward to the number obtained by
multiplying the Conversion Number by a fraction the numerator of which is $19.50
and the denominator is the Average Price Per Share but not more than $21. If
the Average Price Per Share is less than $19.50, the Conversion Number shall be
adjusted upward to the number obtained by multiplying the Conversion Number by a
fraction the numerator of which is $19.50 and the denominator is the Average
Price Per Share but not less than $18.
(d) Right to Elect to Receive Cash. Each Record Holder shall have the
right to receive cash rather than the shares of Citizens Common Stock that such
Record Holder is entitled to receive under Section 2.1(a), provided, however,
that the aggregate amount of cash to be paid to all Record Holders pursuant to
such election shall not exceed $3,400,000 (the "Cash Fund"). If the aggregate
amount of cash payable to Record Holders as shown by their elections would
exceed the Cash Fund, the Cash Fund shall be allocated among such Record Holders
who have elected cash, pro rata on the basis of their holdings of Royal Common
Stock as of the Effective Time and for which such Holders have submitted valid
elections, and certificates shall be issued to each such Holder for the balance
of the shares of Citizens Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled. The
amount of cash to be paid in lieu of shares of Citizens Common Stock shall be
determined on the basis of $19.50 per share of Citizens Common Stock. Any
Record Holder wishing to receive cash in accordance with this Section 2.1(d)
shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, no later than 20 calendar days after the
Effective Time, a duly completed election form as provided by the Exchange
Agent. Record Holders who do not make such an election shall be entitled to
receive only shares of Citizens Common Stock.
(e) Additional Merger Consideration. In addition to the shares of Citizens
Common Stock and cash, if any, into which each issued and outstanding share of
Royal Common Stock is converted pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and (d), each such
share of Royal Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time also shall be
converted into a fraction of a share of Citizens Common Stock determined (i) by
dividing the "Adjusted 1993 Net Income" of Royal, as determined pursuant to
Section 2.1(g) or (h), as the case may be, by the Average Price Per Share and
(ii) dividing the resulting number by the total number of shares of Royal Common
Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time. The resulting fraction shall be
added to the Conversion Number determined under Section 2.1(a) after the
Conversion Number has been adjusted for any adjustment required by Section
2.1(c).
(f) Definition of "Adjusted 1993 Net Income" of Royal. The Adjusted 1993
Net Income of Royal shall mean the excess, if any, of the Total Stockholders'
Equity as shown in the Estimated Financial Statements or Closing Financial
Statements, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided, of Royal as of the
Closing Date over $13,456,000 (which is the Total Stockholders' Equity as shown
in the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of Royal as of December 31, 1992)
attributable to the consolidated net income of Royal for the period
3
45
<PAGE> 32
January 1, 1993 to the Closing Date, subject to the following adjustments: (i)
all of Royal's costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, including, without limitation, legal and accounting costs, costs of
financial advisers, and Royal's share of the costs of Independent Accountants,
if any, under Section 2.1(h), shall be deducted to the extent not deducted by
Royal as an operating expense for the period prior to the Closing Date, and
(ii) the effect of extraordinary items shall be eliminated; such extraordinary
items shall include, without limitation, recognition of gains or losses upon
sale of investment securities (other than the gain of $333,421 realized upon
the sale of U.S. Treasury Notes on January 25, 1993, which gain shall not be
excluded in the determination of the Adjusted 1993 Net Income), adoption of new
accounting principles such as SFAS #106 and #109, gains or losses from disposal
of significant lines of business or business assets, and other extraordinary
items that have a material impact upon Adjusted 1993 Net Income.
(g) Estimated Financial Statements. Approximately 30 days before the
anticipated Closing Date, Royal shall prepare an estimated consolidated
statement of income for the period January 1, 1993 through the Closing Date and
an estimated consolidated balance sheet as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated
Financial Statements"). Such Estimated Financial Statements shall be prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a basis
consistent with Royal's audited consolidated financial statements for 1992.
The Estimated Financial Statements shall not reflect any adjustment requested
by Citizens pursuant to Section 5.7 of this Agreement. Such Estimated
Financial Statements shall take into consideration financial results of Royal
as reported in its Form 1O-Q's and its internally prepared monthly financial
statements. Royal shall submit such Estimated Financial Statements to Citizens
for review. Royal shall meet with Citizens and its accountants at the request
of Citizens and shall provide all information requested by Citizens with
respect to the Estimated Financial Statements. If Citizens and Royal each is
willing to accept the Estimated Financial Statements for purposes of
determining the additional Merger consideration described in Section 2.1(e),
each of them shall sign a certificate to which a copy of the Estimated
Financial Statements is attached acknowledging acceptance of the Estimated
Financial Statements as so prepared and setting forth the amount of Adjusted
1993 Net Income of Royal, the fraction, if any, to be added to the Conversion
Number, the determination of such fraction, and the Conversion Number as
adjusted for such fraction. Such Estimated Financial Statements shall be
binding on Citizens and Royal, and shall not be subject to renegotiation or
challenge thereafter except for manifest error or a breach by Royal of any of
its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, which error
or breach becomes known prior to the Effective Time.
(h) Reviewed Financial Statements. If Citizens and Royal cannot agree
on the Estimated Financial Statements as set forth in Section 2.1(g), then
Royal shall prepare a consolidated statement of income for the period January
1, 1993 through the Closing Date and a consolidated balance sheet as of the
Closing Date (the "Closing Financial Statements"), as promptly as possible
following the Closing. Such Closing Financial Statements shall be prepared in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.1(f) and 2.1(g) and shall be
reviewed by McEndarffer, Hoke & Bernhard, Royal's independent public
accountants ("Royal's Accountants"). Royal's Accountants shall cooperate
4
46
<PAGE> 33
fully with Ernst & Young, Citizens' independent public accountants ("Citizens'
Accountants") while the review is in progress to facilitate the timely review
of the Closing Financial Statements by Citizens' Accountants. Citizens,
Citizens' Accountants, Royal, and Royal's Accountants each shall have the right
to review, at such party's expense, any of Citizens' Accountants' and Royal's
Accountants' working papers relating to the preparation or review, as the case
may be, of the Closing Financial Statements.
Within 15 days after the reviewed Closing Financial Statements are
delivered to Citizens by Royal, Citizens shall advise Royal in writing that it
either (i) accepts the Closing Financial Statements or (ii) does not accept
them. If Citizens accepts the Closing Financial Statements, Citizens and Royal
shall then prepare and execute a certificate as described in Section 2.1(g). If
Citizens does not accept the Closing Financial Statements, Citizens shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for its refusal to accept the Closing
Financial Statements. Citizens and Royal shall use their best efforts to
resolve the disagreement within 30 days. If Citizens and Royal fail to resolve
their disagreement within such 30-day period, then within seven days following
the expiration of such 30-day period a "Big Six" accounting firm (other than
Ernst & Young) shall be designated in writing by Royal, or if Royal shall fail
to designate such accounting firm in writing within such seven-day period,
Citizens shall be entitled to make such designation. Alternatively, Citizens
and Royal may agree upon any other accounting firm within the initial seven-day
period (the "Independent Accountants"). The Independent Accountants shall make
the final determination with respect to such disagreement regarding the Closing
Financial Statements and shall determine the amount of the additional Merger
consideration under Section 2.1(e). The fees and expenses of such firm in
making such determination shall be borne 50% by Citizens and 50% by Royal. The
decision of the Independent Accountants shall be addressed to each of Citizens
and Royal and shall be final and binding upon Citizens and Royal. Promptly
after the additional Merger consideration has been determined, Citizens shall
cause the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 2.2(a)) to notify the Record
Holders of the amount of the additional Merger consideration and to pay such
consideration to those Record Holders who have complied with the exchange
procedures of Section 2.2. Record Holders who have elected to receive payment
in cash pursuant to Section 2.1(d) shall be paid the additional Merger
consideration to which they are entitled in cash, regardless of whether the
Cash Fund contains any or sufficient cash to make such payments.
2.2 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. As of the
Effective Time, Citizens shall deposit with Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank
("Citizens Bank"), a wholly-owned Subsidiary (as hereafter defined) of Citizens
(the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Royal Common
Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates
representing the shares of Citizens Common Stock, cash in lieu of such shares,
and the cash in lieu of fractional shares (such cash and certificates for shares
of Citizens Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with
respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund") to be
issued and paid,pursuant to this Article II in exchange for outstanding shares
of Royal Common Stock. If the additional Merger consideration provided by
Section 2.1(e) has not been determined as of the
5
47
<PAGE> 34
Effective Time, then as soon as such additional Merger consideration is
determined, Citizens shall deposit with the Exchange Agent certificates for the
shares of Citizens Common Stock into which shares of Royal Common Stock are
converted pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and cash to be paid in lieu of such
shares.
(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Citizens shall
cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or
Certificates ("Record Holder") (i) a letter of transmittal which shall specify
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and
shall be in such form as Citizens and Royal may reasonably specify and (ii)
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange
for certificates representing shares of Citizens Common Stock, electing to
receive cash, if any, in accordance with Section 2.1(d), and cash in lieu of
fractional shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the
holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate representing the number of whole shares of Citizens Common Stock, if
any, and/or cash, if any, to which such Holder is entitled under Section 2.1,
and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, which such holder has the right
to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions
of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be
cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable to the
Record Holder, nor on unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to
holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Royal
Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Royal, the
shares of Citizens Common Stock and cash to which the Record Holder of such
Royal Common Stock is entitled may be issued and paid to such a transferee if
the Certificate representing such Royal Common Stock is presented to the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect
such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been
paid.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares; Voting. Whenever a
dividend or other distribution is declared by Citizens on the Citizens Common
Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the
declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares
issuable pursuant to this Agreement, provided that no dividends or other
distributions declared or made with respect to the Citizens Common Stock shall
be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the
shares of Citizens Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of such
Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II.
Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the Certificates representing
whole shares of Citizens Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without
interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable
with respect to such whole shares of Citizens Common Stock and not paid, and
(ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
6
48
<PAGE> 35
but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with
respect to such whole shares of Citizens Common Stock. Holders of
unsurrendered Certificates shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time
at any meeting of Citizens stockholders the number of whole shares of Citizens
Common Stock represented by such Certificates, regardless of whether such
holders have exchanged their Certificates.
(d) Transfers. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on
the stock transfer books of Royal of the shares of Royal Common Stock which
were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If after the
Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they
shall be cancelled and exchanged for the shares of Citizens Common Stock, if
any, and/or cash, if any, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this
Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.
Certificates surrendered for exchange by any person constituting an "affiliate"
of Royal for purposes of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), shall not be exchanged until Citizens has
received a written agreement from such person as provided in Section 6.2(j).
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Citizens Common Stock
shall be issued pursuant hereto. In lieu of the issuance of any fractional
share of Citizens Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(h), cash
adjustments will be paid to holders in respect of any fractional share of
Citizens Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable, and the amount of such
cash adjustment shall be equal to such fractional proportion of the "Average
Price Per Share" of a share of Citizens Common Stock. The "Average Price Per
Share" of a share of Citizens Common Stock shall be the average of the high and
low prices thereof as reported on the National Market System of NASDAQ (as
reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, another
authoritative source) over the ten business days on which the stock is traded
immediately preceding the day of the Effective Time.
The Average Price shall be adjusted as follows for any dividend, stock
split or distribution on Citizens Common Stock for which the "ex-dividend" or
"ex-distribution" date occurs during the ten trading days immediately preceding
the Effective Time: (i) if the record date for such dividend, stock split or
distribution occurs prior to the Effective Time, the NASDAQ average prices of
Citizens Common Stock on the days in such 10-day period prior to the
"ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" date shall, for purposes of determining the
Average Price Per Share, be reduced by the amount or value of the dividend or
cash distribution, or appropriately adjusted for the effect of any stock split
or other distribution; and (ii) if the record date for such dividend, stock
split or distribution occurs on or after the Effective Time, the price of
Citizens Common Stock on the "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" date, and on
subsequent days in such 10-day period, shall, for purposes of determining the
Average Price Per Share, be increased by the amount or value of the dividend or
cash distribution, or appropriately adjusted for the effect of any stock split
or other distribution.
(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund
(including the proceeds of any investments thereof and any Citizens Common
7
49
<PAGE> 36
Stock) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Royal for six months after
the Effective Time shall be paid to Citizens. Any shareholders of Royal who
have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to
Citizens for payment of their shares of Citizens Common Stock, cash in lieu of
fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on the Citizens Common
Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Royal Common Stock such
shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case,
without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Citizens,
the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of
shares of Royal Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public
official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
(g) No Liability. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by
Citizens, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Citizens may
direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect
to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Citizens Common Stock, if any,
and/or cash, if any, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(1) 1992 income and income per common share were affected by nonrecurring
items. Nonrecurring items included restructuring expenses related to
the leasing subsidiary, employee benefit costs related to adopting the
accrual method of accounting for retiree benefits and a curtailment gain
resulting from modification of retiree benefit plans. If the nonrecurring
items had been excluded from the results of operations for 1992, income
before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle would have been
reduced by $1.152 million or $0.08 per fully diluted share.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
The following discussion provides a more comprehensive review of the
Corporation's operating results and financial condition than could be obtained
from reading the Consolidated Financial Statements alone. Citizens Banking
Corporation earned $33,596,000 or $2.30 per fully diluted share during 1995
compared with $29,414,000 or $2.03 per share in 1994. Net income was up
$4,182,000 or $0.27 per fully diluted share over the prior year and reflected a
14.2% increase in net income. This marked the Corporation's thirteenth
consecutive year of increased net operating income and eighth consecutive year
of record earnings.
The Corporation's 1995 results reflect ten months of operations for the
four Michigan affiliates of Banc One Corporation purchased at the close of
business on February 28, 1995. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase
and the four banks ("acquired banks") were merged into Citizens Commercial &
Savings Bank headquartered in Flint, Michigan effective immediately after the
acquisition. Total assets acquired of $670 million included net loans of $532
million and investment securities and money market investments of $57 million.
Cost-in-excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired
("intangible assets") of $59.2 million and is being amortized over 15 years.
Return on average assets was 1.02% in 1995, a decrease from 1.09% in 1994.
The decline in the Corporation's return on assets is primarily attributable to
additional interest expense, intangible asset amortization costs and
nonrecurring systems conversions costs associated with the acquired banks.
Systems integration and conversion of the acquired banks to Citizens' corporate
systems was completed in the second and third quarters of 1995, and as a result
the acquisition was accretive to earnings in the fourth quarter.
Return on average equity improved to 12.10% in 1995 compared with 11.46%
last year. Average shareholders' equity was $277.6 million or 8.46% of total
average assets for 1995 compared with $256.6 million or 9.46% for 1994. The
Corporation's risk-based capital levels exceeded all regulatory requirements.
An analysis of changes in major income statement components in 1995 from
1994 is presented below. Overall, the increase in net income reflects
improvement in net interest income and noninterest income, offset, in part, by
increases in noninterest expense and income taxes. Higher levels of earning
assets, primarily loans and leases, resulted in higher net interest income.
Additional data on the Corporation's performance during the past five years
appears in Table 1.

