PART I
Item 1. INFORMATION ABOUT SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
Sky Financial Group, Inc. (Sky Financial), a financial services holding
company, has four bank subsidiaries with a total of 205 banking centers and
149 ATMs located in Ohio, southern Michigan, western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. Sky Financial also owns nine financial services subsidiaries which
engage in lines of business closely related to banking. Based on total assets
as of December 31, 1999, Sky Financial was the 7th largest bank holding company
based in Ohio. Through its banking subsidiaries, Sky Financial offers a wide
range of lending, depository, trust, and related financial services to
individual and business customers.
The Holding Company
Sky Financial Group, Inc., a registered bank holding company, is the
resulting company from the October 2, 1998 merger of equals between Citizens
Bancshares, Inc. (Bancshares) and Mid Am, Inc. (Mid Am). In conjunction with
the merger, Bancshares changed its name to Sky Financial Group, Inc. Sky
Financial's corporate philosophy is to encourage its subsidiaries to operate as
locally-oriented, community-based financial service affiliates, augmented by
experienced, centralized support from Sky Financial in selected critical areas.
This local market orientation is reflected in the bank subsidiaries' boards of
directors and branch banking centers, which generally have advisory boards
comprised of local business persons, professionals and other community
representatives, that assist the banking centers in responding to local
banking needs. The bank subsidiaries concentrate on customer service and
business development, while relying upon the support of Sky Financial in
identifying operational areas that can be effectively centralized without
sacrificing the benefits of a local orientation. Primary candidates for
centralization are those functions which are not readily visible to customers
and those which are critical to risk management. Asset quality review, data
processing, loan and deposit processing, certain mortgage banking activities,
financial reporting, investment activities, internal audit, compliance and
funds management are among the functions which are managed at the holding
company level.
Sky Financial's market area is economically diverse, with a base of
manufacturing, service industries, transportation and agriculture, and is not
dependent upon any single industry or employer. Similarly, Sky Financial's
customer base is diverse, and Sky Financial and its subsidiaries are not
dependent upon any single industry or upon any single customer.
Sky Financial's strategic plan includes expansion, market diversification and
growth of its fee-based income through internal business formations, internal
growth and through acquisitions of financial institutions, branches and
financial service businesses. Sky Financial seeks acquisition partners with
experienced management, which have significant market presence or have
potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of
scale and expanded services.
<PAGE 4>
There is significant competition among commercial banks in Sky Financial's
market area. As a result of the deregulation of the financial services
industry, Sky Financial also competes with other providers of financial
services such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance
companies, securities firms, insurance companies, commercial finance and
leasing companies, the mutual funds industry, full service brokerage firms and
discount brokerage firms. Some of Sky Financial's competitors, including
certain regional bank holding companies which have made acquisitions in Sky
Financial's market area, have substantially greater resources than those of Sky
Financial, and as such, may have higher lending limits and may offer other
services not available through the bank and non-bank subsidiaries. The bank
and non-bank subsidiaries compete on the basis of rates of interest charged on
loans, the rates of interest paid for funds, the availability of services and
the responsiveness to the needs of its customers.
The Company's executive offices are located at 221 South Church Street,
Bowling Green, Ohio, and its telephone number is (419)327-6300.
The Bank Subsidiaries

eastern Ohio. Mahoning will be merged into Sky Bank during the second quarter
of 2000.

in Pepper Pike, Ohio.

