Home Loan Bank Expands
With Mini Branch Acquisition
FORT WAYNE, Indiana, - - May 3, 1999 - - Home Bancorp (Nasdaq: HBFW) parent
company of Home Loan Bank, Fort Wayne, Indiana announced that Home Loan Bank has
acquired the Norwest Bank mini branch at 334 North Second Street in Decatur. The
real estate transaction was consummated Friday, April 30, 1999, for an
undisclosed amount. The acquisition did not include any of the deposits of the
mini branch, rather only the building, drive-thru banking facilities and land.
Home Loan Bank established their original downtown Decatur banking office on the
Court House Square in October 1973. The daily volume of banking transactions is
greater than the current 101 North Second Street site is able to financially
provide and to efficiently process.
The Decatur North will represent the tenth (10th) banking office of Home Loan
Bank and will have a six-month restriction period, as stipulated by the prior
owner selling requirement, before opening for banking purposes on this site.
The Home Loan Bank Decatur North mini branch tentative opening date is November
1, 1999, which is subject to regulatory approval.
W. Paul Wolf, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The size
of the lot is adequate for future expansion of the mini office into a larger
updated full service facility. The community has overwhelmingly accepted our 25
1/2-year downtown presence. Now the mini branch site will enhance the downtown
Decatur preservation value. Adams County citizens have favorably accepted our
Decatur banking products under the leadership of Gladys `Jo' Thomas (Vice
President of Decatur Operations), Denise Johnson (Assistant Office Manager),
Penny Parrish (Loan Officer) and the other staff members."
"This uniquely designed drive-thru banking facility will fill the void of
auto-banking which has long been demanded by our customers," advised Vice
President Thomas.
Loan Officer Parrish stated, "Another important role in the Adams County
mortgage finance marketplace is offering consumers the ability to achieve the
American dream of owning their own home."
