Item 5:
On December 19, 1996 the Board of Directors of New York Bancorp Inc.
approved a 12.5% increase in its regular quarterly dividend and declared
a 3 for 2 stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend.
The quarterly dividend was increased from $.20 per share, or $.80 per
annum, to $.225 per share, or $.90 per annum, (i.e., $.15 per share, or
$.60 per annum, on total shares after giving effect to the increase in the
amount of shares from the stock split). The quarterly dividend is payable
on January 23, 1997 to shareholders of record at the close of business
on January 9, 1997. The stock split distribution will be made on
January 23, 1997 to shareholders of record at the close of business on
January 9, 1997. Fractional shares resulting from the stock split will be
settled in cash based upon the average of the high and low stock prices on
January 9, 1997. Prior to the stock split the Company had 11,044,794
shares of common stock outstanding, which as of the close of business
January 23, 1997 will amount to no more than 16,567,191, after giving
effect to the adjustments described above.
Based upon the declaration and payment of the stock split, all outstanding
options under the New York Bancorp Inc. 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan,
the New York Bancorp Inc. 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan, the New York
Bancorp Inc. 1990 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors, the New York
Bancorp Inc. 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and the New York Bancorp Inc.
1993 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors will be adjusted as of
January 23, 1997 to reflect the stock split by increasing the number of
shares which could be issued pursuant to the exercise of each outstanding
option by 50% and adjusting the per share exercise price for each such
share by dividing the respective per share exercise price prior to the
distribution of the stock split by 150%. Assuming no option exercises
from the date of this report, total options outstanding pursuant to all
option plans as of the close of business January 23, 1997, after giving
effect to the adjustments described above, will amount to 1,239, 074.
All outstanding stock appreciation rights ("SARs") under the New York
Bancorp Inc. 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan will be adjusted as of
January 23, 1997 to reflect the stock split by increasing by 50% the
number of SARs that could be exercised, from 138,600 to 207,900, and by
adjusting the exercise price for each SAR by dividing the respective
exercise price prior to the distribution of the stock split by 150%.
