ANNOUNCES INTENT TO DE-REGISTER WITH THE SEC
Peru, Indiana, April 30, 1999 - AmTrust Capital Corp. (the "Company"), the
parent holding company for American Trust Federal Savings Bank, announced its
intention today to de-register with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
effective May 13, 1999. The Company first became a public reporting company on
March 28, 1995, and at that time committed to remain a public reporting company
for at least three years.
Bruce M. Borst, President of the Company, indicated that the Board of
Directors approved the de-registration with the SEC in light of the Company's
current number of record stockholders and the cost savings to the Company. Mr.
Borst stated that it is still the Company's intention to provide its
stockholders with quarterly unaudited earnings releases, as well as an annual
report and proxy statement. "The deregistration will save the Company money both
in legal and accounting fees, since it won't have to comply with all the
requirements of the SEC rules and regulations," continued Mr. Borst.