NET INTEREST INCOME
The largest segment of the Corporation's operating income is net interest
income, which is the sum of interest and certain fees derived from earning
assets minus interest paid on deposits and other funding sources. Net interest
income is impacted by changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and
funding sources, market rates of interest, demand for loans and the
availability of deposits. Other factors, such as Federal Reserve Board
monetary policy and changes in tax laws, may also have an impact on changes in
net interest income from one period to another.
Average balances and rates on major categories of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities during the past three years appear in
Table 2. Total average earning assets were 19.9% higher during 1995 compared
with 1994 primarily due to the purchase of the acquired banks. The composition
of average earning assets changed in 1995 as total average loans increased $505
million to 76.7% of average earning assets from 71.9% in 1994. Average
investment securities including money market investments represented 23.3% of
average earning assets in 1995 compared with 28.1% in 1994. Total average
interest-bearing liability balances increased

23.0% in 1995 compared to 1994, while average noninterest-bearing deposit
balances increased 18.9%.
The average yield on earning assets improved 75 basis points to 8.20% in
1995. Yields increased in all categories of earning assets except lease
financing, in response to the higher interest rate environment. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased 109 basis points to 4.12% in 1995 from
3.03% in 1994. This increase was attributable to $115 million of long term
debt incurred to fund the first quarter 1995 acquisition and higher deposit
costs, primarily from savings and time accounts. Long-term debt comprised 3.4%
of total funding sources during 1995, compared with 0.4% in 1994.
Additionally, the weighted average rate on all long-term debt increased to
7.52% in 1995 from 5.24% in 1994. The increased costs on interest bearing
liabilities more than offset increased yields on earning assets causing the
interest spread on earning assets (the difference between the average yield on
earning assets and the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities) to
decrease from 4.42% in 1994 to 4.08% in 1995. As a result, net interest margin
decreased from 4.99% in 1994, to 4.77% in 1995, a 22 basis point decline.
The effect on net interest income of changes in average balances
("volume") and yields and rates ("rate") are quantified in Table 3. As shown,
net interest income improved in 1995 due to volume-related increases primarily
attributable to the February 28, 1995 acquisition which provided $16.6 million
of the volume related increase. Higher costs of interest-bearing liabilities
offset the effects of increased asset yields resulting in unfavorable rate
related variances of $2.0 million.
In the latter part of 1995 and again in early 1996, the Federal Reserve
Board lowered the federal funds rate. As a result money market interest rates
declined and the Corporation lowered it's prime lending rate. Management
continually monitors the Corporation's balance sheet to insulate net interest
income from significant swings caused by interest rate volatility. If market
rates continue to decrease in 1996, corresponding changes in funding costs
would be considered to avoid a negative impact on net interest income. The
Corporation's policies in this regard are further discussed in the section
titled "Interest Rate Risk".

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE
FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management provides for possible loan losses at a level determined
adequate based upon judgements regarding historical loss experience, the
financial condition of borrowers, the size and composition of the loan
portfolio, the level and composition of nonperforming loans, estimated future
net charge-offs, present and anticipated economic conditions and other factors.
A summary of the Corporation's loan loss experience from 1991 through 1995
appears in Table 4.
Management increased the provision for loan losses in 1995 by $1.1 million
from 1994, primarily due to the acquisition of the four banks. Net loan
charge-offs were 0.16% of average loans in 1995, down from 0.17% in 1994 and
below peer group levels. The ability to cover loan charge-offs improved during
the year as the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to net loans charged off
increased to 9.6 times at December 31, 1995 compared with 7.9 times as of
December 31, 1994. At year end, the allowance for loan losses was $34.8
million or 1.43% of total loans, up $10.1 million from 1.36% at December 31,
1994. The increase is attributable to a higher loan loss provision in 1995 as
compared to 1994 and the addition of the $7.2 million allowance of the acquired
banks.
Gross charge-offs increased $1.8 million, or 29.6% from 1994, partially
due to charge-offs related to the acquired banks. Recoveries on loans
previously charged off increased 44.5% compared to the prior year, resulting in
a slight decline in the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding.
The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for each of the loan portfolios
except commercial decreased compared with the prior year as follows:
commercial (0.16% versus 0.06%), mortgage (0.01% versus 0.02%), consumer (0.14%
versus 0.27%) and leasing (0.70% versus 1.22%).
The Corporation maintains formal policies and procedures to control and
monitor credit risk. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is
adequate to meet presently known credit risks in the loan portfolio. The
Corporation's loan portfolio has no significant concentrations in any one
industry nor any exposure in foreign loans.

