There are 126,960 common shares owned by the ASB Financial
Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan"). First
Bankers Trust Company, N.A., is the Trustee of the Plan. Under
the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the Trustee
votes all of the shares allocated to the accounts of
participants as directed by the participants to whose accounts
such shares have been allocated. With respect to unallocated
shares or allocated shares with respect to which no
instructions have been received, the Plan provides that the
Trustee shall vote such shares in the Trustee's discretion. As
of December 31, 1996, 17,891 shares had been allocated to Plan
participants.
Although the Trustee has general authority to sell assets,
because the Plan provides that the Trustee is to invest
primarily in shares of the issuer, the authority to dispose of
such shares is limited by the Plan.
