Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 1, 2000, NBT Bancorp Inc., parent company of NBT Bank, N.A. and
LA Bank, N.A., and Pioneer American Holding Company Corp., parent company of
Pioneer American Bank, N.A., completed their merger. The merger results in NBT
being the surviving holding company for NBT Bank, LA Bank and Pioneer American
Bank. In the merger, NBT issued 1.805 shares of NBT common stock for each share
of Pioneer American common stock or approximately 5.2 million shares of NBT
common stock to the former stockholders of Pioneer American. Three members of
the board of directors of Pioneer American, Messrs. Richard Chojnowski, Gene E.
Goldenziel, and Joseph G. Nasser, have become members of the NBT Board of
Directors. The merger is accounted for as a pooling of interests and qualifies
as a tax- free exchange for the former Pioneer American stockholders.
