MID-PENINSULA BANCORP SHARES NOW TRADE IN NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET
Palo Alto, California.....
David L. Kalkbrenner, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced today
that on September 9, 1996, the common stock of Mid-Peninsula Bancorp began
trading in the Nasdaq National Market,. Mid-Peninsula Bancorp, whose trading
symbol is MPBK, is the holding company for Mid-Peninsula Bank, which has assets
of over $260 million and offices in Palo Alto, San Carlos and San Mateo. The
Bank specializes in delivering professional, responsive, and customized service
to meet the commercial and private banking needs of professionals,
entrepreneurs, executives and businesses in the mid-peninsula area.
Mr. Kalkbrenner noted that Mid-Peninsula Bancorp's entry into the Nasdaq
National Market provides brokers and others with immediate access to the best
bid and ask prices and other information about the Company's shares throughout
the trading day. Those prices are available in over more than 200,000
electronic terminals in brokers' offices throughout the United States and the
world. Trading data is also distributed widely through wire services for
selective dissemination by newspapers and radio and television stations.
In addition to increased market visibility, Nasdaq offers Mid-Peninsula Bancorp
the advantage of multiple market makers that compete to offer the best bid and
ask prices. Mid-Peninsula's market makers are Hoefer & Arnett, Inc., Van Kasper
& Company and Sutro & Co. - all in San Francisco, Ca. and PaineWebber, Inc. in
Menlo Park, Ca.
On June 6, 1996, Mid-Peninsula Bancorp and Cupertino National Bancorp announced
the signing of a definitive agreement for a "merger of equals" between the two
companies. The merger will result in the formation of the largest multi-bank
holding company in the San Francisco Peninsula/South Bay region with over $500
million in assets. It is anticipated that the merger will become effective in
December of this year.
Mid-Peninsula Bancorp is independent and locally owned and a member of the
Federal Reserve System. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
