ANNOUNCES EVALUATION OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES
Lakeview Financial Corp., the holding company of Lakeview Savings Bank,
Paterson, New Jersey (the "Corporation") announced that the Corporation's Board
of Directors has been evaluating strategic alternatives in order to maximize
shareholder value. Included in the Corporation's strategic alternatives is a
possible sale of the Corporation; however, at this time, it is not possible to
determine whether the Corporation will receive any expressions of interest or,
if so, whether any such expressions of interest will be acceptable or result in
the Corporation entering into negotiations with any potential acquirer. The
Corporation has retained Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. to assist in its
evaluation of its alternatives.
As a matter of policy, the Corporation does not intend to comment
publicly concerning any proposals that may be received or any possible
negotiations the Corporation may enter into in connection with any such
proposals until the Corporation determines that public disclosure would be
appropriate.
