MID AM, INC. ANNOUNCES SALE OF SEVEN BRANCH OFFICES TO STAR BANK
November 22, 1996 (Bowling Green, Ohio, NASDAQ: MIAM and MIAMP)
Mid Am, Inc. announced today that it has reached a definitive
agreement with Star Bank, N.A., Cincinnati, Ohio, to sell to Star
Bank seven branch offices of AmeriFirst Bank, N.A., situated in
southwestern Ohio.
Under the terms of the agreement, Star Bank will acquire the
branch facilities and all deposit liabilities associated with
seven AmeriFirst banking centers outside of its core banking
market. The seven branches include three Cincinnati locations,
3521 Erie Avenue in the community of Hyde Park; 2298 Losantiville
Road in the community of Golf Manor; and 2458 Harrison Avenue in
the community of Westwood. The four other locations are
620 Columbus Avenue in Lebanon, Ohio; Route 63 and Main Street in
Monroe, Ohio; 9468 Montgomery Road in Montogomery, Ohio; and
1191 East Stroop Road in Kettering, Ohio.
"The sale of the banking centers is consistent with AmeriFirst
Bank's strategic effort to refocus its resources on its core
Greene County market area", stated Donald P. Southwick, President
and CEO of AmeriFirst Bank. Following the completion of the
transaction, AmeriFirst will maintain six banking centers in
Greene County and one in Warren County. "We believe that this
transaction represents a very positive repositioning move for the
bank," continued Mr. Southwick.
Mid Am expects that approximately $100 million of deposit
liabilities will be assumed by Star Bank. AmeriFirst will retain
substantially all loans associated with the branches. As a
result of the transaction, the Company anticipates that, upon
closing, it will recognize a gain of approximately $8.5 million,
subject to the appraisals of the branch facilities and the actual
level of deposit liabilities as of the closing date.
The transaction is expected to close early in the first quarter
of 1997, and is subject to certain conditions and regulatory
approvals.
Mid Am, Inc. is a $2.2 billion financial services holding
company, headquartered in Bowling Green, Ohio. Affiliates
