Filed by PL Capital Group
PL Capital Group is sending a letter to stockholders of Synergy Financial Group, Inc. A copy of the letter follows as part of this filing under Rule 14a-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
Over the past two weeks we have met or spoken to many of you to share our vision for the future of Synergy Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Synergy”). As we have mentioned, we are not seeking full board control, but we are seeking to reinvigorate the board by nominating two highly qualified directors to advocate for a positive change at Synergy.Vote the GREEN proxy card today!
Our platform is simple – we believe thatALL stockholders would be better served if the following sound agenda were promoted:
| • | Increase the Company’s stock buy-backs |
| • | Concentrate on increasing Synergy's Return On Assets, Return on Equity and profitability |
| • | Lower executive and director compensation and benefits |
| • | Greatly improve Synergy’s corporate governance |
We believe that Synergy’s board of directors has failed to take the actions necessary to enhance stockholder value. We believe that the time for change is now.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Synergy’s annual meeting date of April 4th is fast approaching and we can not advocate for change without your support. We believe that the election of our two truly independent nominees will benefitALL Synergy stockholders.
Please vote the GREEN proxy card today! Do NOT send back management’s white proxy card even as a sign of protest. Remember, your latest dated proxy card will revoke all previous cards submitted, so if you have already voted the white card please vote the GREEN proxy card today.
Please vote the GREEN proxy card as follows:
| • | "FOR" the election of our two nominees to the Board of Directors, Mr. Daniel Spiegel and Mr. Daniel Eliades |
| • | “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC as the independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. |
| • | “AGAINST” the adjournment of the Annual Meeting to permit the Board of Directors to solicit additional proxies, if necessary. |
For further information, if you have any questions, or need assistance in voting, please contact us directly at our telephone numbers or email addresses listed below, or call our proxy solicitation firm, D.F. King & Co., Inc., toll-free at (800) 769-4414.
