WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORP. TO JOIN FORCES
WITH EAGLE FINANCIAL CORP. IN MERGER
WATERBURY, Conn., Oct. 27, 1997 -- Webster Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WBST)
today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Eagle Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:
EGFC) on a stock-for-stock basis in a tax-free exchange fixed at 0.84 shares of
Webster common stock for each share of Eagle common stock. Eagle, the fourth
largest Connecticut-based bank with total assets of $2.1 billion, operates 30
branches in Hartford and Litchfield counties. With the addition of Eagle,
Webster will have $8.9 billion in assets and more than 110 branches.
The definitive agreement, which has been approved by both companies' boards of
directors, is subject to the approval of Webster's and Eagle's shareholders and
the appropriate regulatory agencies. Webster expects the transaction to close in
the first quarter of 1998.
"We are extremely pleased to be joining forces with one of Connecticut's leading
banks," said James C. Smith, Webster's chairman and chief executive officer.
"This is a natural alliance between two like-minded, customer-and
community-oriented banks. Both banks' employees are dedicated to providing
excellent customer service, and both companies have strong commitments to the
communities they serve. This merger will allow our combined organization to
offer more convenient and accessible banking services to our customers."
Under terms of the agreement, Eagle shareholders will receive a fixed exchange
of 0.84 shares of Webster common stock for each share of Eagle common stock. To
illustrate the value of this transaction at a given point in time, using
Webster's closing stock price on Friday, Oct. 24, of $66.00 per share, the
transaction would have a value of $55.44 per share to Eagle shareholders and an
approximate transaction value of $362 million.
The acquisition, which is expected to have a positive impact on Webster's
earnings per share beginning in the first year, will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests. The purchase price is approximately 2.50 times Eagle's
book value and 18.97 times Eagles' estimated 1998 earnings and 16.43 times
Eagle's estimated 1998 cash earnings per share. Webster currently anticipates
recognizing acquisition related charges of approximately $18.9 million before
taxes.
Robert J. Britton, Eagle's president and chief executive officer, said, "Webster
and Eagle fit well together because of our common understanding of our customers
and our markets. Eagle has sought to be a good corporate citizen in the
communities where our customers live. We are pleased that Webster has
demonstrated the same commitment. The merger increases our capacity to provide
financial services, including expanded business banking, as well as new services
such as trust and investment management and PC banking, to our growing numbers
of customers."
<PAGE>
The merger will increase Webster's assets to $8.9 billion and its deposits to
$5.6 billion, representing 10.8 percent of total deposits in Connecticut.
"Webster will strengthen its position as number two in deposit market share in
Hartford and New Haven counties, and will immediately gain the top deposit
market share in Litchfield County," said John V. Brennan, Webster's executive
vice president and chief financial officer. Webster will have more than 110
branches and more than 130 ATMs.
"Webster guarantees positions in our combined branch network to all Eagle
non-management branch employees. When two similar companies combine to form a
stronger bank, there will inevitably be duplication of duties, resulting in some
job eliminations," Brennan said. "While we have not yet finalized the number of
overlapping positions, we will do all we can to keep the number of position
eliminations to a minimum, as in past mergers. Employees whose positions are
eliminated at Eagle will be given preference for open positions at Webster. Our
history demonstrates a pattern of successfully placing most employees affected
by our mergers."
Regarding potential branch consolidation, Brennan said that some branches,
because of geographic proximity, will be consolidated. "We have not determined
the number and locations. Usually where branches are on opposite corners of the
street or within a mile of each other, we can consolidate the offices without
disruption to customers," Brennan said. It is important to note that both Eagle
and Webster customers will have more branches and more ATMs following this
merger."

to differ materially from those contemplated by such foward looking statements
include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) expected cost savings
from the merger cannot be fully realized or realized within the expected time
frame; (2) revenues following the merger are lower than expected; (3)
competitive pressure among depository institutions increases significantly; (4)
costs or difficulties related to the integration of the business of Webster
Financial Corporation and Eagle Financial Corporation are greater than expected;
(5) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins; (6)
general economic conditions, either nationally or in Connecticut, are less
favorable than expected; or (7) legislation or regulatory changes adversely
