/C O R R E C T I O N -- Coast Financial Holdings, Inc./ In the news
release, "Coast Financial Holdings Completes Purchase of Downtown
Bradenton Building to House New Branch and Consolidated
Headquarters" issued earlier today by Coast Financial Holdings over
PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that there are several
revisions to the original release. Complete corrected version
follows. BRADENTON, Fla., April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Coast
Bank of Florida, a subsidiary of Coast Financial Holdings, Inc. ,
announced today that it has closed the transaction to purchase a
six story building in downtown Bradenton for $6.8 million cash. The
building will house, subject to regulatory approval, its seventh
Coast Bank branch and the company's headquarters. "This is a
terrific opportunity for us in several regards," said Brian Peters,
president and CEO. "In the new building, we will have a very
visible branch in downtown Bradenton, plus we'll be able to
consolidate all of our administrative and corporate operations to
one facility, from the two widely separated offices currently in
use. This move should also provide us with operational efficiencies
going forward." The building is currently occupied by a Republic
Bank branch on the first floor, which will be converted to a Coast
Bank branch in mid-May. Coast operations will occupy the second and
third floors of the building after renovations are completed, later
this year. All current tenants will remain, occupying the remainder
of the building. After the move is complete, Coast will sell the
building it currently is using as its operations center. The Cortez
Road building was originally purchased in November 2002. Coast
Financial Holdings, Inc. through its banking subsidiary, Coast Bank
of Florida (http://www.coastbankflorida.com/), operates six
full-service banking locations in Manatee County, Florida. Coast
Bank of Florida is a general commercial bank that provides
full-service banking operations to its customers from its
headquarters location and from branch offices in Bradenton and on
Longboat Key. Through an arrangement with Raymond James Financial
Services, Inc., Coast makes asset and investment management
services and insurance products available to its customers. This
