We continue to focus on value creation for our ---------------------------- shareholders and we are extremely pleased to report that our return on average equity in the second quarter of 24.86% was the 11th consecutive quarter when shareholders' return on average equity exceeded 20%," said David Kalkbrenner, president and chief executive officer of Greater Bay Bancorp. Mr. Kalkbrenner continued, "Greater Bay Bancorp's asset quality continues to remain strong, as our non-performing assets remain at low levels compared to our peers. Even with our strong asset and loan growth, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and maintain proper reserves, while aggressively managing our non- performing assets." 2 "We are also pleased that our strong financial performance combined with strong asset quality enabled Greater Bay Bancorp to receive an Investment Grade rating on its Trust Preferred Securities issued during the second quarter of 2000. This rating reflects the strength and stability of our Company and is recognition of the superior job our employees do in managing our client relationships," stated Kalkbrenner. "During May, we closed and fully integrated our seventh acquisition in three years with the addition of Coast Commercial Bank. We have two additional quality community banks scheduled to join the Greater Bay family by the end of the year 2000. On a pro forma basis, as if these mergers had occurred on June 30, 2000, Greater Bay Bancorp would have had assets of approximately $4.3 billion. Our Super Community Banking strategy continues to be very effective as it allows businesses and business owners to choose high touch personal service through their local bank while also providing the services and lending limits only available through larger financial services companies," stated Kalkbrenner. Greater Bay Bancorp's allowance for loan losses increased to 2.19% of total loans at June 30, 2000, compared to 2.12% at March 31, 2000 and 1.85% at June 30, 1999, while its ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.25% at June 30, 2000, compared to 0.20% at March 31, 2000 and 0.27% at June 30, 1999.

Greater Bay Bancorp's capital ratios continue to be above the well-capitalized guidelines established by the bank regulatory agencies. Greater Bay Bancorp signed definitive merger agreements to merge with Bank of Santa Clara, Santa Clara, California, which is anticipated to close in July 2000 and Bank of Petaluma, Petaluma, California, which is anticipated to close early in the fourth quarter of 2000.

Diablo National Bank, and Peninsula Bank of Commerce, along with its operating divisions serves clients throughout Silicon Valley, San Francisco, the San Francisco Peninsula, the Contra Costa Tri-Valley Region and the Coastal Market. Safe Harbor This document may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ, please see the publicly available Securities and Exchange Commission filings of Greater Bay Bancorp, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, and particularly the discussion of risk factors within such documents. We have historically obtained rights to acquire stock, in the form of warrants, in certain clients as part of negotiated credit facilities. We may not be able to realize gains from these equity instruments in future periods due to fluctuations in the market prices of the underlying common stock of these companies. The timing and amount of income, if any, from the disposition of client warrants typically depend upon factors beyond our control, including the general condition of the public equity markets, levels of mergers and acquisitions activity, 3 and legal and contractual restrictions on our ability to sell the underlying securities. Therefore, future gains cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy and are likely to vary materially from period to period. In addition, a significant portion of the income we realize from the disposition of client warrants may be offset by expenses related to our efforts to build an infrastructure sufficient to support our present and future business activities, as well as expenses incurred in evaluating and pursuing new business opportunities.
