 (1) Amounts reported represent payments or reimbursements of tax liabilities
     imputed to the named executive officers. Aggregate perquisite amounts less
     than $50,000 or 10% of salary and bonus are excluded, in accordance with
     the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
 
 (2) Based upon the closing price per share on date of grant. The number and
     value of the aggregate restricted stock holdings at December 31, 1994 of
     the named executive officers, based upon the closing price per share on
     such date, are as follows: Mr. Alvord, 8,666 shares, $141,906; Mr.
     Overstrom, 6,666 shares, $109,156; Mr. Eyles, 0 shares, $0; Mrs. Kraus,
     4,666 shares, $76,406; Mr. Rothmeier, 2,666 shares, $43,656; and Mr.
     Sanborn, 3,333 shares, $54,578. Dividends are paid on restricted shares at
     the same rate as on other shares of the Corporation's common stock. 1992
     grants vest in thirds at one-year intervals from the date of grant. Under
     the Corporation's Stock Option and Restricted Stock Award Plan (the
     "Option Plan"), which authorizes grants of restricted stock to employees
     of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, all restrictions on shares of
     restricted stock will lapse upon a change of control (as defined therein).
     The approval of the Merger (as defined below) by the holders of the
     Corporation's common stock will constitute a change in control for
     purposes of such plan.
 
   Such aggregate holdings at December 31, 1994 also include the following
   number and value of performance equity share units granted in 1994 (see
   Table IV), based upon the closing price per share on such date: Mr.
   Alvord, 69,000 shares and $1,129,875; Mr. Overstrom, 34,500 shares and
   $564,938; Mr. Eyles, Mrs. Kraus and Mr. Sanborn each, 17,100 shares and
   $280,013; and Mr. Rothmeier, 13,100 shares and $214,513. Dividend
   equivalent units accrue on performance equity share units at the same
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
   rate as on shares of the Corporation's common stock. The maturation of all
   performance equity share units granted and dividend equivalent units
   accrued from the date of grant is contingent upon corporate performance.
   Under the Option Plan, which authorizes grants of restricted stock units
   (including awards under the Corporation's Performance Equity Plan) to
   employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, all restrictions on
   outstanding performance equity share units will lapse upon a change in
   control (as defined therein). The approval of the Merger by the holders of
   the Corporation's common stock will constitute a change in control for
   purposes of such plans.
 
 (3) Includes both original options and restoration options granted during
     1994. See Table II.
 
 (4) Represents earnout of the initial performance equity award reflecting 1994

     employees' thrift plan and (b) aggregate insurance premiums (executive
     group life and split-dollar life policies), respectively, as follows; Mr.
     Alvord, (a) $5,392, (b) $14,435; Mr. Overstrom, (a) $5,392, (b) $7,411;
     Mr. Eyles, (a) $3,598, (b) $5,418; Mrs. Kraus (a) $5,392, (b) $7,717; and
     Mr. Sanborn, (a) $3,598, (b) $5,299.
 
 (7) 1992 amounts represent (a) Corporation matching contributions to

     Eyles for services rendered and expenses incurred as a consultant during
     the first two months of 1992, and (ii) relocation payment of $125,000 to
     Mr. Sanborn.
 
 (8) Salary is pro rata from hire date.
 
 (9) Incentive commitments made upon hiring in 1992.

                                    TABLE II
 
  Table II sets forth certain information concerning options granted during
1994 by the Corporation to the named executive officers. The hypothetical
present value on date of grant shown below for Corporation options granted in
1994 are presented pursuant to the rules of the Commission and are calculated
under the modified Black-Scholes model for pricing options. The actual before-
tax amount, if any, realized upon the exercise of stock options will depend
upon the excess, if any, of the market price of the Corporation common stock
(or, if the Merger is consummated, the Fleet common stock) over the exercise
price per share of such common stock of the Corporation option at the time the
stock option is exercised. There is no assurance that the hypothetical present
values of the options reflected in this table will be realized. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, each stock option that is outstanding immediately prior to
consummation of the Merger will be converted automatically at such time into,
and will become, a stock option to purchase Fleet common stock and will
continue to be governed by the terms of the Option Plan which will be assumed
by Fleet. The number of shares of Fleet common stock subject to, and the
exercise price of, such stock options will be adjusted to give effect to the
exchange ratio specified in the Merger Agreement. (See "Agreement and Plan of
Merger" contained in Item 13, below.)

