MLF BANCORP CHANGES NAME TO ML BANCORP
UPDATE REFLECTS NEW IDENTITY OF MAIN LINE BANK
VILLANOVA, Pa.--MLF Bancorp, Inc., parent company of Main Line Bank,
today announced that stockholders approved management's recommendation to
change the company name to ML Bancorp, Inc. Effective tomorrow, the new
NASDAQ ticker symbol for the company's common stock will be MLBC.
The change was made to enable the public to better associate the
company's name with that of its principal subsidiary, Main Line Bank (formerly
known as Main Line Federal Savings Bank) which changed its name in May to more
accurately reflect the wide range of financial services offered by the Bank.
In July, ML Bancorp announced its best quarterly earnings to date and the
company's board of directors declared a two-for-one stock split effective
September 6, 1996.
ML Bancorp is the holding company for Main Line Bank of Villanova, Pa.
The bank has $1.9 billion in assets and operates 18 business centers in
Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties, and nine mortgage loan production
offices in Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and northern Delaware.
