Item 5. Other Events.
ACQUISITION OF FNB ROCHESTER CORP. On June 1, 1999, M&T Bank
Corporation consummated the merger (the "Merger") of FNB Rochester Corp. ("FNB")
with and into Olympia Financial Corp. ("Olympia"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
M&T Bank Corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
as of December 9, 1998 by and among M&T Bank Corporation, Olympia and FNB (the
"Reorganization Agreement") and related Agreement and Plan of Merger. Disclosure
that M&T Bank Corporation, Olympia and FNB had entered into the Reorganization
Agreement was previously reported by M&T Bank Corporation in its Current Report
on Form 8-K dated December 9, 1998.
After application of the election, allocation and proration procedures
contained in the Agreement and Plan of Merger set forth as Annex A to the
Reorganization Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Merger consisted
of 122,516 shares of M&T Bank Corporation common stock and approximately $76
million in cash. On June 2, 1999, the total number of shares of M&T Bank
Corporation common stock outstanding, including the shares issued in connection
with the Merger, was 7,869,906.
Following the Merger, First National Bank of Rochester, FNB's bank
subsidiary, was merged (the "Bank Merger") with and into Manufacturers and
Traders Trust Company ("M&T Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympia. As a
result of the Bank Merger, M&T Bank acquired 17 banking offices formerly
operated by First National Bank of Rochester in upstate New York.
Upon consummation of the Merger, R. Carlos Carballada, formerly
President and Chief Executive Officer of FNB, and Michael J. Falcone, formerly
Chairman of the Board of FNB, became directors of each of M&T Bank Corporation
and M&T Bank.
The foregoing description of the Merger is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Reorganization Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to M&T Bank
Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 9, 1998.
ACQUISITION OF BRANCH OFFICES AND RELATED TRUST OPERATIONS FROM THE
CHASE MANHATTAN BANK. On June 2, 1999, M&T Bank and The Chase Manhattan Bank
("Chase") entered into an agreement providing for M&T Bank's acquisition of 29
Chase branches located in the Binghamton, Corning, Buffalo, Jamestown and
Albany/Schenectady areas of upstate New York. As a result of the branch
acquisition, M&T Bank will acquire approximately $600 million in retail and
business banking deposits, approximately $140 million in municipal balances,
approximately $40 million in loans, and portions of the trust operations
associated with the branches.
The transactions are subject to a number of conditions. M&T Bank's
assumption of the deposit liabilities, its purchase of loans and its
acquisition of certain trust operations is expected to close by the end of