  * Restoration options replace shares tendered to exercise prior options and
    shares withheld for tax liability.
 
(1) Ten year stock options granted in 1994 will become exercisable in annual
    one-third increments, beginning one year from the date of grant.
    Restoration options will become exercisable one year after grant and will
    expire at the same time as the original option. All options will become
    exercisable upon a change in control of the Corporation which will be
    deemed to include the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the
    holders of the Corporation's common stock.
 
(2) During 1994 a total of 2,472,746 options were granted.
 
(3) The hypothetical present values on grant date are calculated under the
    modified Black-Scholes Model, which is a mathematical formula used to value
    options traded on stock exchanges. This formula considers a number of
    factors in hypothesizing an option's present value. Factors used to value
    options include the stock's expected volatility rate (28%), risk free rate
    of return (6%), dividend yield (4%), projected time of exercise (7 years)
    and projected risk of forfeiture rate for vesting period (5% per annum).
    Restoration option values are calculated using the same model and factors
    as original options, except that the projected date of exercise is the
    remaining term of the original grant (5 years) and the assumed risk free
    rate of return is 5%.

1994 by the named executive officers and the number and value of specified
options at December 31, 1994. The value of unexercised in-the-money stock
options at December 31, 1994 shown below are presented pursuant to the
Commission's rules. The actual amount, if any, realized upon exercise of stock
options will depend upon the excess, if any, of the market price of the

(1) The performance equity plan was adopted during 1993 to provide significant
    and fully competitive long-term reward opportunities for key senior members
    of management. Participants have the opportunity to earn their target
    performance equity share units if predetermined strategic business goals
    are achieved, and shareholder value is thereby created.
 
(2) Under the 1994-1996 cycle, the named executive officers received awards of
    target performance equity share units based on individual performance as
    determined by the human resources committee.
 
(3) Awards are earned, based on an accelerating scale, if the Corporation
    achieves a preestablished threshold return on average common equity. If the
    target return on average common equity is met, the number of shares of the
    Corporation's common stock paid out will equal the number of performance
    equity share units granted, plus dividend equivalents. Performance below
    the threshold goal will result in no payout; there is no minimum payout
    under the plan. Under the plan, all restrictions on outstanding performance
    equity share units will lapse upon a change of control, which will be
    deemed to include the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of
    the Corporation's common stock.

  Table V sets forth information for determining the estimated annual
retirement benefits commencing at age 65 that would be payable to participants
under the Corporation's defined benefit plans pursuant to which benefits are
determined by final compensation and years of service ("retirement plans").
Compensation for
 
                                       10

purposes of the pension table means the final year's salary and the average of
the short-term incentive awards for the five highest consecutive calendar years
after 1984 (see summary compensation table for salary). The amounts set forth
in the table are offset by social security benefits and assume payment in the
form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity, but do not reflect the reduction for
tax payments discussed below. As of December 31, 1994, remuneration covered by
the retirement plans and years of credited service as defined therein are as
follows for the named executive officers: Mr. Alvord, $1,042,000 and 35 years;
Mr. Overstrom, $788,600 and 24 years; Mr. Eyles, $522,500 and 7 years; Mrs.
Kraus, $459,000 and 15 years; and Mr. Rothmeier, $406,667 and 2 years; and Mr.
Sanborn, $540,000 and 2 years.
 
  The Corporation also maintains a split-dollar life insurance program which,
in addition to supplemental insurance benefits, provides a choice of
postretirement death benefits or supplemental retirement income. The formula by
which any retirement benefits for executive officers are determined under the
split-dollar life insurance program is 4% of cumulative base salary (6% for Mr.
Alvord) for all years of participation in the plan.
 
