Item 5. Other Events.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of Blackhawk Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Registrant") held July 19, 2000, non-employee directors Sunil Puri
and Charles J. Howard were appointed to fill vacant positions on the Board of
Directors of the Registrant. Mr. Puri fills the vacancy created in May of this
year when Mr. Jesse Calkins did not stand for re-election due to a pending
retirement. Mr. Howard fills the seat vacated by Vice President and Secretary
James P. Kelley earlier in July of this year. Mr. Kelley resigned his seat on
the Board of Directors, which was scheduled to run through May 2001, in order to
allow the Registrant to fulfill its strategic objective of appointing
non-employee directors from the service region into which the Registrant's
subsidiary has been expanding. Although Mr. Kelley resigned his board seat, he
remains an employee of the Registrant's subsidiary, Blackhawk State Bank, and
continues to serve in his capacity as the Registrant's Secretary. The Company
issued a press release dated August 1, 2000, announcing the appointments which
is attached as an exhibit.
