In this connection, the Bank recognizes that, as is the case with many businesses, the possibility of a change in control may exist and that such possibility and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Bank, the Company and their respective shareholders.