  The retirement plans include a tax-qualified pension plan and a supplemental,
nonqualified pension plan. At the election of individual participants, the
Corporation funds the supplemental plan and the split-dollar life insurance
plan discussed above through contributions to an irrevocable trust (the
"trust'). Such contributions will constitute taxable income to an electing
participant to the extent and at the time that the participant's benefit
becomes vested; income of the trust may also constitute taxable income to such
participants. The trust provides for the distribution annually to each electing
participant (or the remittance by the Corporation to the appropriate tax
authority on behalf of the participant) of an amount sufficient to pay all
income taxes imposed on the participant in connection with the trust; the trust
also provides for the retirement benefits to which electing participants will
be entitled to be reduced to their after-tax equivalents.
 
 Executive severance and employment agreements
 
  Messrs. Alvord, Overstrom, Eyles, Mrs. Kraus, and Mr. Rothmeier have
severance agreements which provide that if termination of such executive's
employment occurs within the two-year period following a change in control of
the Corporation and such termination is by the Corporation for other than cause
(as defined in the agreements) or by the executive for good reason (as defined
in the agreements), the executive will be entitled to receive, among other
things, (i) an amount ("severance pay") equal to the sum of base salary and any
amount awarded under the short-term incentive plan for the year preceding the
year of termination (or, under the agreements of Mr. Eyles, Mrs. Kraus, and Mr.
Rothmeier, if greater, preceding the change in control) multiplied by three or
the number of years remaining to the executive's 65th birthday, whichever is
the shorter (the "applicable period"); (ii) a pro rata portion of any award
related to any uncompleted performance award period under the performance plan;
and (iii) under the agreements of Mr. Alvord and Mr. Overstrom, an amount in
cash generally equal to the aggregate difference between the exercise price of
certain stock options held by the executive and the higher of the closing price
of the Corporation's common stock on the date of termination of employment or
the highest per share price paid in connection with any change in control of
the Corporation. These agreements also provide for the continuation of health,
medical and life insurance coverage for each executive after termination of
employment until the expiration of the applicable period or, if sooner, until
such benefits are provided through the executive's reemployment, and provide
each executive with pension benefits equal to the amount which the executive
would have received under the applicable pension plans had said executive been
fully vested and remained employed for the applicable period, reduced by the
pension benefits the executive will actually receive under such pension plans.
These agreements confer no benefits prior to a change in control. In the event
that any payments received by Messrs. Alvord and Overstrom in connection with a
change in control are subjected to the excise tax imposed upon certain change
in control payments under federal tax laws, these agreements provide for an
additional payment sufficient to restore the executive to the same after-tax
position the executive would have had if the excise tax had not been imposed.
The agreements of Mr. Eyles, Mrs. Kraus, and Mr. Rothmeier provide that
payments received in connection with a change in control will be reduced to the
extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any such excise tax.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
  The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement with each of Mr.
Alvord and Mr. Overstrom, effective as of February 24, 1994, each of which
contains the following terms and conditions: (i) an initial term of three
years, subject to extension for an additional one-year period on each
successive anniversary of the effective date unless the Corporation gives
notice of nonrenewal at least 60 days prior to such anniversary, (ii) annual
salary at least equal to that in effect on the effective date, (iii)
participation in all compensation and employee benefit arrangements available
to other executive officers of the Corporation, and (iv) noncompetition and
confidentiality covenants by the officers. In the event that the executive is
terminated by the Corporation without cause (as defined in the agreements) or
the executive terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the
agreements), then the affected executive will be entitled to receive, for the
then remaining term of the agreement, salary, short- and long-term incentive
compensation and coverage or credited service, as applicable, under the
Corporation's employee benefit plans. In addition, if any of such events
occurs, the outstanding equity awards for the affected executive would vest,
but would continue to become exercisable or nonrestricted, as applicable, as
originally scheduled.
 