Supervision and Regulation
Sky Financial is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the Act), which requires a bank holding company to register
under the Act and to be subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). Pursuant to Federal Reserve policy, Sky
Financial is expected to act as a source of financial strength to each
subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support such banks. As a bank
holding company, Sky Financial is required to file with the Board of Governors
an annual report and such additional information as the Board of Governors may
require pursuant to the Act. The Act requires prior approval by the Board of
Governors of the acquisition by a bank holding company, or any subsidiary
thereof, of more than five percent (5%) of the voting stock or substantially
all the assets of any bank within the United States.
<PAGE 6>
The Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from
acquiring more than five percent (5%) of the voting stock of any company that
is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than banking or managing
or controlling banks. The Board of Governors is also authorized to approve,
among other things, the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in any
company the activities of which the Board of Governors has determined to be so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper
incident thereto. The Board of Governors has, by regulation, determined that
certain activities, including mortgage banking, operating small loan
companies, factoring, furnishing certain data processing operations, holding
or operating properties used by banking subsidiaries or acquired for such
future use, providing certain investment and financial advice, leasing
(subject to certain conditions) real or personal property, providing
management consulting advice to certain depository institutions, providing
securities brokerage services, arranging commercial real estate equity
financing, underwriting and dealing in bank eligible securities, providing
consumer financial counseling, operating a collection agency, owning and
operating a savings association, operating a credit bureau and conducting
certain real estate investment activities and acting as insurance agent for
certain types of insurance, are closely related to banking within the
meaning of the Act. It also has determined that certain other activities,
including real estate brokerage and syndication, land development, and
property management, are not related to credit transactions and are not
permissible. Each of the non-banking activities conducted by Sky Financial
through its financial services affiliates are activities which have been
deemed by the Board of Governors to be closely related to banking within the
meaning of the Act.
The Act and the regulations of the Board of Governors prohibit banks from
engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of
credit, lease or sale of property, or furnishing of services. The Act also
imposes certain restrictions upon dealing by affiliated banks with the holding
company and among themselves including restrictions on interbank borrowing and
upon dealings in respect to the securities or obligations of the holding
company or other affiliates.
Sky Financial is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and
other subsidiaries. Most of Sky Financial's revenues result from dividends
paid to it by its bank subsidiaries. There are statutory and regulatory
requirements applicable to the payment of dividends by subsidiary banks as well
as by Sky Financial to its shareholders.
Sky Financial's three bank subsidiaries, Sky Bank (Mahoning will be merged into
Sky Bank during the second quarter of 2000), Mid Am Bank and Ohio Bank are all
Ohio chartered banks and subject to supervision and regular examination by the
Ohio Divisions of Financial Institutions (DFI), and as members of the Federal
Reserve System, are subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve
Act. The Company's financial service subsidiaries are subject to various state
and federal regulatory bodies and licensing agencies. SII is subject to
regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, the Securities and Exchange
Commission and supervision by the National Association of Securities Dealers as
well as various state securities and insurance regulatory agencies. SAMSI,
MAFSI and SFS are subject to various state licensing requirements and are
subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. Sky Financial, as a
bank holding company, is subject to supervision and regular examination by the
Federal Reserve System. The deposits of all banking subsidiaries of Sky
Financial are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to the
<PAGE 7>
extent provided by law, and as such are subject to the provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
Each Ohio chartered banking association is required by law to obtain the prior
approval of the DFI for the declaration and payment of dividends if the total
of all dividends declared by the board of directors of such bank in any year
will exceed the total of (i) such bank's net profits (as defined and
interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net profits
(as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two years.
The payment of dividends by Sky Financial and Sky Financial's subsidiaries is
also affected by various regulatory requirements and policies, such as the
requirement to maintain capital at or above regulatory guidelines. In
addition, if, in the opinion of the applicable regulatory authority, a bank
under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or
unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the bank,
could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require, after
notice and hearing, that such bank cease and desist from such practice. The
FRB and the DFI have each indicated that paying dividends that deplete a
bank's capital base to an inadequate level should be an unsafe and unsound
banking practice. The FRB, the DFI and the FDIC have issued policy statements
which provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally
only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.
On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act which, effective March 11, 2000, permits bank holding companies to become
financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and
insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in
nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each
of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act prompt corrective action provisions, is well
managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA) by filing a declaration that the bank holding company
wishes to become a financial holding company. No regulatory approval will be
required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a
bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature
or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the
Federal Reserve Board.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act defines "financial in nature" to include securities
underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment
companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and
activities that the FRB has determined to be closely related to banking. A
national bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in
activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting,
insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development and real estate
investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is well
capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory CRA rating.
Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company or national banks with
financial subsidiaries must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in
order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without
regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the
financial in nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial
holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in
activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of
the financial holding company or the bank has CRA rating of satisfactory or
better.
