On August 2, 2005, Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it had set Monday, August 1, 2005 as the record date for its previously announced rights offering, and that the Securities and Exchange Commission had declared effective on August 2, 2005 the Company’s registration statement registering the shares to be offered. The rights offering will grant holders of the Company’s common stock nontransferable subscription rights to purchase in the aggregate up to 414,899 shares of the Company’s common stock at a subscription price of $17.00 per share.
Under the terms of the offering, holders of the Company’s common stock will be entitled to receive one nontransferable basic subscription right to purchase one share of common stock for each six shares of common stock held at the close of business on the August 1, 2005 record date. If any holders of subscription rights do not exercise their basic subscription rights in full, the Company will permit stockholders who do exercise their basic subscription rights in full to subscribe for additional shares at the same subscription price per share, on a pro rata basis.
