ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
(ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO) JUNE 28, 2002
ACCESS ANYTIME BANCORP, INC. COMPLETES SALE OF FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000)
OF TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
Access Anytime Bancorp, Inc. ("Access") (Nasdaq: AABC), the holding company
for FIRSTBANK, announced today the issuance of $4 million through a private
placement of Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities of Access Anytime
Capital Trust II with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share to mature 30
years from the date of issuance. The Trust Preferred Securities are at a
variable rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 365 basis
points, floating quarterly, with a five-year cap of 12%, a five-year payment
option at par and they represent undivided beneficial interests in a Delaware
business trust, which was established by Access for the purpose of issuing
the securities. The Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a
private transaction by Bear Stearns & Co. (BSC) as part of a pooled trust
preferred transaction with Bear Stearns and other investment banking firms.
Such securities are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), and have not been registered under the Act.
The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Access Anytime Capital Trust II used the proceeds from the sale of the
Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated
Debentures of Access. Access will use the proceeds for general corporate
purposes such as future acquisitions and branch expansion.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of any offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any
state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities law of any such state.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995: Statements made in this news release that relate to future events are
made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and Access
assumes no obligation to update this information. Because actual results may
differ materially from expectations, Access cautions readers not to place
undue reliance on these statements. A number of factors, including changes
in economic conditions in the company's market area, changes in policies by

company's market area, and competition, could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or
projected. For a detailed discussion of the important factors affecting
Access, please see the company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2001 and Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 filed with the
