A timetable adopted by the two cooperatives calls for completing an extensive study of the feasibility of the unification, developing capital and governance plans, and achieving required government clearance by late 1999, looking forward to a definitive agreement on the terms of a transaction and the execution of documentation after those steps have been completed. Member information meetings would take place in early 2000, followed by a vote to seek the required approval of the memberships of both cooperatives. The cooperatives have tentatively set June 1, 2000, as a goal for completing the transaction. This Form 8-K contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected, including the risk that the two cooperatives cannot reach a definitive agreement and the risk that the required membership approval will not be obtained. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
