AAMES FINANCIAL CORPORATION BOARD MEMBER STEPS DOWN
Los Angeles, California, Dec. 23, 1997 -- Aames Financial Corporation
(NYSE: AAM) announced today that it has accepted, with regret, the resignation
of Dennis F. Holt from its board of directors.
Mr. Holt, a director of the company since December 1995, will leave the
board immediately. A successor has not been nominated.
Founder, president and chief executive officer of Western International
Media, Mr. Holt, 61, said that increasing demands on his time made it
impossible to continue as a director of Aames. His term was set to expire in
1998.
"We are grateful to Dennis for his years of service to the company," said
Cary H. Thompson, chief executive officer, "and we regretfully accept his
resignation. We are pleased, however, that Dennis has agreed to serve as a
consultant, and that Aames will continue to benefit from his experience and
expertise in advertising."
Aames Financial Corporation is a leading home equity lender and currently
operates 70 Aames Home Loan offices in 29 states throughout the United States.
Its wholly owned subsidiary, One Stop Mortgage, Inc. operates in 41 offices in
39 states.