The Corporation has generally not extended credit to finance highly
leveraged transactions nor does it intend to do so in the future. Employment
levels and other economic conditions in the Corporation's local markets may
have a significant impact on the level of credit losses. Management continues
to identify and devote attention to credits that may not be performing as well
as expected. Nonperforming loans are further discussed in the section titled
"Nonperforming Assets".
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income accounted for 20.9% of total operating income or 1.1%
of average assets in 1995, decreasing from 22.2% or 1.3%, respectively, in
1994. The decline was primarily the result of discontinuing the Travel Banking
product line in early 1995, which provided bankcard merchant fee income. This
decrease was more than offset by reductions in associated operating expenses,
including interchange and other bankcard expenses. Excluding the effects of
the Travel Banking product line and the newly acquired banks, 1995 noninterest
income increased by 2.7% over 1994 levels. An analysis of the components of
noninterest income is on the following page.
Excluding the results of the acquired banks, trust income increased
$246,000 or 2.5%. The largest increases occurred in employee benefit trust
services. The Corporation offers comprehensive trust services to its customers
including investment management services in the personal trust, institutional
and employee benefit plan market segments.
Deposit service charges increased 12.7% including the results of the newly
acquired banks. Brokerage and investment fees decreased $196,000, or 13.8%,
excluding the impact of the acquired banks. The decrease in brokerage and
investment fees is due to lower market penetration and a temporary reduction in
staff during the first half of 1995.
Other loan income increased $615,000 from 1994, primarily attributable to
premiums on the sale of student loans and loan servicing income from the
operations of the acquired banks. Net gains on sale of mortgages were $327,000
in 1995 compared with $255,000 in 1994. The direction and magnitude of changes
in market interest rates, as well as the volume of originated mortgages
retained, may affect future levels of income for this category. Excluding
the acquired banks, other loan income increased $25,900 or 2.0% in 1995 as
compared to 1994.
ATM fees increased $222,000, or 16.9%, excluding the impact of the
acquired banks, due to increased volumes. Increases in cash management
services, safe deposit and the other fees resulted primarily from the acquired
banks.
The Corporation realized net gains on sales of investment securities of
$198,000 during 1995 compared with net gains of $157,000 during 1994. As
presented in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, gross realized
gains on sales of investment securities amounted to $202,000 in 1995 while
gross realized losses amounted to $4,000. The comparable amounts in 1994 were
$326,000 and $169,000, respectively. Proceeds from sales of investment
securities during 1995 totaled $7.0 million or 1.2% of total average security
holdings compared with $190.3 million or 29.3% in 1994. The 1994 and 1995 net
gains resulted from the sale of certain securities to reposition the investment
portfolio based on the current rate environment.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). This Statement requires the Corporation
to classify securities into one of three categories based on its intent and
ability to hold the investment to maturity. These categories include:
held-to-maturity (securities that the Corporation has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity), trading (securities bought and held principally
for the purpose of selling in the near future) and available-for-sale
(securities not classified in either of the two other categories). At
adoption, the Corporation classified all of its investment portfolio into the
available-for-sale category. Securities classified as available-for-sale are
recorded at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate
component of shareholders' equity. Adoption increased shareholders' equity on
January 1, 1994 by $6.6 million. The Corporation's policies with respect to
the classification of investments in debt and equity securities are further
discussed in the section titled "Investment Securities and Money Market
Investments" and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
The major components of noninterest expense are summarized on the previous
page. Excluding the effects of the acquired banks, noninterest expense
decreased $4,143,100, or 3.9% in 1995, from 1994 primarily due to a reduction
in the FDIC insurance assessments paid by the Corporation's banks for the last
seven months of 1995 and the discontinuance of the Travel Banking product line.
SALARIES AND BENEFITS
Compensation is the Corporation's largest noninterest expense. Excluding the
impact of the acquired banks, total compensation expense increased 0.2% to
$55,815,000 from $55,722,000 in 1994. This modest increase was primarily due
to continued health care benefit cost containment and declines in the number of
full-time equivalent employees, offset in part by higher incentive compensation
and merit increases. The reduction in staff occurred through normal attrition.
The consolidation of various business units and supporting functions
throughout the Corporation continues to enhance productivity and mitigate the
need to replace staff lost through attrition. In June 1996, the Michigan
subsidiaries of the Corporation will collapse their respective charters and
subsequently operate as one bank called Citizens Bank. This change will
consolidate remaining operational areas and systems and allow for
standardization of products and services offered throughout the Corporation's
market area. Management anticipates further productivity gains through these
operational consolidations and standardization of products and services.
OTHER NONINTEREST EXPENSES
FDIC insurance assessments decreased by $1,800,000, or 35.6% in 1995 as
compared to 1994. The decline resulted from a new rate schedule implemented
by the FDIC partially offset by an increase in the Corporation's deposit base
due to the purchase of the acquired banks. As a result of the new rate
schedule, deposit insurance assessments decreased from 23 cents to 4 cents per
$100 of insured deposits for all banks within the Corporation beginning in June
1995.
Excluding the impact of the acquired banks, occupancy expense declined
$326,000, or 4.0% and equipment expense increased $119,000 or 1.4% compared to
the previous year. Intangible asset amortization increased $3,085,000 in 1995
compared with 1994 as a result of the February 28, 1995 acquisition which added
$59.2 million to the Corporation's cost-in-excess of the fair value of
identifiable net assets acquired.
Stationery and supplies, postage and delivery, advertising and public
relations and consulting and other professional fee expenses reflect increases
related to the ongoing costs associated with the acquired banks as well as one
time acquisition and conversion costs. During the second and third quarters of
1995, the Corporation completed all system integration and conversions for the
acquired banks to operate within Citizens' corporate systems. This conversion
allowed the Corporation to realize cost savings from the consolidated operating
systems beginning in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Excluding the impact of the acquired banks, bankcard processing expense
declined $2,882,000 or 50.3% as compared to 1994, primarily due to the
discontinuance of the Travel Banking product line in early 1995 which had
previously generated significant amounts of interchange and other bankcard
expense. Other loan fees and the "other" component of noninterest expense
increased due to expense associated with the acquired banks.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $12,805,000 in 1995, an increase of 24.4% over the
1994 total of $10,292,000. The increase was due to higher pre-tax earnings and
lower tax-exempt interest income in 1995 as compared to 1994.

BALANCE SHEET
Proper management of the volume and composition of the Corporation's
earning assets and funding sources is essential for ensuring strong and
consistent earnings performance, maintaining adequate liquidity and limiting
exposure to risks caused by changing market conditions. The Corporation's
investment security portfolio is structured to provide a source of liquidity
through maturities and generate an income stream with relatively low levels of
principal risk. The Corporation does not engage in active securities trading.
Loans comprise the largest component of earning assets and presently are the
Corporation's highest yielding assets. Customer deposits are the primary
source of funding for earning assets while short-term debt and other managed
sources of funds are utilized as market conditions and liquidity needs change.
The Corporation's total assets averaged $3.280 billion for 1995, up $569
million from 1994, primarily due to the purchase of the acquired banks at the
close of business on February 28, 1995. The ratio of average earning assets to
total average assets during 1995 was 91.6%, compared to 92.2% for 1994. The
slight decline reflects an increase in intangible asset balances resulting from
the acquisition. Average loans and leases comprised 70.2% of total assets
during 1995, up from 66.3% in 1994. The ratio of average noninterest-bearing
deposits to total deposits remained unchanged from 1994. Interest-bearing
deposits comprised 90.0% of total average interest-bearing liabilities during
1995, down from 92.6% in 1994. Average long-term debt increased $94 million to
4.1% of average interest-bearing liabilities as a result of the acquisition.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND
MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
Total investment securities, including money market investments, comprised
23.3% of total average earning assets in 1995, down from 28.1% in 1994. The
decrease in investment securities occurred as proceeds from maturities were
used to fund loan growth and maintain liquidity. A summary of average
investment security balances during 1995 and 1994 follows:

securities
Average total investment in U.S. Treasury securities comprised 35.9 % of
average total investment securities during 1995, decreasing slightly from 36.0%
in 1994. Average Federal agency mortgage-backed securities, primarily
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's"), decreased 19.5% in 1995 as
proceeds from principal repayments were reinvested in other securities and
money market investments and utilized to fund loan growth. The Corporation
continues to invest in U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities which offer
increased creditworthiness and liquidity compared with privately issued CMO's.
Total state and municipal securities comprised 38.2% of total average
investment securities during 1995 compared with 40.7% in 1994. Average
tax-exempt state and municipal securities decreased 15.7% from 1994. Purchases
of these securities remain dependent on the Corporation's capacity for
tax-exempt income.
Other securities consisting of Federal Reserve stock, privately issued
CMO's and asset backed securities increased 62.1% primarily due to securities
acquired as part of the February 28, 1995 acquisition.

