ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Effective January 1, 2000, J. Clarence Jameson, III, resigned as chairman of
the board of directors of the Registrant and resigned as a member of the board
of directors of AmericasBank, the Registrant's wholly owned subsidiary. Mr.
Jameson also resigned as president of the Registrant and as vice president of
AmericasBank. Mr. Jameson remains a director of the Registrant.
Kenneth D. Pezzulla, the Secretary of the Registrant and AmericasBank and a
member of the board of directors of the Registrant and AmericasBank, will serve
as interim chairman of the board of both entities. Until a permanent successor
is appointed by the Registrant's board of directors, Richard J. Hunt, Jr., the
Senior Executive Vice President of the Registrant and the President of the Bank,
will serve as the senior executive officer of the Registrant.
After successfully guiding the Registrant and AmericasBank through its
formation, the establishment of their new headquarters in Towson, Maryland and
AmericasBank's conversion from a federal stock savings bank to a Maryland
commercial bank, Mr. Jameson determined that it was an appropriate time to
reduce the level of his banking responsibilities.
On December 18, 1999, the Registrant and AmericasBank issued a press release
regarding the resignation of Mr. Jameson. The text of the press release is set
forth in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated in this report as if
fully set forth herein.
