"We are extremely pleased with 1999's exceptional quality asset growth combined
with our record operating results," said David L. Kalkbrenner, president and
chief executive officer of Greater Bay Bancorp.  "Our Company had a record 38%
increase in core net earnings and asset growth of 39%. These results were
accomplished while continuing to maintain excellent asset quality."

Kalkbrenner continued, "Greater Bay Bancorp's Super Community Banking Strategy
continued to be successful in 1999 as we added two banks to the Greater Bay
Bancorp family while also announcing the signing of definitive agreements to add
two more banks in early 2000.  With these additions, Greater Bay Bancorp has
successfully completed one phase of our long-term strategy to `Ring the San
Francisco Bay.' As we move into the new millenium, we are excited about our
prospects for continued expansion through contiguous and infill merger
opportunities while continuing to focus internally on expanding our market share
and providing superior returns to our shareholders."

Diablo Bancshares, which is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2000,
and Coast Bancorp, which is anticipated to close in the early second quarter of
