(the "Company") (OTCBB: SYNF), the middle-tier stock holding company of Synergy Bank (the "Bank") and Synergy Financial Services, Inc., announced today that the Company has adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company, Synergy, MHC (the "MHC") and the Bank will convert from the mutual holding company form of organization to a full stock company. The Bank previously converted from a federal mutual savings bank to the mutual holding company form of organization in 2001, with all of the stock of the Bank owned by the Company and all of the stock of the Company owned by the MHC. In September 2002, the Company undertook a minority stock offering and sold 43.5% of the outstanding stock of the Company to the public. The remaining shares are held by the MHC. Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank will establish a New Jersey stock holding company ("New Company"), and the shares of the Company stock that are currently owned by public stockholders will be converted, pursuant to an exchange ratio, into shares of the New Company. Pursuant to the Plan, the MHC will be eliminated and the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the New Company, which will be owned entirely by public stockholders. -More- John S. Fiore, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, announced "through our prior acquisition of First Bank of Central Jersey, the expansion of our branch network and the growth of our loan portfolio, we have successfully put to work the capital raised in our initial public offering.
