(June 11, 2003)- Keystone Savings Bank and First Colonial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTCG), the parent of Nazareth National Bank, announced that KNBT Bancorp, Inc., a newly formed company established by Keystone to become its holding company, has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an offering of common stock in connection with the Keystone's previously announced intent to conduct a mutual-to-stock conversion and to merge with First Colonial. KNBT Bancorp and Keystone have also filed applications with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for approval of a Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") as well as for the previously announced agreement to merge with First Colonial and Nazareth National Bank. Based on an independent appraisal of market value, KNBT Bancorp will offer in the mutual-to-stock conversion between 12,983,750 and 17,566,250 shares of common stock (subject to a 15% increase to 20,201,188 shares) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. At May 30, 2003, the independent appraisal reflected a valuation range of between $129.8 million and $175.7 million, with a midpoint of $152.8 million. Shares will be offered in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In addition, under the terms of the merger agreement with First Colonial, each share of First Colonial will be valued at $37 and exchanged for shares of KNBT Bancorp common stock based on the initial public offering (IPO) price of KNBT Bancorp's common stock. (Based on the proposed IPO price of $10 per share, each share of First Colonial will be exchanged for 3.7 shares of KNBT Bancorp.) The offering is expected to commence late in the third quarter of 2003 and will be managed by Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. The completion of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of various regulatory approvals, as well as the approval of First Colonial's shareholders and Keystone's depositors. It is currently expected that the annual meeting of shareholders of First Colonial and the special meeting of depositors of Keystone will also be held in the third quarter of 2003 with the offering and the merger being completed in the fourth quarter.
