Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

       On October 6, 2000, M&T Bank Corporation ("M&T") consummated the merger
(the "Merger") of Keystone Financial, Inc. ("Keystone") with and into Olympia
Financial Corp. ("Olympia"), a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T, pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of May 16, 2000 among M&T, Olympia
and Keystone (the "Reorganization Agreement") and a related Agreement and Plan
of Merger also dated as of May 16, 2000 between Keystone and Olympia and joined
in by M&T (the "Merger Agreement"). Disclosure that M&T, Olympia and Keystone,
had entered into the Reorganization Agreement was previously reported by M&T
Bank in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 16, 2000.

       After application of the election, allocation and proration procedures
contained in the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Merger
consisted of 15,900,292 shares of M&T common stock and $374.4 million in cash.
The source of the cash consideration was a portion of the proceeds of an
offering of 8% Subordinated Notes due 2010 by Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company ("M&T Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympia and an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of M&T. This offering is described in Item 5 hereof. On
October 7, 2000, the total number of shares of M&T common stock outstanding,
including the shares issued in connection with the Merger, was 92,765,332, after
giving effect to a 10-for-1 split of M&T common stock on October 5, 2000.

       Following the Merger, Keystone Financial Bank, N.A. ("Keystone Bank"),
Keystone's commercial bank subsidiary, merged (the "Bank Merger") with and into
M&T Bank. As a result of the Bank Merger, M&T Bank acquired 187 banking offices
formerly operated by Keystone Bank in 31 Pennsylvania counties, three Maryland
counties and one county in West Virginia.

       Upon consummation of the Merger, Carl L. Campbell, Donald Devorris,
Daniel R. Hawbaker, Richard G. King and Stephen G. Sheetz became directors of
M&T and M&T Bank. Messrs. Campbell, Devorris and King formerly were directors of
Keystone and Keystone Bank. Messrs. Hawbaker and Sheetz formerly were directors
of Keystone Bank. In addition, Mr. Campbell, formerly Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Keystone, became a Vice Chairman of the Boards of
Directors of M&T and M&T Bank.

       The foregoing description of the Merger is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Reorganization Agreement filed as Exhibit 2 to M&T's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated May 16, 2000 and the Merger Agreement set forth as
Annex A of the Reorganization Agreement.

       M&T Bank's announcement of the consummation of the Merger was made by
means of a news release, a copy of which is set forth as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.

       Item 5. Other Events.

       On October 5, 2000, M&T Bank completed an offering of $500 million of 8%
Subordinated Notes due 2010. The Subordinated Notes were structured to qualify
as regulatory capital under federal banking laws. The proceeds will be used,

                                      -2-

among other things, to fund the cash consideration described in Item 2 hereof
and to maintain M&T Bank's "well capitalized" status for regulatory purposes
after the Merger. A copy of the press release announcing consummation of the
offering is set forth as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
