ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS On October 20, 1995, Eldorado Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eldorado Bancorp (the "Company") acquired Mariners Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary Mariners Bank. Mariners Bank operated three commercial banking offices in southern Orange County, California. Its headquarters office was located in San Clemente, California, and its branch banking offices were located in San Juan Capistrano, California and Dana Point, California. All three Mariners Bank offices have become branch offices of Eldorado Bank. The acquisition was effected by the merger (the "Merger") of Mariners Bancorp with and into Eldorado Bank, as a result of which Eldorado Bank succeeded to all of the assets and operations of Mariners Bancorp, including all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Mariners Bank. Immediately following the effectiveness of the Merger, Mariners Bank was also merged into Eldorado Bank. In the Merger, each of the 630,276 outstanding shares of Mariners Bancorp Common Stock was converted into the right to receive one (1) share of the Company's Common Stock and cash in the amount of $6.46, subject to the rights of the holders thereof to exercise dissenters' rights under applicable California law. Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issued or to be issued by the Company in the Merger will not exceed 630,276. At June 30, 1995, Mariners Bancorp had total assets of approximately $77,221,000 as compared to total assets of the Company of approximately $309,345,000 as of the same date. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, Mariners Bancorp had net earnings of approximately $400,000. For the same six-month period, the Company had net earnings of approximately $1,917,000.
