Other Events. ---------------------- On February 20, 2003, the Registrant issued a press release announcing that the cash payment to be received by the stockholders of the Registrant in connection with the merger of the Registrant and Wyman Park Federal Savings & Loan Association, a federally-chartered savings and loan association ("Wyman Park") and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with and into Bradford Bank, a federally-chartered savings bank, would be reduced from $14.55 per share to $14.50 per share. The reduction in the price per share was required under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 9, 2002 (the "Agreement") between the Registrant, Wyman Park and Bradford Bank to reflect the higher-than-expected cost of terminating the Registrant's defined benefit pension plan. Stockholders of the Registrant approved the Agreement at its annual meeting held on October 16, 2002, including the possibility of a reduction in the price per share due to costs associated with terminating the Registrant's defined benefit pension plan. Accordingly, no further stockholder approval of this change is required. Consummation of the merger between Registrant, Wyman Park and Bradford Bank is expected to occur by the end of February 2003 pending the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. A copy of the press release announcing the reduction in the price per share is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 7.
