Item 5. Other Events.
First Coastal Corporation (the "Corporation") announced that effective as of May
31, 1995 upon the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of the Amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Effective Date"), the Corporation
effected a one for ten reverse stock split with respect to the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Corporation. The reverse stock split was
approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's common
stock entitled to vote at the Corporation's annual meeting of stockholders held
on January 31, 1995.
As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of
common stock was reduced from 6,006,745 shares to approximately 600,674 shares,
subject to adjustment due to the purchase of fractional shares. As of the
Effective Date, each ten shares of pre-split common stock were reclassified as
and changed into one share of post-split common stock of the Corporation. The
Corporation will not issue fractions of shares of post-split common stock.
Stockholders who immediately prior to the Effective Date owned a number of
shares of pre-split common stock not evenly divisible by ten will be entitled to
receive an amount equal to the cash value of the fractional share, determined by
multiplying the fractional share interest by $3.20, representing the estimated
fair market value of a share of post-split common stock as of the Effective Date
as determined by the Board of Directors in consultation with the Corporation's
financial advisor. Such amount was determined by the Board for the sole purpose
of determining fractional share amounts in connection with the reverse stock
split, and the Corporation cautions its stockholders that the shares of its
common stock may not trade after the Effective Date at or near such amount.
Mellon Securities Trust Company, the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar,
has been appointed by the Corporation as exchange agent to act for holders of
the Corporation's common stock in implementing the exchange of their
certificates. Stockholders should not send in their certificates until the
notice informing them of the effectiveness of the reverse stock split and letter
of transmittal are received and should surrender their certificates only with
such letter of transmittal.