Money market investments, primarily federal funds sold and term federal
funds sold, averaged $126.2 million in 1995, up 136.0% from $53.5 million in

and anticipated interest rate environment, liquidity needs and other economic
factors.
The Corporation's present policies with respect to the classification of
investments in debt and equity securities are discussed in Note 1 to the

As of December 31, 1995, the estimated aggregate fair value of the
Corporation's investment securities portfolio was $5.4 million above amortized
cost. At December 31, 1995 gross unrealized gains were $6.9 million and gross
unrealized losses were $1.5 million. A summary of estimated fair values and
unrealized gains and losses for the major components of the investment
securities portfolio is provided in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In December 1994, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments
and Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 119"). This Statement defines
a derivative as a future, forward, swap, option contract or other financial
instrument with similar characteristics. The Statement requires expanded
disclosures about these types of financial instruments. The Corporation does
not invest in derivatives or related types of financial instruments except for
Federal agency collateralized mortgage obligations and, therefore, the adoption
of this Statement did not have a material effect. The Corporation's policy
only allows the purchase of collateralized mortgage obligations that are
composed of mortgage backed securities issued by a Federal Agency. Any CMO's
purchased are in early tranches with short average lives. These tranches are
classified in the Planned Amortization Class and have well-defined prepayment
assumptions (Super PAC's). The Corporation's CMO's are periodically tested to
ensure compliance with guidelines established by the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council.
LOANS AND LEASES
The Corporation extends credit primarily within the local markets of its seven
bank subsidiaries. These natural geographic concentrations extend along the
Interstate 75 corridor within the State of Michigan from northern suburban
Detroit to the greater Grayling/Gaylord area, as well as the western suburban
market of Chicago, Illinois. During 1995, the Corporation expanded its market
presence
66
<PAGE> 13
with the purchase of the acquired banks. These new locations in East Lansing,
Fenton, Sturgis and Ypsilanti give the Corporation opportunities within the
western suburban Detroit, central and southwestern Michigan market areas. The
Corporation's loan portfolio is widely diversified by borrowers with no
concentration within a single industry that exceeds 10% of total loans. The
Corporation's loan portfolio balances are summarized in Table 6.
Total average loans and leases comprised 76.7% of total average earning
assets during 1995 compared with 71.9% during 1994. As the economy continued
to expand in 1995, the Corporation experienced greater loan demand with total
average loans increasing 28.1% (3.0% excluding the acquired banks). This
growth occurred in all major loan categories except the lease financing
portfolio.
The majority of loan growth occurred as a result of the February 28, 1995
acquisition. Consumer installment loans represent the most significant
component of the acquired banks' loan portfolio. Increased demand for
business loans in the Corporation's local markets and improved economic
conditions modestly expanded the commercial and commercial real estate loan
portfolio 19.3% (3.4% excluding the acquired banks) in 1995 from 1994 levels.
Average consumer loan balances increased to $900.1 million in 1995 from $569.4
million, or 58.1% (7.0% excluding the acquired banks). Average mortgage loan
balances increased $46.4 million or 11.9% in 1995, from $389.7 million in 1994
(1.9% excluding the acquired banks).
In May 1995, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 122
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". The Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 65 to require mortgage banking related companies to recognize as
a separate asset the rights to service mortgage loans for others regardless of
how those servicing rights are acquired. This may be through purchase or
origination of the mortgage loans. The Statement is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Corporation will adopt the Statement
January 1, 1996. The impact of adoption on the Corporation is not expected to
be material.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
A five year history of nonperforming assets is presented in Table 7. Total
nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days past due and
still accruing, restructured loans and other real estate, amounted to $21.1
million as of December 31, 1995, a decrease of 3.7% from the year-end 1994
total of $21.9 million. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans
declined significantly to 0.81% at December 31, 1995 from 1.09% on December 31,
1995, a decrease of 25.7%. The decline resulted from the Corporation's
continued management of loan portfolio quality and favorable economic
conditions. In addition, during 1995 consumer installment loan balances (which
historically contain lower levels of nonperforming loans) grew at a faster rate
than other segments of the portfolio, reflecting the retail orientation of the
acquired banks.
The consumer installment portfolio is composed of automobile, personal,
marine, home equity and bankcard loans of which automobile and home equity
comprise 66.7% of the 1995 average balances. One to four family residential
home loans comprise the majority of the real estate mortgage balances. The
Corporation's commercial real estate portfolio represents 14.0% of total loans
at December 31, 1995 compared to 15.8% at year end 1994. Within this portfolio,
nonperforming loans represented 16.4% of total nonperforming loans at December
31, 1995 compared with 18.7% at December 31, 1994. Management believes the
risk of loss on such nonaccrual loans is significantly less than the total
principal balance, due to the nature of the underlying collateral. These loans
are generally for owner-occupied properties and do not rely on the performance
of the real estate market to generate funds for repayment. The Corporation
maintains formal policies and procedures to control and monitor credit risk
within these portfolios. Based upon present information, management believes
the allowance for loan losses is adequate to meet presently known credit risks.

(1) Nonperforming loans include loans on which interest is being recognized
only upon receipt (nonaccrual), those on which interest has been
renegotiated to lower than market rates because of the financial condition
of the borrowers (restructured), and loans 90 days past due and still
accruing.
(2) Gross interest income that would have been recorded in 1995 for
nonaccrual and restructured loans, as of December 31, 1995, assuming
interest had been accrued throughout the year in accordance with original
terms was $2.509 million. The comparable 1994 and 1993 totals were $1.879
million, and $1.589 million, respectively. Interest collected on these
loans and included in income was $1.427 million in 1995, $1.128 million in
1994 and $0.697 million in 1993. Therefore, on a net basis, total income
foregone due to these loans was $1.082 million in 1995, $0.751 million in
1994 and $0.892 million in 1993.
(3) Assets in-substance foreclosed previously reported as other real estate
were reclassified as nonaccrual loans in the fourth quarter of 1993.
Assets in-substance foreclosed totaled $0 at December 31, 1995; $0.021
million at December 31, 1994; $1.720 million at December 31, 1993; $2.983
million at December 31, 1992 and $4.302 million at December 31, 1991.
(4) 1995 and 1994 nonperforming commercial real estate loan balances have
been reclassified into the nonperforming commercial loan category.
Previous years' balances have not been reclassified.
(5) In 1995, loans 90 days past due and still accruing were reclassified as
nonperforming loans. All prior year information was restated.
The Corporation changed its nonperforming asset policy in the third
quarter of 1995 to include loans 90 days past due and still accruing in the
nonperforming asset category. Previously these loans were considered
underperforming assets. All nonperforming asset disclosures have been adjusted
to reflect this change. The change did not materially impact the percentage of
nonperforming loans to total loans.
The level and composition of nonperforming assets are affected by economic
conditions in the Corporation's local markets. Nonperforming assets,
charge-offs and provisions for loan losses tend to decline in a strong economy
and increase in a weak economy, potentially impacting the Corporation's
results. In addition to nonperforming loans, management carefully monitors
other credits that are current in terms of principal and interest payments but,
in management's opinion, may deteriorate in quality if economic conditions
change. As of December 31, 1995, such loans amounted to $10.8 million or 0.5%
of total loans compared with $15.3 million or 0.8% of total loans as of
December 31, 1994. These loans are primarily commercial and commercial real
estate loans made in the normal course of business and do not represent a
concentration in any one industry. Collectively, these loans and the
nonperforming assets in Table 7 represent 1.32% of total loans as of December
31, 1995 compared with 2.0% as of December 31, 1994.

The allocations of the allowance for loan losses in the above table are based
upon ranges of estimates and are not intended to imply either limitations on
the usage of the allowance or precision of the specific amounts. The
Corporation and its subsidiaries do not view the allowance for loan losses as
being divisible among the various categories of loans. The entire allowance is
available to absorb any future losses without regard to the category or
categories in which the charged-off loans are classified.
(1) 1995 and 1994 commercial real estate loan allowance allocations are
reflected in the commercial loan category. Prior years' allowance
allocations have not been reclassified.
The Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition
and Disclosures" effective January 1, 1995. SFAS 114 requires creditors to
establish a valuation allowance for impaired loans. A loan is considered
impaired when management determines it is probable that all the principal and
interest due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.
The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable
market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. The adoption of the Statements did not have a material effect on
the Corporation's financial position or results of operations, nor did it
result in additional provisions for loan losses as the Corporation has
historically established valuation allowances based on the fair value of
collateral securing an impaired loan. In addition, as permitted by SFAS 118,
interest income on impaired loans continues to be recognized in a manner
consistent with prior income recognition policies. For all impaired loans,
other than nonaccrual loans, interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Interest income on impaired nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis.
Certain of the Corporation's nonperforming loans included in Table 7 are
considered to be impaired under the Statements. The Corporation measures
impairment on all large balance nonaccrual commercial and commercial real
estate loans. Certain large balance accruing loans rated substandard or worse
are also measured for impairment. In most instances, impairment is measured
based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment losses are
included in the provision for loan losses. SFAS 114 does not apply to large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment, except for those loans restructured under a troubled debt
restructuring. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include certain
smaller balance commercial loans, consumer loans, residential real estate
loans, and credit card loans, and are not included in the impaired loan data in
the following paragraph.
At December 31, 1995, loans considered to be impaired under the Statements
totaled $16.6 million (of which $10.1 million were on a nonaccrual basis).
Included within this amount is $4.7 million of impaired loans for which the
related allowance for loan losses is $0.8 million and $11.9 million of impaired
loans for which the fair value exceeded the recorded investment in the loan.
The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended
December 31, 1995 was approximately $19.9 million. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Corporation recognized interest income of $1.5 million
which included $0.8 million of interest income recognized using the cash basis
method of income recognition.
The Corporation maintains policies and procedures to identify and monitor
nonaccrual loans. A loan (including a loan impaired under the Statements) is
placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt regarding collection of
principal or interest, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or
more and the loan is not well secured and in the process of collection.
Interest accrued but not collected is reversed and charged against income when
the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.
Other real estate owned is comprised of property acquired through a
foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of
69
<PAGE> 16
a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and loans classified as in-substance foreclosure.
In accordance with the Statements, a loan is classified as in-substance
foreclosure when the Corporation has taken possession of the collateral
regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place. Loans
previously classified as in-substance foreclosure but for which the Corporation
has not taken possession of the collateral are classified in loans. Therefore,
these Statements had no effect in 1995 since the Corporation's policy on
in-substance foreclosed assets had been previously amended in 1993 to comply
with new regulatory guidelines.
During 1995, each of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries received a
normally scheduled examination by its governing regulatory agency. There was
no material reclassification of assets as nonperforming resulting from these
examinations.

