ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On July 31, 1998, Banknorth Group, Inc. (the "Company" or

("Evergreen") of Glens Falls, New York pursuant to which the Company agreed

the bank holding company parent for a single community bank, Evergreen
Bank, N.A., which operates twenty-eight (28) branches in New York. The

Company's common stock for each share of Evergreen common stock and
