PROXY STATEMENT
FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 29, 1999
APPROXIMATE DATE PROXY MATERIAL FIRST SENT TO SHAREHOLDERS:
SEPTEMBER 13, 1999
GENERAL INFORMATION

On August 18, 1999, the Board of Directors determined that it is in the
Company's best interest to effect a 3 for 1 split (the "Stock Split") of
Enterbank Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") common stock, $.01 par value per
share ("Common Stock") subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to
Article Four of the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 3,500,000 shares to
20,000,000 (the "Proposed Amendment").

The Company intends to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to
provide for additional authorized Common Stock in order that the Company will
have sufficient shares available to provide for the proposed Stock Split and
to also provide for future issuances in connection with potential
acquisitions, future stock offerings, or pursuant to existing and future
employee benefits plans and for other valid corporate purposes.

The Company cordially invites you to attend the Special Meeting of
Shareholders. This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the
solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies for use at the Special
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September 29, 1999, at the Company's
offices at 150 North Meramec, Clayton, Missouri 63105 in the Second Floor
Board Room at 9:00 a.m. Central Standard time.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are being first
mailed to Shareholders on or about September 13, 1999. The shareholder giving
the proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the meeting by:
(i) delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written instrument of
revocation bearing a date later than the date of the proxy; (ii) duly
executing and delivering to the Secretary a subsequently dated proxy relating
to the same shares; or (iii) attending the meeting and voting in person
(attendance at the meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of
a proxy). Any proxy which is not revoked will be voted at the Special Meeting
in accordance with the shareholder's instructions. If a shareholder returns a
properly signed and dated proxy card but does not mark any choice, his or her
shares will be voted "FOR" the proposed Amendment. The proxy card gives
authority to the proxies to vote shares in their discretion on any other
matter properly presented at the Special Meeting.

Proxies will be solicited from the Company's shareholders by mail. The
Company will pay all expenses in connection with the solicitation, including
postage, printing and handling, and the expenses incurred by brokers,
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy material to
beneficial owners. The Company does not intend to employ a proxy solicitation
firm to solicit proxies in connection with the Special Meeting. It is
possible that directors, officers and regular employees of the Company may
make further solicitation personally or by telephone, telegraph or mail.
Directors, officers and regular employees of the Company will receive no
additional compensation for any such further solicitation.

Only holders (the "Shareholders") of record of the Common Stock at the close
of business on August 18, 1999 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to notice
of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, the Company had
a total of 2,380,212 shares of Common Stock outstanding, without giving
effect to the Stock Split. After giving effect to the Stock Split, the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding would be 7,140,636 as of the Record
Date. Each share will be entitled to one vote (non-cumulative) on each
matter to be considered at the Special Meeting. A majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the
Special Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at
the Special Meeting.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Special Meeting will be counted by
the persons appointed by the Company as election inspectors for the meeting.
Prior to the meeting, the inspectors will sign an oath to perform their
duties in an impartial manner and to the best of their abilities. The
inspectors will ascertain the number of common shares of Common Stock
outstanding and voted, as determined by the proxies and ballots. They will
count all votes and ballots and perform certain other duties as required by
law.

The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock is required for approval of the Proposed Amendment. Broker
non-votes and abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the
proposal.

The Company's corporate offices are located at 150 North Meramec, Clayton,
Missouri 63105 and its telephone number is (314) 725-5500.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes the issuance
of a total of 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 each. The
proposed amendment will increase the total number of authorized shares to
20,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the Company. If approved by the
Shareholders, the first paragraph of Article Four of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation will read as follows:

"The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have
authority to issue shall be twenty million (20,000,000) shares of
common stock, par value $.01 each."

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company's best interest to
increase the amount of Common Stock authorized by the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to effect the Stock Split and to provide the Company with
adequate flexibility for valid corporate purposes. These purposes include
issuances of Common Stock pursuant to potential acquisitions, future stock
offerings, and pursuant to existing and future employee benefit plans.

In the event that Shareholders approve this proposal and there occurs an
event, for which the Common Stock is issued such as an acquisition,
additional stock offerings, or additional stock based incentive plans, the
possibility exists that either book value per share or earnings per share or
both could be diluted due to the larger number of shares outstanding. Under
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, shareholders do not have
preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities which may be issued
by the Company, which means that current shareholders do not have a priority
right to purchase any new issue of Common Stock of the Company in order to
maintain their proportionate ownership percentage. In addition, there could
be a dilution to the voting power of each share of Common Stock as additional
shares are issued. Such events would require the prior approval of the Board
of Directors and, under certain circumstances, the shareholders. No such
actions are planned at this time.

The approval of this proposal could be construed as having an anti-takeover
effect in that the additional authorized shares of Common Stock could be
available to defend a possible third-party takeover attempt. Management is
not aware of any such attempt to take control of the Company and the Board of
Directors is not presenting this proposal with the intent that it be utilized
as an anti-takeover device.

The additional shares for which authorization is sought would be identical to
the shares of Common Stock now authorized and outstanding, and the Proposed
Amendment would not affect the terms or rights of the holders of those
shares. The Common Stock has no conversion, preemptive or subscription
rights and is non-redeemable. In the event Shareholder approval of the
amendment is obtained, it will become effective upon filing of the amendment
with the Delaware Secretary of State.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION OF ENTERBANK HOLDINGS, INC. TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF ENTERBANK HOLDINGS, INC. TO 20,000,000.
