NATIONSBANK
Business and Banking Editors
SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Sept. 24, 1998 - Shareholders of
BankAmerica Corporation today approved the proposed merger with NationsBank
Corporation. Approximately 97 percent of the BankAmerica shares voted were voted
"for" the merger.
NationsBank shareholders also approved the merger during a special meeting
of shareholders held simultaneously today in Charlotte, N.C.
"I am very pleased that the shareholders of BankAmerica Corporation
overwhelmingly approved this merger," said David A. Coulter, chairman and chief
executive officer of BankAmerica Corporation. "BankAmerica and NationsBank will
be positioned more strongly as a combined company than either of us are
separately. This is even more true in today's volatile market," said Coulter.
"What are strong, separate franchises will be an even stronger, more diversified
company."
Coulter will be president of the new company.
With the approvals given today by shareholders of both companies, the
merger is expected to be completed Sept. 30, 1998, with the first day of
operations for the new company occurring Oct. 1, 1998.