DEPOSITS
The Corporation's average deposit balances and rates for the past three years
are summarized in Table 9. Total average deposits were 19.5% higher in 1995
compared with 1994, due to the acquired banks. The Corporation experienced
increases in all deposit categories. As a result of customer preferences,
deposits continued shifting from savings to time deposits during 1995, with
savings balances remaining virtually unchanged despite the effect of the
acquired banks. Noninterest-bearing demand accounts accounted for 16.7% of
total average deposits during 1995, unchanged from 1994. As of December 31,
1995, certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more comprised approximately 7.6%
of total deposits compared with 5.0% as of December 31, 1994. The maturities
of these deposits are summarized in Table 10.

The Corporation gathers deposits primarily from the local markets of its
banking subsidiaries and does not rely on brokered deposits. Management
continues to promote core deposit growth and stability through focused
marketing efforts and competitive pricing strategies.
BORROWED FUNDS
Total short-term borrowings, primarily federal funds purchased, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and Treasury Tax and Loan notes, averaged $146.0
million or 5.8% of total average interest-bearing liabilities during 1995
compared with $141.2 million or 6.9% during 1994. Long-term debt accounted for
$102.8 million or 4.1% of average interest-bearing funds during 1995,
increasing from $8.7 million or 0.4% in 1994. To finance the acquisition of
the acquired banks, the Corporation's Parent company obtained a $115 million
seven year amortizing revolving credit facility. $75 million of the revolving
credit facility is currently priced at a fixed rate of 7.65%. Of this amount,
$16.5 million reprices in March 1996, $51.5 million in March 1997 and $7
million in March 1998. The remaining $23.5 million outstanding has an interest
rate based on a LIBOR index. The debt agreement allows the Corporation to
prepay the debt without penalty subject to certain restrictions. The Parent
company services the debt's principal and interest payments with dividends from
the subsidiary banks. The agreement also requires the Corporation to maintain
certain financial covenants. The Corporation is in full compliance with all
debt covenants as of December 31, 1995. In addition, $4.6 million of long-term
debt of the acquired banks was assumed by the Corporation as part of the
acquisition. A summary of long-term debt balances as of December 31, 1995 and
1994 appears in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management closely monitors capital levels to provide for current and future
business needs and to comply with regulatory requirements. All bank
subsidiaries within the Corporation have sufficient capital to maintain a "well
capitalized" designation, (the FDIC's highest rating). As summarized below, the
Corporation's capital ratios were in excess of regulatory requirements.

The Corporation declared cash dividends of $0.90 per share in 1995, an
increase of 9.8% over 1994 dividends of $0.82 per share. Citizens Banking
Corporation or its predecessor, Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank, have paid
dividends every year since 1892 except for several years during the depression
of the 1930's.
The Corporation maintains a stock repurchase program initiated in November
1987. During 1995, no shares were purchased under this program. A total of
1,132,470 shares have been purchased under this program at an average price of
$14.31 per share.
LIQUIDITY AND DEBT CAPACITY
The liquidity position of the Corporation is monitored for each subsidiary
and the Parent company to ensure that funds are available at a reasonable cost
to meet financial commitments and to finance business expansion. The
Corporation's subsidiary banks derive liquidity primarily through core deposit
growth and maturity of money market investments, investment securities and
loans. Additionally, the Corporation's subsidiary banks have access to market
borrowing sources on an unsecured, as well as a collateralized basis, for
short-term purposes. Management has not had to rely on borrowings from the
Federal Reserve or the sale of investment securities to meet liquidity
requirements. Another source of liquidity is the ability of the Corporation's
Parent company to borrow funds on both a short-term and long-term basis.
Various techniques are used by the Corporation to measure liquidity,
including ratio analysis. Some ratios monitored by the Corporation include:
loans to deposits; short-term investments to volatile liabilities (including
short-term debt and large denomination certificates of deposit); and liquid
assets (cash, U.S. Treasury securities and short-term investments) to total
deposits. The ratios are summarized below for the last three years.
<TABLE>

Short-term investments to

Liquid assets to total deposits 18.2 19.7 18.6
</TABLE>
The subsidiary banks manage liquidity to meet customer cash flow needs
while maintaining funds available for investment opportunities. As discussed
in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Federal Reserve Bank
requires the Corporation's banking subsidiaries to maintain certain
noninterest-bearing deposits. The balances averaged $41.2 million and $36.2
million during 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The liquidity of the Parent company is managed to provide funds to pay
dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries and to satisfy
other operating requirements. The Parent company's primary source of liquidity
is dividends from its subsidiaries. During 1995, the Parent company received
$24.4 million in dividends from subsidiaries and paid $12.8 million in
dividends to its shareholders. As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, $23.2 million was available as of January 1, 1996 for
payment to the Parent company as dividends by the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries without further regulatory approval. Amounts earned by
subsidiaries in 1996 may also become available for such dividend payments.
Additional amounts may be available for payment subject to regulatory approval.
On October 20, 1995, the Corporation announced the consolidation of its
six Michigan chartered banks into one bank called Citizens Bank. The
consolidation will further streamline operations and reduce certain costs but
will retain local management and respective boards of directors. The
consolidation is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be
completed in June 1996. This consolidation will likely result in maintaining
additional non-interest bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank and may
favorably impact the ability of the surviving entity to pay dividends to the
Parent company without further regulatory approval.
The Corporation's long-term debt to equity ratio was 35.5% as of December
31, 1995 compared with 2.0% as of December 31, 1994. Increases in long-term
debt during 1995 are discussed in the section titled "Borrowed Funds".
Management believes that the Corporation has sufficient liquidity to meet
presently known cash flow requirements arising from ongoing business
transactions.

<PAGE> 18
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk generally arises when the maturity or repricing
structure of the Corporation's assets and liabilities differs significantly.
Asset/liability management, which among other things addresses such risk, is
the process of developing, testing and implementing strategies that seek to
maximize net interest income, maintain sufficient liquidity and minimize
exposure to significant changes in interest rates. This process includes
monitoring contractual and expected repricing of assets and liabilities as well
as forecasting earnings under different interest rate scenarios and balance
sheet structures. Generally, management seeks a structure that insulates net
interest income from large swings attributable to changes in market interest
rates. Table 11 depicts the Corporation's asset/liability static sensitivity
("GAP") as of December 31, 1995.

(1) GAP is the excess of rate sensitive assets (liabilities).
(2) Includes interest bearing savings and demand deposits of $394 million in
the less than one year category and $832 million in the over one year
category. This runoff is based on historical trends, which reflects
industry standards.
As shown, the Corporation had an asset sensitive position (more rate
sensitive assets than rate sensitive liabilities) of $203.6 million within the
one-year time frame. This position suggests that the Corporation has the
potential to earn higher net interest income during the next twelve months if
market interest rates were to rise. Conversely, if interest rates continue to
decline, the Corporation may experience a decrease in net interest income.
However, management is continually reviewing its interest rate risk position
and modifying its strategies based on projections to minimize the impact of
future interest rate declines. Traditional GAP analysis does not, however,
incorporate adjustments for the magnitude or timing of noncontractual
repricing. Because of these and other inherent limitations of GAP analysis,
management also utilizes simulation modeling to evaluate the impact of changes
in interest rates and balance sheet strategies. Management uses these
simulations to develop strategies that can limit interest rate risk and provide
liquidity to meet customer loan demand and deposit preferences.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution
are monetary. Therefore, inflation generally has a less significant impact on
financial institutions than fluctuations in market interest rates. Inflation
can lead to accelerated growth in noninterest expenses, which can adversely
impact results of operations. Additionally, inflation may impact the rate of
deposit growth and necessitate increased growth in equity to maintain a strong
capital position. Management believes the most significant impact on financial
results is the Corporation's ability to respond to changes in interest rates.

