Item 5. Other Events
Effective September 30, 1997, First Community Bancshares,
Inc. ("First
Community," formerly FCFT, Inc.) changed its corporate
domicile from Delaware
to Nevada, primarily to take advantage of a significant
savings in annual
franchise taxes. At the same time, the Registrant changed
its corporate name
from FCFT, Inc. to First Community Bancshares, Inc. in order
to reflect more
accurately its position in its banking market. The changes
in domicile and
name were effected by means of a merger between FCFT, Inc.
and First
Community, a new Nevada corporation formed for this purpose.
The merger has
no significance to the operations of the Registrant.
The common stock of FCFT, Inc. was registered under Section
12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a)
under the Act, the
common stock of First Community is deemed registered under
that section.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its
behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
