PENDING MERGER On December 12, 1995, the Company and Bank of Boston Corporation (Bank of Boston) entered into an agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Bank of Boston will merge with and into the Company and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Boston (the Merger). In addition, related Stock Option Agreements were executed pursuant to which Bank of Boston granted the Company a conditional option to purchase up to 22,400,761 shares of Bank of Boston common stock and the Company granted to Bank of Boston a conditional option to purchase up to 3,907,120 shares of the Company's common stock, in each case equaling 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the respective granting company's stock. As a result of the Merger, each share of the common stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive 2.2 newly issued shares of Bank of Boston common stock. Outstanding options to purchase common stock of the Company will be converted to options to purchase common stock of Bank of Boston on the same basis. The Merger is intended to constitute a tax-free transaction and to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of both companies on April 25, 1996. This transaction is subject to approval by federal and state bank regulators and is expected to close in the third quarter of 1996. Subsequent to completion of the Merger, Bank of Boston's principal banking subsidiary will operate as BayBank of Boston, N.A.