Citizens Banking Corporation earned $29,414,000 or $2.03 per fully diluted
share during 1994 compared with $25,770,000 or $1.88 per share in 1993. 1994
reflected a 14.1% increase in net income as compared with 1993. Return on
assets improved 6.9% from 1.02% in 1993 to 1.09% in 1994.
Overall, the increase in net income in 1994 reflects improvement in net
interest income, noninterest income and a reduction in the provision for loan
losses offset, in part, by increases in noninterest expense and income taxes.
The October 1, 1993 acquisition of National Bank of Royal Oak ("NBRO") by the
Corporation affects the comparison between 1994 and 1993. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the Corporation's net income
reflects three months of financial results for 1993 and a full year for 1994.
Net interest income for 1994 was $118,400,000, an increase of 13.5% over
1993 net interest income of $104,334,000. This increase resulted from a higher
level of earning assets, primarily due to the acquisition of NBRO. Yields on
assets increased slightly between 1994 and 1993. However, rates paid on
funding sources continued to decline in 1994. As a result, the net interest
margin increased to 4.99% in 1994, a 25 basis point improvement over 1993.
The provision for loan losses decreased to $5,303,000 in 1994 compared
with $5,597,000 in 1993 as a result of lower net loan charge-offs and improved
economic conditions. Net loan charge-offs were 0.17% of average total loans in
1994, down from 0.25% in 1993. As of December 31, 1994, the ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to net charge-offs improved to 7.9 times compared
with 5.5 times as of December 31, 1993.
Noninterest income in 1994 increased $2,639,000 or 8.5% over the 1993
levels. This increase resulted from the NBRO acquisition and higher trust fee
income and bankcard fee income. 1994 results for NBRO reflect $3,623,000 of
noninterest income for merchant discount and other bankcard fee income
primarily from the Travel Banking product line. Other loan income declined
$345,000 in 1994 compared with 1993, the result of lower gains on the sale of
mortgage loans into the secondary market and lower mortgage servicing fees.
The Corporation also realized net gains on the sale of securities of $157,000
during 1994 compared with $763,000 in 1993.
Noninterest expense was up $9,977,000 or 10.3% in 1994 of which $9,205,000
resulted from the acquisition of NBRO. Compensation expense, excluding NBRO
decreased 0.4% in 1994 compared with 1993. This decline was primarily due to
continued health care cost containment and a reduction in the number of
full-time equivalent employees through normal attrition. Excluding NBRO,
consulting fees increased 12.3% in 1994 compared with 1993 due to Corporate
automation and reengineering project costs. Excluding the results of NBRO,
bankcard interchange fees increased because of higher merchant transaction
levels. Interchange and other bankcard fees for NBRO totaled $3,797,000 in
1994 versus $911,000 in 1993. These fees primarily reflect the Travel Banking
product line transactions. In 1994 NBRO also incurred a one-time charge of
$1,500,000 related to the Travel Banking product line. Subsequent to 1994,
this product line was discontinued.
Income tax expense for 1994 increased 48.9% compared with 1993. This
increase resulted from higher pretax earnings combined with lower tax-exempt
interest income. The adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" by the Corporation effective
January 1, 1993 had no material effect on the results of operations or
financial position of the Corporation.
The Corporation had total average assets of $2.711 billion in 1994, up
from 1993 average assets of $2.535 billion, primarily due to the acquisition
of NBRO. Average loans and leases comprised 71.9% of total earning assets in
1994, up from 70.0% in 1993. Much of this growth occurred in the consumer and
commercial loan portfolios due to improved economic conditions and the
acquisition of NBRO. Average money market investment balances, primarily
federal funds sold and Eurodollar time deposits were virtually unchanged from
1993 levels. As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Corporation adopted SFAS 115 and classified all of its investment portfolio
in the available-for-sale category as of January 1, 1994.
Total average deposits were 7.2% higher in 1994 compared with 1993,
primarily due to the acquisition of NBRO. The Corporation experienced
increases in all deposit categories. As a result of customer preferences,
deposit balances continued to shift from time to savings and demand accounts in
1994 as noted by average time deposits remaining nearly unchanged despite the
NBRO acquisition. Average short-term borrowings, comprised primarily of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, decreased slightly to 6.9% of
average interest-bearing liabilities in 1994 compared with 7.1% in 1993.
Average long-term debt balances declined to $8.7 million in 1994 from $13.1
million in 1993 due to scheduled principal payments. Average shareholders'
equity was $256.6 million at December 31, 1994, an 11.0% increase over the 1993
average of $231.2 million.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of Citizens Banking Corporation
("Corporation") and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting
principles. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from these estimates. The following describes the Corporation's
policies:
CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany
transactions and accounts.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" requires securities to be classified
as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Only those securities
classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost, with those
available-for-sale and trading reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses included in shareholders' equity or income, respectively. The
Corporation adopted this Statement effective January 1, 1994 and classified all
of its investment portfolio in the available-for-sale category. Prior to
adoption, all securities were classified in a single portfolio accounted for at
amortized cost. In the event that an investment security is sold, the adjusted
cost of the specific security sold is used to compute the applicable gain or
loss. See also Note 3.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management
to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's
evaluation is based on a continuing review of the loan portfolio and includes
consideration of actual loss experience, the financial condition of borrowers,
the size and composition of the loan portfolio, current and anticipated
economic conditions and other pertinent factors. The allowance is increased by
the provision charged to income and recoveries of loans previously charged off
and reduced by loans charged off.
The Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition
and Disclosures" effective January 1, 1995. The statements require creditors
to establish a valuation allowance for impaired loans. A loan is considered
impaired when management determines it is probable that all the principal and
interest due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.
The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable
market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Prior to 1995, the allowance for loan losses related to these loans
was based on the undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral
for collateral dependent loans.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are carried at cost
less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization
are computed principally on a straight-line basis and are charged to expense
over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the assets or lease term.
Maintenance and repairs as well as gains and losses on dispositions are charged
to expense as incurred.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Other real estate includes properties acquired in satisfaction of a debt.
These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, net of
estimated costs to sell, based upon current appraised value. Losses arising
from the acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for
loan losses. Subsequent valuation adjustments and gains or losses on disposal
of these properties are charged to other expenses as incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill, the unamortized cost of acquiring subsidiaries in excess of the fair
value of identifiable net assets at the date acquired, is amortized on a
straight line basis over 15 years. The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed
if the facts and information supporting the initially recorded amount changes.
If the review indicates that impairment may exist, the current carrying amount
is reduced by the estimated shortfall.
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return. Income tax expense is based on income as reported in the Consolidated
Statements of income. When income and expenses are recognized
79
<PAGE> 26
in different periods for tax purposes, applicable deferred taxes are provided
in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
LOAN INTEREST AND FEE INCOME
Interest on loans is generally accrued and credited to income based upon the
principal amount outstanding. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when
collectibility of principal or interest is considered doubtful, or payment of
principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not well
secured and in the process of collection. When these loans (including a loan
impaired under SFAS 114) are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest
previously accrued but unpaid is reversed against current year interest income.
Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are credited to income if
future collection of principal is probable. Loans are normally restored to
accrual status when interest and principal payments are current and it is
believed that the financial condition of the borrower has improved to the
extent that future principal and interest payments will be met on a timely
basis.
Loan origination fee income, net of direct origination costs and certain
incremental direct costs, is deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over
the estimated term of the related loans by methods that approximate the level
yield method. Loan fees on unused commitments and fees related to loans sold
are recognized currently as other income.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Primary and fully diluted net income per share are computed based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding in each period and dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding in each period. Common stock equivalents
consist of common stock issuable under the assumed exercise of stock options
granted under the Corporation's stock option plans, using the treasury stock
method. The weighted average number of shares has been adjusted for a
two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a dividend paid May 12, 1993 to
shareholders of record on April 30, 1993.
CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand and amounts due from banks.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
At the close of business on February 28, 1995, the Corporation purchased
the four Michigan affiliates of Banc One Corporation, located in East Lansing,
Fenton, Sturgis and Ypsilanti, for $115 million in cash. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase and the four banks ("acquired banks") were merged
into Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank headquartered in Flint, Michigan
effective immediately after the acquisition. Total assets acquired of $670
million included net loans of $532 million, investment securities and money
market investments of $57 million and deposits of $541 million.
Cost-in-excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired was $59.2
million and is being amortized over 15 years. The 1995 results reflect ten
months of operations for the four acquired banks. The unaudited pro-forma
combined operating results of the Corporation and the four banks, assuming the
acquisition was consummated on January 1, 1994, are as follows:

On October 1, 1993, the Corporation purchased Royal Bank Group, Inc. and
its subsidiary, National Bank of Royal Oak ("NBRO"), which is located in
Oakland County, Michigan. All of the outstanding common shares of Royal Bank
Group, Inc. were exchanged for 1,073,053 shares of common stock of the
Corporation and $207,000 in cash. Concurrent with the acquisition, Royal Bank
Group, Inc. was dissolved and its subsidiary, NBRO, transferred to the
Corporation. Total assets acquired of $208 million included net loans of $126
million, investment securities and money market investments of $53 million, and
deposits of $181 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements include NBRO's results of
operations from the date of acquisition. Cost in excess of the fair value of
identifiable net assets acquired was $9.7 million and is being amortized over
15 years.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities". The Statement requires the Corporation to classify
securities into one of three categories based on its intent and ability to hold
the investments. These categories include: held-to-maturity (securities that
the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity),
trading (securities bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in
the near future) and available-for-sale (securities not classified in either of
the two other categories). At adoption the Corporation classified all of its
investment portfolio in the available-for-sale category. Securities classified
as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with the unrealized gain or
loss reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Adoption
increased shareholders' equity on January 1, 1994 by $6.6 million after
deferred taxes of $3.5 million.
In December 1994, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments
and Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 119"). This Statement defines
a derivative as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial
instrument with similar characteristics. The Statement requires expanded
disclosures about these types of financial instruments. The Corporation does
not invest in derivatives or related types of financial instruments except for
Federal agency collateralized mortgage obligations and, therefore, the adoption
of the Statement did not have a material effect. The Corporation's policy only
allows the purchase of collateralized mortgage obligations that are composed of
mortgage backed securities issued by a Federal Agency. Any CMO's purchased are
in early tranches with short average lives. These tranches are classified in
the Planned Amortization Class and have well-defined prepayment assumptions
(Super PAC's). The Corporation's CMO's are periodically tested to ensure
compliance with guidelines established by the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council.
Securities with amortized cost of $278.2 million at December 31, 1995, and
$260.5 million at December 31, 1994, were pledged to secure public deposits,
repurchase agreements, and other liabilities. Except for obligations of the
U.S. Government and its agencies, no holdings of securities of any single
issuer exceeded 10% of consolidated shareholders' equity at December 31, 1995
or 1994.

