To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
Pavilion Bancorp, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Pavilion Bancorp”), has appointed us to act as the dealer manager/information agent in connection with its offer to purchase for cash up to 128,832 shares of its common shares, no par value, at a price of $66.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest.
Pavilion Bancorp’s offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase, dated April 12, 2005, and in the related letter of transmittal, which, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, together constitute the tender offer.
Only shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be purchased. However, because of the proration provisions described in the Offer to Purchase, all of the shares tendered may not be purchased if more than 128,832 shares are properly tendered. All shares tendered and not purchased, including shares not purchased because of proration or the conditional tender procedures, will be returned at Pavilion Bancorp’s expense as soon as practicable following the expiration date.
Pavilion Bancorp reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase more than 128,832 shares pursuant to the tender offer, subject to applicable law.
The tender offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of shares being tendered. The tender offer is, however, subject to other conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
Upon the terms and conditions of Pavilion Bancorp’s offer, if more than 128,832 shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Pavilion Bancorp will purchase properly tendered shares in the following order:
| | |
| • | First, all shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by any “odd lot holder” (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) who: |
| | |
| • | tenders all shares owned (beneficially or of record) by the odd lot holder (tenders of less than all the shares owned will not qualify for this preference); and |
|
| • | completes the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the letter of transmittal and, if applicable, in the notice of guaranteed delivery; and |
| | |
| • | Second, after the purchase of all the shares properly tendered by odd lot holders and subject to the conditional tender procedures described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, all other shares properly tendered, on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares. |
For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you hold shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:
| | |
| • | Offer to Purchase, dated April 12, 2005; |

|
| • | letter to shareholders of Pavilion Bancorp, dated April 12, 2005, from Douglas L. Kapnick, Chairman of the Board of Pavilion Bancorp; |
|
| • | notice of guaranteed delivery to be used to accept the tender offer if the share certificates and all other required documents cannot be delivered to the depositary before the expiration date; |
|
| • | guidelines of the Internal Revenue Service for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9; and |
|
| • | a Questions and Answers Brochure for your use and for the information of your clients. |
Your prompt action is requested. We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. The tender offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Friday, May 20, 2005, unless the tender offer is extended.
