Description of Cartoon
Cartoon depicting seven pigs sitting in a room around a board table. On
the room's door there is the following inscription, "Offbancorp Board of
Directors." A pig sitting on the left side of the board tables states,
"Mr. Chairman, I think we have a problem! Several shareholder
proposals were passed with over 5 million votes. What Should we do??" A pig on
the right of the board table responds, "Forget the Shareholders... This is our
piggy Bank!! Tell our lawyers to find a loophole to deny the vote!"
On the bottom of the cartoon the following footer appears: "Committee In
Support of Directors Who Will Sell ONBANCorp., Inc. The Participant Seymour
Holtzman directly or beneficially owns a total of 211,839 shares of Common
Stock."