NOTE 4. LOANS AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS
The Corporation extends credit primarily within the local markets of its
seven bank subsidiaries. These natural geographic concentrations extend along
the Interstate 75 corridor within the State of Michigan from northern suburban
Detroit to the greater Grayling/Gaylord area, as well as the western suburban
market of Chicago, Illinois. During 1995, the Corporation expanded its market
presence into East Lansing, Fenton, Sturgis and Ypsilanti. This expands the
Corporation's opportunities within the western Detroit, central and
southwestern Michigan market areas. The Corporation has limited its credit risk
by establishing guidelines to review its aggregate outstanding commitments and
loans to particular borrowers, industries and geographic areas. Collateral is
secured based on the nature of the credit and management's credit assessment of
the customer.
The loan portfolio is widely diversified by borrowers and industry groups
with no single concentration exceeding 10% of total loans. The Corporation has
no loans to foreign countries and generally does not participate in large
national loan syndications or highly leveraged transactions. Most of the
Corporation's commercial real estate loans consist of mortgages on
owner-occupied properties. Those borrowers are involved in business activities
other than real estate, and the sources of repayment are not dependent on the
performance of the real estate market.
The Corporation changed its nonperforming asset policy in the third
quarter of 1995 to include loans 90 days past due and still accruing in the
nonperforming asset category. Previously these loans were considered
underperforming assets. All nonperforming asset disclosures have been adjusted
to reflect this change. A summary of nonperforming assets follows:

There are no significant commitments outstanding to lend additional funds
to customers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or restructured at
December 31, 1995.
At December 31, 1995, loans considered to be impaired totaled $16.6
million (of which $10.1 million were on a nonaccrual basis). Included within
this amount is $4.7 million of impaired loans for which the related allowance
for loan losses is $0.8 million and $11.9 million of impaired loans for which
the fair value exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. The average
recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1995
was approximately $19.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Corporation recognized interest income of $1.5 million which included $0.8
million of interest income recognized using the cash basis method of income
recognition.
Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and its
significant subsidiaries, including their families and entities in which they
have 10% or more ownership, were customers of the banking subsidiaries. Total
loans to these customers aggregated $11.2 million and $12.4 million at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1995, new loans of $13.0 million were
made and repayments totaled $14.2 million. All such loans were made in the
ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest
rates and collateral, as those for comparable transactions with unrelated
parties and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility.

The floating rate term note maturing in October 1997 is payable in equal
annual principal payments through October 1997. Interest is payable quarterly
at a rate selected by the Corporation from certain indices available under the
agreement. At December 31, 1995, the rate was 5.28%.
To finance the acquisition of the acquired banks, the Corporation's Parent
company obtained a $115 million seven year amortizing revolving credit
facility. The revolving credit facility, maturing December 2001, is payable in
annual payments of $16.5 million with a final payment of $16 million. The
revolving credit facility is currently comprised of $75 million at a fixed rate
of 7.65%. Of this amount, $16.5 million reprices in March 1996, $51.5 million
in March 1997 and $7 million in March 1998. The remaining $23.5 million
outstanding has an interest rate based on a LIBOR index. Currently $20 million
is priced at a rate of 6.24% and $3.5 million is priced at a rate of 6.36%.
Interest is payable quarterly. The
83
<PAGE> 30
Parent company services the debt's principal and interest payments with
dividends from the subsidiary banks. The agreement also requires the
Corporation to maintain certain financial covenants. The Corporation is in
full compliance with all debt covenents as of December 31, 1995.
The subordinated debt was assumed by the Corporation as part of the
acquisition. The total subordinated debt is payable on April 15, 2003.
Interest is payable semiannually at a fixed rate of 6.72%. Other subsidiary
debt also assumed as part of the acquisition consists of an EDC mortgage due
April 1, 2002. Interest is payable monthly at an interest rate of 75% of the
prime rate.
Nonrecourse lease financing represents borrowings from unaffiliated
lenders against future lease payments. In the event of default by a lessee,
the lender has security in the underlying leased equipment and has no further
recourse against the Corporation. On December 31, 1995, nonrecourse lease
financing notes were at fixed rates of interest of 9.75% and were amortized
with equal monthly payments. Maturities of long-term debt during the next five
years follow:

PENSION PLANS
The Corporation maintains a qualified defined benefit plan covering
substantially all full-time employees. Under the plan, benefits are based on
the employee's length of service and average compensation during the highest
consecutive 60 month period out of the final 120 months preceding retirement.
The Corporation's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount sufficient
to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as the Corporation
may determine to be appropriate. Contributions are intended to provide for
benefits attributed to past service and for benefits expected to be earned in
the future.
The funded status and amounts recognized in the Corporation's Consolidated
Balance Sheets for the qualified defined benefit plan follow:

The Corporation also maintains unfunded supplemental benefit plans, which
are nonqualified plans providing certain officers with defined pension benefits
in excess of limits imposed by Federal tax law. At December 31, 1995, the
projected benefit obligation for these plans totaled $1.7 million, of which
$113,000 was subject to later amortization. The remaining $1.6 million is
included in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

<PAGE> 31
At December 31, 1994, the projected benefit obligation for these plans totaled
$1.4 million of which $74,000 was subject to later amortization. The remaining
$1.3 million is included in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
The Corporation maintains a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan covering
substantially all full-time employees. Under the plan, employee contributions
are partially matched by the Corporation. Effective January 1, 1993, the
employer matching contribution was increased to 75 percent of the first 6% (100
percent of the first 3% plus 50 percent of the next 3%) of each eligible
employee's base salary contributed to the plan. In addition, one third of
these matching contributions are used to fund a postretirement medical savings
account established within the plan for each contributing employee.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits." It requires, under certain circumstances, accrual of the estimated
cost of benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but
before retirement. Such benefits (referred to as postemployment benefits)
include, but are not limited to, salary continuation, supplemental unemployment
benefits, severance benefits, disability-related benefits, job training and
counseling, and continuation of benefits such as health care and life insurance
coverage. The unrecorded liability for these accrued benefits at adoption and
at year-end 1994 and 1995 was not material.
NOTE 11. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN
The Corporation maintains an unfunded postretirement defined benefit plan
offering medical and life insurance benefits. This plan, as amended effective
January 1, 1993, provides postretirement medical benefits at certain
subsidiaries to full-time employees who retire at normal retirement age, have
attained age 50 prior to January 1, 1993 and have at least 15 years of credited
service under the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan. This plan is
subject to a vesting schedule, is contributory and contains other cost-sharing
features such as deductibles and coinsurance. Retirees not meeting the above
eligibility requirements may participate in the medical benefit provided by the
plan, as amended, at their own cost. Those retired prior to January 1, 1993
receive benefits provided by the plan prior to its amendment. That plan
includes dental care, has some contribution requirements, and has less
restrictive eligibility requirements. Under either plan, life insurance is
provided to all retirees on a reducing basis for 5 years.
The following table presents the plan's unfunded status reconciled with
amounts recognized in the Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheets at December

</TABLE>
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.75% and 8.50% at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. The weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in
the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) is
9% for 1996 (10% for 1995) and is assumed to decrease 1% annually to 5% by the
year 2000 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate
assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example,
increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percent in each year
would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December
31, 1995 and 1994 by $1.0 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, and the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1995 by $84,000.

April 30, 1993. All share and per share amounts have been restated to give
effect to the split.
SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PLAN
The Corporation's Shareholders' Rights Plan is designed to provide certain
assurances that all shareholders are treated fairly in connection with certain
types of business transactions involving an attempt to acquire controlling
interest in the Corporation. Under the plan, one right attaches to each
outstanding share of common stock and represents the right to purchase from the
Corporation 1/100 of a share of a new series of preferred stock at the initial
exercise price of $37.50. The rights become exercisable only if a person or
group without Board approval announces an intention to acquire 15% or more of
the Corporation's outstanding common stock or makes a tender offer for that
amount of stock. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the right "flips in"
and becomes the right to purchase one share of common stock of the Corporation
or the surviving company at 50% of the market price. These rights are
redeemable by the Board for $0.01 per right and expire July 20, 2000. The
rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or entity attempting to
acquire the Corporation without conditioning the offer on the rights being
redeemed by the Board.
STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
The Corporation maintains a stock repurchase program initiated in November
1987. At year end 1995, this program, which has been expanded several times,
allowed for the repurchase of 1,600,000 shares. As of December 31, 1995, a
total of 1,132,470 shares have been repurchased under the program at an average
price of $14.31 per share. These shares were reissued in connection with a
purchase acquisition in October 1993 and the Corporation's stock option plan.
In 1994, shares of common stock in treasury were accorded the treatment as
if retired; however, such shares remain available for reissue. Such treatment
was made retroactively to January 1, 1993 in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

<PAGE> 33
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Corporation's stock option plan, as amended and restated in April 1992,
authorizes the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, tandem
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance share grants to key
employees. Aggregate grants under the plan may not exceed 2,000,000 shares
within any five year period and are limited annually to 3% of the Corporation's
outstanding common stock as of the first day of the year, plus any unused
shares that first become available for grants in the prior year. Stock options
outstanding under the plan were granted at a price not less than the fair
market value of the shares on the date of grant.
Replacement options may be granted upon exercise of a nonqualified stock
option by payment of the exercise price with shares of the Corporation's common
stock. A replacement option provides the employee with a new option to
purchase the number of shares surrendered at an option price equal to the fair
market value of the Corporation's common stock on the date the underlying
nonqualified stock option is exercised. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, 168,927,
114,398 and 76,417 shares, respectively, were surrendered by employees for
payment to the Corporation for stock option exercises for which an equal number
of replacement options were granted.
Options may be granted until January 16, 2002. The options terminate ten
years from the date of grant and are exercisable beginning six months from the
date of grant or for certain options, granted since April 1992, are exercisable
subject to a pre-determined option vesting schedule based on achievement of
certain return on average asset targets. Canceled or expired options become
available for future grants.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" in October 1995 and is effective for
1996 financial statements. The Corporation does not intend to adopt the
recognition provisions of the Statement but will continue accounting for stock
options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
"Accounting for Stock issued to Employees" as permitted by the new Statement.
Therefore, adoption will not materially impact the Corporation.
A summary of stock option transactions under the plan for 1993, 1994 and
1995 follows:

