W. Paul Wolf Retires from Home Loan Bank
FORT WAYNE, Indiana, -- October 13, 1999 -- The Board of Directors of Home
Bancorp (Nasdaq: HBFW) and its wholly owned subsidiary Home Loan Bank, Fort
Wayne, Indiana announced today that W. Paul Wolf, Chairman, President, Chief
Executive Officer and Director of both organizations has retired from the
foregoing positions as of October 12, 1999 after 39 years of service to the 106
year old local community bank. W. Paul Wolf is one of the pioneer financial
institution executives in the Fort Wayne market and the last of the home grown
financial institution leaders.
"During my enjoyable tenure, the assets have grown from $13 million to $413.8
million at September 30, 1999 and for customer convenience served by ten (10)
banking offices," said W. Paul Wolf. "The loyal bank staff has great depth with
the June 30, 1999 officer talents exceeding 600 years financial experience. With
the average net loss on loans for the past 25 years representing less than
$2,000 per year, we have provided financial leadership in the peer group and in
our marketing area. Sorely will be missed the customer contacts, communicating
with the shareholders and the close employee relationship. The 43 years 8 months
of banking will transfer into an active retirement including grandchildren,
golf, travel, plus community and church activities."
C. Philip Andorfer, a Director of Home Loan Bank since 1988, was named Chairman
of Home Bancorp and Home Loan Bank upon Paul Wolf's retirement. Mr. Andorfer
stated that Donald E. Thornton, Senior Vice President of the bank, was given
additional managerial duties by the Board of Directors upon the retirement of
Mr. Wolf. The Board of Directors is actively looking for an interim Chief
Executive Officer, a process that will take less than two weeks. Mr. Andorfer
said "On behalf of the Board of Directors, we have all had the opportunity and
pleasure of working with Paul Wolf for many years. Paul has demonstrated
administrative leadership in both the growth of the Bank and the maintenance,
safety and solvency of Home Loan Bank. We appreciate his years of dedicated
service and know that he has positioned the organization to grow stronger and
more progressive into the future. We wish him the very best in his retirement."
