Item 5. Other Events.
American Church Mortgage Company ("ACMC") will delay the annual meeting of its
shareholders until April 2003. ACMC has traditionally held its annual
shareholders' meeting in September or October. ACMC believes, since ACMC has a
December 31 fiscal year end, that an April meeting date will more closely
approximate normal corporate governance practices.
With this change, ACMC is extending the deadlines for shareholder proposals at
its next annual meeting of shareholders. Any shareholder who wishes to present a
proposal for action at the next annual meeting of shareholders and who wishes to
have it set forth in the proxy statement and identified in the form of proxy
prepared by ACMC must notify the ACMC so that such notice is received by the
Secretary by January 2, 2003. Any such proposal must be in the form required
under the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In addition, any shareholder who intends to propose any matter that
is not identified in the notice of such meeting must comply with the ACMC's
Bylaws, which require at least twenty (20) days' written notice prior to the
meeting stating with reasonable particularity the substance of the proposal.