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect various loan
commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and letters of credit
originated in the normal course of business. Loan commitments are made to
accommodate the financial needs of customers. Generally, new loan commitments
do not extend beyond 90 days and unused lines of credit are reviewed at least
annually. Letters of credit guarantee future payment of customer financial
obligations to third parties. They are issued primarily for services provided
or to facilitate the shipment of goods, and generally expire within one year.
87
<PAGE> 34
Both arrangements have essentially the same level of credit risk as that
associated with extending loans to customers and are subject to the
Corporation's normal credit policies. Inasmuch as these arrangements generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, most expire unfunded
and do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. Collateral is
obtained based on management's assessment of the customer and may include
receivables, inventories, real property and equipment. Amounts available to
customers under loan commitments and letters of credit follow:

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation arising in
the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the aggregate

effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position.
NOTE 15. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" ("SFAS 107"). Where quoted market prices are not available, as is
the case for a significant portion of the Corporation's financial instruments,
the fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions
used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.
Accordingly, the derived fair value estimates presented herein cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts the Corporation could realize in a current market
exchange.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on- and
off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the
value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities
that are not considered financial instruments. For example, the Corporation
has a substantial trust department that contributes net fee income annually.
The trust department is not considered a financial instrument and its value has
not been incorporated into the fair value estimates. Other significant assets
and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include
the Corporation's mortgage servicing operation, brokerage network, net deferred
tax asset, premises and equipment, goodwill and deposit based intangibles. In
addition, tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and
losses such as those within the investment securities portfolio can also have a
significant effect on estimated fair values and have not been considered in the
estimates. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the
underlying value of the Corporation. The estimated fair values of the
Corporation's financial instruments follow:

88
<PAGE> 35
The various methods and assumptions used by the Corporation in estimating
fair value for its financial instruments are set forth below:
CASH AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and money market
investments approximate those assets' fair values because they mature within
six months and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES (INCLUDING MORTGAGE-BACKED AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES)
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for investment securities
approximate those assets' fair values as all investment securities are being
classified in the available-for-sale category. SFAS 115 requires securities
carried in the available-for-sale category to be carried at fair value. See
Note 3. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted
market prices of comparable instruments.
LOANS RECEIVABLE
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, commercial
real estate, residential mortgage, credit card, and other consumer. Each loan
category is further segmented into fixed and variable-rate interest types and
for certain categories by performing and nonperforming.
For performing variable-rate loans that reprice frequently (within six
months) and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on
carrying values. Similarly, for credit card loans with no significant credit
concerns and average interest rates approximating current market origination
rates, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Fair values of other loans (e.g., fixed-rate commercial, commercial real
estate, residential mortgage and other consumer loans) are estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered
by the Corporation for loans with similar terms and remaining maturities ("new
loan rates"). Management believes the risk factor embedded in the new loan
rates adequately represents the credit risk within the portfolios.
Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated after giving
consideration to credit risk and estimated cash flows and discount rates based
on available market and specific borrower information. The carrying amount of
accrued interest for all loan types approximates its fair value.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
Under SFAS 107, the fair value of demand deposits (e.g., interest and
noninterest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market
accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of
deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The
discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for certificates
of similar remaining maturities.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, securities sold under
agreement to repurchase and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair
values.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The carrying value of the Corporation's variable-rate long-term debt
approximates its fair value. The fair value of its fixed-rate long-term debt
(other than deposits) is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based
on the Corporation's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowings arrangements.
LOAN COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
The fair value of loan commitments and letter of credit guarantees is based on
fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account
the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.
89
<PAGE> 36
NOTE 16. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Federal Reserve Bank requires the Corporation's banking subsidiaries
to maintain certain noninterest-bearing deposits. These reserve balances vary
depending upon the level of customer deposits in the subsidiary banks. During
1995 and 1994, the average reserve balances were $41.2 million and $36.2
million, respectively.
The bank subsidiaries are also subject to limitations under banking laws
on extensions of credit to members of the affiliate group and on dividends that
can be paid to the Corporation. Generally extensions of credit are limited to
10% to any one affiliate and 20% in aggregate to all affiliates of a subsidiary
bank's capital and surplus (net assets) as defined. Unless prior regulatory
approval is obtained, dividends declared in any calendar year may not exceed
the retained net profit, as defined, of that year plus the retained net profit
of the preceding two years. At January 1, 1996, the bank subsidiaries could
distribute to the Corporation approximately $23.2 million in dividends without
regulatory approval. Their 1996 net income will also become available for such
dividends.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS CITIZENS BANKING CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citizens
Banking Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Citizens
Banking Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements and all other financial information appearing in this
Annual Report. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Corporation maintains a system of internal controls designed to
provide reasonable assurance that assets are safe-guarded and that the
financial records are reliable for preparing Consolidated Financial Statements.
The selection and training of qualified personnel and the establishment and
communication of accounting and administrative policies and procedures are
elements of this control system. The effectiveness of the internal control
system is monitored by a program of internal audit and by independent certified
public accountants ("independent auditors").
Management recognizes that the cost of a system of internal controls
should not exceed the benefits derived and that there are inherent limitations
to be considered in the potential effectiveness of any system. Management
believes the Corporation's system provides the appropriate balance between
costs of controls and the related benefits.
AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised entirely of
outside directors, recommends the independent auditors who are engaged upon
approval by the Board of Directors. The committee meets regularly with the
internal auditor and the independent auditors to review timing and scope of
audits and review audit reports. The internal auditor and the independent
auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report have been
audited by the Corporation's independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, for the
purpose of determining that the Consolidated Financial Statements are free of
material misstatement. Their audit considered the Corporation's internal
control structure to the extent necessary to determine the scope of their
auditing procedures.

Report of Independent Auditors
Administrative Committee
Citizens Banking Corporation Amended
and Restated Section 401(k) Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of the Citizens Banking Corporation Amended and Restated Section
401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
changes in assets available for plan benefits for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995 and the related schedule of assets held for
investment for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and schedule referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the
Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its assets available for
plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, it
is our opinion that the schedule referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein for the year ended
December 31, 1995 in compliance with the applicable accounting regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

<PAGE> 5
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of
Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995 is presented for
purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and is not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the 1995 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the 1995 financial statements taken as a
whole.

Citizens Banking Corporation Amended
and Restated Section 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Marketable investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Securities traded
on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price
on the last business day of the Plan year. Investments traded in the
over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on
that date are valued at the average of the last reported bid and ask prices.
Loans to participants represent qualifying interest-bearing loans from
individual accounts that are valued at the amount of outstanding principal.
Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the aggregate fair value of
investments represents the change in the difference between aggregate fair
value and the cost of investments. The realized gain or loss on sale of
investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the specific
cost of investments sold. Such amounts are different than the related amounts
reported on Form 5500 which are computed as the difference between the proceeds
received and the fair value at the beginning of the year as prescribed by the
Department of Labor regulations.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

and Restated Section 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Citizens Banking Corporation Amended and Restated Section 401(k) Plan
(Plan) is a defined contribution plan which includes a 401(k) salary deferral
feature. The Plan covers substantially all employees of Citizens Banking
Corporation (Corporation) and its banking subsidiaries including salaried
employees and hourly employees with over 1,000 hours of credited service. At
December 31, 1995 there were 1637 participants in the Plan. Participants may
contribute on a before-tax basis up to 15% of their annual base compensation
(not to exceed $9,240 for 1995) and on an after-tax basis up to 10% of their
base compensation. Participants may direct their contributions into either an
intermediate income, equity, balanced, money market or Citizens Banking
Corporation stock fund and may elect to change the percentage directed to each
fund quarterly. During 1993, the fixed income fund was renamed the
intermediate income fund and a new fund, the money market fund was opened.
Participants were subsequently allowed to direct contributions into each of
these funds. Furthermore, on October 1, 1993, the assets of the CNBB profit
sharing fund were transferred to the balanced fund. All participant
contributions are fully vested.
Under the Plan, the participating subsidiaries can also make employer matching
cont ributions of 100% on the first 3% and 50% on the next 3% of a
participant's base compensation (excluding bonuses, overtime and fringe
benefits actually paid for the year) such that the maximum employer matching
contributions for any such participant will be 4.5% of a participant's base
compensation. In addition, a retiree medical savings account was established
for each participant. One third of the employer matching contribution is
automatically directed into this account. Employees may not borrow against any
monies residing in the account. These matching contributions are fully vested
after three years of service or upon normal or early retirement, death or

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the
plan's assets are as follows:
<TABLE>
DECEMBER 31
1995 1994
-------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Citizens Banking Corporation, 1,059,508 and
981,043 shares of common stock in 1995 and
1994, respectively $31,520,363 $27,223,943

Harbor International Fund 5,363,484 4,046,439
</TABLE>
During 1993, the Plan began investing certain fund assets in the Golden Oak
series of mutual funds. Citizens Commercial & Savings Bank, a subsidiary of
Citizens Banking Corporation, serves as the investment advisor to these funds.
The mutual fund portfolios were established pursuant to the provisions of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Investments within these portfolios were made
in accordance with the applicable Department of Labor rules and regulations
concerning the investment of qualified plan assets into mutual funds wherein
the investment advisor to the portfolio is a party-in-interest with respect to
the plan.
4. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service ruled August 2, 1995 that the Plan qualifies under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related
trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the
Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
qualification. The Administrative Committee is not aware of any course of
action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the
Plan's qualified status.
5. BENEFIT PAYABLE
Assets available for plan benefits include amounts allocated for approved
distributions. Such balances amounted to $1,830,003 and $506,835 at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The accompanying statement of assets
available for plan benefits as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 has been
restated to eliminate the liability for such distribution. Previously, such
account balances were shown as liabilities of the Plan. Such amounts are
shown as a liability on the Plan's Form 5500.
