FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER IS DISSOLVED AND
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION REQUEST IS DENIED ALLOWING
STOCKHOLDER VOTE TO BE SCHEDULED ON
TRUSTCO-LANDMARK MERGER
Canajoharie, NY and Schenectady, NY June 1, 2000
Gordon E. Coleman, Chief Executive Officer of Landmark Financial
Corporation- (NASDAQ OTC:BB LMFC) and Robert A. McCormick, Chief Executive
Officer of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (NASDAQ National Market TRST) today announced
that New York State Supreme Court Justice Robert P. Best, sitting in Fonda.
Montgomery County, yesterday signed an order dissolving the Temporary
Restraining Order entered on April 17, 2000. The Temporary Restraining Order
prohibited Landmark from taking steps to hold a special meeting of stockholders
for the purpose of considering and voting upon an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with TrustCo Bank. Judge Best also denied a request for a Preliminary Injunction
made the same day by Charles F. Cefalu and Private Mortgage Investment Services,
Inc. As a result Landmark Financial Corporation can now proceed to schedule a
stockholder meeting (anticipated to take place in mid to late July) to allow
Landmark stockholders to vote on the pending merger agreement pursuant to which
TrustCo has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Landmark for $21
per share.
"We are gratified that Judge Best has agreed that the Temporary Restraining
Order no longer serves a purpose"., said Mr. Coleman., "and we look forward to
giving our stockholders an opportunity to vote an the pending merger agreement"
"TrustCo is very pleased that it can now move forward to the next step of
the acquisition process", stated Mr. McCormick.
Landmark Financial Corporation, with assets of S26 million, operates an
office in Canajoharie, NY. TrustCo, with assets of $2.4 billion, presently has
53 locations in nine counties in the Capital Region of New York State.
