(NASDAQ/NMS: PSBI) and Jade Financial Corp. (NASDAQ/NMS: IGAF) announced today the execution of a definitive Agreement & Plan of Merger pursuant to which PSB will acquire Jade Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IGA Federal Savings Bank in a cash transaction valued at approximately $24.1 million. Pursuant to the Agreement, PSB will purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of Jade Financial Corp. that PSB does not already own for $13.55 per share. All Jade shareholders, except its Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), will receive cash consideration. The Jade ESOP may receive cash, PSB stock or a combination of both. PSB will purchase its own shares in open market and privately-negotiated transactions in order to provide shares for the Jade ESOP. In connection with the transaction, Jade's wholly-owned subsidiary IGA Federal Savings Bank will merge with and into PSB's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Penn with the commercial bank charter of First Penn Bank surviving the merger. The Agreement is subject to regulatory approval and the approval of Jade Financial Corp.'s shareholders. Anthony DiSandro, President and CEO of PSB, stated: "We are delighted with this acquisition which represents a significant step in our commitment to profitably expand our franchise. The acquisition will be immediately accretive to our earnings per share, will diversify our loan portfolio and bolster our core deposit base and will provide the customers of the combined company with an increased number of products and services. The acquisition will also expand our market presence in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia." John J. O'Connell, Chairman of Jade Financial Corp. stated: "We are very pleased with our affiliation with the growth oriented, community based organization like PSB Bancorp, Inc. We believe that this merger is in the best interests of our shareholders, depositors, customers and employees of our bank." The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase for financial reporting purposes. Repurchase of PSB Stock As mentioned earlier, PSB intends to commence a share repurchase program for the purposes of funding the exchange of shares for Jade's ESOP. Based on current market pricing, PSB estimates that approximately 400,000 shares will be purchased in open market and privately-negotiated transactions. These shares may be reissued to the ESOP upon closing of the transaction. If PSB is unable to purchase enough shares for Jade's ESOP, the ESOP would receive cash for its shares and PSB would retire the repurchased shares. Extension of Option Agreement PSB and Lawrence Seidman have extended the term of the option agreement between the PSB and Mr. Seidman until December 31, 2000. The option agreement was signed on May 30, 2000 and was scheduled to expire on October 31, 2000. The agreement, as revised, gives PSB an option to purchase for $13.55 per share the 103,950 shares of Jade owned by Mr. Seidman.
