Re: | Plan of Conversion and Reorganization |
1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, MHC
Members of the Board of Directors:
The Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan”) of 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, MHC (the “MHC”) provides for the conversion of the MHC into the full stock form of organization. Pursuant to the Plan, the MHC will be merged into 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc., a federal corporation (the “Mid-Tier”), and 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. will be merged into 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc., a newly formed Maryland Corporation (the “Company”), with the Company as the resulting entity, and the MHC will no longer exist. As part of the Plan, the Company will sell shares of common stock in an offering that will represent the ownership interest in the Mid-Tier now owned by the MHC. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings given such terms in the Plan.
We understand that in accordance with the Plan, depositors will receive rights in a liquidation account maintained by the Company representing the amount of (i) the MHC’s ownership interest in the Mid-Tier’s total stockholders’ equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition used in the prospectus plus (ii) the value of the net assets of the MHC as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition of the MHC prior to the consummation of the conversion (excluding its ownership of the Mid-Tier). The Company shall continue to hold the liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain deposits in PyraMax Bank, FSB (the “Bank”). We further understand that the Bank will also establish a liquidation account in an amount equal to the Company’s liquidation account, pursuant to the Plan. The liquidation accounts are designed to provide payments to depositors of their liquidation interest in the event of liquidation of the Bank (or the Company and the Bank).
In the unlikely event that either the Bank (or the Company and the Bank) were to liquidate after the conversion, all claims of creditors, including those of depositors, would be paid first, followed by distribution to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders of the liquidation account maintained by the Company.
