Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to the common stock, par
value $5.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Suffolk
Bancorp, a New York corporation (the "Company"). The
principal executive offices of the Company are located at
6 West Second Street, Riverhead, New York, 11901.
According to the Company's most recent Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
as of such date the Company had 7,500,000 shares of
authorized Common Stock, of which 3,799,674 shares were
issued and outstanding.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(a)-(c) and (f) This statement is being filed
by North Fork Bancorporation, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("North Fork"). The principal executive
offices of North Fork are located at 9025 Route 25,
Mattituck, New York 11952.
The principal business of North Fork is to
provide, through its bank subsidiary North Fork Bank,
comprehensive consumer and commercial banking services
which include deposit and loan products, trust services,
annuity sales, cash management and investments through
its brokerage subsidiary.
Information as to each of the executive
officers and directors of North Fork is set forth on
Schedule I hereto. Each of such persons is a citizen of
the United States.
(d) During the last five years, neither North
Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge, any of
the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, neither North
Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge, any of
the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has been a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a
result of such proceeding was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
North Fork intends to finance its purchases of
the Company's Common Stock from available cash and
investments held by North Fork.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On January 31, 1995, North Fork filed an
application (the "Federal Reserve Application") with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Federal Reserve"), under Section 3(a)(3) of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, to acquire up to 19.9% of
the voting securities of the Company, and to thereby
acquire indirectly up to 19.9% of the Company's wholly-
owned subsidiary bank, The Suffolk County National Bank.
The Federal Reserve Application states North
Fork's intent to acquire up to 19.9% of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock from time to time in the
market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject
to market conditions. The Federal Reserve Application
further states that North Fork intends to acquire the
shares because it believes that the Common Stock is an
"attractive investment" and that "the market price of the
[Company's] stock will rise, resulting in a profit on
[North Fork's] investment." Finally, the Federal Reserve
Application states that while North Fork "is actively
exploring the possibility of acquiring the entire equity
interest" in the Company, North Fork will not acquire
ownership or control of more than 19.9% of the voting
securities of the Company without seeking prior approval
of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve Application also included
certain commitments by North Fork that it would not,
among other things, exercise a controlling influence over
certain policies and decisions of the Company, engage in
certain transactions with the Company or propose
directors (including North Fork representatives) in
opposition to the Company's nominees. In connection with
its consideration of the Federal Reserve Application, on
May 1, 1995 the Federal Reserve sought an additional
commitment by North Fork that it would not, without prior
approval of the Federal Reserve, exercise any enhanced
shareholder rights acquired as a result of its ownership
of over 5% of the voting securities of the Company to
obtain nonpublic information concerning the performance,
condition or business plans of the Company, to
participate in Company decisionmaking or to communicate
with Company shareholders. North Fork has committed in
writing to refrain from taking any such action without
prior Federal Reserve approval. On May 9, 1995 the
Federal Reserve approved North Fork's proposal to
purchase up to 19.9% of the voting securities of the
Company.
On February 10, 1995, North Fork filed an
application similar to the Federal Reserve Application
with the New York State Banking Department (the "Banking
Department") under Sections 141 and 142(1) of the New
York Banking Law (the "Banking Department Application").
Pursuant to applicable New York Banking Law, North Fork
may not acquire ownership or control of 10% or more of
the voting securities of the Company without Banking
Department approval. As of the date hereof, the Banking
Department Application remains under consideration with
the Banking Department, and North Fork understands that a
decision is expected in June, 1995.
North Fork intends to continue to purchase an
aggregate of up to 10% of the outstanding Common Stock
pending approval of the Banking Department Application by
the Banking Department and, following such approval, to
purchase an aggregate of up to 19.9% of the outstanding
Common Stock from time to time in the market or in
privately negotiated transactions, in all cases subject
to market conditions. In addition, North Fork plans to
continue to explore the possibility of acquiring the
entire equity interest in the Company. North Fork will
not, however, acquire ownership or control of more than
19.9% of the voting securities of the Company without
seeking prior approval of the Federal Reserve. To date,
North Fork has acquired 190,064 shares, or 5%, of the
Company.
Except as set forth in this Item 4, neither
North Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge,
any of the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has
any plans or proposals which relate to or which would
result in any of the actions specified in Clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)-(b) By reason of its recent purchases of
Company Common Stock, North Fork has sole voting and
dispositive power with respect to 190,064 shares, or
approximately 5% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding on March 31, 1995. In addition, an
aggregate of 29,910 shares of Common Stock are owned by
North Fork officers and directors, as set forth in
Schedule 2 hereto. North Fork expressly disclaims
beneficial ownership of all of the shares held by its
officers and directors.
Except as set forth above, neither North Fork
nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge, any of the
individuals named in Schedule I hereto, owns any Common
Stock.
(c) The following purchases of Common Stock were
effected by North Fork during the past 60 days:
Trade Settle Number of Price Per
Date Date Shares Share
5/25/95 6/2/95 3,000 $29.500
All of the foregoing purchases were effected
through brokerage transactions consummated on the NASDAQ
National Market System. Except as set forth above,
neither North Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's
knowledge, any of the individuals named in Schedule I
hereto, has effected any transaction in the Common Stock
during the past 60 days.
(d) Inapplicable.
(e) Inapplicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
Issuer.
Except as set forth in Item 4 hereof, neither
North Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge,
any of the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has
any contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise), with any person with
respect to any securities of the Company, including, but
not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities,
finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits,
division of profits or losses, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