  The Corporation entered into two-year employment agreements with Messrs.
Eyles and Sanborn on March 1, 1992 and May 11, 1992, respectively, providing
for annual salaries of $310,000 and $360,000, respectively. These agreements
also prescribe the 1993 grants of stock options, awards of restricted stock
and awards of short-term bonuses made to the executives for 1993, as disclosed
above on the summary compensation table. In the event of termination of
employment by the Corporation other than for cause (as defined in the
agreements) or by the executive for good reason (as defined in the
agreements), these agreements provide for the continuation of salary payments
for the remainder of their terms and, with respect to other matters, generally
provide as set forth in the employment agreements described above. On May 11,
1994, Mr. Sanborn's employment agreement expired in accordance with its terms.
On May 16, 1994, Mr. Eyles's employment agreement with the Corporation was
amended to provide for a termination date of May 15, 1997, subject to
automatic one year extension periods unless written notice to the contrary is
provided by either party on or before the March 17th immediately prior to such
May 16th renewal date. In the event of a termination of Mr. Eyles's employment
after a change in control of the Corporation, any benefits payable to Mr.
Eyles as a result of such termination will be paid pursuant to Mr. Eyles's
existing severance agreement described above, and no amounts will be payable
in such circumstance pursuant to Mr. Eyles's employment agreement.
 
  The Corporation entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement")
with Mr. Sanborn as of September 16, 1994 in connection with his termination
of employment. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to
provide to Mr. Sanborn (1) continued base salary and certain welfare benefits
until December 31, 1995, (2) his bonus with respect to 1994, (3) the payment
to which he would have been entitled under the Corporation's Performance
Equity Plan, with respect to the performance cycle ended on December 31, 1994,
had his employment continued until December 31, 1994, and (4) an election,
exercisable only at the times specified in the Letter Agreement, to receive a
cash payment with respect to all options held by him in an amount equal to the
fair market value of the stock subject thereto on the date of such election
over the exercise price thereof. The Letter Agreement also includes covenants
relating to non-competition and confidential information, as well as mutual
releases.
 
 Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation

(1) Based upon information contained in a Schedule 13D dated February 20, 1995
    and filed under the Exchange Act by Fleet Financial Group, Inc. ("Fleet").
    In connection with the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
    as of February 20, 1995, by and between the Corporation and Fleet, the
    Corporation granted Fleet an option (the "Option") to purchase up to
    24,195,625 shares (the "Option Shares") of the Corporation's common stock
    upon the occurrence of certain events, none of which has occurred as of the
    date hereof. Because the Option is not currently exercisable, Fleet has
    disclaimed beneficial ownership of the Option Shares. Other than the Option
    Shares, Fleet beneficially owns and has sole voting and sole dispositive
    power with respect to 5,811,900 shares of the Corporation's common stock.
    Certain directors and executive officers of Fleet beneficially own and have
    sole voting and sole dispositive power with respect to, in the aggregate,
    4,950 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Terrence Murray, the
    Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Fleet, beneficially owns
    17 currently exercisable warrants, each warrant representing the right to
    purchase one share of the Corporation's common stock at an exercise price
    of $22.11.
 
(2) Based upon information contained in a Schedule 13G dated February 13, 1995
    and filed under the Exchange Act by FMR Corp. ("FMR"). Based upon the
    information contained in the Schedule 13G, FMR is a beneficial owner of
    these shares as a result of various of its subsidiaries and affiliates
    providing investment advisory and management services and has sole voting
    power with respect to 232,455 of the shares, shared voting power with
    respect to 2,000 of the shares, sole dispositive power with respect to
    8,612,167 of the shares and shared dispositive power with respect to 2,000
    of the shares.

