(f) All of the Insiders are U.S. citizens. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration In September 1997, the Issuer was formed for the purpose of becoming the stock holding company of Oswego City Savings Bank (the "Bank"). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") that was approved by the New York Banking Department, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, which became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Bank was converted into one share of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Issuer. Information with respect to conversion of Common Stock by the Insiders has been filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction The purpose of the establishment of the stock holding company and conversion of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein is for the facilitation of acquisition of other financial institutions, the repurchase of common stock and the diversification of holding company operations. However, while the Company intends to exercise its rights as majority stockholder, and other than as disclosed below, neither the Company nor the Insiders currently have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's articles of incorporation, constitution, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be deleted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter- dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. On September 5, 1997, Oswego City Savings Bank (the "Bank"), the Issuer's wholly-owned subsidiary entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Oswego County Savings Bank ("County Savings") providing for the merger County Savings with and into Bank with the Bank as the surviving institution (the "Merger"). County Savings is a New York chartered mutual savings bank located in Oswego, New York. The Merger Agreement provides that additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to the fair value of County Savings will be transferred to the Company. The transfer of additional shares of the Common Stock to the Company is intended to represent the value of the interest of the depositors of County Savings that is being transferred CUSIP NO. 70320A 10 3 PAGE 5 OF 6 PAGES - ----------------------------------------------------------------- to the Bank. Minority Shareholders' equity interests will be significantly diluted as a result of the Merger. At this time however, it is impossible to quantify the extent of the dilution Minority Shareholders will experience in their equity interest. Such dilution will depend upon the fair value of County Savings as determined by an independent appraisal, and the market price of the Common Stock preceding the completion of the Merger. An independent appraisal firm will determine the fair value of County Savings as if County Savings were forming a mutual holding company and conducting a minority stock offering. The Merger is subject to various conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals from the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the New York Banking Department, as well as receipt of approval of the Company's shareholders and if necessary County Savings' depositors. As a result of regulatory review the terms of the Merger may be significantly modified. In the future, the Company and/or the Insiders may determine to purchase additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (or other securities of the Issuer) or the Company and/or the Insiders may determine to sell shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. Any such determination will depend on a number of factors, including market prices, the Issuer's prospects and alternative investments. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer a. As of February 6, 1998, the Company directly and beneficially owned 1,552,500 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represented 54% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date and reflects a recent 3 for 2 stock split in the form of a stock dividend.
