ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Frontier Financial Corporation (the "Company") has made application for
quotation of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market under the trading
symbol "FTBK". The Company has been informed that the application process
generally takes 60 to 90 days, and expects that trading will commence at the
conclusion of that process.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or
be sustained. The public trading price will be dependent on buying and selling
demand for the Company's stock and general market conditions, and there can be
no assurance that the trading price will be comparable to the prices at which
the Company's stock was bought and sold prior to being listed.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized.
