Item 5. Other Events
- ------- ------------
On October 11, 2002, the Registrant entered into a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Merger with First Bank of Central Jersey ("First Bank").
Pursuant to the merger agreement, total consideration paid to First
Bank's shareholders will be approximately $2.1 million. Shareholders of First
Bank approved the merger agreement at a meeting of shareholders held on December
18, 2002. As previously reported on December 30, 2002, Synergy received notice
on December 27, 2002 that an order had been issued by the Superior Court of New
Jersey, Chancery Division, Middlesex County, to enjoin the closing of the
merger, as a result of a complaint filed on December 26, 2002 by John E.
Pellizzari and Augusto Verissimo, stockholders of First Bank. By order dated
January 9, 2003, the injunction preventing consummation of the merger was
lifted, and the closing of the merger occurred on January 10, 2003. A hearing on
the merits of the complaint is currently scheduled for February 28, 2003.
Synergy believes that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit.
A copy of a press release issued January 10, 2003 by the Registrant is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
