Concerned CSB Shareholders For a Better Bank
An Open Invitation To The Shareholders
Of CSB Bancorp, Millersburg, Ohio
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As you probably know, The Committee of Concerned CSB Shareholders has nominated
Jeffery A. Robb, Sr. for election to the Board of Directors of CSB Bancorp, Inc.
at the annual meeting of shareholders, which is scheduled for Wednesday, July
25, 2001. We have sent our proxy materials, along with our blue proxy card, to
all CSB shareholders and I urge you to review these materials carefully.
We will be holding a meeting on Wednesday, July 18, 2001 in the conference room
at Millersburg Medical Center, 1261 Wooster Road, Millersburg, Ohio, beginning
at 7:00 p.m. Please join us to meet Mr. Robb, hear about his plans for the bank
and share your thoughts as to how we can make our bank better. Our attorney,
Christopher J. Hubbert, will be available to answer any questions you may have
about voting at the annual meeting. We will also have available copies of our
proxy statement and card if you have not yet received yours.
We believe that CSB's Board and management have failed to implement a business
plan and strategy to keep the bank financially sound. We are convinced that
CSB's shareholders have stood by long enough while the Board's management of the
bank has failed to halt a steady decline in shareholder value. We nominated Mr.
Robb for election to the Board because we trust that he will represent you, the
shareholders of CSB, and that he has the knowledge and expertise needed to help
guide the bank through this crisis. We believe that Mr. Robb's election will
provide management with the fresh perspective necessary to increase
profitability and maximize shareholder value, and we urge you to vote to support
Mr. Robb and help bring a change of direction to your bank.
Your vote is important. No matter how many or how few shares of CSB you own,
please vote for Mr. Robb by signing, dating and returning our blue proxy card
today. Do not return the green proxy card sent to you by CSB's Board of
Directors. Even if you mark "withhold" on the Board's green proxy card as a
protest against the incumbent Board, your vote will not count for Mr. Robb. You
can only vote for Mr. Robb on the blue proxy card.
If your shares are held for you by a bank or brokerage firm, your broker cannot
vote your shares unless he or she receives your specific instructions. Please
call your bank or broker and instruct your representative to vote for Mr. Robb
on the blue proxy card.
If you have already returned a Board of Directors' proxy card before receiving
our proxy statement, you have every right to change your vote by signing and
returning our blue proxy card. Only your latest dated properly executed proxy
will count at the annual meeting. Make certain that your most recent proxy is
our blue proxy.
For your proxy to count for Mr. Robb, we must receive it before the annual
meeting on July 25. You can mail your signed and dated proxy card to us at P.O.
Box 170, Millersburg, Ohio 44654, fax it to us at 330-674-4914, or deliver it
directly to any of our committee members: Richard G. Elliott, Ted W. DeHass, Don
E. Sprankle, Jeffery A. Robb, Sr., Gloria J. Miller, Darwin L. Snyder or Victor
R. Snyder. Of course, you may also attend the annual meeting and vote for Mr.
Robb in person.
If you have any questions about how to vote your shares or change your vote,
please contact us toll-free at 800-276-8169. The annual meeting is July 25 --
don't delay! Please vote the blue proxy card today for a better bank!
Respectfully Submitted,
/s/ Richard G. Elliott
RICHARD G. ELLIOTT July 12, 2001
Chairman of The Committee of Concerned
CSB Shareholders for a Better Bank
