The Corporation's Board of Directors has standing Audit and Executive Committees. The Executive Committee is composed of Messrs. Fedderly, Gravitter, Karbiner, Krantz and Puetz. The Executive Committee's purpose is to exercise the powers of the full Board between regular meetings of the Board. During 1998, the Executive Committee held four meetings. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Fedderly, Krantz, Lauterbach, McGovern and Werry and its function is (a) to review the results of audits of the Corporation and its subsidiaries performed by the Corporation's internal auditors, (b) to meet with, and review the results of audits of the Corporation and its subsidiaries performed by the Corporation's independent public accountants, and (c) to recommend the selection of independent public accountants. The Audit Committee held three meetings during 1998. The Board of Directors has not appointed a nominating committee, and the review of recommendations for, and the selection of, nominees to Board membership is handled by the Board serving as a committee of the whole. If shareholders were to recommend nominees for directors, the full Board would consider such persons. Shareholders are entitled to nominate persons from the floor at the Annual Meeting, but it is intended that the proxies solicited with the Proxy Statement will be voted for the slate of the thirteen persons listed in the table above as nominees to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors does not have a compensation committee. The Board of Directors held four meetings during 1998. All incumbent directors attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during 1998, except for Mr. Gravitter who attended 50% of those meetings.

(4) Mr. Wilson became Secretary of the Corporation effective October 14, 1998. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Executive compensation, including that of the C.E.O., consists primarily of salary and cash bonus. The C.E.O.'s compensation is determined in the same manner as the other executives. The bonus portion of executive compensation is based entirely on the Corporation's return on assets. If the return on assets for the twelve month period ending in November is less than the minimum amount of one percent (1%), no cash bonuses are paid. If the return on assets exceeds the minimum, the bonus is computed as a percentage of salary based on a formula such that as the return on assets increases, the bonus percentage goes up at an increasing rate. The same bonus percentage is applied to all officers of the Corporation. Except for the bonus, there is no specific relationship between corporate performance and executive salaries and benefits. In 1998, executive compensation was determined by the President and Executive Vice President of the Corporation considering the following factors without assigning any relative weight or importance to any factor: 1. Current compensation; 2. Cost of living; 3. Salaries paid to executives at other banks; 4. Performance of the bank during the prior year; 5. Prospects of future growth and performance; and 6. The individual performance of the executive. Stock price is not a factor in determining executive salaries or bonuses. The salaries determined by the President and Executive Vice President were submitted to the full Board of Directors for approval. After reviewing the recommendations, the Board members had an opportunity to discuss any factors they deemed relevant - there was no agenda or specific list of factors to be discussed. The recommendations of the President and Executive Vice President were approved by the Board without adjustment. The Corporation continues to follow its long standing policy of not providing its executives with many of the non-cash perquisites given to executives of similar companies. Executives receive no stock rights, options, warrants or stock appreciation rights. The Corporation does not provide memberships for its executives in country clubs or other social clubs. Also, executives receive no special retirement benefits or deferred compensation - they participate in the same retirement plan provided to non-executive employees of the Corporation.

LOANS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT The Corporation has never made any loans to any of its officers or directors. However, in the ordinary course of business, the Corporation's banking subsidiary made loans during 1998 to officers and directors of the Corporation, and to business firms in which officers and directors of the Corporation are officers, partners or in which they have a substantial interest. The loans made by the Corporation's banking subsidiary were made to the Corporation's officers and directors and certain of the companies with which they are associated in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to unaffiliated persons or firms, and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The estate of David A. Ulrich, a former officer and director of the Corporation, is the principal shareholder in a corporation that owns buildings occupied by the Corporation's central office (the "Central Office") in Oak Creek, a Tri City National Bank branch office located in Milwaukee, and eleven Tri City National Bank branch offices located in Pick N'Save food stores in Brookfield, Greenfield, Milwaukee, Oak Creek and West Allis. The Central Office building lease has a five-year term, through 2000, with one five-year renewal option. The branches located in local food stores have lease terms of three to five years, through December 1999, with three five-year renewal options. The annual rental for 1998 paid in connection with all of the aforementioned leases was $384,432, subject to adjustment as a result of increases in the consumer price index. Pursuant to the Central Office lease only, the Corporation is also obligated to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs associated with the building. OTHER BUSINESS The Board of Directors knows of no other business which may come before the Annual Meeting. In the event that any other business not known or determined at this time does properly come before the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the proxy shall vote in accordance with their best judgment. VOTING OF PROXIES Proxies received by the Board of Directors will be voted in accordance with the specifications indicated by the shareholder and unless authority to vote upon the election of the directors, or as to individual nominees, is withheld, the proxies will be voted FOR all of the nominees listed in the Proxy Statement. Nominees receiving the largest number of affirmative votes cast will be elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election. Any shares not voted affirmatively, whether by abstention or broker nonvote, will generally have no impact on the election of directors. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have selected the independent accounting firm of Ernst & Young to serve as its auditors for the year ending December 31, 1999. Ernst & Young has served as the Corporation's accountants for the past sixteen years. The services provided by Ernst & Young since January 1, 1998 consisted of assisting in the preparation of financial statements, and audit reports with respect thereto, for the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and providing assistance in the preparation of periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Representatives of said firm are expected to be present at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they choose to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS Proposals by shareholders sought to be included in the Corporation's Proxy Statement for its 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Corporation no later than December 27, 1999. PENDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS No director or executive officer is an adverse party or has an interest adverse to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.
