The documents containing the information specified in Part I will be
sent or given to employees as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In accordance with the instructions
to Part I of Form S-8, such documents will not be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") either as part of this Registration
Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 of
the Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference
pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this registration statement, taken together,
constitute the prospectus as required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") hereby incorporates by
reference into this registration statement the following documents filed by it
with the Commission:
(a) The Company's periodic reports on Form 10-K for the 12 months
ended December 31, 1997 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 1998.
(b) The Company's current reports on Form 8-K filed on March 17,
March 20 and June 19, 1998.
(c) The description of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01
per share ("Common Stock"), contained in the Company's
registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission on
April 15, 1998 and amended on May 11, 1998.
In addition, all documents and reports filed by the Company subsequent
to the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents or reports. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
registration statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
A description of the Company's Common Stock is incorporated by
reference under Item 3.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") sets
forth certain circumstances under which directors, officers, employees and
agents may be indemnified against liability that they may incur in their
capacity as such. Section 145 of the DGCL, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Registration Statement, is incorporated herein by reference.
Article IX of St. Paul's Bylaws, entitled "Indemnification," provides
for indemnification of St. Paul's directors, officers, trustees, employees and
agents under certain circumstances.
St. Paul also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of its directors and officers. St. Paul has in effect a policy of
liability insurance covering its directors and officers, the effect of which is
to reimburse the directors and officers of St. Paul against certain damages and
expenses resulting from certain claims made against them caused by their
negligent act, error or omission.
The foregoing indemnity and insurance provisions have the effect of
reducing directors' and officers' exposure to personal liability for actions
taken in connection with their respective positions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of St. Paul pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, St. Paul has
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by St. Paul of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of St. Paul in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, St. Paul
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or post-effective
amendment to this registration sales are being made, a statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement.
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, or Form S-8 or
Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
4
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant or expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person in successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
