Dear Fellow Shareholder,

 

Tom Vento has once again ignored the elephant in the room -- the above men’s grasping efforts to award themselves millions of dollars of stock benefits without a public shareholder vote.

The central issue isn’t how well or how poorly they have done the past few years, although in my estimation - and I’ve invested in well over 100 thrifts - these men do poorly. The central issue is personal in the most universal sense insofar as these men are not acting as responsible fiduciaries of this institution and our capital. In my estimation their actions are base, and neither Tom nor the other directors are willing to own up to this terrible behavior.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Joseph Stilwell