  The table below sets forth beneficial ownership of the Corporation's common
stock by each director, and by all directors and executive officers as a group
as of March 31, 1995. As of that date all directors and executive officers as a
group (21 in number) controlled 547,995 shares directly and controlled 3,100
shares indirectly, or a total of 551,095 shares representing .45% of the
outstanding shares. No director or executive officer beneficially owns or
controls directly or indirectly more than 1% of the outstanding shares. The
group (21 in number) would have beneficially owned or controlled 945,752
shares, representing .78% of outstanding shares, if all stock options
exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 1995 had been exercised. Except as may
be indicated below, each director possesses sole voting and investment power
with respect to the number of shares described as beneficially owned. Except as
set forth below, no director or executive officer reported any ownership of any
shares of any series of the Corporation's preferred stock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
 
  Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and their
associates are customers of and have had transactions with SBC and SBM and
their subsidiaries and affiliates in the ordinary course of business during the
last fiscal year. All loans and commitments included in such transactions were
made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral,
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons
and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features. Additional transactions may be expected to take place
between such persons and these banks in the ordinary course of business.
 
 Agreement and Plan of Merger
 
  On February 20, 1995, the Corporation and Fleet Financial Group, Inc.
("Fleet") entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement")
pursuant to which the Corporation will merge with and into Fleet (the
"Merger"). As a result of the Merger, each share of the Corporation's $.01 par
value common stock outstanding will be converted into the right to receive
.8922 shares of $1.00 par value Fleet common stock. Each share of the various
series of the Corporation's preferred stock will be converted into the right to
receive a share of an equivalent series of Fleet preferred stock. The Merger is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1995, and is subject to the
approval of the common stock shareholders of Fleet and the Corporation, the
receipt of various regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction (or, where
permissible, waiver) of certain other standard closing conditions.
 
 Directors' remuneration
 
  Directors' remuneration for 1994 was fixed by the board of directors at the
board meeting following the annual meeting of shareholders. Each nonemployee
director elected at the 1994 annual meeting of shareholders received an annual
retainer of $25,000, payable in common stock of the Corporation pursuant to the
restricted stock plan described below, and a fee of $1,500 per meeting
attended. In addition, the chairmen of the audit, human resources and
nominating committees each received an additional cash retainer of $5,000.
Employees who are also directors do not receive any compensation for service as
directors other than salary and related benefits. Pursuant to the Corporation's
deferred compensation plan for directors, directors may elect to defer all of
their compensation as directors in any one year.
 
  On April 25, 1989, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the adoption
of a restricted stock plan for nonemployee members of the board of directors,
which plan is administered by the human resources committee. The maximum number
of shares of common stock of the Corporation that may be granted under the plan
is 125,000. Awards of restricted stock were made automatically, on the date of
the 1994 annual meeting of shareholders, to each nonemployee director who was
elected at the 1994 meeting or otherwise continued in office. The number of
shares of restricted stock awarded to each nonemployee director so elected
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
 
equalled the amount payable to the nonemployee director as an annual retainer
for the calendar year within which the award date fell, divided by the fair
market value of each such share on the award date. Effective December 15, 1994,
the board of directors amended the restricted stock plan to allow nonemployee
directors to elect to receive the annual retainer in shares of restricted stock
of the Corporation, in cash, or in a combination thereof. The annual retainer
does not include fees paid for attendance at any board or committee meeting or
for chairing a committee of the board. In 1994, a total of 10,390 shares of the
common stock of the Corporation were awarded to nonemployee directors under the
amended plan. Directors who are not employees are not eligible to participate
in any of the plans presently in effect for employees of the Corporation.
 
  In January 1995, as part of the Corporation's policy of providing support for
charitable institutions and in order to retain and attract qualified directors,
the board of directors established a charitable giving program, which will be
funded by life insurance on the lives of the members of the board of directors.
Each director is permitted to recommend up to three tax-exempt charities to
receive contributions. Under the program, directors of the Corporation will be
paired up based upon similar life expectancies. When the first director of the
pair of directors dies, the Corporation will make a charitable contribution of
$1 million, paid out over a period of ten years. Upon the death of the second
director of the pair of directors, the insurance company reimburses the
Corporation for the money the Corporation has paid out, pays out any balance
due for the remaining ten year period from the death of the first director, and
pays out the charitable contribution of $1 million over a period of ten years
following the death of the second director. Directors derive no financial
benefit from the program. Because of the deductibility to the Corporation of
contributions and the use of insurance, the long-term cost to the Corporation
is not expected to be material.
