outstanding shares of UNBC that MUFG and its affiliates did not
already own. The acquisition of the shares was consummated through
a cash tender offer followed by a second-step merger. UNBC is now a

UNBC materials necessary to exchange their former UNBC shares for
such payment. As a result of the merger, UNBC�s common stock is
